    €30 Tesco were selling them for,all gone Clarehall and Artane. Thought they were selling them for around that secondhand in game shops.Also Cash Converters under Lidyls in parnell St.were selling them around that price.

    Good price for a potential media centre!

    But you have to but Action Replay and a game to make it into a MP. It seems like alot of hassel.

    No you don't ...all you need is a pc that has an IDE drive..
    Check out the modded console forum for the softmod tools...It's simple

    Cheers muppetkiller. I looked at the guide and it doesn't look too hard. XBMC looks sweet going by the pics on the thread.

    They're stacked on the landing on the stairs - lots of Xboxs for 30, some Gameboy Advance SP's for 25, PS2's for 60, etc...




  • Yes but aren't they second hand in Game and new in Tesco?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,346 ✭✭✭blindpilot


    Dont matter to me as long as I get my hands on one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 642 ✭✭✭red_fox


    Did you get one in Game Galway? What sort of condition is it?

    I've been looking for one after the €20 one I got in gamestop stopped working (broken hard drive). The gamestop one came from somewhere in mainland Europe, it didn't even have an Irish plug!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,346 ✭✭✭blindpilot


    Wont get a chance to get in there until thursday or friday but will let you know if I get one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,817 ✭✭✭✭po0k


    Any word on controllers?
    Would love to get 4x wireless ones.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,346 ✭✭✭blindpilot

    Anyone seen any of these going recently?

    Have now tried Game in Dawson Street, Clare Hall and Blanchardstown SC with no joy.

    I'm also looking for one of these...just tried Tesco's in Jervis St...they haven't had them in at all and have no idea if they are coming in. Also tried Gamestop on Liffey St and on Henry St...both don't sell them second hand, only new for €70 and finally tried Gamexchange on Talbot St who have them for €50.

    Is there anywhere in Dublin City Centre that are selling them for €20/€30? :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,366 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    Also tried Game and GameStop in Galway today. Still no joy :(

    Anyone?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 407 ✭✭kaiser soza


    I myself am still looking as I want a crystal one new but it looks like I will have to give up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,366 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    A sceond hand regular one would do me fine!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,899 ✭✭✭grimm2005


    hey if anyone is still looking for these i just got one a couple of days ago in gamestop henry st. for €20. apparently all consoles have been sent there. there was about 3 - 5 more behind the counter aswell so they shud still have a couple i reckon.

    A but off topic but theres also some great dvd bargains there atm. got sopranos series 3 and 5 used for €30 and also lost series 1 and 2 boxset for €20 new :eek:

    Kaiser, I'd suggest to try in GameStop in Bray, they only had Crystal Xbox consoles when I went for an used one. :)

    If anyone is close enough, the Game in the Richmond Centre in Derry had two left this eveing for £10 which is a bargain. My brother picked one up works perfectly. They've got plenty of old games for it too.
