Why is it so expensive? I went into game today to buy an old game and they were looking for 30 Euro...are they serious? is there a place where i can pick this up for 15 yo yo's?

Thats ridiculous isnt it? this is an oldgame. They have championship manager 3 for a tenner ffs.
Thanks for the link though...what a bargain.

There's a new Championship Manager released every year though. And now CM4 is out CM3 is almost obsolete.
GAME probably reckon that with HL2 coming out, the original might get a bit of demand with first time players wanting to see what all the hype is about. Also they are just rip off merchants.

ye suppose...

Wait a minute, that's a GAME uniform! You're not the Wallet inspector!

Half Life for PC has been €15 for ages. Are you sure it is not the four disc set with the blue cover that has all the extra add-ons that they are selling for €30???

If not, then GAME have really plunged to new depths...

UbahOne · 31-07-2003 11:09am

The four game box set was 45 euro. i thought that was a bit much too to be honest. Maybe the girl got mixed up or something cos she brought me over this one with a blue box and half life has an orange one...so maybe it was another part of it or something...stil a rip off.

Saw Half Life: Generations (including all the add-ons and CS) for 25 eurons in Game on Grafton st.

It's gas, they're having a sale and most of their stuff is still about 5 quid more than Smyths.

The Half Life bestseller edition is more like 15 or 20 euros (even in Game when I checked). Look in the budget games section.

UbahOne · 31-07-2003 12:36pm

I went to Game on Grafton Street and thats what she gave me. I assume she got it wrong...thick bitch though.

UbahOne · 31-07-2003 12:37pm

BTW: Wheres Smyths located?

NIBBS · 31-07-2003 12:39pm

I picked up a compilation called Total Elimination the other day in there -
Half Life
Return To Castle Wolfenstein
Red Faction
and Rogue Spear

all for the pricely sum of 12.50 yoyos, you really can't beat that........

UbahOne · 31-07-2003 12:42pm

That exact set in Game on Grafton Street is 45 euro. I **** you not. I saw it with my own eyes.

Where did you buy it?

NIBBS · 31-07-2003 12:47pm

UbahOne · 31-07-2003 1:10pm

In Dublin city centre it's near where the IMAX was, I think they’re also some where around Dublin and in Galway.

Dublin phone number - 01 8782878.

Just to let you know I picked up HL in GAME in belfast for 5 sterling (less than 10 yoyos i believe)

NIBBS · 01-08-2003 7:51am

UbahOne,
It was new and they still have a few copies of the compilation, at least they did yesterday afternoon.............and they are new....

went into the Game on Grafton Street, totally different shop, same company but like a different world for prices, and I've always found the shop on Dawson Street cheaper.......

Wolf, everything is cheaper in Belfast now, it's generally cheaper to ship anything into Ireland from abroad though, when it comes to discounted games though you still sometimes get a bargin here.......

UbahOne · 01-08-2003 11:02am

**** man, and Game are meant to be having a sale. Im gonna have to check out the Dawson Street one from now on. The whole of grafton street stinks like a giant ASS now anyway, especially outside Burger King...stinky.

Absolam · 01-08-2003 4:25pm

In Game in Henry St HL is €15, and the Generations pack is €30.....

UbahOne · 01-08-2003 4:43pm

maybe she gave me the second one then...i dont know. I asked for half life...
