UK Platinum Deal: 99p!

wait wait wait wtf tailsy are you being serious here?

...wow, you are. It's off to Gamestation over the weekend for me. :D
 
Wow, that's great. I'd die to get a game for a buck seventy-five. :/ Nintendo does love those deals. I could bring in my old DS and some cash fr a DSi, here.
 
I wish GameStop would do things like this instead of offering 75 cents for games you've never even played. :\

That sounds awesome, though! Perhaps makes up a little for having to wait longer?
 
Stupid half term, normally I'd be unable to reach anywhere that sold games at any point and so buying it from Amazon wouldn't have been a waste of about £22. xD

Then again I don't have 3 DS games I especially want to give up... damn you all.
 
Am I the only one who thinks this is a bad deal? xD I mean, a DS game costs around £30. So that's £91 for Pokemon Platinum (In a sense without discount from the games being pre-owned or shit) and Platinum isn't even worth buying anyway unless you don't have Diamond or Pearl!

i disagree, cuz some games aren't even £30
and platinum is awesome. i have diamond, pearl and platinum. platinum is definitely worth it
 
This was so fantastic; I have loads of games I never play but don't really want to sell because Gamestation'd give me about £3 for them. So I traded in Brain Training, Project Rub, Hoshigate and 99p for my shiny new Platinum game~

I called myself Giles, and I have four Pokemon on my team so far; Buffy, Xander, Cordelia and Spike. Hee!

Yeah, but you never get anything like as much as the game's worth when you trade them in, what with the shop having to make a profit from it :3
 
Aw man, wish I'd seen this earlier. Though I guess I don't really have three games I would trade in, I play all my old ones. D:
 
I hate you all with your 99p games!

Also, it's not a bad deal if you have three games you never play. That or you could have bought three really, really cheap games for the DS. There must be some so rubbish they're on sale for £2.95 or something.

EDIT: I just found out my friend had 6 games they wanted to get rid of and would have let me use three to get the 99p offer! D:

You Americans generally get better prices for new games from what I've seen. Platinum cost £30 - £35 when it came out in the UK (I think), which is around $47 - $55. Or maybe I'm wrong.

Pokémon DS games and other popular DS series, like Mario and Legend of Zelda, go for around $35. Used Pokémon GBAdvanced games go for $30 at GameStop. Wii games go up to $50 dollars.

So if your conversions are right it sounds like the UK has the worst luck with games, pricewise and release date wise.
