Advice to European gamers: how to save 40 euros when you buy videogames!

I know many of my readers are American, and maybe if you are this tip won't work for you, but I'm not sure, so maybe it will! Anyway, what I'm going to tell you, especially European people like me who like to buy videogames, is a very simple but useful "advice" that will save you a lot of money.
The standard PS3 videogame price in Europe, if you buy it in a videogame store like most people do (and I used to) is about 70 euros. That can be considered quite expensive. Now, let's check, for example, www.gameseek.net, an online videogame store from the United Kingdom.
In Spain, for example, in a Spanish online videogame store (or, in the example I used, "El Corte Inglés"), the recently released Final Fantasy XIII will cost practically 70 euros, as you may see by this image I print-screened from there:

As you can see, in most European stores the game will cost 70 euros. Now let's check out that site I mentioned before, Gameseek, and check the price for the same game... As you can see, the price is £38, approximately, either for the PS3 or the Xbox 360.

Now let's type "38 pounds to euros" in Google, to make the convertion from pounds to euros. The result is...

This means a difference of 70-42=28 euros, which means you will save 28 euros, a really huge difference, as you can see. Of course, you have to add the mailing costs to that, but still the difference will be around 20 euros per game.

If you're the kind of person that likes to buy more than one game at a time, the savings will be even bigger. By saving 20 euros per game, you'll be saving 40 per pair, 60 per trio, etc... It's a really big difference!

I must admit I haven't tried any other stores besides Gameseek, so that's the only store I can assure you can trust in, but most online UK videogame stores have the same prices as Gameseek, and they should be trustable as well. To pay for the games, you will have to use a credit card, but if you don't have one, or are too young, you could just speak with your parents, explain them how this works and you could just give them the money and buy the games with their card. Still, if you use PayPal and such, there are lots of other payment methods, including debit cards. The games usually take about a week to arrive, by standard mail, and my games have always arrived in prime condition.

I wish Gameseek even paid me for this, but they really don't, I'm just telling you what I've started doing a year ago because it really makes a difference! Also, if you really want to find the lowest price on the market for any game, you can use http://www.best-game-price.co.uk/ to search for the game you're looking for and compare prices in lots of different stores!

If you use the site I mentioned to search for Final Fantasy XIII for the PS3, for example, you'll see you can find it at £34.90, an even cheaper price than Gameseek's!

This might also work for American people, but I don't know because probably in another continent the mailing costs will be bigger and games in America might not be as expensive as in here (I just read they usually cost 60 dollars in the USA, which is ridiculously cheaper than in Europe...).

And that's it for my advice, I'll try to post some of these neat things I find out every now and then so you can save some money and have a happier life!

Where can I re-watch the whole Pacquiao VS Clottey fight?


If you missed the Pacquiao VS Clottey fight for whatever reason and you're trying to watch it or the highlights and you can't find them anywhere, here's where you can watch every single round in good quality:

And that's it, I would also be very thankful if you could read my post-fight analysis I posted before this!

Pacquiao defeats Clottey by a wide unanimous decision

I've just watched the fight so here's my post-fight analysis:

Manny Pacquiao has once again proven himself as worthy of being considered an all-time great after completely outpunching Joshua Clottey in a very one-sided fight at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium.
From the first round onwards, because it's not wrong to say every one of the twelve rounds in this welterweight fight had the same story, Pacman made use of his tremendous speed and workrate to force Clottey in his thick, unpenetrable defensive shell, while the Gahanian barely threw any punches, focusing more on his own survival.
While Clottey kept his head very well protected with one of the best guards in modern boxing, Pacquiao just kept punching too much from every angle, giving his opponent too few opportunities to attack, which resulted in practically every round being given to the Pride of the Phillipines. Pacquiao's workrate was just unstoppable, and the defending champion never seemed to get tired despite some rare punches to the body.
Still, merit must be given to Joshua Clottey for surviving the onslaught from such an admirable opponent, as his head barely suffered any punches, and the powerful body punches landed from Pacquiao weren't enough to break his guard. Also, in the last rounds, Clottey was still able to land some good punches, specially his powerful left uppercut, that worked very well between the arms of his opponent.
Inevitably, a unanimous decision ended up being awarded to Pacquiao, after dominating every round over a resilient Clottey, who despite a very low workrate did enough to stay on the fight and provided an excellent defensive display, keeping his honor intact.

After watching this fight, there are two points I would like to mention. The first one being: even though Clottey is not a top-class welterweight, I doubt he will ever be knocked out, because his block strenght his just amazing.
In second place: if the highly anticipated Mayweather VS Pacquiao fight happens later this year, I will be very curious to see how the undefeated American will be able to cope against Pacquiao's high workrate, not being a big volume puncher himself. At first my opinion about this possible match-up was that Mayweather would eventually win on points, but after watching this fight, and how relentless Pacquiao is, maybe I'll give an edge to the Filipino. Let's just hope Mayweather beats Mosley on May 1st and the two fighters get over their drug testing issues so this great fight can happen.

Finally, I would like to say how amazed I am by the huge number of visits I got today, probably for telling you where you could watch the fight with no complications. I had more than 1500 visits in 6 hours, and this blog is not even a week old yet! So many thanks to all those who visited and I hope you will visit a lot more times in the future because I will be doing this for all the meaningful fights coming up this year!

Of course, this blog isn't just about boxing, it's about lots of things that I like, so you can expect anything in the upcoming posts. But I promise I'll try to make them all interesting and fun. So stay tuned and bookmark this blog if you still haven't, because one day the Legendary Blog will be The Greatest of All Time!
