    Where is it? Preferrably in Dublin.

    I don't know if it's ok to post it here but I am looking to buy 1-3 official wireless controllers for xbox360 and the PES6. PM me with price please if interested.

    I remember there was a board to deal with buying/selling used consoles, ect but can't seem to find it. anyone know where it is located under?

    thank you,
    in IRL

    If you are selling then try adverts.ie.

    Sorry to be off topic but just noticed Alan wake on videogamesplus.ca is shipping 1st of January, being a 360 noob, actually havent even played my own console yet:) Isnt this supposed to be a big game? thought it was delayed?

    sorry for hijacking the thread. I was browsing play asia and I noticed they are cheaper than most online for controllers and games. I take it 360 peripherals are universal? Should I expect to get stung by customs if I order from play asia?

    Thanks

    If only someone could use a search :rolleyes: there is region free games which are the only ones that will work here. Periperhals are universal and will work on your European console

    thanks kensutz

    but be warned that with the peripherals you will probably need more then standard shipping and also at that then will attract customs so you might not save anything at all. it could end up costing more

    Saw on another thread that Argos sell all their 360 games new at €54.

    Last i remember, Argos don't carry all 360 games though.


    Xtra Vision and HMV are pretty cheap these days. Smyths usually match their prices.


    Unless you enjoy paying over the odds, avoid Game.

    xtravision are cheap for preowned games, got pdz 0, for 14euro.Game always have good deals at thier xmas sale.

    Game always seem to have one title at a more reasonable price each week, can still be bought for cheaper from elsewhere online of course usually if it region free though.

    Harvey Norman.... Can't believe more people aren't mentioning them. It's rare that i've seen them beaten for price. Have a great selection too. An example: Viva Pinata is 51 notes... a good 14 cheaper than most high street stores.

    I bought a wireless headset from Xtravision (in Drogheda) 2 weeks ago and it only cost €19.99! Everywhere else is €49.99. I asked the girl if she was for real...she said yeah so I snapped it up. Don't know if it was an error on their part but I am €30 squids up =8) Perhaps all their accessories are cheaper?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,589 ✭✭✭Hail 2 Da Chimp


    That was a pricing mistake in their magazine so they have to sell them for that price.

    Does anyone know if Tesco have stopped selling 360 games as their selection is crap-ola!

    id suggest ebay its great for acessories , picked up a xbox vga cable for 99c :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,225 ✭✭✭Scruff


    smyths seem to have the accessories at a decent price. Game seem to be a rip off


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 422 ✭✭Popeleo


    If you want to take a chance with customs, play.com have a sale on:

    Argos sell new games for €53.

    Also selling two old games for €44

    Some games still at €59

    god i advertise them way too much =D

    Just thought id mention it cause not alot of people consider argos for gaming and its only when i started working there that i realised the savings, added onto my discount new games are only 45 for me =)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,732 ✭✭✭Reganio 2


    So what place is the cheapest in Dublin (preferably town) to get an xbox 360 controller wired or wireless.

    Actually while I am here how many wired controllers and how many wireless controllers can the console hold e.g 2 wired and 2 wireless.
    Cheers.
