Nice work, as always. Though there's little there for me, I'm sad to say.

TBH, there's been like no 360 deals for the last 2 months (I was away the week of xmas and for 2 weeks after new year's).

Any ideas on when there will be some decent bargains for my xbox?

You won't really see any decent bargains until the middle of Feb when the better titles start getting released. January is a lull in the video game market, hence a small number of releases and not many sales.

I'm guessing JB will have a proper catalouge next week, plus Devil May Cry 4 and Turok are being released.

Updated to include EB Games coupons. Can be found at the top of the article.

Wow guys, really impressed as there's quite a bit of time and effort put in here! I'm sure it's well worth it and appreciated, well at least I hope it is!

Dunno if it's worth mentioning but EB Games will price match most of these, handy if someone doesn't have one of the leading stores in their area but do have an EB. icon_cool.gif
