    Maybe ppl who got their consoles can list the shop and price of all the specifics, just so we can see which shop is the best

    Ah right, cool, cheers for that.

    What time were people queueing in Rathmines from matrim do ya know?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,632 ✭✭✭✭okidoki987


    If I had bought one in Game for 279 and noticed another branch of the
    same shop was selling it for 269 (or 269.99 against 259.99)
    I'd be straight back over to the shop giving it socks.
    If that didn't get work, I'd ask for the managers name and then tell him
    "I'll be onto Joe Duffy about this so i just want to make sure I have your name correct!".
    Then see what they do. :mad:

    I got there about 6.30 and was 11th in the queue (I got the last one). Apparently 3 or 4 of the guys in the queue had been there from around 11pm yesterday night, but most others started to queue around 5 or 6.

    There is some major differences in the price there €320 the highest to €259 for the lowest.

    I would be very intrested to find out why they can change the rrp so much for the console?

    The one for €320 was with a game.

    On www.argos.ie it has the Wii for €250.

    Wii + numchuck + Call of duty = €345 Smyths Jervis st :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,488 ✭✭✭Goodshape


    Smyths, Javis Street..

    369.99 for console and two games. Had a deposit paid, so paid 344.99 on the day.

    You also get a couple of 5euro vouchers with that.

    Extra Nunchuck and Classic Controller are 25 each. No Wiimotes (or Wiiplay) in stock until next week.

    Games on their own are 60, so the 370 bundle really wouldn't be much of a deal at all if they weren't already over-charging for the console. 250 (console) + 120 (two games) = 370.

    Also, they don't want you buying it without at least one extra game (you could argue I suppose), but you are free to choose which games you want.

    I'd say the 259 is for just the console. The 320 would be a console and a game.
