    Anyone looking for computer games should give Asda.co.uk a try first! I was helping my mate look for DS games today, found Asda on BE Thrifty.ie, they
    were cheapest for pandoras box puzzle game by about a tenner!

    On top of that, they deliver here FREE and there's 8% cash back on be thrifty

    He ended up with 2 new release DS games for 50 odd euro, delivered and €4 cash back. One happy boy!

    Well he's ordered the games, input his delivery address and payment details ok, so I assume they do.

    I'll let you know if he gets them!

    Ordered from Asda plenty of times. They do deliver to the Rep.of Ireland. They belong to thehut.com umbrella of websites as far as I'm aware.

    Edit: not too sure about Asda.com actually. Anything I've ordered from Asda has been from the Asda Entertainment UK website.

    Think you're right brian, just checked the link he used to get to asda and it takes you to the asda.co.uk:

    here
    8% cash back offer here, both take you to the same place

    Quick update, mate got an email yesterday, games have been dispatched! No delivery charge! €54 for two of those professor Layton DS games, bargain compared to everywhere else. Got him using BeThrifty as well, so €4 cash back!

    For new prices they're not madly different to the other big dogs... Not sure where you're getting this price difference of a tenner from:confused:


    I've used them a few times and wouldn't hesitate to use them again, but there's no point in restricting yourself to only using one store;

    Well the first place i checked was Play, it's €42 there:eek:

    Checked a few others and their delivery wasn't free, and the cash back was nowhere near as generous.

    Thanks for the link btw, I'm not a gamer but I know some people who are!

    What did you put in the fields for uk postcode and uk phone number?

    Sorry got it sorted, when i searched for a game it was bringing me to asda.com instead!

    They have like 5 DS games (none of which is Pandora's Box), and amazon has it for €31. Definitely always use price comparisson sites when doing shopping like this. Randomly going to websites means you wont end up with the best deal.

    I use a thing called invisible hand. It's an addon for Firefox that compares the prices of games, dvds, books etc across multiple websites. Adsa, the hut, play.com, zavvi, amazon etc etc.
    It has it's bugs but it's incredibly useful and has saved me loadsa money over the last year or so. Sometimes it wont pick up certain productes because of slightly different product descriptions but it's really useful. Easy to turn on/off when you dont want or need it popping up.

    I'm pretty sure it's for Chrome and IE too.

    Hehe that's how I saw the amazon price :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 692 ✭✭✭gleep


    Just to confirm that the two games have arrived, one on Tuesday, the other today. Shipped from Guernsey, no extra charges, so delivery is free!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,127 ✭✭✭Linguo


    Ordered the new wrestling one for my boyfriend and should be 10-15 quid cheaper than the shops which is brilliant, thanks for the tip!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,934 ✭✭✭Dotcomdolly


    Brilliant - I just got Santa's Mario kart for €35, the used one+generic wheel came to €36 in gamestop.
    Cheers op!
