Offer is valid from the 3rd to the 6th July.

Front page says, get 10% off any software.

So its not only games.

Probably a major "conditions list"
Or I can just make a copy of some arb game on a blank DVD and go off and buy Assassin's Creed for 10% off...

Now where can I get a copy of Assassin's Creed? :p

It's a nice incentive to stop piracy :)

It is a good idea ya.

But on a R99 game, it's like R10... that's the price of a blank DVD :)

It's still R10 that you would have had to pay otherwise ;)

I'm keen on getting say, GRID, It's R399, so that means it'll be R40 off.

The petrol will probably cost R20 to get there, stick with the copy ;)

Not everyone needs or wants a car.
If you live in a nice flat (2million) in Sandton, and work in Sandton, why would you want a car?

Priorities...

In GRID, there is the wonderful "NO PETROL" problem :)

surely they will give you a original of the copy you bring in?

i'd stake out the incredible to check out if it is being staked out.

I'm sure they have high res cameras in store to take photos of the pirates :p

I saw this "offer" in the paper last night. My wife and I reached the same conclusions as quoted above.

In reality it can only be either a trap in co-operation with the BSA. No pirate worth his salt will dare risk it.

10% is also not alot... and maybe, if agreed to with software suppliers, they'll probably gladly drop the price in an effort to curb piracy.

lol so the honest guy who always buy original games has to pay full price, while the
pirate gets discount.

i wonder if they test the games...

....otherwise i would just write GRID and GTA4 on 2 clean dvds, and pretend that they are copies :D

*cough* that makes me sound cheap, doesn't it

Piracy will NEVER stop. I'm not interesting in getting 10% off. I want it all, and I want it free. Try and stop me ;)

LOL, and load it full of Pr0n so they give you 20% discount next time! :D

sounds suspicious. I think they've setup facial recognition camera's and wait for you to hand over the pirate goods. Sounds like the UK program big sting.

hold on..isn't this indirectly promoting piracy...

Why don't they just reduce software prices by 10% - the ' bring in a copied game ' is just silly.
