New(ish) UK budget releases (possibly)

I was in Brum today (ie Birmingham, England), and, while wandering
around HMV, ***, EB etc (and, at last, buying TOCA 2), came across
the following budget games:

Sports Car GT - UKP11
Grand Prix Legends - UKP10
Double Pack - Castrol Honda Superbike + Test Drive 4 - UKP6
Double Pack - Johnny Herbert's GP + Test Drive Off Road 2 - UKP6
NASCAR Racing 1 - UKP5
Ten-pack of racing games (CH Superbike, Johnny Herbert GP and eight
others - mostly incredibly ancient stuff like Speed Haste or "straight-
to-budget" games) - UKP11

I didn't even realise SCGT was out on budget (wonder if they've patched
*that*?)- how did I manage to miss the news???

I also found some decidedly ambitious pricing by some of the shops:

GPL - UKP25 (in the *same* shop as the budget version!)
Prost GP - UKP20 (would *anyone* buy this?)
GP Manager 2 - UKP20 (being sold for UKP10 down the road)
Screamer 2 - UKP18 (ditto)
CART Precision Racing - UKP30 (seriously)

So shop around, people!

It only came out last Friday on Budget - funny thing is that the budget
release is 12 in Glasgow, whereas you could buy the original release
for around 7 before that.
