    yeah, same in Drogheda, 5 and 10 euros.
    Not many titles for PS3, but I got The Syndicate, Dungeon Siege III for 5 euro each, and Goldeneye reloaded for a tenner.

    Oddly enough, this didn't show up in the client itself. While I'm here though I'd might as well point out that Mass Effect 3 is a fiver on Origin at the moment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,640 ✭✭✭Pushtrak


    Worked through the client for me. I searched the game specifically rather than a page with the deal.

    Tesco seem to be doing another clearence sale on Wii, DS and 3DS games. Was in my local (bettystown) and they had a big bin filled with games going from 3-10 euro.


    Notable titles include - Metroid: Other M, Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart Wii going for 10. One of the Animal Crossing games were going for 5 aswell.

    The rest was all shovelware games that I can't remember. And unfortunately none of the games going were on gamestop's trade 2 for a 9.99 new release deal.

    Might be worth having a look in your own tesco's you might have better luck than I with your bargains!

    4 Free games by Black Shell
    To honor SanctuaryRPG's official release, all games are 100% off for this weekend only!

    http://itch.io/s/202/100-off-release-weekend-sale
    SanctuaryRPG is a critically acclaimed strategic turn-based monster slaying and dungeon crawling adventure set in the retro ASCII-art world of Sanctuary. The game is FREE to download and play to your heart's content. Drawing inspiration from Japanese RPGs and Roguelikes, we have poured over 10,000 hours of meticulous work into this game. Every aspect is designed to offer a compelling and replayable gameplay experience. With dynamic combat, hilarious dialogue, and plenty of weapons at your disposal, this is truly one of the most ambitious ASCII-art RPGs of 2014.

    Ayrton is a turn-based ASCII racing simulator designed to test both your patience and your skills. We developed Ayrton for a game jam, and decided to add a couple features before releasing it out to the public! It is definitely a rage-inducing game, but once you get the hang of it, you might just enjoy yourself!!

    Silent Vac is a stealth-action roguelike currently in Early Access Alpha. This game has been in production for over half a year, but we're finally putting it out there for you guys to enjoy! If you buy an alpha copy of this game, you get it for cheaper than its full price! Plus, every purchase gets us one step closer to having a solid, polished game for you to play.

    Blue Whale Save A game about following orders. You must save the whales. Blue Whale Save was developed for a game jam, purpose is now being fully released! It seems like a simple game, but once you break it down it's far from that. Save 500 whales and you will discover a chilling truth.

    It's the xbox one titanfall bundle for 422 euro but it's cheaper than the xbox on its own is this because it doesn't have a disc drive or does it have one and it's on sale?

    Of course it has a disk drive. All Xbox ones have.
    Titanfall is prob gotten via a redeemable code then downloaded, not given on a disk.

    Not sure what your trying to say at the end, is what on sale?

    For PC it's €23 here: https://www.g2a.com/south-park-the-stick-of-truth-cd-key.html

    That's where I got it. I don't think it's a sale, it's just a decent price.

    For anyone interested Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines is going cheap on both Steam (€5) and Amazon.com ($5) at the moment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,839 ✭✭✭balkieb2002


    Not sure how often it can be used but just got emailed a 20% Off Code for Green Man Gaming as part of the Dark Souls 2 promo.

    OFU76E-1C6RHK-OX6OMC [sorry not sure if O or 0]

    Apparently can be used on anything over $10 - Expires on Friday 25th

    Got the exact same code so I presume it can be used by anyone any number of times.

    It's a fantastic game, it's been yonks since I played it last and I completed it without any of the unofficial patches which have apparently helped the game al ot so bought a copy last night and will download the unofficial patch to replay it again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,556 ✭✭✭✭Skerries


    I needed the unofficial patch in order to get it working


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,031 ✭✭✭Cravez


    I think it was a mixed bag of issues that people experienced, there was a certain point in the game that was bugged for me (years ago), a boss battle I think. I had to keep retrying but I eventually got passed it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,923 ✭✭✭kearneybobs


    Bought Timeshift from Amazon for $5. Registers with Steam. Always wanted to play it when it came out and got above average reviews. Cant really go wrong for that price.
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I2UDVSI

    A couple of others there for the same price.

    I'd recommend singularity too, enjoyed both quite a bit and they share similar elements, although singularity is also quite bioshock-y.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,923 ✭✭✭kearneybobs


    Couldn't recommend Singularity enough. Loved that game that went almost completely under the radar since Activision refused to give it the platform it deserved.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 697 ✭✭✭Saruwatari


    Tesco Maynooth have a games clearance at the moment with titles for €10 and €5, including Darksiders, Duke Nukem: Forever, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Vanquish, Alpha Protocol, Bayonetta, Red Faction, Bioshock 2 and others.

    Might be a store-wide thing but it's defo in Maynooth anyway. Hopefully they'll be changing up the games on offer, they seriously need to mark down some of their old crap or it'll be there forever. Nobody's gonna buy bloody Football Manager 2009 for the PSP at its original RRP!

    Is ARMA 3 cheap anywhere?

    €29.99 for the digital deluxe edition on GreanManGaming is the only thing I can see at the moment. Use the code OFU76E-1C6RHK-OX6OMC to bring that price down to €23.99.

    The code is only valid until the 25th, and I'm not 100% sure if it can be used on an item already on sale.

    Never even noticed it was out of stock. As for that site as soon as you check "Region Free" the price jumps to €36.45 and as far as I'm aware activating a russian region product on steam using a vpn is just asking for trouble.

    I bought South Park using a VPN and it works but booting up the game I either have to use the VPN again or re-click many times before it allows me in. The annoyance is enough to put me off ever buying a game via VPN again.
