What goodies do you snag, Mossychops?
T-shirt? Poster? CD with game images, etc?

Anything worth offering me for Christmas (or in exchange for cash, depending on your point of view)? :)

Good for the consumer in the long-run, but very annoying if you've already done most, if not all, of your Christmas shopping already :( Pre-ordering titles now is definitely going to be avoided at the very least. So in summary... "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2" [PS3] for £17.99 from Play[dot]com on 13 November 2008, pre-ordering "LittleBIGPlanet" for £39.99 at Play[dot]com earlier this year, followed by two additional purchases of the same title again, at Play.com, for £29[dot]99 a week after release (to then find it down to near £22 at Amazon days later). Or perhaps £24.99 for two "Soul Calibur IV" [PS3] titles from Argos to then see Play[dot]com list at £17.99 the next day. Or even £29.99 for "Midnight Club: Los Angeles" [PS3] from GAME (with a voucher code) , or "Saints Row 2" [PS3] from Argos for £19.99, or "Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway" pre-owned at £26.99 days before it fell to £19.99 at Play[dot]com (from £39.99) with a free T-Shirt! I even ordered "Bioshock" [PS3] from Amazon on 30 November for £22.97. £17.99 at Play[dot] now! Yes, I finally gave in & bought it. Still unopened mind. The only real bargain I've had recently was "Dragon Ball Z® : Burst Limit" [PS3] for £13.44 using a 10% discount during TheHut[dot]com's "lunchtime special" offer. Waiting is not over-rated! Before it went out of stock, my (pre-ordered) Collector's Edition of "Quantum of Solace" [PS3] had dropped a fiver at GameStation, and now it is back in stock at the new-VAT friendly price with another quid off!... and I haven't opened my copy yet :( PS. GameStation have the UK Exclusive rights to sell this format... so the price may stay around £45 for a while. And just this week the "WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2009" [PS3] I bought pre-owned a few weeks ago has dropped £7.50 at GAME (online). However, waiting for the "Tomb Raider: Underworld" GAME Exclusive Limited Edition to fall in price has "paid off"; currently £24.46 for both the standard & Limited Edition variants (down from £39.99). And 9% QuidCo off this too. You watch... next week GameStation will have this at £19.99. The GAME Exclusive (and official) Special Edition of “Far Cry 2” dropped from £49.99 to £32.99 in-store last Friday, too, btw. Ho ho ho hum. Happy bloomin' Christmas. etc. BFN, fp.
