24/7 Shop-Fest

Posted by Gavin Bowman on Saturday, July 23, 2005 at 5:21 PM

Apparently tomorrow is Internet Shopping day. I don't know if this is something that's widely supported (do countries with different date formats go for it too?), but UK games chain Game.net are promising a new deal every hour from 00:00 onwards.

I can't say in advance whether this link is worth anything, especially as some of their deals lately haven't been all that great, but I have seen good offers there in the past. The minimum I would expect is a good deal on some recent big titles, and even better deals on some slow sellers, maybe a good chance to pick up one of those great games that nobody buys. I've seen them do hardware deals too, I once just missed out on a great price for a Zelda SP bundle. Last time I checked they shipped internationally, but with the high UK prices and currency exchange rates, it's probably only UK shoppers who will end up feeling like we got a good price.

Update: Having looked closer at the offer, it looks like it's going to focus on Xbox games, which probably won't work outside the UK.

Update 2: The first offer was half price Xbox consoles. I don't know how many they had... it was only 10 mins past the hour when I checked, but they were all gone.
