    I cant believe it!! I just got one in GameStop in Santry. Been ringing around all week. Very nice people. They seemed to have a few and no queues.

    Thanks for that; have someone travelling to Gamestop Santry now to pick one up (I'm in town and don't even have the cash on me to go to Henry St), fingers crossed there'll still be a few left when she gets there....

    Gamestop don't force bundles, sure they don't?

    No bundles, and they give you a flier with €100 of vouchers on it. You are supposed to get a free sub to Games Informer magazine for 3 months, but no sign of it in the box. Not to worry. Now I something to play all my Christmas pressies on!

    I'd give them a ring b4 heading out there if I was you to save a possibly wasted journey.. I picked mine up at 2 and they might be all gone by now.

    I had resigned myself to not getting one b4 Christmas, so I'm happy

    Nice one; will head around with my Christmas cash and vouchers so (assuming I get one).

    I did indeed ring and they were nice enough to put one aside for me, but he could only hold it for like 20-30 minutes... hopefully the traffic wasn't that bad so the person getting for it got there in time... they probably won't tell me and I'll only know on Christmas morning if they were successful or not though!!

    Just rang henry street...said they were all gone...must not be letting people reserve them :-(

    I walked by liffey street about 15mins ago, they had big card board boxes stuck outside with Wii on it and saying they were on sale, so they must have some left other wise they would have taken the signs down.

    I wouldn't be so sure. Gamestop have those outside the shop in Douglas court and when you go to the counter to ask they were saying February or March if you were lucky!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 372 ✭✭crazy_dude6662


    rang gamestop santry, at about half one and was told they were only giving out preorders.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,698 Mod ✭✭✭✭Silverfish


    Rang Henry street and they said none til the new year.

    None left in Liffey street either, so put the car keys down and finish your coffee.

    it's good to play Santa, makes one feel all warm and gooey inside, like a Galaxy caramel that's been left in your pocket while you forgot about it on a school trip, then when you twigged it was there it sticks to the wrapper and is well, all warm and gooey!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,566 ✭✭✭GrumPy
