Default Incredible Connection - Getting better?

Is it just me or is IC changing to become more competitive in the gaming market?

Twice (FIFA10 and Tekken 6) now I have bought games on release day at reasonable prices when all the other standard retailers didn't have them.

Is it possible that the guy they hired to change their gaming strategy is actually making an impact. I'd like to think so. That can only mean better deals for us in the future. Hell every so now and then they have these sales where we go "that's not a bad price for that game".

Yeah I noticed that aswell!

All of a sudden they have new releases and the pricing has started to get competitive.

I won't get too comfortable with them till they show consistency.

As far as the rest of their offerings go, I'm not too concerned cause I still think they're over-priced. I'm mainly interested in gaming side of things.

I agree though. They need to be consistent if they're gonna increase their market share. If they continue with their current progress, I will support them.

After searching for weeks to find the best deal on a PS3 slim I finally bought a bundle from IC for R4899, Slim + 250GB + Extra controller + 2 games, best deal I could find.

I think they might be improving!

That's a pretty good deal.

The extra control alone will set you back R750 at least.

Also, any game is worth it if you don't have any games to start off with. Even if it's old or sheet, something is better than nothing.

They had an opening special at a store with the PS3 slim 120gig going for R2999. I think the special ends this weekend.

To all the guys that want a slim go to IC at the Glen Shopping Mall.
