    With you so far
    in went down to game and picked up winter games for the ps3 for 13 euro but if you buy 2 you get 5 euros off

    Winter games was €13 in Game, or €21 for two?
    then trade it in in gamestop and got the full band set for 23 euros for the ps3 and the set was 180 euros on the box good deal or what
    you get 60 euro trade in in hmv for it

    You traded in winter games to gamestop and got band hero set for €23?

    Where is the title (€10) coming from?

    He then seemed to go up to hmv and trade in his newly acquired Band Hero (worth 180 quid, 23 quid, 21 quid or possibly a tenner) for sixty quid. Maybe he went back down to Game and bought 6 more Winter games with that money, and then back to Gamestop and bought 6 Band Heros on trade in, ad infinitum. Keep that up for a week and you'd be a millionaire.

    Full stops and commas would make it a lot easier to read. Its very hard to follow exactly what you did and when

    It's not that we don't believe you. It's the fact that we can't understand a blind word you writed! ;)

    Ahh.. sweet irony! :D

    But lookingfor, can you revise your original paragraph and maybe throw in a couple of commas and full-stops. I'm not a grammar nazi by any means, but "srsly"!?

    Forgot the ;) to show I'm not a linguistic crip. :rolleyes:

    So just to be sure, trade in 2 games worth €15 and you get Band hero full boxset: all the instruments and the game for a tenner? Is this also on xbox 360? Is it worth getting just for the instruments?

    Do these instruments work with rock band 2?

    yep offer is game must be worth 15 euro each or more on there system,

    its the full band hero box with all instruments and is available for xbox also,

    cant answer others questions as this is the first time buying such a product.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 779 ✭✭✭Propane Nightmare


    You say all the instruments is there, but is the acutal game with it also?

    Has anyone who has this know if the drums work with Rock band 2, like so that I can I use the cymbals also like the new rock band 2 drums?

    yep game is also included, dont know why sales guy asked for 2 and then only needed one, checked sticker on box and it clearly states 1 game needed to be traded


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 330 ✭✭Dexterm99


    Anyone know what games they will accept?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,274 ✭✭✭_feedback_


    Very funny thread - but sounds like a great deal to me. Is it definately 1 game, not two?

    I was told one game trade also, and it has to be worth at least €14.99. VERY limited stocks nationwide I was told.

    Anyone know what these drums are like for use with Rock band 2?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,014 ✭✭✭Soarer


    If someone had any idea of which games can be traded, I'd be Hero-ing this evening!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 779 ✭✭✭Propane Nightmare


    Games Like GTA 4, Resi 5, Darksiders, Brutal Legend etc. if theyre any help. Just ring them up and ask, thats what I did.

    Best idea is to ring and say you have some games and ask are they part of the 15 euro deal. I rang them last week and they told me over the phone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 330 ✭✭Dexterm99


    Check your local store as I got it for a tenner just trading one game!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,975 ✭✭✭iMuse


    Is this nationwide? really hope i can get this for the Wii


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 129 ✭✭Rhodney


    just got one in blanch, thanks!

    few left...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,264 ✭✭✭witnessmenow


    What kind of games are people trading in?

    Would it be terribly rude for me to buy a second hand game in gamestop, and trade it in?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 213 ✭✭timbertime


    All the rockband bundles are gone in Limerick for Wii and PS3 but they have a DJ hero left on the Wii in the same type deal for €10. The girl on the phone reckons they'll be getting more in stock though.

    Anyone know a cheap place to get Guitar hero 5 game on xbox 360? Would go well with this set.

    I got mine in Rathmines. They had one left yesterday for the Wii but it was reserved. According the the guy in the store, this offer has been running since Sunday and most were bought on the first day:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,544 ✭✭✭Hogzy


    Does anyone know if this is in any Cork stores?

    Cant believe this isnt like the most popular bargain alert ever. This retails online for like 120 pounds!
    Its only 25 here like... Still cant believe it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 410 ✭✭Kevvv


    Picked this up in Gamestop Clarehall a while. Traded in Fight Night Round 3, some value for money. Priced at ?180 on the receipt :p

    It is a great bargain though. OP needs a bit more recognition even though the message had to be decrypted first :)

    Yup, got it in middleton, traded in Avp.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,449 ✭✭✭WeleaseWoderick


    Cheers OP, just after getting this in Gamestop in the St Stephen's Green shopping centre. Girl in the shop said they had a few left as well.

    I'd almost be tempted to get the DJ Hero set as well....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 986 ✭✭✭Bill-e


    They have 4 left in the Patrick street store.

    I just got one :cool:

    I asked them if they would allow me to buy a sh!tty game in there and trade it back in to save me the trip across the road to HMV. They said no lol.

    My back is broke from carrying the thing across town to my car.

    Great bargain OP!

    Yeah, I'm still trying to work out how I'm getting it from the shopping centre to the Dart station!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 557 ✭✭✭drunkymonkey


    Myself and my friend just got one each in Patricks street , they said theres only one left for PS3!

    Traded in Prototype for it!

    Can't believe this deal, gotta wait till i'm finished work to play it though! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,544 ✭✭✭Hogzy


    Just went in with Drunkymonkey to get this. Savage deal. Did anyone else NOT get drum sticks with theirs?

    Haven't checked, I hope I did! Might have to use a few wooden spoons ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,544 ✭✭✭Hogzy


    DRUMSTICKS

    If any of ye have trouble finding the drum sticks, Look under the Green Drum on the right hand side. Theyre hidden quite skillfully IMO...


    Thanks Google!!!
