YMMV, but I’ve just been down to the local Morrisons and can vouch that this is indeed true, even though my haul was somewhat dulled by the fact that most of the games had already gone. There wasn’t much left, but I did grab a couple of games.
For what it’s worth (if you’ve got one with a late night opening it’s worth a shot) Morrisons across England and Scotland (at least) are shifting loads of games that were in their already great £5 and £7 sales for just 98p.
There’s a full list here on HotUKDeals, but look out for Assassin’s Creed 2, Killzone 3, MotorStorm Apocalypse, Crysis 2, Bulletstorm, SOCOM, LEGO Pirates, Beatles Rockband, Red Dead Redemption, ModNation Racers, the first LEGO Harry Potter, Super Street Fighter IV, BioShock 2, Medal of Honor, FIFA 11, DJ Hero 2 and Fallout New Vegas amongst lots of others.
Look out for a sticker over the barcode on the back that says either JAN SALE £5 GAMES or JAN SALE £7 GAMES, chance your luck if a game has this even if it doesn’t have a 98p sticker on. Some are also suggesting that more games will be discounted in the coming days, although obviously I can’t guarantee that.
Like I said, it’s going to depend on the size of the store and whether or not everything’s already gone (in some cases, apparently, by the branch staff first thing this morning). You could maybe call ahead and see?

I’d have to get a bus, probably, and I’m not sure if there will actually be any games left tomorrow… not sure if it’s worth checking my local.

Been to to my local (Brampton, Barnsley) store and Yes, they are reduced, but not by much….most games that were over ten quid such as red dead, rage and deus ex are now reduced to £10 and LA Noire reduced to £20….there’s loads of reductions, but nothing below the £7 mark. My local store must not be part of the 98p pricing cuts :(

Same here. I got excited and got a lift down and there was sod all. I bought a mcdonalds breakfast instead!

Damm, i’m won’t be going past morrisons untill tommorrow on my way to work(Vol). Knowing my crappy luck, my local one won’t be doing it. :(
How are they getting away with this without the publisher tearing them a new one? O-o

I’ll be checking after work and report back. Not a big games section in my local morrisons though.

My local Morrisons had a few reduced games but nothing as cheap as 98p.
