El33tonline's Special Price Offers and Savings for South African Gamers in Holiday 2011
Written by Bryan on Saturday 10 Dec 2011
There’s such a thing in the gaming world as a ‘bargain bin’ and for those out there not too proud to be willing to humble oneself and dig elbow-deep into the bin and rummage about, there are some truly wonderful gems to behold. And as with all bargains, remember this - the more you spend, the more you save!
Here at El33tonline we’ve done a good share of the hunting for you but please don’t let that stop you from doing a bit of the seasonal bargain hunting yourself! As with all the bargains listed below, it can sometimes pay (ahem) to shop around - but even at these prices, they’re still a steal! I’ve used Takealot as the starting point and I’ve managed to get a general idea of what bargains are out there.
Keep your eyes on TakeALot, BT Games, Kalahari and Steam for the main specials, but here are a few selected highlights:
Xbox 360 Special Price Offers:
Xbox 360 Live 12 Month Gold Card
50% Off Special Offer gets you into the online gaming community on Xbox for just over R20 a month - that’s cheaper than a discounted movie!
