Popped in to Asda to buy Forza 2 (first full lauch price title I've bought) for ?37.99 on Saturday night.
Took my box to the customer service desk to pick up the game which the lady put into the holder bit inside the case. She then put the instruction booklet in its section. No problems so far....
As I was walking to the car I thought I'd flip the disk over and check for scratches... no scratches so I'm a happy chappy. Sat in the gf's car and thought I'd have a quick flick through the booklet...
Amazingly another Forza 2 disk falls out the book. :D
I popped back in the following morning and told them I'd bought the game and not go the instructions which they gave me. Now I've got 2 copies of Forza for the price of 1 :thumb:
Decided to give one copy to my brother as I'm nice rather than just sell it on.

Thought I'd save my brother some money as I knew he wouldnt be able to resist Forza 2. Also works in my favour when I need a hand with my car. ;)
Matt, ready to have your ass kicked on forza later?

Euros are just wrong.
If this country ever adopted the Euro (which will never happen) I would be very very unhappy.

Its their fault for employing monkeys... infact monkeys could do a better job.
You should continue with your life guilt free child. :D
I got the whole prechristmas family shop & a 21" flatscreen tv from an asda for ?179. the girl managed to miss the scanner with the tv barcode. Like a mug, I said 'is that right?'. She said 'yes, just go to customer services to get the warranty validated', As If......
