    I know theres a thread involving Fifa 09, but I figured this is a bit different and solely directed at how much its going to be in various stores. Anyone have any quotes from any shops on how much its gonna be on release day next friday?

    Tesco had a promotion last year where they sold fifa 08 really cheap, I think it was €40 on the 360 iirc? Maybe they'll do it again?

    I think i will just get my copy in Smyth's up here in the North trade in 08 and get the Irish cover and not be stuck with Wanye Rooney on it.

    €55 is the cheapest i've seen it so far (Play.com)

    Smyths-€65 on xbox 360 and ps3.

    Was looking at trading in fifa 08 and i was getting €8 for it. That was the best price.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 117 ✭✭mickyt


    www.shopto.net looks like you can get it for under 50 euro


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 665 ✭✭✭Rafloution


    twitchy bum time on if it turns up Friday though :)

    Gamestop? did you try Xtravision? they are usually loads better for trade prices!


  • Posts: 5,285 [Deleted User]


    Yeah Xtravision was the best. But there is no point. I will just give 08 to a mate . Would rather give it to somebody who wants it and will play it .

    Wise and noble choice! I hate being fleeced by the buggers! i'd rather not give them the pleasure...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 512 ✭✭✭ROC1977

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,024 ✭✭✭Moiph


    Do Tesco put the games out at midnight of the release day?

    I got it online.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 756 ✭✭✭themacdaddy


    I heard an ad on the radio today that Smyths have a trade in offer of 2 old games and get fifa 09 free but I think they (the games) have to be of a certain standard..anyone know more about it? tried their webiste but got nothing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 512 ✭✭✭ROC1977


    You can trade in 2 games in gamestop too. But pay a tenner also for all new games. Also if you buy the force unleashed and finish it in week they will give you a credit note for the game.

    As far as the trade in' s go. Normally any game that isn't a platinum game or too old.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,300 ✭✭✭MayoForSam


    I see Tesco UK will be selling Fifa '09 for less than £30 (€37.50), I wonder will Tesco here do something similar (€50?) here at the last minute (wishful thinking I suppose)?

    Can anyone confirm this?


    Also does anyone know if mahon point will sell fifa 09 at midnight?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 756 ✭✭✭themacdaddy


    ye was in Smyths at lunch time. They do it for every game alright. You can trade in two games for it BUT they have to be of a trade in value of €34 in total.
    Like ther trade in value of fifa 08 is €8, GTA is worth €24 and Fight Night is worth €12.
    You have to ask them in store how much the value of your games are worth!
    She said you can trade in more like 3-4 games to make up the €34 but I doubt you'll want to part with that many games!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,024 ✭✭✭Moiph

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,360 ✭✭✭NeVeR

    Well heres hoping Tesco over here follow suit. Still wondering if they'll put it on the shelf at midnight, anyone know?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 7,944 Mod ✭✭✭✭Yakult


    Will tesco even have it friday is what im wondering -_-

    On a few occasions I have went in on the day a big game was released to find they wouldnt have it for another few days.

    Same as that up where i am, they are fecking useless for putting stock out!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    IF anyone who has the game sees this, can you tell me whether the Eircom League 1st Division is in it?

    I've head rumours. Can't wait until tomorrow. Need to know now:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,204 ✭✭✭kensutz


    Premier Division I'd say.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 690 ✭✭✭givyjoe81


    It's officially broken! Spoke to guys from smyths bray and game tallaght and both of them at least are selling due to someone breaking the release date. Not too many people seem to care though, which is odd considering what a game it promises to be.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,661 ✭✭✭✭Helix


    wonder if xtravision will sell it to me

    a game shop definitely would, but i dunno if xtravision will... ill ring them to see. not arsed walking down for nothing

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,736 ✭✭✭OctavarIan


    I'm gonna try my local Xtravision and Tesco in about half an hour, will let ye know if successful


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 690 ✭✭✭givyjoe81


    Just got mine in xtra game in the square after restraining myself from knocking out the ignorant g bag in Smyths tallaght. I politely explained to her minion that it had broken in two other stores, one Smyths Bray! and the other game in square.. "yeah well im not braykin it" in skangerese, "10k fine..." yeah but someone else already has!! I know they get people chancin her arm but all she had to was ring, ignorant wench!

    Anywho rant over, xtra game were just puttin up the second i walked in. At about half seven, so more and more should start selling it. I reckon go to your local xtra v and get them to ring x game in square if they dont believe you!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,843 ✭✭✭Arciphel


    why can't ye just wait until tomorrow, it won't kill ye will it? :p
