I've been keeping an eye on that website all day today and never saw it coming in stock at Drogheda. There's none there now, does that mean it was sold out within hours? :pac:

You must have missed it... give it a try again tomorrow evening (after 6pm) as it might have copies from people who never collected their copy they reserved today.

Noticed most online retailers are selling move games for £24.99 roughly 30euro. Every shop I went to, with the exception of argos are selling the games for 40euro.

It's damn near impossible to compete with online retailers prices to be fair..

You playing with two PS Move controllers? Or just the one Move and a Nav controller?

Basq

Just the one Move, no Nav.

Should I pick up the Nav controller?

Mine arrived from Amazon this morning. I'll let you know. Over in the PS Move thread in the PS forum, someone said the gladiator game was brilliant with TWO Move controllers. Haven't got two of them but I'll let you know how I get on with the Nav Controller.

One move and the nav should be the way, wouldn't it?

I know the archery can be used with two Move controllers. Not too sure what two Move controllers could bring to the Gladiator fighting though. Gonna try out the Nav Controller in a few mins. I'll report back. If not here then in the PS Move thread.

Looks Like the Nav controller is pretty much useless for Sports Champions. Not used as afar as I can see. You can play Gladiator Duel and Archery etc with 2 Move controllers. The Nav controller isn't used at all.
Going out to buy Resi5:Gold Edition. Gonna trade in my copy of Resi5 while I'm at it.

Yep, ordered a copy for €15 (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056035183) last week. This probably needs the Nav controller.

Sports Champions is now in stock pretty much everywhere except Drogheda and Dundalk. Picked up a copy from Jervis St, and also picked up an additional move controller from Smyth's (they are the cheapest - €39.99)
