Nice one, just ordered Far Cry 2 for xbox, Manhunt 2 for Wii, Warhammer for PSP, and Stuntman Ignition for PS2.
Just over 60 euro the lot.

Eoinsku

Just got GTA IV and Far Cry 2!

Cheers for the heads up

johnnyrotten

its GB 17.99 which converts to €21.60 not €25.49.
Still a bargain but the great sterling v euro price differential continues

When I clicked to buy they wouldn't let me order because I wasn't in a U.K. adress. What did I do wrong?

Edit: Nevermind, for first time play buyers make sure to change the currency. Thanks OP

You have to have the product price in euro when you add them to your Shopping Basket. There is a little European Union flag on the page (usually top right corner somewhere) which you can click to get the prices in euro. Once you have done that you should take the UK priced products from your shopping basket and add the euro-priced ones in. After that you should be able to ship to an Irish address.

Condemned did remind me a little of a First Person Manhunt.

I've played the original Manhunt on PS2 and thought it was awesome, a real grim atmosphere - more so even than Condemned.

I don't actually own a Wii so Manhunt 2 is for the nephew, I'll borrow the console and the game off him at some stage

Burning Eclipse

Bully on Xbox

Good price, althought it's not part of the "Mega Monday" deal - it's been like that for a while.

fdevine

Same with Carnival Games on Wii - been €13.99 for ages.

They had Battle of the Bands on Wii for €6.99 at one point a while back.

Any idea why it's telling me that 2 games can only be delivered to a UK address?

Never seen this before from play.

Got it now, had to change it to Euro price first.

Nice one. Got Far Cry 2 for the Xbox. At least I'll have one present waiting for me when I get home from college at Christmas!

and pay the 8 euro "conversion rate".
Far Cry 2 works out at about 21 euro when you convert directly from Sterling.

Qwerty?

No, they don't accept Irish Laser/Maestro cards I'm afraid.

mine came today
thanks op

kendragon

Received Bully and Far Cry 2 for the xbox 360 today. Both for 40euro (assuming I dont get a bill from customs in the next couple of weeks) Thanks OP

Soarer

Don't think you can get caught for customs once you have the goods.

I think they hold it and send you a bill. When you pay the bil, then you get the goods.
Since you get the goods already, I'd say you're in the clear.

Yeah your probably right... I was thinking of couriers like Fedex and UPS that deliver your goods and then a month later hit you with a bill for duty and overpriced administration fees. I should be off the hook for these.

I dont think any of ye will be stung for customs. I think another boardsie mentioned there last week, in another thread, that play.com now ship from Budapest (Rather than the Channel Islands), which is in the EU:)
