For the geographically challenged among us, where is Greenstone?

That is a very good price for a 250GB Xbox and it even has a bunch of stuff.
The next gen will probably be pushing down prices on the current stuff, nice!

Still doesn't compare to getting one for free! There are more games though. Nice.

Nah, I just think it's a great special to celebrate the store opening.

I do think the Xbox 360 and PS3 will become nice and cheap once the new consoles are out. Good news for those with big libraries of games just in case their old hardware konks out.

Could be that they testing the waters to see if people will still buy either before the new ones come out

While I wouldn't put it past BT Games to do some clever market research like this, it's also not an unusual move to promote a store opening with big discounts.

I reckon we'll see a lot of console specials coming out now because the retailers might want to clear old stock before an official price drop for the consoles kicks in around the launch of the next-gen.

Bioshock Infinite (PC) is considered a special at R400? Uhm, lol?

I don't think I will consider it until it drops down to R100 exclusive range, didn't really go for the first 2 games.
But is the game any cheaper elsewhere? I don't really pay much attention to it since the game is more considered noise to me.

I won't be buying any games till pay day next week, only game I will get for now is Shades of Darkness till Company of Heroes 2 that is
