*edit*
One guy on avforums reckoned he got this deal at his local Virgin, too:

Just got this Virgin Deal from the Milton Keynes Mega Store
£382.70
+ PS3 inc Controller
+ extra six axis controller
+ Motor Storm
+ Ninja Gaiden
+ Ridge racer 7
+ Bluetooth Blu-ray/DVD Remote Control
That lot actually came to £603 pre-discounts so I saved £220.30 off what an early adopter would have paid. That's some saving !!!!
Cracking deal but I can imagine Virgin catching on quite soon that they are discounting 10% on the individual items incorrectly.
The 10% discount came to £60.30. They then took that off the £443 total comprising of £425 package + £18 bluetooth remote control. The final amount then came to £382.70.
I didn't even mention the student discount when enquiring about the package deal and the assistant actually advised me that I could get the discount via the student deal.
It just so happens my nephew who is a student was with me but I don't think that would have mattered much TBH
In all honesty they hardly checked his student ID anyway, it was just a quick flash of the card. I think they are practically giving it to anyone who is savvy enough to ask. The floor manager served us as well and she looked like she couldn't care if we were students or not. I can certainly see some stores that aren't shifting stock not checking thoroughly how much of a 'student' you actually are.

The figures for July should be healthier thanks to the 'price cut'.
Until they sell out of the 60Gb and the price goes back to what it was.
Does anyone really think that will happen? They'll drop the price of the 80Gb version and call that a 2nd price cut or use some other weasely corporate-speak.
I've never played a Metal Gear game before and was quite curious as to what a stealth action game entailed and that presentatio really has me itching to play the game. I'm slightly worried the, obviously intricate (judging from the trailers), storyline may be somewhat wasted on me never having played before.
Is it worth me hunting down some of the earlier games to play in PS2 emulation mode on my PS3?

I wouldn't worry too much about the story as some elements are pretty impenetrable even if you've played them all.
If you liked the look of that trailer then certainly check out the previous games, even the Psone version, as the gameplay was typical MGS with many of the player abilities demonstrated also in previous games (usually more like the stealth sections than the battle section at the end of the vid). And they've always looked amazing and had fantastic attention to detail. If you aren't put off by the over long cut-scenes then you'll have a blast.

I've been trying to play MGS2: Sons of Liberty recently. I don't think it's very good, to be honest, but then it is supposed to be the poorest of the bunch.
