Haven't time to look into this at the minute, but it's a curious one...

Kind of wonder how they are getting this to work. I buy most of my games second hand or on the Platinum label. I can't justify near on £50 for a game. Also, looking at the second hand game shelves gives me a good indication of what games could be rubbish.

+1, I'm tight too. :D

£15 is about my limit, perfectly achievable if you buy second hand or just hang 6 months back on release date.

Not even 6 months, recently... Batman Arkham Asylum for instance hit £15 there, though it's generally £18 and has been for two months or so if you look around. Only particular games seem to hold anything close to their RRP (COD series being a good example) :D

As I said elsewhere, I won't go above £30 now, and usually won't even pay that :)

True, and the ones that hold their prices (like CoD MW2) go on Christmas and Birthday lists. ;)
