    Is it for the next four days, as above? Or is it a opening day special?

    When are they opening, if they haven't already?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    11am tomarrow...gonna be late for work methinks...(dont tell monkeyfudge)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,839 ✭✭✭balkieb2002


    So is this for tommorow only or next 4 days?
    Does anyone know closing time of the store as i dont finish work till 5. Can't seem to see store on dunnes website.

    BlitzKrieg keep me informed of what stock is there!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,398 ✭✭✭Fingleberries


    This is an opening offer ... They're opening the new Homeware shop in Henry street and say that "Everything is Half Price" (while stocks last).

    They're making a big hoo-ha about it everywhere, like the cover of the Metro. It's for the next 4 days (Thurs-Sunday) only and the key words are probably 'while stocks last'

    anybody know if theyare bundles or what?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    and they were all gone within the first 10 minutes


    F*CK!


    the guy in front of me got the last one.

    Though sort of confused cause I thought it was limited to 1 item per person at half price...but they seemed to drop that cause i saw people walking away with 3-4 360s under their arms.


    *basterds*


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 165 ✭✭Stephen!


    lol you'll see them up on adverts now, xbox 360s, brand new, unopened -300E

    lol were they jsut the console or bundles?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    just the console premium edition.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 165 ✭✭Stephen!


    From play.com

    gears of war - 60E
    crackdown - 60E
    PGR 3 - 30E
    COD 3 - 30E
    Play and Charge Kit - 20E
    Which if my maths is right (probably isnt) adds up to 200E

    the xtravision offer is just as good value so!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    what is the xtravision offer?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 165 ✭✭Stephen!


    I thought it was Premium, GOW, COD3, Crackdown, PGR and the play and charge kit.

    thats what the poter in my local one said i thought :S

    EDIT: for 400yoyos


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,126 ✭✭✭xanthor


    For those of you wondering, there weren't any PS3 or Wiis, just the soon to be second best 360 premium.

    Games were GOW and Forza 2.


    The TVs appeared to go ever quicker than the 360s


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,850 ✭✭✭Fnz


    Are Xbox 360 Games/Peripherals half price? Will there be any left if I head in now?

    Cheers.

    He could mean because the Elite is on the way, making that the top end 360 model, and Premium second. I hope that's what he means, otherwise I've got a whole bag of roll-eyes waiting ;)

    Anything in the shop is half price. Only peripheral i saw in the chaos was the Play and Charge kit, there may be others but it was a small selection.

    Only two games were GOW and Forza 2.

    Already have one, wanted a laptop but wasn't quick enough, so I'll sell it and then use the money to put towards a laptop.

    BTW the lad who said there were people with 3/4 under their arms is talking donkey balls, they were strictly enforcing the 1 per person rule (now there were people who were getting others to buy a second one for them) but there was no one with 3/4!

    Nope, you're safe :)

    Shame they sold out so quickly, I was going to tell some people about this in work but by the time I remembered it was too late.

    Is that not profiteering and a banning offence?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,446 ✭✭✭bugler


    If it's not, it should be :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,398 ✭✭✭Fingleberries


    Are Dunnes going to restock overnight? If this is a 4-day half price event to highlight their store. At this rate, by Saturday the shop will be empty and looking fairly unimpressive.

    What with Lucy Kennedy being there and all, I'm sure they wouldn't want that now - would they?

    I was planning on selling my 360 next week to pay for some of my holiday. And the second i saw this thread I put mine straight on adverts. Id reckon theres gonna be alot of 360's for sale in the next week.

    Selling a 360 €100 under retail should be a bannable offence now? :rolleyes:

    Are you being serious ruggybear??
    As CiaranC did :rolleyes:

    I never knew you could sell new goods for under their retail price and be wrong. I'm happy selling it for a profit and I'm sure someone is happy getting it cheaper than retail off me. I queue'd for it so why not??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,204 ✭✭✭kensutz


    Well I'm offering what was "paid" for it

    the exact same words i used too lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,753 ✭✭✭qz


    So would all the 360's be gone at this stage do you reckon?

    I might phone ahead and get them to hold me one and pop in this evening. Or would they even do that? :confused:

    I know what I saw,

    I saw a lad with a stack of 360s going down the escalator, he clearly didnt work there (unless dunnes new uniform is a blue tracksuit) If they enforced the 1 for each person he must have worked around it or something, but he was walking out the door with three of them.

    Still here's hoping they have some more still in the back that will be put out tomarrow morning.

    I could've nabbed one easily - feel kinda bad that i was in a position to help someone with a genuine interest in OWNING one rather than selling it on, and didn't end up doing so. Queue was small enough until about 10:15, then it started growing more and more quickly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    I feel worse, I wasnt there to get one for myself but for a friend's 21st, we've been trying to pool our cash together to get him a 360 and when this came along it was the perfect opportunity to get him a new one instead of being forced to go 2nd hand.

    Fair enough, I'm not going to argue.
    BTW they said they were going to restock them for them morning, tv's, xbox's, but the guy I asked wasn't sure about the laptops :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    right then going to take another shot at it tomarrow

    I will get this fecking present if its the last thing i do.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,534 ✭✭✭Dman001


    How much were the laptops? What size TVs did they have and do you know the prices?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 623 ✭✭✭hawker27


    is this a nationwide offer in all dunnes stores? and what the make and model of the 42 tvs,are the hd ready?.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,050 ✭✭✭gazzer


    The offer was only in the new Dunnes in Henry St in Dublin. The tvs were 42" Phillips plasma ones.. Not sure about the make of Laptop as they were gone when I got there. Got a great gamer chair as well that will do me nicely for the X-Box 360 I also picked up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,063 ✭✭✭✭Kintarō Hattori


    Hmnn I didn't hear about this at all, was vaguely aware they were opening soon. What time does the store open at?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,839 ✭✭✭balkieb2002


    It opened 11 o clock this morning presume it opens at nine as today was big opening

    I got there bout 20 past and anything good was gone! Even though i saw people walking around with 2-3 xboxes in their hands (security stamped as well!)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 402 ✭✭JM MARCONI


    My brother just came home from work with a new 360 from Dunnes. He said he got the last one at about 11.05


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,070 ✭✭✭Placebo


    question 1: What time does the shop open
    question 2: How many xbox's do they stock, i dont wanna skip work if i dont get any.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    ok stopped in after work today and asked those 2 questions


    1. It opens tomarrow at 830am

    2. They said they might have might not have stock. They are pulling their stock in from surronding stores...and seeing that the 360 isnt like the wii and has consistent stock, i assume they will get more in.


    buuut, if they have gay burn as a guest tomarrow i am going to assume that they will want to refill all the shelves, so if they dont have 360s some fancy electronic device will be there...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,070 ✭✭✭Placebo


    damn, thanks alot.
    What floor is the 360 goods on.

    8:30 am ! jesus, what time will the queues start


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,233 ✭✭✭wba88


    Where is the closet place to park to it (which side of henry st is it??)
