    HMV seems best at the moment with most new release games at €52.99, I have mine preordered in Gamestop, no price set untill tomorrow but they are doing a good deal in that you can return the game within 7 days for a full credit refund if you don't like it,

    SendIt have it for €48.49 here http://www.sendit.com/sendit/9988700.product

    I popped into Game yesterday evening while the wife was looking at shoes and asked how much they'd have it, the guy wasn't sure but said more or less "either €54.99 or €64.99, but probably €64.99". Knowing Game I wouldn't at all be surprised it's €64.99.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,593 ✭✭✭theteal


    i paid €54.99, expecting it to arrive this morning, hurry up mr postman!!!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 136 ✭✭PG4000


    I got mine this morning in the post. €50 from Gamesnash when they had the €5 discount offer. Best site online for Irish consumers that want fast delivery. Thanks Gamesnash!

    Yeah, but that is store credit. So if you buy it and bring it back within the 7 days you'll only get your €55 quid to spend in there shop.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1 ShadowColossus


    I just rang Xtra-vision in Donaghmede, they're sellin it for €49.99. I presume that price goes for all xtra-vision. Thats where I'm getting mine :cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,126 ✭✭✭xanthor


    Far as i can remember the specialty shops will usually price match any retailer other than Argos.

    (i may be wrong!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,905 ✭✭✭bucks73


    I rang the Limerick Xtravision store listed on there site as opening tonight (Parkway) and they told me they arent opening late at all. Either is Dooradoyle store.

    Guess its Tesco for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,149 ✭✭✭BFassassin


    Anyone know how much tescos will be charging? It would be sweet if it was €35 like Fifa 09 was :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,905 ✭✭✭bucks73


    Even something similar to the €39.99 for GTA IV would be nice.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,148 ✭✭✭ciano1


    Well if xtravision are only 49.99....Tesco will still want to guarentee the lowest price as they tend to do with big releases:D

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,045 ✭✭✭Rev. Kitchen

  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 30,014 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    Yeah just picked it up in HMV for 40.49. Great value. Was going to get the special edition but they were all pre-booked or something. HMV really is the place to go for games these days: fantastic prices.

    And now, to sit through 2 hours of a media law lecture with the thing sitting in my bag :(

    So you can't just walk in and buy the LE in HMV??

    Nope. They had a few copies behind the counter and I asked how much they were (50 or something) but the guy said that they didn't have any left, so I assumed they were already pre-booked. This was Henry Street, might be worth trying the others.

    Bastard. :pac: Was €59.99 in Smyths on the Ennis Road, Limerick for the Ltd Edition one. Got the 10% off and got rid of some old games, so I don't feel too bad.

    I'm Mark_Eire if anyone's looking for me later.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 30,014 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    Just played the prologue there and good to have a shooter after oh so many RPGs. Seemed a little easy on hardcore, but only the first half hour yet.

    Will be on from around 11.30 (damn evening shifts) if anyones up for a game. Gamertag below. Must try out Horde!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,324 ✭✭✭chrislad


    I've breezed through about 6 single player level achievements on hardcore so far without much issue. Loving the mortars.

    When your using your student card for student discounts (in Hmv) do they thoroughly check your card or just glance at it because mine expired in august but would love to get that discount :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,894 ✭✭✭evad_lhorg


    game have it for 45


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,149 ✭✭✭BFassassin

    Do you still have your HMV student discount card. I have never been asked for my actual student card.
