BT Games’ New Facebook Group Up, Exclusive Deals for Members

BT Games has a pokey little store in Tygervalley Shopping Centre that I might have frequented once or twice, but make no mistake – they’re a force to be reckoned with when it comes to video game retail. Not to mention that they except trade-ins of second hand games for credit on new ones – or so I’ve heard. And I often see these BT Games coupons in NAG Magazine too.

Now there’s an official BT Games Facebook group up, and to go a long with this there are perks for people who join.

These are reportedly time-limited special deals on games, consoles and so on, but are only for members of the group, and entail you having to have a password as well. So it sounds as though you’ll have to go on the Facebook Group page, see the deal, get the password, rush like hell to a BT Games store near you, remember the password, get the deal. If you forget the password or arrive too late: you lose, you go home, you cry yourself to sleep.

Interesting…

Classic Games Collecting: Splinter Cell Trilogy and Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance

             

The other day my family was out at Makro in Cape Town, and my mom came across Aliens versus Predator – the one from 1999 – for R99,99. And she didn’t pick it up for me either, which was upsetting.

You all know by now if you bother frequenting this blog regularly that I am a big classic games lover, and I would have liked to have added this to my collection of classics. It’s been years since I played AvP Classic.

Anyway, this weekend I went to Tyger Valley Centre and popped in at Musica, where I saw something that I hadn’t seen there months earlier when I last visited to do some classic game collecting. It was Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Trilogy, which has Splinter Cell, Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.  A three in one pack, originally released a few years ago, which today sold for R99.

*Yoink!*

Then I went over to CNA and had a look at what they had to offer. They had some pretty good stuff. I was impressed by some of the classics they had on offer. But I eventually settled for Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance – a classic that I haven’t seen sold in stores for years, and one that I’ve wanted to get a hold of for years as well.

I suppose the next time I’ll collecting will be next month. I all ready have my eye on Diablo II and the Lord of Destruction expansion, or else it would have to be StarCraft along with the Brood Wars expansion. I haven’t played either for years. I’ve played them, but haven’t actually owned them if you know what I mean. I played Diablo II years ago at a friend’s house.
