Were you even asked to get it up yourself? Not sure what your other game was, but Sleeping dogs has just gone into the sale mint and pre-owned, so as a result has a lower trade in price which would explain why it was so low. From that price though it sounds as if he didn't even bother to offer you the 33% extra if you got something digital.

Didn't mention any other offers either, although 33% compared to the almost 100% HMV offered me above Game's prices wouldn't have cut it anyway. I'm not sure how any store that's been through what game has can allow staff to basically send staff to a competitor. As it was, there was nothing in CEX that I wanted, not that I hung around in there any longer than I needed to - the Newcastle store is the smallest and grottiest branch of CEX I've ever had the misfortune to visit - but if there had been then I'd have bought it from them rather than go back to Game anyway (if HMV hadn't have been an option).
