Its good to see price reductions each week, makes it interesting to see what you'll get. Lotta DLC there.
GTA IV and Skate 3 for me this week, although GTA won't be just yet i'll get the disc version at the same price.

[Simmy_82]

Nice, Trine is cheaper now for good may be tempeted with that now as i enjoyed the demo, but thought that it was a little steep to start with!

£14 each for GTAIV DLC is an absolute joke

I second that. Why is it that blu-ray games are getting cheaper and cheaper by the day, but prices for DLC seem to be getting more and more outrageous?

£31.99 for Dragon Age Awakenings? £28 to get both GTA packs? As examples, at the moment you could buy Mirror's Edge (7.99) and Killzone 2 (17.99) together for that, brand new (and still have change left over to put towards Borderlands).

Crazy prices.

Particularly as the GTA DLC is sloppy seconds anyway...

am pretty sure if look around u will find mirrors edge for £4.98 and killzone for £8...borderlands is easily available for £17.95.

That's exactly my point :) Since I last looked around, it seems games like ME and KZ2 have dropped in price even further. Yet companies seem insistent on pricing DLC as if it's still 2008...

ya i totally agree...i thought EA was the culprit of overpriced constant downloads but seems Rockstar has done the same. For Dragons Age a goty edition release should emerge at some point and for GTA episodes am just gonna wait for the retail disc to drop in price.
Until now i have found that Borderlands dlc have been the most sensible ones...pricing vs gameplay value-wise.
