Let me place an order for it anyway.

*fingers crossed*

I got a 360 game from play already this week.

IrishMike

Already tired im afraid.
Said they wont send it to an address outside of the UK

I plugged a wired 360 controller into my laptop and it was terrible. Was trying to play San Andreas and it just wouldn't work. Looked it up and apparently everybody has the same problem, with most games. They're useless for pc's.

Clover

i use it all the time when i play on the pc , well worth picking up if you have a 360 pad.

Yep.

Then again, I get all my online stuff delivered to a work address.
Maybe that has some bearing.

How fast is shipping from play these days? Took the full 14days last time I ordered.

Well, I ordered some books/dvds/games on the 13/05, shipped the 14/05, arrived 19/05.

Received order confirmation eMail. I assume I would have found out at the checkout stage if they wouldn't send item to Ireland.

I know they won't send most electronics to Ireland - but they will ship some gaming peripherals.

Anyone unfamiliar with the site - you must change the currency to Euro if you hope to have items delivered outside the UK.

I found it perfect. Played Overlord and the new Tomb Raider game perfectly with the 360 controller... I'm using Vista though... I think it tends to be more friendly to xbox stuff.

I play PES 2008 with this on Vista PC, very smooth. If you don't have a xbox360 controler Gamestop sells the PC version for €39.99 (Xbox controller + receiver).
