yeah m8 as fe man says, any info like this of cheap deals post em in biggys cheapskate corner.

so is this a good game then or wot

**Imran** · 18th March 2003

Isnt it worth leaving it in here aswell. i double post when I see deals like this, cos they are gonna have much more exposure in this forum than in Biggys.

Am I Wrong??? Sorry I honestly dont know whether double posting like this is frowned upon or what???

Anyway Great Find Mystery, by the way its �25

Cheers

**mysterym** · 18th March 2003

its 26 if you include P&P

**ZX7R** · 18th March 2003

actually my dear watson, on closer inspection we can conclude that the total costs will tally to �26.49p. Tally ho!

A word of advice too from an email confirming the Argos Order:

Anyone pre-ordered games from them before? Any idea on how quick they are to a get a title to you?

Dear blah blah,

Coming soon. Due for release on 21/3/2003. Pre-Order now.

**ZX7R** · 18th March 2003

yeah sorry I should have been more clear. I understand that that is the release date. What I wanted to know is how quick they are to send titles out on that date.

Have you ever recieved a game from them before on the release day? Or maybe the day after?

**maltloaf** · 18th March 2003

i thinkstuff like this should be posted in biggy's alone... thats what its there for.

maltloaf

**ZX7R** · 18th March 2003

yep thats true its about bargains and lettin people know

i posted the �79 cube deal in here purely for the reason that i thought that some people might not even look in biggys but would look in here because they are interested in the cube and i didnt know it had already been posted in biggys anyway

so although more people would see it in both, cross posting isnt really the done thing, so if it has to be in one then i suppose biggys is the best place to put it

just my weird opinion

**Imran** · 18th March 2003

ZX Mate, How U doin?

I read this on the Argos Website might help?

New Releases (Coming soon or Pre-release items)

These items are despatched on the working day prior to their release. You will therefore usually receive a �Pre-release� item on its day of release (subject to delivery). All Pre-release items are offered in good faith based on information received from our suppliers. We are not able to accept responsibility should the release date, content (e.g. Track listing) or cover art be changed or should the New Release be deleted. As per items on backorder, your credit card is never charged until your order is ready to ship.

Hope this helps, but yeah as you say above its 1.50 for postage.

Again Great Find Mystery!!!!

nice 1, last question, is the argos deal an online only do anyone know, or can you go instore and get it at that price.

thanks for info m8, y do they say out now on tele when it aint

**Imran** · 19th March 2003

I saw the advert last night mate, and at the end of it I was look for the last statement. It said out on the 21st.

So I presume this date still stands.

About your question regarding Argos:

I dont think Argos (The Store) will be doing Metroid at anywhere near this price, cos they do not allow Reserve and Collect service on the entertainment website. I think this is just a replacement for Jungle.com which I think is owned by the same group as Argos, and they have decided to market using the Argos brand. They are completely seprate entities, working in their own right.

Thats my tupence worth, however I may be wrong.

**Freaky** · 19th March 2003
