Bonus UK Bargains: hmv price drop edition (repost because some things are cheaper)
Anus Mcphanus | 3:43 PM on 05.01.2009 9 comments


NOTE: I thought I'd repost this blog since I got a few of the prices wrong (sorry!) but luckily they are cheaper than I thought they were so it's time we all got our Singstar on! Also a couple of these are flying off the shelves (not surprisingly), especially Street Fighter 4 so if you're thinking about picking any of these up I wouldn't hesitate.


I know Gemsi does the UK bargains blogs every week but since he normally only mentions online bargains I thought I'd do a shortblog to let you all know that hmv have dropped a load of prices on some really good games. These prices apply to the retail stores but I've checked a few titles online and some games are a little cheaper online but some are not. Anyway that's enough chit chat here's the list:

Playstation 3

Street Fighter 4 - £19.99
Resident Evil 5 - £27.99
Dead Space - £14.99
WWE Legends of Wrestlemania - £19.99
Fifa 09 - £19.99
Singstar vol 1 - £14.99
Singstar vol 2 - £14.99
Singstar Queen - £14.99
Eternal Sonata - £19.99
The Wheelman - £24.99
Saints Row 2 - £19.99
Tomb Raider Underworld - £19.99

Xbox 360

Street Fighter 4 - £19.99
Resident Evil 5 - £27.99
Dead Space - £14.99
WWE Legends of Wrestlemania - £19.99
Fifa 09 - £19.99
Ninja Blade - £19.99
Halo Wars - £19.99
Gears of War 2 - £19.99
You're In The Movies (including vision camera) - £14.99
The Wheelman - £24.99
Saints Row 2 - £19.99
Tomb Raider Underworld - £19.99

Still no love for the wii or DS though T_T

I was quick to pick up a copy of Street Fighter IV when I was in hmv earlier. With the nice embossed slip case too! I wasn't going to pass that one up.

My girlfriend would have loved a cheap copy of Saints Row 2, but I didn't notice it when I was in there. I'll be trying the Wolverhampton store on Sunday for that!

And cheers for the shout out here!

@Discarded Couch Sandwich:
You should be able to find it in Wolverhampton but if you're out of luck then let me know and I can see if I can grab one and post it up to you.

Thats a great price for Street Fighter, shame the HMV in Ireland are about 10yrs behind the UK stores when it comes to pricing and sales in general...*sigh*
Anus Mcphanus's Destructoid Blog
@Demios:
My offer extends to you to dude (or anyone else reading this) if you can't get one of these games and really want in on the deal then I can try and pick up the game for you and post it to you.

Anus Mcphanus's Destructoid Blog
@Jack Kelly:
Sorry bro no paper being made here. I'm just offering a little help to my fellow dtoiders.

Fallout 3 hasn't dropped in price so it's still like £40 or something like that so you'll prob be able to find a better price elsewhere
Kylius's Destructoid Blog
@Jack Kelly - if you've got a Morrisons near you, the one nearest me has had it down to £25 for the past month or so, I can't verify it's a nationwide offer, though!
Jack Kelly's Destructoid Blog
@ anus sure i know man i was just kidding, still surely you will make a little after postage, you deserve it for taking the tiem to pick stuff up and send stuff out to people.

@ kylius, thanks man ill check that out, i cant even find anywhere in stock right now!

 about me

Good day sir/madam and welcome to the world of someone who calls himself Anus Mcphanus. In the real world I go by the name of Dan.

The name Anus Mcphanus comes from back in school in 6th form. We had a TV in our common room and I used to bring in my N64 to play games during our lunch breaks. Being in a public (or private to you yanks) school meant that we couldn't shout out obscene profanities so openly and so we made up words/names we could say and not get in any trouble. Eventually these words became associated with a certain person and I became known as Anus Mcphanus which meant arsehole. I thought the name was hilarious and so I kept the name and use it as my online and gamer name from then onwards.

In my free time I enjoy being Welsh, taking long walks down the beach where I bury my secret stash of peanuts (dry roasted of course) and happy slapping drunks on the tube.
My life is rather dull and uninspiring except for those times where I lose my clothes and need to communicate via the wonders of interpretive dance.
I can't sing but often kid myself into thinking I can.
I do not like things up my butt.


This is my sorry arse
