New Ratchet and clank released yesterday

ow2h7nft1me9i4

As of yesterday, Smyths have apparently started selling the new ratchet and clank on the ps3. I havent seen it in the shop but its on there website as available and "in stock". I thought the release date was the 9th of november????Amazon and other sites still havent started shipping it, do you think its a mistake or what??. Im going over later to get it with my "garauntee availability" thing, so if they dont have it they give you a 10euro voucher.

Mine hasnt shipped from play yet:mad: I was under the impression it was the 9th as well. They have shipped HSM Singstar yesterday mind and that had the 9th as a release date as well.

LookingFor

It's not supposed to start selling until Friday, I don't think. Sometimes websites show things earlier though..like Game's website usually shows games as shipping on Thursday.

Mine came on import last week, very enjoyable

It's a lot of fun.

Looks good, sound is good, storyline is funny and the graphics are impressive.

PS3 is still a waste of money though

Just checked Play and its in packing. Could get it Friday yet

Well I didnt import because I cant open my ps3 till christmas so Im in no huge rush. Altho, I can look at the box "hidden" under the stairs.And yep, they have it in stock in Smyths, for 69.99. I got it for 63 or 64 odd with the loyalty card.(I got it just incase theres a huge rush on it b4 xmas, being over-cautios I know!)

They won't ship PS3 games/peripherals to EU countries.

Probably because lik-sang got shut down by sony for doing exactly that

LookingFor

There's no need to use play-asia or other asian sites...videogamesplus.ca is where I got mine - about 50 euro (took about a week).

Got mine from VG+ last week, they're really quick

Zapp Brannigan

Vgplus are always quick and great to deal with.

It's not on sale in the Smyth's in Cork anyway. Well the one by the Kinsale Road roundabout didn't have it today.

Did you have to pay any Customs VAT + Duty on that? Also is shipping free from moivetyme.com and what's delivery time like?

I've bought a few bit and bobs from them and have never been hit for custsoms/vat (I also never buy more than one item at a time either). Delivery is free to UK/Ireland. They have shops in US and UK but I think the games come direct from the US, 2 weeks was the wait for R&C.

About the same for 360 games to come from play-asia, plus R&C was out in the US a week before europe.

Isn't the game just more of the same, Ratchet and Clank in Hd? I mean, does it offer anything new?
Is it worth trading in Heavenly Sword for?

I got caught for 30 euro from customs with GH III but that was no doubt due to the box being massive. It was my dry run for when Rock Band gets shipped to me at the end of the month. I'm so screwed when that goes through! Lol!

How much was shipping on GH3?

And how much will it be for Rock Band??

GH was from a ebayer, was 50 dollars I think, I can't remember exactly how much shipping was for Rock Band, I lost the confirmation email, but I think it was around the 80 mark. Which isn't too bad. I figure if it comes out costing more than it would here it's a price I'd gladly pay for having the game a few months early. Break it down to how much it would cost me a day to play it (which I will be doing, constantly for the next few months) it works out pretty good!

EDIT, just found the email there, they're charging me 40 dollars for shipping Rock Band. I think because they usually do free shipping, so either that or the ebayer ripped me off or they've seriously underestimated how much it will cost!

Very enjoyable, best 3D platformer I've played since, well, anything...

It doesn't do anything amazing though, it's just a standard combat heavy platformer that is extremely super polished in every area, not that there's anything wrong with that.

I expect Mario Galaxy to be more interesting though simply because it does a lot of new things.

finally got around to playing this, cracking game.
