Fifa 10 - best price?

mcgooch

gonna pick this up tomorrow so thought I'd start a thread to try and find the cheapest place to purchase.

I've heard Tesco UK are going to be selling it for around 25 sterling. Hoping they'll have a similar deal here too.

HMV are usually good for selling new releases on the cheap too...

HMV are a good place to check for this type of release. I'd expect Tesco to be slightly more expensive though!

I've been told that HMV are selling it for €45.

Argos: €49.99
HMV: €45.00
Smyths: €49.99/€45 with a loyalty card
Gamestop: €55
Xtra-Vision: €49.99 with a free football. They're also doing an offer wherby if you trade in two games from a list you'll get it for free. You'll have to see in store though for this list of games as it's not on their website.
Tesco: TBA but I would say they'll be charging around the same as Argos for it. Still, I'm holding out for the off chance that they may be selling it for €35 like they did with FIFA 09 last year.

Thanks That Guy. I'll give Tesco a call later today and see if I can get a price from them. I'll post my findings here.

If you've a 24 hour Tesco near you, you might get it at midnight.... if you're lucky.

gamestop are indeed charging 55 euro. visited my local one about an hour ago(''come back later and maybe we will sell it early''). WTF? Most new games from GS have been around 45 recently. I got Batman for that on release day. Are they trying to make up for their preorder trade-in deal with this higher price.

Anyway will prolly pick it up in HMV, student discount etc.

Anyone tried GAME?

I've noticed a few games in GS priced at one price on the thursday after 6, and then a cheaper price the next day on the official release date.

Hmm seems like a very strange procedure. Surely if someone goes in the day before a game's release and sees the price they will be discouraged from purchasing in that store the next day(release day).

Do GS still do that 'we match other store's price' thingy. Coz I will be in Dun Laoighre all tomorrow and there is a Gamestop and don't wanna pay 55euro if it's cheaper elsewhere.

Gamestop don't pricematch or at least not in my experience - plus they are kinda jerkish overall - take your money to who ever is selling cheapest and reward them for not gouging people.

Yes true. Luckily there is an Argos in Dun Laoighaire too. So get it there for 49.99. There prolly is an Xtravision somewhere there too and a Tesco. Not too familar with Dun L..

Shzm

There's a tesco in the shopping center.

SRFC90

It's been sold for £28 in England for 24hours after release, so there'll probs be a similar offer going on here. €40 for first 24hours after release!?

Still, I'm gonna try other places this evening, as I don't mind paying a bit more to definatley get it tonight!

hey my friend went into tesco in the crescent in limerick there and they told him they're selling it for 49.99. boo..

Rip-off Ireland is alive and well, almost €20 more than the Tesco UK price :mad:

suppose its cause they don't have the competition from asda over here..

DarkJager

€50 in Xtravision with a free football. They seem to be the safest bet as well if you want it tonight, went out on the shelves earlier this evening.

Well I called in to the 24 hour Tesco in Waterford on my way to work at 12 and it wasn't out on the shelves. I was in a hurry so didn't have time to find someone to ask. Anybody else been to Tesco?

I was in my local Tesco in Ashbourne last night and I asked the manager there, who just happens to be a hardcore gamer, and he was saying that it won't be as cheap as last year.

I'm going over to Blanch now to pick my copy up but I'll check back into Tesco on the way home and see if it's there.

Kenny_D

Can anyone please post up the prices from GAME, Gamestop, HMV and Xtravision. Hoping to pick it up after work. Cheers

Cheers lads. Can close this thread. Didn't know there was a fifa forum :P

That_Guy

GAME: €49.99
HMV: €45.00 (my cousin who works in the Blanch store told me this)
Gamestop: €55.00 (From what I've been reading)
Xtravision: €49.99 including a free football.

HMV seems to be the cheapest thus far.

Gonna get mine in GAME in Blanch though. Gonna trade in Arkham Asylum and I've got €13 left on a gift voucher for Blanch.

I've gotten good store credit from GAME in the past when it comes to trading in games so I'm hoping I'll get a decent enough return today. Not entirely sure what HMV are like with trade ins.

I did see them advertising a special offer in store in Henry St whereby you could get Halo: ODST for €32.99 when you traded in Arkham Asylum or another game (the name eludes me at present).

I'll check both and I'll post more info when I return from Blanch.

johnny_adidas

anyone tried trading in fifa 09 against it? think it was only €20 with fifa 08 for 09 last year in xtravision
(that said i preferred the pro evo demo this yr, didnt seem to be much diff in fifa but i guess thats for another thread)

Lemlin

I rang Tesco in Navan and they didn't even have it in stock.

Kenny_D

Tesco are selling it for €35 until next friday. Was a big ad for it in todays paper.

THat's a terrible offer. ODST is only €40 in xtravision and €45 in gamestop. Dont know about the rest but thats not much credit for batman considering its still a new release. You'll get €30 trade in for it in Gamestop off a preorder

CyberWaste

What about Tesco? can you get a student discount in hmv on it?

Rushdie

Can confirm this

Cheers man, was in there last night and they were saying 50 quid but i knew it was going to cheaper today. I'm glad I waited.

Shzm

Anyone have any idea if gamestop will still give €30 for the games on the tradein list against Fifa 10 today?

ShaneU

€31.50 in tesco with staff discount :):):):):):) Feel sorry for suckers paying €50+

Catenaccio!

Well to be honest I'm happy I paid 15 quid extra and got hours of enjoyment last night out of it. I ain't a sucker and don't feel sorry for me. Thanks.

I picked up my copy (along with my new PS3) in Smyths this morning. They're selling for €50 with €5 off if you have a loyalty card.

Was in Tesco Waterford buying a cheap HDMI cable and took a look around the games section but no sign of it. DIdn't bother asking the staff but if it's €35 that's a brilliant price.

CyberWaste

Can CONFIRM that its €35 for Fifa 10 in tesco for xbox 360 and ps3. Just picked up a ps3 copy in the dundalk one.

Same for the tesco I got it in, not on game shelves, but asked at counter, it was behind the counter on the shelves.

Kenny_D

Anyone get a copy in Tesco clondalkin, the square (tallaght) or ballyfermot?

That_Guy

Back from Blanch.

I traded in Arkham Asylum and got a €36 trade in price on it. Managed to get FIFA for €13.

Happy days.

Good price in Tesco.

If it says €50 on the shelf it should still scan at €35

d93c2inhxfok4y

Are there any tesco's near the city centre selling it for 35? I know there's on in parnell square but they never have playstation games! Anywhere else I can go? Unfortunately im limited to the city centre!

Shzm

Jervis Center?

postalservice

Anyone know a place in Cork where you can rent it for the PS2?:)

fitzer1982

Going into the city myself to see if I can get it on the XBOX, does Parnel do Xbox games?
