Best price in-store ?

for those of us who haven't pre-ordered

went to Asdas the other day - I could pre-order (with no payment) - but couldn't tell me how much it'd be.

any tip-offs to wheres going to be the best price ?

I'm guessing Sainsburys or Tescos could be a good bet ?

thanks,

Mark.

Re: Best price in-store ?

^^^ A word of warning - Forza may feel a bit dry in comparison to NFS Shift. Then again thats not to say just because you enjoy the thrills of NFS that you can't like the Forza game, it's just that there aren't many that aren't into driving games but would say they like both games.

Did you try the demo for Forza 3?

According to usher23 it is going to be £40.

Looks like Gamestation will be cheapest as their site shows £35 which is normally the same as in-store.

Although I do have some games to trade in and a £10 giftcard for Game so it would make the game pretty cheap from there

Re: Best price in-store ?

Right, Printed the gamestation £34.99 web page and took it to PC world. got it price matched to £34.49

I think I may have been a bit jammy as he was saying they would match the in store price which I knew was £39.99, thing is he was a bit dappy and the que was building, he was the only till open so he sort of rushed it through.

Re: Best price in-store ?

Couldn't find any decent deals on this, so went to Game got it for £29 by trading in GTA 4 (£6) and Forza 2 (£5). Disappointed at GTA price, but makes sense to trade Forza 2 since with 3 i'm never going to play it again and a fiver was more than i was expecting.
