I think the Games are the best. There's PS3 Games for a third their normal price. Rainbow Six Vegas is €27.99 and in Smith's (and most other places in Dublin) it's €70

Some of the Cameras are excellent too but they won't ship them to my Dublin address for some reason.

I found this Fuji FinePix Z10FD 7.0 Megapixel Digital Camera the best and with a 1GB memory card and Case its the same price as the unit is in Dublin.

If anybody finds a way to get them to ship it to Dublin post here will ya, cheers.

Yep, a lot of similar complaints over at the HotUKDeals forum.

Are Play taking a leaf outta CDWOW's book with regards to sales?

This sucks. Maybe they'll have something better in the new year. I'm sick of all these fake sales. Last year was so much better for cheap dvds, vouchers, etc.

They won't ship that to Ireland though. They don't ship electronics or mobiles to Ireland.
