After making up your mind to buy a particular title, you then go about buying it, looking back I should have ordered if off the net in time for delivery at the weekend, the game in question; Moto GP 2 for Xbox (new or used), this is how many places I visited to track down a "in stock" copy ...
Friday
Ilford shops (where I work) GAME, Woolworths, Dixons, independent game store, Blockbuster
Sunday (Romford)
GAME, MVC, Blockbuster, Gamestation, HMV, Woolworths, phoned Special Reserve Upminster & Chelmsford.
So 13 stores, then I finally found 2 used copies in GAME inside Debenhams. I know it's not the worlds best selling game (only 13,000+ people have registered scores on Live) and prehpas my timing was unlucky, but considering the game is less than 12 months old what a nightmare.
Moral of the story, order the game off the net from the luxury of your armchair. Anyone else had any longer searches for a "non-rare" game ?
