No price drop but seems though new box deals are coming out.

IIRC that deal has been available for a few weeks but retailers can only stock it if they go through GEM distribution as it is a bundle they put together. From what I know mainly indie retailers will stock them as the big chains buy their stock directly from microsoft.

Prelude to a "Classics" series perhaps?

I got a practically identical deal from Argos (few pence cheaper maybe) a couple of weeks ago

Google would have told you the answer, quicker than it took to post that

If I remember correctly (or recall correctly).

This is why acronym's are sometimes annoying on boards like this - as different regions / countries all have slightly or completely different meanings for the same acronym.

Anyway yeah it is too late in my opinion (quickly changed from imo

) to be pushing pgr3 ( more gloss than substance) but wouldnt be surprised if it arrived on "Classic" label or something very soon - is it just me or is it farrrrrr too soon to call anything on X360 a classic, no insult to the machine just meant in general in three years time or so all of the games now available may well pale into insignificance ...just a thought anyway
