    So HMV are done. Annoyingly still have 90 euro store credit but that's another story.

    HMV was consistently the cheapest place to buy PS3 games. With every major realease they were atleast €5 cheaper than Gamestop and also gave much more in trade in value. Now there gone I don't want to have to shop in Gamestop plus with HMV and Game closed they have the majority of the market now.

    So my question is does anyone have any good place to shop for games, online or bricks & mortar. Cause I don't want to have to pay Gamestop prices.

    HMV are gone from Ireland and if they were still open, they wouldn't be accepting vouchers.

    B&M:
    Argos
    Tesco
    Smyths
    Xtravision

    Online: Depends on platform but loads of options, few of them below - easy enough to shop around for best price.

    amazon.co.uk
    ebay

    I see that now. I heard that vouchers are now accepted but they have closed the shops.

    Vouchers are being accepted in the UK stores, but the Irish stores are still closed.

    I've found praticularily good deals on these sites. Seriously, buy online unless you see a bargain or some trade-in/whatever deal in a store that you can abuse because the manager's didn't think it through.
