Look at this
http://www.game.co.uk/lowdown.aspx?lid=5789&cm_sp=...

The 60GB and the 20GB consoles both at the same price ??? £199.99 how mind numbingly stupid!!!!

PS: play.com is selling the 60GB pro for £179.99 by the way!

You would have to add shipping on to that plus Play.com don't have as many overheads as Game.

The majority of online stores sell for cheaper than a real shop for both of those reasons.

The 20 GB version probably cost Game "X" ammount and they don't make much profit on consoles, so they can't reduce the ammount otherwise they will be losing money.

Hah, you think thats bad, GAME is a saint in comparison to Gamestop here in the US....

Game is a great shop, reliable often good prices, staff who know what they are talking about, pretty much all the things gamestop is missing.

Gamestop isn't that bad. I'm not sure at what point Gamestop became evil, but it's confusing

Probably at the point they started hiring people who have never played video games in their life and started buying games off of people for 20 bucks then re-selling them for $55

Yeah, but at what point were they not doing that? Gamestop seems to have always been evil.

Gamestop shops are annoying. The guys working there are annoying fucks who try to sell you another game when you get there to buy one. Also it's very expensive, I get my games for about 10€ less at my online retailer, also almost always 2-4 days before release.
