Urgent, Gamestation - Online same as offline?

[angelox]

Quick question - are Gamestations online console deals the same as the deals in the shop? Cheers for any replies.

Some are, some aren't. Easiest way to find out is ring a local store and ask them if that deal applies to stores as well

Unfortunately the stores and the website operate essentially as seperate companies. So the deals and bundles you see on the website for example might not be the same as the ones in-store, and vice versa. That also means the the stores will not match their internet prices.

Its a little confusing maybe, but if you think about it, it makes sense. Otherwise in this day and age, no one would ever bother going into town to buy anything! Also, in a sense, you might be paying a little extra in the store for the service/advice you get. *shrug* A lot of companies operate the same way in regard to the price differences between stores and internet.

But not everything is different between the net and the stores, so best do what RLench suggests, and ring the store first to see if its the same, or they might have better alternatives.

I did - sadly their deal wasnt so great instore. Went into Virgin just to look at their sales - was pleasntly suprised to find wario ware+mario strikers+wii for 220, so picked that it and got trauma center as well ^^.

Thanks for your time guys!

That is a good deal, the advantage of the gamestation deals of course are the freedom to pick any games you choose, and I worked it out, you do save £10 off every game you buy in the console bundles.

But if another store does a bundle deal with selected games, and those selected games are ones you actually want (unusual, but it happens), then yeah thats obviously the better option, like that one in virgin for example.

Besides, if you don't like wario-ware or strikers, you can always trade them in for summat else at gamestation (i think they're worth about £20+ each), so yeah i think you made a good call there.
