Dead Space 2 on XB360 - €23.99

Sappy404

I was looking at the Argos latest deals fold-out supplement and saw Dead Space 2 was listed as €23.99 for the Xbox 360. It's full price (€49.99) on the system but customer service reduced it for me when I showed them the deal.

Cheapest I can find elsewhere is €29.99 on Play.com. PS3 version was full price.

Basq

It's available in Argos UK for £23.99 (GBP) for both the Xbox 360 and PS3.

So would expect a similar price over here alright.. but no reduction is listed on the website yet.

isn't there the fold out bits in-store? maybe if it's in that, you could just bring it up to the till and get it for that price. will have a look when i'm in there later

It is in that. That's where I saw it, and that's exactly what I did - as per my original post

on the in store stock checker, it's coming up as 23.99, at least in galway, as opposed to €50 online. only 1 left in galway around 2pm today, would have got it except i've enough games to be playing after adding ME2 to the pile yesterday :P

And i've it reserved whohohohahahhahahaha

Spotted it on sale for €29.99 in my local HMV at lunch on PS3 and Xbox 360..

.. so not a bad alternative if you've no Argos nearby.

Sappy404

I was in Dundrum and checked the Argos there. It was 23.99 on their system as well so it looks to have been changed properly.

Ginny

It seems once someone points it out they change it on the shop system, it came up as €49.99 in Swords for me, but they changed it on the system once I pointed it out.
Oh there's one left in Swords now AFAIK.

Adyx

It's €28.45 on Zavvi.com for the Xbox and PS3 versions, the PC version is €17.99. It says free shipping on all orders but I don't know if that applies to Ireland.

yoshytoshy

Is it better than the first one ?

dunworth1

reserved one in the cruises street store in limerick going to head in tomorrow and hopefully i can get it for 23.99.

i'm on midterm next week so this would be great

Healium

Excellent! Must try and get it at this price in Kilkenny tomorrow. Think it'd be dodgy to try and pick up 2 copies, one for a friend?

Not in the slightest

Mr Trade In

Has any Dublin store refused to honor the price.

dont think cant honor the price as in in the leaflet in the store

rivalius13

How long is the deal on for? Guessing the leaflet has an expiration date on it.

conor86

cheer this pick one up in athlone.

Their offering a prices of 23.99 and legally have too sale it at that prices, no question. It could be a mistake of a great deal,, dont matter

Sappy404

If you get any hassle tell them to call one of the stores that have it reduced on their system. Dundrum had it at €23.99 yesterday and somebody mentioned another store had it officially reduced as well.

This isn't true, prices shown are an invitation to treat (make an offer), they dont have to honor prices shown online, in a store leaflet, or on a shelf.

Spazdarn

Regardless, I wouldn't mind selling one or two of these off to cover getting the game for free!

glynf

HMV in Liffey Valley are selling Dead Space 2 for PC for 22 euro's, also dead rising 2 for PC @ 16.99.

They dont legally have to sell it at that price..Its good customer service to do that but if it was a mistake on their system all they have to say is that when your at the counter there was a mistake in the system and its actually being sold for x amount

evad_lhorg

I just bought it there in jervis(last one) and I didnt even need to say anything about any leaflets. It was just 23.99

rivalius13

Bought it in Cavan, had to point out the leaflets, guessing I was the first in the store to go for the offer and it's been updated now.

ah right grand thanks, re read the topic a few times thought someone had posted a link..

I nipped into Argos in Jevis Street at lunchtime to get this game, it was €49.99 on the system but when I asked about the offer I was told that it had already ended which is unfortunate.

I grabbed the leaflet anyway and when I went back to work I read on the cover that all offers must end on the 22nd which is today so surely it still should have been €23.99 until closing time today?!?!?!

Write a report on that to the HQ, outline there that their terms and conditions are vague, they should include a time, even a minute.

Mr Trade In

If the offer sheet was still on the shop floor, you should have got it at the offer price as it is up until close of business today which would have been 18:30.

Raekwon

I went back after work and got it. I had to go to the customer service desk though because the girl at the till (not the same one) told me that the price was back upto €49.99 because the offer ends today. The manager was cool about it though, he simply over-rided the price on the system and I paid €23.99 for it. Glad I went back now.

Raekwon

Btw is there any reason why this game has dropped so drastically in price only a few weeks after it was launched? I saw it in HMV for €29.99 and in Gamestop in for €34.99, both reduced from €49.99

Result Raekwon!

Was wondering that myself, what's with these new games getting a price crash so quickly after release? Fallout: New Vegas comes to mind, but maybe that was due to the initial glitchiness.

James Howlett

At a guess I'd say that the publisher or supplier wanted to lower the price to shift as many copies as possible. A lot of big titles have come out/ are coming out since Dead Space 2 was released (Marvel Vs Capcom 3, Killzone 3, Bulletstorm).

People only have so much money so they wanted a piece of it before the competition got in there.

Again that's just my guess, I'm still happy to have gotten it at a such a reduced price

That makes perfect sense actually, thanks!
