Those are quite clearly nOOb games- you should only be playing the almighty Halo 3

merry xmas to all

These Gamestation offers are also supposed to be available online but both Lego Star Wars and COD4 were out of stock for almost the entire offer period but then mysteriously came back into stock as soon as they went back up to full price.

I wouldn't mind, but since Game took over, there hasn't been a branch where I live because the branch in Blockbuster closed, so I missed out on both the games I wanted.

[Beetlejuice]

Will have to check out the offers when the girlfriend drags me shopping on boxing day

And to make it worse, I then have to go shopping AGAIN the next day because the Lush sale starts

[Ultimate123]

MASS EFFECT FOR £19?! Great offer. Not online though.

[Wamphyri]

That is a fantastic offer, for the best game of the year

[kav]

Alright lads, just to confirm, I think this is probably every Gamestation - I picked up Mass Effect in the Glasgow Union Street branch for £19.95 and the guy said it was in every store.

It also applies to almost every other chart game as well (as far as I could see anyway - the shop was stowed and all I did was lep in and lep back out with a copy of Mass Effect, but there were lots of bright red stickers on almost every 360 game I could see).

Cheers for this info dazza.

[Fir3B1rd]

Now if Nothern Ireland had gamestation id be there!

But instead we get crappy Game .

[Ify]

Does anyone know when this offer ends (ME for £19)?

[DarthyBaby]

Its online now

I got it yesterday at my Gamestation for £19, the rest were discounted but not nearly as much as this one.

The guy in the shop mentioned how much of a shame it was that it had come down in price so much already, I asked why it had and he said "it just isn't selling, people don't wanna play long winded RPGs", so really, even though it is a bargain it is pretty bad that they have had to drop the price like this for such a great title. Even with the price drop, I never seen many people picking it off the shelf and there was plenty left.

Bioware will be less likely to invest all the time and effort into games like these and make them exclusives in future if they just don't sell. And yet Kane & Lynch is still full price, there's just no justice in the world.

It seems quite appealing to me, wonder why it isn't selling?

It isnt one of those games you have to pay a subscription for is it? Doesnt appear to me

No there are no subs for the game - strange why it isn't selling , or it may just be a short term promotion?

becauce you can't play it on line doesn't help it. Hope to get this boxing day looks real good...

[Georgie316]

As a current member of staff of Gamestation I would just like to add some things to help give clarification.

1. Mass Effect has dropped so much due to not selling well upon first release unfortunately it came out in the year where it had titles like Halo 3 to compete with and iirc it came out the same week as Pro Evo 2008 which is always a mistake cos the only games that will rival that in sales are Halo, GTA, and Fifa.

2. The offer should be on for at least 2 weeks, I cant give procise date due to the fact at store level we will only find out 1 (maybe) 2 days before customers do.

3. Games like Kane and Lynch not being reduced will be due to Eidos not allowing some redemption on any sold (unlike Bioware).

4. "Deals of the Week" are negotiated possibly a week in advance so generous companys (such as Activision for COD4) will allow us to buy as many copies that we feel will be neccesary, however some companies cannot supply us fast enough. For example Lego Star Wars Complete Saga, great offer but they couldnt get us enough copies for the Wii which was a bit crap tbh.

5. Lastly, there is no conspiracies going on, we dont offer something then hide all the stock we have of it. Alot of people over the xmas period called me a liar and claimed I had loads of stock of Wii consoles in my stock room and was just trying to create a hype, not true. In stores we have targets to meet which means if we got it we will sell you it

Hope this helps you out

[Raoul_Duke]

My point about Kane & Lynch was that it's a shoddy pile of crap (Sorry K&L fans) and deserves to be in the bargain bin, whereas Mass Effect is brilliance as usual from Bioware.

To be honest, I can't really blame people for purchasing such a great game like PES2008 due to it's incremental slight improvments year on year over a brilliant one off classic that's different from everything else. That would be kinda like buying some genuine decent original music over the pre-packaged pop tripe & X-Factor winners that clogs the charts week in/week out.

Couldn't have that could we?

[tutu]

Speaking of PES.. Me and my m8 brought this the day it came out (2008). It's the first game I have ever considered asking for my money back. The online play simply doesn't work (we get pings of about 3500). The previous PES games have been fine.

Overall the game presentation (menu system, music) is so pitiful. I could do better.

[James Baker]

got game vouchers for xmas - does anyone know if they will match the gamestation 19.99 on mass effect?

[Gmacaf1]

Been debating for weeks whether to get Mass Effect, definitely getting it now, what a bargain.

[EEC3]

Any other good instore gamestation offers? or Game for that matter? or anywhere else?

Game won't price match by the way.

[nero0410]

Just managed to pick this up today (they reckon it was the last one, but I doubt it)

Look forward to playing it soon

Nothing else really jumped off the shelf Graham. PES 2008 for £20 but wouldn't have thought this was your sort of thing. Nearly bought Flatout Ultimate carnage for £15 but passed in the end - too many other games to play.

[andrewrunagall]

mass Effect is now back to £39.99 online

Damn, I was hoping to pick it up for £20!

[Beetlejuice]

'Sold Out' instore at Newcastle today, but still advertised as £19.99. Not sure how long it will stay like that though!
