    Anyone know the best place online to get irish/Uk (PAL) wii games cheaply. I'm sure they're availabl cheaper than the €60 you pay in gamestop etc.?

    Got (finally) a Wii with wii sports on launch dayafter been on the preorder list and thinking of expanding my collection

    i'd be interested to know your experiences...

    seems online price is still going to be €55-56

    Whereas if you go to smyths with a loyalty card you get 10% off, so a 60 euro wii game costs €54

    CDWOW were selling Wii game sfor 51 EUR incl. P&P but all the Wii games have recently disappeared from the Irish site - i think their allocation for Ireland was completely sold out!

    I saw that, good deal, do you need to pay to get a loyalty card or is it free or do you get it after you buy your first game in there?

    You get it when you buy a console, otherwise I think you have to pay for it. They used to be free.

    It's 10% off during the first week (after the game's release).

    I saw some games relatively cheap on Ebay. A copy of Call of Duty 3 for example, was selling at around 36 euro. It might be worth checking out.

    Cheeky feckers. I got mine free ages ago - didnt realise they were charging for it now.

    I think I might have a spare one as they gave me the loyalty card when I picked up my wii as it was included in the bundle (if I havent binned it :o )

    I'll have a look out shortly and post if I can find it... then if anyone wants it I'll let them have it free.

    It's when you add the usually completely off the wall postage costs that ye get jipped.

    Well I reckon I've found a site to beat anything thats been posted. Called BlahDVD and you get any Wii game they have delivered to Ireland for €51 euro. Not bad, you say? Well i found it through this site:

    http://www.wii.ie

    (Btw: they have an interesting Wii tracker thing on there as well)
    Heres the good bit though - sign up for their "Newsletter" (just give them a hotmail address or something) and you get a five pound sterling discount on your first purchase - i.e round €7. My copy of Red Steel arrived yesterday and I only paid €44 so its a pretty good deal. Anyone know any other sites where their selling Wii stuff cheap?

    Just to let you folks know, red steel is completely awesome!!
