Is the sale only today(sunday) or is it while stocks last?

Well I was out there abouts half 3 and saw nothing of the sort even seen one of two of the games up on your list and they wherent that price, id have picked them up if they where. Maby they sold out of the ones on sale and there where others at full price or something.

Jammer

Alot of the time, the merchandisers may not be able to get around to everything. Best thing to do is bring it up and ask. They're phasing out all the non-recent xbox titles.

Its while stocks last.

Exactly what Jammer said. PC World's prices are often wrong. The staff in the store may not even know about the price change unless their manager told them, which he may not have had time to do or may not have even checked for the correspondance. Bring the product up to the cash desk and get them to scan it. The prices have been implemented on their system, which means they'll be in any store in Ireland.

Stores like the one you went to are actually the best to go to. If the prices haven't been implemented on the floor, you could pick up some real bargains. I'd get back there asap if I was you.

Some people were even buying Xbox games that didn't have an Xbox. Just to bring the games over to Game or Xtravision and trade them in.

ehh, no its not

Lemlin

Aw right, sorry so. Thought it was. Not too familiar with that area of Dublin.

dubal

sure they are just off the same road:D

gaui3d0pnbz86o

only 15 miles apart on the m50, about 20 mins drive(allowing for bad traffic)

as jammer said, the games are that price IN ALL THE PC WORLDS, as its on the stock file for that, it may well just be priced wrong on the box as it was never repriced for the now correct price.

not much left in liffey valley, they had about 75-100 games in total for that price range, now about 20-25

Godamnit - how come I only noticed this thread now

Looks like Currys and Dixons have some of these titles at the discounted prices (whether marked as such or not)

Went into PC World Galway to pick up a Soul Calibure 2 for €2. They had them and at the price but when they went to get the CD they had none and there were 3 cases on the shelf :mad: It felt werid going up for a €2 refund

The other titles were there but none of them are marked down on the shelf but on the till it is. Didn't want them so took my €2 and left.

They all would. The discount went down on the system for all stores.

okidoki987

Dixons, Currys and PC World are all owned by the same company.

Lemlin

Or, to be correct, Dixons own Currys and PC World. They're all part of DSG, Dixons Group.

okidoki987

Stand corrected :cool:
