GTA IV - 39.99 in Tesco Gorey

White Widow

Just back this minute from Tesco in Gorey, Scanned in at 59.95, with -20.00 euro 'Promo' offer, couldn't believe it at that price so i bought 2! surely i'll get more on trade in or sell it to someone.

By the way they only had it for the 360, no ps3 versions came in, and neitheir tesco in wexford town or newross got any copies in.
Not sure if all Tescos have it at this price but I thought it would be worth the post. They had a whole cardboard stands worth minus about 5 copies as of 2:30 am if anyone is desperate off to play it now, enjoy!

Wow.

Nice find.

orestes

Damn! That's a crazy price!

My local Tesco didn't even get any in even though it's a huge one that is open 24 hours :mad:

MarkR

I got that price in Limerick this morning. From self serve checkout. 59.95 - GTA IV x360 / ps3 promo of 20. Nice.

AdrianII

got it from tesco clearwater in finglas, only got 40 copies of each in though

Jip

That's the price for them all. Wonder what the story is with those who paid over €60 earlier this morning then ?
The promotion must only be in effect from today.

:mad::mad::mad:

I bought in Tesco last night for €60

EDIT: Tesco are very automated so i dont know why this happened! As in if they have a buy one get one free on something , where the offer ends on the 20th, at 12:00 of the 20th it will no longer scan at the tills

Might chance going in after work and complaining

Basq

Ouch witnessmenow.. that's rough!

Has any one seen any documentation on the offer, as in an ad in the paper or something. If i have something that says "special offer on the 29th only" Im getting my Damn €20 back!

0ubliette

yep, i just got it in tesco santry for 39.99!! I considered buying two or 3 but they only had ten copies, and me and another guy were there at half 8 in the morning, and phone calls were already coming in to the helpdesk asking could they hold copies and such, so i figured it would be a bit bastardish to buy more than one. Couldnt believe it tho, as i was turned away from gamestop in santry for not having a preorder!!

Anybody know if Tesco Stilorgan or Dun Laoghaire sell PS3 Games? Or even better which Tesco's do sell them. Bray don't seem to have them, haven't ever seen them there.

FutureGuy

Yep 39.99 in Tesco Limerick (Authors Quay)

Couldn't believe it!

Ad in the metro, it says offer valid until 6/5/08. in other words till all their copies sell out today

i got 2 this morning for €36 each (staff discount) in bloomfields, dun l. one for me and one for a mate. never even thought of gettin a 3rd at the time to sell off at a considerable profit. dammit!

have to say though, fair play to tesco for selling it so cheap. i figured itd be €50 absolute minimum

no ps3 copies in bloomfields and afaik the shopping centre tesco dont sell games

Basq

Wahey.. the girlfriend got a copy in Sligo. Good few left apparently!

Although she just rang me to say she almost bought a copy for the PS3.. i've a 360!

cosgrove80

Struggling to get a copy in Wexford. Tesco didn't get any in (as of last night). Gamestop and Xtravision are sold out (or so I'm told) and Argos never had stock.

Do Argos ever get stock and not put it on the site or ring and reserve?

bonkers

tesco baggot st upper and lower
tesco rathmines
jervis st

no joy


any ideas close to the city centre or will i jsut pay the price in xtravision

That would be abusing your staff discount!

yup, its also in the herald am. both are papers given out free every morning to dart/luas commuters and they also have people all over town giving them out free until around 10am.

The small print also mentions "Available in selected Tesco stores" so they may bring you up on that but i reckon thats the game and not the offer so i'd deffo make a fuss over it

Yeah, why not ask at one of the Tesco's to see which of them have them in stock ?

thenobody

all gone in Maynooth

c0rk3r

Tescos clearwater only had 2 copies when i went in at 9.30 for the xbox 360. Completely sold out for the PS3.

All gone now i reckon. Phone was ringing constantly with people inquiring about how many were left. Poor guy will be driven crazy by the end of the day.

rob316

I paid 60 for this at 1.30 last night. Can I get my 20 back?

johnny_ultimate

Went up to Tesco Bray after seeing the ad in the Independent but there was no sign of any GTA. Just got it in Smyths in the end. Would have been nice to save 20 euro though

ShaneU

Now you know why they waited till 2am, it was for the price change.

SoulRock

So Anyone know of locations in Dublin/city where i could pick this up today?
to be honest Game companies have no excuse for shortages like this..
it's ridiculous to say the least..

Had a poke into Stillorgan at lunch, no sign of it there. They told me they haven't gotten in any stock yet, and have no idea when they'll get any.

ShaneU

anyone know if there's still any ps3 copies left in clare hall? They're not answering their phone (as usual). My 360 can't play for longer than half an hour without the screen becoming pixelated.

Im not taking that as an excuse, unless it clearly states on the paper that the offer is starting on "29th at 2am" Im getting my money back!!

eh not the game companies fault, its the suppliers and distributers who hold back on the game, simple supply and demand, plus you cant really give out considering that there has been availibility to pre order for months....

Boots09

They had it for the 360 in Tesco Roscommon after lunch today my sister picked it up for me she said they had a couple more that time!

distributors, supplier's/publishers are part of the equation when i said game companies, its a marketing tool to hold off with supply, as this creates 'News' and more demand... xyz is sold out blah blah.. supply can easily keep up with demand in this case.. it's not a piece of hardware it's a disc for gods sake..

not everyone is in a position to pre order, i was away and only got home last week when everywhere i went had stopped taking pre orders..

although just back from argos dundrum and they've got PS3 copies but no 360 ;(
suppose ill have to wait, like a good little consumer till all the stocks of this game that are sitting in some warehouse get Distributed..
Peace

DarkJager

That really added to the experience for me. I just strolled into tesco at 12am and picked one up without a preorder or anything. Every game shop I've been in for the past few weeks have been promoting how "sold out" it will be unless you have a deposit. Thats certainly two fingers to them anyway!!

The Bull

went to xtra vision (westport) but had none only for the guys that pre ordered it. Got mine in tesco in westport at lunch time, Had none on display so went to the fags/paper counter and asked had they got it in, she said yep what console, i said xbox, in she went to the back and came out with the goods, also got it for 39.95 euro.
