Forza3/Supermarkets?

[The Riddler]

Will this game be available from midnight from say, tesco 24hr or 24hr asda?

I've not preordered it, but wouldnt mind taking an hour out of work to go collect it tonight. Any one know?

[Fabric 2.2]

Should be in theory, I've found that it usually takes a little moaning to get them off their arse, and into the store room to get it though. They'll usually try "it's not in the systems till 10.30am.." or something, in my experience.

[The Riddler]

Thanks!

I'll just come back with something along the lines of 'Well i rang customer services before i set off/yesterday so i really hope this isnt a waster journey at this time of night...'

[GasolineFire]

Nice retort Riddler!

I might have to use that one as well...

I'll be taking the trip to Tesco's at midnight.

Anyone else from Swindon here in the know of where might have a midnight opening?...

[sidaorb]

Tesco are doing the standard for £39.95 from midnight.

Spoke to both Game and Gamestation and they won't confirm the price till they open in the morning, but they are saying they expect to be 'very competitive'

That would be a first, for either of them!

So, £39.99 for the standard game then.

Although I'd be happy to be proved wrong. I didn't bother with pre-ordering as I've got a load of Gamestation credit to use up...

Will wait till the morning before I make my ultimate decision.

BB pre-ordered for £39.99 and they are giving me £23 p/x for a brand new / sealed copy of Shift

Gamestation either £49.99 or £45.99 and they will give me £30 for the p/x

Game not sure what price or what p/x....surprise surprise.

Is that what they've told you? Arse. I was hoping it would be their usual new release price of £39.99.

Or has F3 followed the lead announced by MW2 and jacked up the RRP in the knowledged that it's a "big" title and people will pay it? Or just Gamestation taking the view that they can actually ask the £49.99 RRP that no-one will usually pay?

[Le Mans Visitor]

I have just called my local Tescos and they said go to the Customer Service desk at midnight and someone will get you a copy for you from the storeroom.

Sweeet.

[sidaorb]

Gamestation have said they can't confirm the price till the morning now, but they are sure that I will be happy.

Game said £55-60!!! When I pointed out that the RRP was only £55 the guy said 'So?'

PMSL guess where I won't be going then

[Z06George]

Bunch of crafty ass bandits!!! I have to buy the LCE to get the new 'Vette ZR1.

I heard somewhere that they're selling a standard edition FM3 with 13 months of XBL Gold for £35 at Play.com.

I think I heard it here. Not quite sure though.

EDIT - Nope, must be getting mixed up with something else.

Best deal I can find is £35 at Game.

That sucks.

Nevertheless I've found a 250GB Elite with Forza 3 for £240 and I've got my eyes on it.

Well i got it..

Tesco couldnt be arsed so i went to asda, the woman on the customer services desk had a box of games there, took the whole of 3 minutes.

[sidaorb]

how much from Asda?

[The Riddler]

Just shy of £40, had to get 2 copies as PickledRing is here playing also!

It had a card for some add on content too!
