CHECK OUT THIS THREAD OVER IN BARGAIN ALERTS! :pac::pac::pac:

If there is one thing I have learned it this:
Never pre-order a big release game for PS3 from Play.com as you will never get it on release day or sometimes even during the first week. Many have found this out for GT5: Prologue, GTA4 & Killzone 2.

i dont get preordering in general, unless you live miles away from the nearest game store

its almost a complete freak of nature when a game physically sells out

Yeah the only games that generally sell out are GTA's. Getting resi 5 on 360 because the ps3 version has a 4gb+ install(i hate forced installs:mad: )

Did anyone else think that the demo for this totally sucked? I never played RE4 but I was a huge fan of the first three and this just did nothing for me. Gammy controls didn't help.

Captain-America

Never played any of them, but I played the demo. The controls confused the hell out of me. Have they always been like that?

John

No, the old games were far more forgiving and were based more around puzzles than just shooting zombies (not that there wasn't any of that)

That thread is showing xtravision is cheaper than play and gamesnash.

Just repeating a post from the other thread reffered to


Ok this is me being very smart here but could the OP provide a source.

We just rang Xtravision in Blanchardstown who told us the price was not set yet. We then rang on their advice head office and spoke to a lady in the games department who also said price had not been set yet. On both cases we mentioned the €39.99 price and were told it was first they heard of it.

I'm not accusing anyone of lying btw - maybe its a hush hush promotion but it's a fantastic price for a bricks and mortar store if it turns out to be correct.

Last time we saw a game completely sell out as in could not be got for love nor money was the Wii Fit before Xmas and if you don't count that as a game then GTA4 last year.

However we have been told that demand for Resi 5 has outstripped supply and that stock is now being allocated as opposed to retailers receiving their entire orders. That's obviously still a step before nobody having the stock but it's the first time since GTA4 that this has happened.

Helix

too much hype around it

its not as good as people are hoping. i forsee disappointed faces come friday

*nb it is actually good, just not brilliant

I work there and looked at the price on the system on Saturday and have been telling people about it all weekend.

kensutz

Let's hope it's not a glitch in the pricing system

kellsred

It was €44.99 on the system in the xtravision I work in earlier on (monday night).

Absolam

Xtra-vision are advertising €44.99 in the Metro today.

Gamesnash.ie: Pat

The OP's branch seemingly have a different lower price as referred to in the bargains alert thread.

robfowler78

mdwexford

It was in my local Gamestop today for 39.99, happy days.

Plascebo

Anyone going to bother getting the steelbook version? Got the €39.99 standard version yesterday in Gamestop, but wondering if the limited edition is worth the extra €10???

shinzon

seems not all xtravisions have the offer, xtravisiion on the dunmore road in waterford had the 39.99 44.99 prices when i went in there, girl then checked on the computer and said the steelbook was mis priced and was actually 54.99 for steelboook and 44.99 for the normal edition



Shin

butts

Normal edition going for €39.95 in Xtravision in Greystones.

Kashkai

Its for sale at €39.95 in xtravision in Clane, Co. Kildare. Think I'll wait for the reviews first as I wasn't too impressed with the demo.

mark.leonard

39.99 in Smyths, Retail Park Galway

NotorietyH

Xtravision in Washington St. on Cork have it for 39.99, I didn't buy it though. Too busy with Killzone 2!

The steel case is nice, but the only extra is a fairly weak making of DVD... (Doesn't really cover how they made the game itself at all, just how they did the cutscenes)
Worth getting if you're an anal collector type like me, but for the majority of people it's not going to be worth it

You have a filthy mind

Roar

saw on the poster today that trading in two games would get you resi 5 for free. anyone know what games they're accepting? was gonna trade in mirror's edge (which annoyed me so much after 3 levels i stopped playing) and Street Fighter 4 (which I've played three times since I've gotten it)

noodler

I am certain SV4 would be one of them. Not so sure about Mirror's Edge. Ring your local to save yourself the trip anyhows.

Rev. Kitchen

I picked up my copy of Res 5 for 39.99 today. it was marked down from 44.99 sign in the window said it was for 1 week 13th to 20th at 39.99 or free with two game trade in ( with all picks of new games CODWAW killzone etc )
