    Which Game was this? I had a look in the game in the Ilac centre and there was nothing much that seemed a big bargain.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,510 ✭✭✭sprinkles


    New or preowned?

    Must have a dander in there later... (even if I have 6 or so games still in plastic wrapping, and god knows how many that have only touched the disc tray for a couple of minutes...)
    I'm guessing they're preowned? Can't quite picture Game selling a new PS3 game for €10


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,200 ✭✭✭muppetkiller


    Sorry the PS3 bargins I picked up were preowned but you can by new games in there for 16.99 too. i'm goign back now to get more ...
    There were new Wii games for 6.99 and things like mass effect (new) on the 360 for only 23 Euro..

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,170 ✭✭✭Grawns

    I might tip in today and have a look for 1 or 2 wii games. Ill ask about original xboxs.
    God help me if they have any, last time I ended up getting 6.... not all for me but did eventually own 4 of em. If their €20 it'll be hard to stop me!

    I think Top Spin three is only 34.99 this week too :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,351 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    Sega Rally on the PS3 for €16 and Alone in the Dark for €35 were both bargains. Also if anyone needs a spare joypad, the SixAxis is only €30.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,200 ✭✭✭muppetkiller


    I only paid 10.99 for Sega Rally :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 105 ✭✭ageary08


    I got beautiful katamari and blazing angels 2 (or what ever that ww2 flying game is) for 17 quid each on 360 in patrick street and mahon point, cork. Katamari is a brilliant game if you in the market for something weird and japense.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,534 ✭✭✭Dman001


    They also had PSP screen protectors for 98c and a Wii sensor bar for under €8.

    Got Assassin's Creed for 16.99 - I was going to pay 56 yo yos in Gamestop for this last week :D

    Rainbow 6 Vegas is down to €34 - might go back for that tomorrow but word of warning, Haze is half price at €34 I think but avoid as its a crap game.

    Tht would be R6V 2 - The most recent one. I'd steer clear too if the pricee dropped that quick. Few enough of the pre-owned left in Game Mahon point - Picked up Assassin's Creed....they still have Virtue Tennis 3 @ 29.99 or get another game 1/2 price with it, Stranglehold, lair, Sega and a few otherrs at reasonable prices.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 897 ✭✭✭oxygen_old


    did they have any 360 hd dvd players


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,534 ✭✭✭Dman001


    The one in Galway had them for under €25.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,199 ✭✭✭Shryke


    I got a nice Zelda carry case thing for my DS for a tenner. It was half price. I'm happy with it as I'm about to go traveling. Tomorrow. And I love Zelda. So that's handy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,318 ✭✭✭witnessmenow


    The one in galway doesnt have any Hd-dvd drives left

    It doesnt have any original xboxs either


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,580 ✭✭✭✭Riesen_Meal


    Me wanty Katamari!!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer

    Really? They had quite a few HD-DVD players when I went in yesterday....23.99 though.

    Also have Game Boy Advance SP's w/free game for 30....

    Most of the Xbox games left were a bit meh but I did get Splinter Cell Chaos Theory and Pandora tomorrow for 2.50 a peice so that wasn't too bad at all....

    Mass Effect for 23.99 on the PC and 360 was a great deal, also saw Dark Messiah 360 for 16.99 (all new) among others. Preowned wise, I even saw 360 games for 9.99.

    I used to mostly use Gamestop but even this Sale aside, Games prices have been so much better lately.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,297 ✭✭✭Ron DMC


    Hmmmm... Think I'll wander by Dawson Street amárach. Sounds good.

    I'll let ye know how I get on.

    Driving games' handling is very subjective - Sega Rally might just 'click' with the above poster.

    Download the demo if there's one available otherwise, for €15, you could probably make the majority of the cost back if you trade it in when finished.

    Got Folklore new for €10 :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,510 ✭✭✭sprinkles


    Went down to Dawson street and picked up Beautiful Katamari for e15, sweet! Sega Rally, new, for e15 as mentioned above. They also had Forza2/Viva Pinata double pack for e20 preowned - good deal.

    Thanks for the reply,

    Would be quite a trek for me to go there and get it! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,200 ✭✭✭muppetkiller


    I picked up Halo 3 and Mass Effect for the 360 for only 15 euro each (preowned)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 482 ✭✭davenewt


    Thanks OP. Was just in Game on Dawson St and picked up the following for Xbox 360 (all pre-owned):

    GTA IV €40
    Assassins Creed €17
    Halo 3 €17

    They had Assassins Creed on sale new at 25 I think, but the guy said they'd been flying off the shelves and he didn't have any more in stock. I hadn't seen any pre-owned on the shelves but asked him if they had any and he said he had, so I got it for €17 :)

    Goes to show it's always worth asking if you don't see it on the shelves!

    Not that my girlfriend will be of the same opinion... :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 156 ✭✭hughes2558


    Usually they have all the pre owned stuff out. maybe somebody was just after trading it in. You got lucky..
