The Ł5 Challenge Hits The Jackpot
njsykora \| 6:41 AM on 05.07.2009	12 comments

Last week I set a challenge. How much game can you get for only Ł5? I came back from a branch of CEX with Timesplitters, Dynasty Warriors 3 and Zone of the Enders. I decided after that that CEX was way too easy so today I took another Ł5 and checked out the regular game stores. Almost an hour of umms, ahhs and a long chat to the store staff about the boxed copy of Secret of Mana in the nearby Gamestation later I spotted something rather special on the Gamecube. Following that I went to the other side of the store to look at the Playstation 2 games and found this. Jackpot.

Ico - Ł5
