Halo 3, Mass Effect, PGR4 now 20 quid

By Ellie Gibson Published 16 March, 2009

They're joining the Xbox Classics range.

Microsoft has announced the addition of three new titles to the Xbox 360 Classics range.

They'll include Halo 3, which is well worth a purchase if you don't own one of the 25 million Halo games already sold around the world. Then there's Mass Effect, the tip-top sci-fi RPG from BioWare, and Bizarre's brilliant Project Gotham Racing 4.

The new Classics will be available from Friday, priced at GBP 19.99 a pop.

    PGR4 sold very poorly considering what a top notch racer it actually is.

    I hope this gives it the sales push it needs, though the original can still be found for less than £20 anyway.

  • Der_tolle_Emil #2 3 years ago

    PGR4 is indeed a fantastic game. Takes a bit to get into it I think but then it's one of the best racers I played. I also think it's finally time to get Mass Effect. Can't go wrong for that price.

    Every gen they knock out these classics range. It's all well and good you get games new at a cheaper price, but don't they think knocking out the stuff people have already bought in large numbers is a bit of waste of time?

    I've always thought to try to combat the 2nd hand market they should re-release the lower sellers. Half the average stuff shove out I wait until it's £20-£25 quid in the 2nd hand market anyway. Maybe give the lower sellers a 2nd chance at the cheaper price and you may see a little more money....

    I'll be counted among those who didn't bother taking the time to get into PGR4 then. It left me cold; however, Mass Effect is a different story. Brilliant game, and an absolute bargain for £20.

  • metalangel #5 3 years ago

    All these games have been available for less for many months... this would only have been a deal if they had been GOTY editions with DLC included. I tried to like the PGR4 demo but it just angered me constantly. And "kudos" can fuck off.

    These three games are CHEAPER new now than these classic range versions - PASS. I think the Classic Range games should be priced at £10

  • LHH #7 3 years ago

    The Mass Effect re-release gets a second disk with interviews and various other shit on it apparently.

  • Eraysor #8 3 years ago

    The only game that seems to have held its high price since release is Call of Duty 4, but even that is getting cheaper recently.

  • kinky_mong #9 3 years ago

    Well I got PGR4 for £7 new from Zavvi so this is a bit late for me.Oh well.

  • Jonny5Alive7 #10 3 years ago

    Thats not a bad price, although if you shop about you can often find it for cheaper than that anyway.

  • Pastici #11 3 years ago

    This may mean halo goes to about 10 bones on the second hand market. I refuse to pay more than £10 for it.

  • awb83 #12 3 years ago

    Pastici - I just refuse to pay for it

  • lennon #13 3 years ago

    Last time I was in Toys r Us Mass effect was 9.99

  • dr_faulk #14 3 years ago

    I bought Mass Effect and PGR4 second hand for €10 each. Best deals I ever got.

  • Rodchenko #15 3 years ago

    I'd like a better structure to the career mode though. Why do devs feel the need to restrict choice so much? I want a list of races, a list of cone challenges, a list of superstar events and maybe one-on-one races to complete a chapter. I want to be able to choose which gametype whenever I want, not this stupid calendar-based event bollocks.

    For once we agree. If it was for me, I would immediately scrap all those annoying kudos and cone challenges and limit my career to normal races and time attacks and checkpoint runs.

    @Goatboy

    Your idea of mint condition must be different to mine. Either that or our Blockbusters exist in different dimensions. They gut games so they are hardly ever in mint condition.

  • robthehermit #17 3 years ago

    I do believe that Mass Effect comes wit the dlc

  • spookyzombie #18 3 years ago

    Bit too late for these to be a good deal. You can get all three preowned in Blockbuster for ?28.97 or ?39.99 from Gamestation.

  • RedSparrows #19 3 years ago

    All crackers. Could get a console with just them and enjoy it for months. With Live, obv.

    PGR4 took away my cone challenges. I consider that a giant bad mark on an otherwise great game.
