    Game launches tomorrow.
    Just rang up Tesco to find out the price of this game.
    The manager said it was €43.95 for both the PS3 and the Xbox360 version.

    Seems like the best price for a brick and mortar store. and matches/slightly beats the prices on Amazon even.

    Nice one. Hope to get down to the Galway one early enough to get a copy.
    Anyone know if the Galway one (section with the toys) is 24 hour?

    how did you get him to tell you price i rang the 3 tescos beside me they all said they dont know price until tomorrow


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,306 ✭✭✭blahblah06


    Will we be able to get it at midnight?


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


    I'm gonna say a prayer tonight to all the Gods, that it scans at €44! ;)

    Seems like a great price OP. Damn I just pre-paid in Gamestop literally 20 minutes ago (I know I know it serves me right...) and it was 55 euros...they won't take any orders for the hardened edition because they have already pre-sold more stock than they have. The guy in the shop said he would refund me if i could book a copy of the hardened edition anywhere else but I tried xtravision and they were in the same situation. I'd say queue early to anyone not wanting to be disappointed if you've pre-booked! If tesco was 24 hour here in Bray i'd get a refund and get it there but its not worth the petrol/hassle to me to venture elsewhere. Last time I tried to get a midnight release in tesco the staff were clueless.

    Anybody know if tesco will be selling the hardened edition, I don't know if its their style to sell special editions of games.

    I'm fairly certain it is going on sale at midnight. But the branch I rang doesn't do 24 hour opening so it looks like I'll be getting up early tomorrow!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 98 ✭✭Sols12


    Any news on the PC version?

    Not too sure. Tesco don't sell PC games. At least not in my local one. I'd imagine that it could be bought anywhere for €40/€45 in most retailers. Wouldnt bother paying more than that, but that's just me.
    Just dont go and buy it on Steam. It's €60. The game uses Steamworks, so it will be added to your Steam games list.

    amazon might drop their price at midnight/tomorrow morning, they're just not doing it yet because they'd have to give that price to everyone via their pre-order price guarantee


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 885 ✭✭✭kendragon


    Anyone else confirm this price in Tesco?

    Price confirmed for €43.95 Tesco Coonagh Cross, Limerick. On sale at midnight!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,055 ✭✭✭suppafly


    Thats a really good price for anywhere. The cheapest I found it online was asada.co.uk and it was 34.95(€40.50) so I would def buy it in tesco instead of having to wait a week for the sake of 3 euro


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 885 ✭✭✭kendragon


    Anyone know if the crescent s.c. limerick Tesco will have copies of this after midnight? I know they usually close the four seasons section.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,900 ✭✭✭daytob


    despite the fact that there is a stand, its empty you need to go up to the 2 cashiers working they have the games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,306 ✭✭✭blahblah06


    Just got mine in tesco artane


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 998 ✭✭✭Chriscl1


    Just got mine in tesco monread. There are about 25 copies of the 360 version and more of the ps3. Glad I didn't go in at midnight now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 601 ✭✭✭mgsrocks


    Just picked one up in Clarehall, loads left on both formats.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 885 ✭✭✭kendragon

    Didn't see it, and I doubt they will.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,531 ✭✭✭blobert


    Hi guys, is this likely to be a 1 day only price or will I still be able to pick one of these up tomorrow in Tesco for same price?

    I think the fable offer was only for a day or two. This might be the same.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 948 ✭✭✭DJ Hafez


    Loads left in Tesco Douglas


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73 ✭✭he man rugger


    Sold out in Rathfarnham, a crushing blow! May check Nutgrove after dinner. It really puts the problems people are facing in the recession into perspective when I can't get my copy of the new COD. :(

    Thanks for the alert!

    They had plenty left in the Square Tesco in Tallaght. I just picked it up :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44 Seldon


    Tesco did a similar release for Fable 3 (€35 :eek:) for the day of release only. So it'll probably be the same for COD.

    Tesco Drogheda the stand is empty but if you ask at the customer desk they might have a few back there.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 9,982 ✭✭✭mik_da_man


    Cheers OP - Got mine in Douglas - Loads still left

    The fable 3 price lasted a couple of days at least, I got it the day after it came out for that price

    Any one know if there is any left in tesco Dundrum/Nutgrove/Tallaght or any where near by?

    I know Dundrum was sold out last night, so I assume they didn't get more stock already.

    Thanks

    Last night, about 8o'clock there was about 4 of each left in Nutrgove. id imagine they are gone now, unless they restocked since.

    Just picked this up, I got the PC version, but the multiplayer is broken right now. I'll just sell this on whenever they fix the PC version.

    Tesco in Galway SC had 100+ copies for 360 and PS3 between the main store and the smaller electronics/dvd/game/clothes store.

    Were they still at the cheaper price?
