Sainsburys - 20% off games
This applies to CD's, DVD's and games including the 360 games... or the little amount they have.
So great, go in and get a copy of Test Drive Unlimited for £31, bargain! But wait, get home, slap it in the CD drive... then I get a CD read error, "this disc is unrecognisable" a little clean required which revealed a large scratch, on a new disc?!?! after a clean it worked, but then decided to give me the error again!!!
Back to the shop I go, pick up another copy only to find all copies are scratched
Found one that wasn't too bad and tried that, but got the same bloody error...
Back to the shop it goes tomorrow!
These places obviously don't know how to store a disc safely without scratching it do they!! At least with Tesco they are kept in there cases so no damage is done.
Moral of the story is, dont buy from Sainsbury's!!

Asda are the same, keep the discs in card/plastic sleeves that scratch the hell of of them. Never leave the shop without a thorough inspection now !

A friend picked up Dead Rising from Sainsburys today and that was fine, they say they DONT scratch the discs, they come like it! 
Anyway, picked up TDU from Tesco for £39... may take the Sainsbury copy back to tesco with the tesco receipt to get my £40 back next... oops, I didnt just say that did I?!?!
