    They haven't officially opened their doors yet but from what i could see through the shutters this morning they have a large second hand games section.
    They also seem to be selling second hand phones and console peripherals.
    They don't have the sign painted yet so don't know what it's called.

    There's one up in Newry, pretty low on stock at the start but some nice bargains.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,135 ✭✭✭✭John


    There's one in Derry. It's great if you want to buy a dozen beat up copies of the same few releases that everyone has already.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,410 ✭✭✭oceanclub


    Did it open yet?

    P.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,116 ✭✭✭starviewadams


    Not sure if it's open yet but it's definitely cex,mate got a job there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,307 ✭✭✭weiland79


    still wasn't open this evening as i left work


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,586 ✭✭✭Healium


    They're opening this week :) (No date)


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,307 ✭✭✭weiland79


    They are putting the sign up at the moment and to my juvenile mind it is quite amusing,it says

    Entertainment CEX EXCHANGE.

    cough! leaves through the back door.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,586 ✭✭✭Healium


    I just went in for a look. Think it possibly only opened today, as there's a Luigi, everyone is getting stickers + flyers, and there's a dozen staff behind the counter :pac:

    I didn't think it was overly cheap for Xbox 360 games; I actually thought some of them were a bit expensive. But, they have a great PS2/Xbox section, which is great for me because I picked up an original Xbox two weeks ago :D Picked up Burnout 3 for €4, and resisted buying Half Life 2 and NFS: Underground. Need my money for Record Store Day tomorrow :rolleyes:

    It's a nice, spacious, tidy store. Everything is laid out great, and it's actually nice to browse, whereas you're usually quite cramped in a Gamestop store. The upstairs seems to be dedicated to DVDs, but I didn't go up.

    Also a section for gadgets, phones, iPods etc.

    Might go back for a proper look. I was going to take pics, but the place was full of people.

    Also, maybe a mod should change the thread title to add in CEX :D

    I wonder is all the good stuff going to be gone by 5 o clock ....I was hoping to pick up a cheap ipod. I saw some good deals on the window yesterday

  • Registered Users Posts: 12,270 ✭✭✭✭Skerries


    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! don't sell them there, sell them to us

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,410 ✭✭✭oceanclub

    P.

    Would love to know that too. Need more options as to where I can get my physical disc PC games on the cheap. Gamestop, HMV and Game just dont cut it really. I suppose, who can blame them but this addition would be nice if they do.

    Yep. Definitely not as big as any of the other sections, but it's there!

    I might regret this, but I'm sitting in my hostel with feck all to do. I'll head back down later this evening. If anyone wants to know how much something is, post it here, and I'll do my best to find out :D

    I'm not going to go find out what trade-in prices are, just whatever price is on stuff :) Or if you want to know if they have a certain game for an older console, fire away


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭zero19


    I wonder will they be opening more stores around the country or even have a website set up for online orders


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,270 ✭✭✭✭Skerries


    find out do they do 2nd hand pc games like in GB

    They will be setting up an Irish website, and from that franchise website, it looks like whoever set up the Dublin store is expected to open 3 or so more stores
