    Trade in Forza, PES, Batman or Gears of War and get it for 99c in GAME...

    Ive used the catwoman DLC code with Batman. Would it affect trading it in for BF 3?

    No I've never heard of a store looking for the DLC that came with a game when trading in.

    Anyone know why the limited edition is cheaper than the normal version on amazon? And does everyone basically get the limited edition version?

    The only thing I could see the standard edition having is maybe a instruction manual, because in Limited Edition theres no bloody manual... Is this the way games are going to go now?... F*ck off and go look for the manual online? Is that what there telling us?... No I don't want to do that, I prefer paying the money and having the manual nice to find when I am playing a game so I can see what to do...

    Looks like it, Forza 4, Batman, and gears of war 3 all did the saving the pennies with no manual stunt.

    It's also a massive waste of paper. I haven't looked at a manual in years. With in-game tutorials and the like they're really not needed any more.

    At these midnight openings, do many people turn up?
    Did anyone go to the one in the square in Tallaght? How many were there?

    Intended to but did not have a pre-order and still hadn't decided to wait or not.

    might drop onto HMV as they're cheap today.

    Without the pre order you won't get the "Karkand".
    I didn't pre order either, but not in too much of a hurry to buy it.

    The LE is in HMV and I'll be fine without the maps and with all this sony and Ea cooperation a psn plus offer might show up.

    They had a stack, may have got it as I went to counter rather than getting a box and said "can I get" he never looked for name or any thing.

    If you get it see if you got a code for a gun, want to know if it's diff to my 1911 I got.

    Also N7 dog tag.

    I was at the midnight launch in Monaghan... It was nothing compared to last years Black Ops midnight launch... Modern Warfare 3 is going to steal the show with it's midnight opening...

    Lad that served me hadn't a clue what I was talking about, started to think I wasn't getting it. Luckily another lad overheard me and got it for me.

    Same gun, M1911 - Not bothering with registering for it, seems more hassle than it's worth.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,605 ✭✭✭Fizman


    Just got an email off The Hut with a 10% discount code for the weekend, so that would make BF3:LE about €42.50 delivered or thereabouts I think.

    It has the mods at the start(light + suppressor), and you won't be using separate guns based on side.

    I got BF3 LE for the PC for E40. GAME Blanchardstown. I had pre-ordered but they had a stack of them in there.

    Also, purchased the Prima BF3 Official Game Guide for E12.99


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    Price in gamestop for this is grand.

    39.99 for pc and 49.99 for xbox. I was expecting way more for such title.

    I actually did get the gun. I must have an origin account. Maybe from BC2?

    What do you think of it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,613 ✭✭✭Lord Nikon


    What do you think of it?

    Well, considering there is no manual in the game box.... It has a lot of info in it. Definitly worth the read when not playing the game.

    It goes through all the weapons, each and everyone of them, and info on the new weapons that I didnt know existed too. Info on all the maps, and info on the SP missions too.

    it lists all the awards and ribbons and points needed for all the guns/attachments unlocks too. 13 quid wont break the bank either, considering the game was cheap. I was expecting to pay E60 for the game.

    You can download the game manuals here (they were released as PDFs).

    I'm a Battlefield noob and picked it up earlier in HMV for €44.99.
    Needed to find out the controls!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    Picked it up in Game which I never usually shop in as it was well out of my way but sure enough they gave it to me for 99c after trading in forza 4. HMV had the same offer but wanted 5.99 from me.

    Could have done with without the hard sell on the strategy guide though, told the guy I had no need for a phone book , it was so big lol :D

    Says you need to get in the gunclub but it did it for me without that.

    Have my N7 tag as well.

    God damnit this game is pretty epic online :p I hated the beta though, so much that I deleted it.. But said I would get the full game because it only be 99c and then trade it in for Uncharted 3 but I just don't know what to do now :confused:
