    Hello everyone, i have created a spreadsheet comparing the prices of 4 upcoming big ps3 titles over the next month or so.

    Please note: Inorder to convert to euros (for some sites like tescoentertainment.com) , i have used the google currency converter.
    Dont yell at me if there is a slight variant in prices.
    Also i have rounded of figures. For eg the assasins creed 2 in coolshop.co.uk is 36.77 pounds. I rounded it to 37 pounds while doing the conversion.

    One more thing the conversions where done on 12th october 2009. The currency rate could go up or down at any time. So dont yell at me if you find the figures slightly different when you do the math.

    Here is the data, if you dont want to download the file (it looks more organised in the actual excel file) .
    Name Retailler Price ( in euros )
    Uncharted 2 game.co.uk 43
    MW2 game.co.uk 48.5

    damn, after all that hardwork the data looks all cramped up. Download the file if you want an organised view.
    If somebody else wants to copy the data and structure it an better way, please feel free to do so ( as long as u post it in this thread )

    wouldnt it make more sense to group the games together rather than the shops?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,977 ✭✭✭johnny_adidas


    easier to use this?

    While I don't want to detract from your list too much, you are comparing ONE Irish store from a bunch of UK stores who are always going to be cheaper.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,781 ✭✭✭eddhorse


    Do they all include shipping?

    Good job by the way and thanks for Gametracker as well johnny_adidas

    I use this site, can also select games you want to "price watch", type in the value you want to pay for the game & they email you when the game drops to or below that price. Great for alerting you for preorder bargains or if your willing to wait a while for a price to drop.

  • Registered Users Posts: 4,317 ✭✭✭CombatCow

    *checks for Borderlands on gamestracker, lists it for €34 in Zavvi*

    *goes downstairs, gets drink, comes back upstairs, spurts drink onto monitor in amazement*

    Dude, thanks for the linking that site. Cheap games ahoy.

    Thanks, Im going to wander up to XV 2m and check how much they are charging cos I'd like to get rid of my non-GOTY edition too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,317 ✭✭✭CombatCow


    HMV aswell, but im wondering if they just converted the english price, i'll give the store a ring tomorrow.

    Anyone know how much xtravision are charging for uncharted 2?


  • Registered Users Posts: 609 ✭✭✭jmx009

    I didnt know about this site or else i wouldnt have made the list.
    Just to let you know though. gamestracker.com doesnt list the webste http://www.coolshop.co.uk . I find this website to have the cheapest rate of all the other sites. ( amazon.co.uk with the occasional free delivery to ireland might beat http://www.coolshop.co.uk on some games.)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,977 ✭✭✭johnny_adidas


    i should've added to my post that i wasn't knocking the good work you'd done. dont think it lists gamesnash either so also has its limits.

    hadnt even heard of coolshop before, so must have a look


  • Registered Users Posts: 609 ✭✭✭jmx009


    Has anyone ever used the following websites?
    DVD.CO.UK
    BlahDVD.com
    101cd.com

    I got the above 3 websites from gamestracker. All 3 of them have infamous for around 18-19 euros. I've never heard of them before. Has anyone ever used it before?

    Where do you have this info from? When I pre-ordered (I traded in 2 crappy games and got €30 for each) my copy of Uncharted 2 from GameStop, I've been told, that they will probably price match HMV's price in case it will be cheaper there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,317 ✭✭✭CombatCow


    I rang both the stores just out of interest and was really surprised by the price of Uncharted, I dont know if thay will price match HMV, Did'nt ask.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,919 ✭✭✭✭Gummy Panda


    €69.99 is the RRP for uncharted 2 but i didn't expect that price from Gamestop. Guess it'll be amazon getting my cash.


  • Registered Users Posts: 54,037 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    folks the pound is weak against the euro today. Buy those games from the uk asap
