    AC, I am only about 45 minutes from Enniskillen so I might go up one of the evenings this week if I get time. If I do then I will pick them up for you mate. ;)

    Or if anyone else gets there before me I'm sure me and AC can make it worth your while. If both of us threw you €12 odd each thats 4 of the cheap games for free for yourself. :D

    Do enniskillen store have them in stock though? Any stock that has a .97 or .98 is something that has gone end of line and they are trying to get rid of (hence the low price) so stock may be an issue. If they didn't, it would be a bit of a bítch making the trip only to find out they don't have them. If you do head up, please get them for me. I'd be as happy as a pig in shít.

    There are a few on their site marked .97 .98 that I don't see as been end of line.

    I'm heading up tomorrow in anyway so if I get some I will let you know. ;)

    Sorry lads, there were none of those games left today. So if anyone is in Currys up north can they pick me up Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Warhawk please?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 74 ✭✭pjjk


    I seen this thread in Bargain Alerts last Sunday, and headed up to Currys in Newry immediatly. There was nothing exciting left, Lost was there, so was Ironman(I think, or it was something similar) and the Golden Compass.
    I was hoping to grab Warhawk like many, or Rainbow 6 Vegas.
    Those prices were unbelievably good

    They probably went in bought the games and then sold them in their store, not the first time they've done it.

    Pity they won't do it down here in the South, I got Stranglehold for a fiver, Currys down here it's at full price :rolleyes:.
    I asked one of the staff there why the prices were not reduced in the south, first he said they never had any word about, then he said that there was no way Currys would reduced PS3 games that much, he got a buck when I showed him my receipt :p


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,125 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    Just thought I'd let you know that this has happened this side of the border. I picked up ninja gaiden and resistance: fall of man in pc world for 9.97 each. Some xbox 360 games are reduced as well.
    Only ones I remember are:
    Stanglehold - €4.97
    Ridge Racer 7 - €9.97

    Xbox 360:
    Bioshock - €9.97
    Timeshift - €9.97
    Stuntman - €9.97

    I think this is only in pc world as ninja gaiden was still €39.98 in currys.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,457 ✭✭✭giggsy664


    Thanks.

    In of world or currys?


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,125 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    PC World. Like I said above I don't think currys are doing the offer as they still had ninja gaiden for the more expensive price. I would try currys though as their price system may not have been updated.

    Thanks. Im in swords so I have both if them near me


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,125 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    Sweet. If they have a game for cheaper in one but they only have stock in the other, they might be able to arrange for it to be sent from one store to the other.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,457 ✭✭✭giggsy664


    Really?

    I looked at their Irish websites. Non existant. They've been under construction for god knows how long now.

    Anyway, cheers for the heads up Cushion


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,682 ✭✭✭LookingFor


    Jebus, I'll have to have a look in PC World/Currys this weekend.

    Warhawk for a fiver up the north is an absolute steal.

    No probs, I have a few people keeping their eyes open for the same deal so if I get them I will let you know. ;)

    I picked up Oblivion IV : The Elder Scrolls for PS3 yesterday in Currys up north for £9.97, very good game too :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,457 ✭✭✭giggsy664


    Gratz. I've heard Oblivion is brilliant. Ashamed I didn't get it myself when I went up and returned without Warhawk.

    *Sigh*
