    Ok i wouldnt buy games quite alot But OMG Tesco is just Brill. A few weeks ago i got some new game which cost 70.00Euro in Gamestop. But now it seems Tesco are doing the same for games as they are doing on CDs. Everyone knows CD Album are 13.00euro in tesco compared to 18-22euro in golden discs, HMV etc... I got Assassins Creed which cost 55 and Smackdown vs Raw for 50Euro... Just dont see why anyone would pay 5-20euro more for a game in HMV, Gamestop(especially) Game etc.. M Rant Is Over :D:D:D GO TESCOS!!lol

    The one near me only seem to have a shelf full of Halo 3 though, they never seem to get anything else in.

    Yeah the one in Clairhall (Dublin) is fairly cool for cheap games and Tesco in general seem to every now and again, put games out a couple of days before release, which makes me feel special when I get them :D

    they have a pretty awful selection, and i will to an extent support game retailers i'd rather give a game shop the extra tenner.

    I got COD 4 for 60 in Tesco, Castlebar. Not too bad really, great game.

    They do it on new releases which is good enough.

    they also sell games like oblivion and condemned at extortionate prices

    Argos sells all new 360 games at 55.99, and ps3 games at 65.99

    i think youll find miles ahead of hmv/gamestop and the same as tesco

    argos in the uk are having a massive market war with tesco to become number one retailer, and thats spilling over into ireland.

    So really these two are the best for prices, and both usually have the same prices

    Tesco in Paul Street, Cork sells Oblivion for the 360 for a shocking 70 euro.
    You can buy that on play.com for 25.

    I got COD4 for 57 euro in HMV, Assasins Creed for 55 euro in Harvey Normans....people just don't shop around, that is why the likes of gamestop, game etc are still able to operate....70 - 75 euro for a 360 game is a joke.....

    They will sell the newest best games are almost cost as loss leaders. It also has the benefit of getting people chatting about how great and cheap Tesco is, which is exactly what they wany
