Black Friday is coming. Make sure that you are ready when we run our 12 hours of deals starting at 8am on November 25th. Follow us on Twitter or Like us on Facebook to be the first to know about our exclusive offers.

I remember this last year, some crackers in there! Although saying that, it's still GS and some games were still more expensive than HMV, etc. Saying that, I'll be keeping my eye on this for some deals

its cool that black friday is becoming something over here instead of just in the states, more places should do it.

Dunno if i can agree with that, more sales = good but more americanisation = very bad. Also at least 1 person usually dies thanks to black friday and the havoc and mayhem it causes in the states

I got an arcade bundle in French that was meant to be a free game that came with a controller !!

Second one was a blu ray but barely worth the fiver.

It was definitely a "do you want the boat or the box?
Ill take the box it could be anything, even a boat" moment

Ya those eejits are mental. Amazon.co.uk are having a great black friday sale as well. Online is where its at people!

Anyway, ya GS sale prices can be a joke sometimes but I remember getting Blur for PS3 for 2 euro, what a bargain.

deathrider

Dammit! I'm all types of broke this week. Otherwise I'd sink my teeth into some tasty deals.

Bonesy.

I know it's offtopic but does any body know if the trade in 3 games and get a new title for 3 euro still on? Can't find the list on the website

noobacus

Do all the game deals start from 8 or are they releasing them throughout the day?

Mc Love

cherryghost

First day after Thanksgiving in America and seen as the first day of the Xmas shopping period, so stores have ridiculous sales and generally get "in the black" financially with all the present buying over the next few weeks.

Also black as several dozen people will be trampled to death in rushes to enter stores in America to get cheap stuff.......go go capitalism

I'm heading into Gamestop in the morning to pick up a pre order, might have a look while I'm in there might get something dirt cheap.

Don't count on it , online and in store are two worlds when it comes to game stop herel

Healium

I'd imagine the UK and Irish sites will have the same deals. 8AM deal for GS UK will be Uncharted 3, think it's £24.97. Not sure if pre-owned or new, didn't say

Kiith

So Uncharted 3 is there for €24.97, but it says not available? Does that mean i missed the deal and it's sold out?

If so, **** you luas!

Yep it is gone. When I was on the page the option was still there to add to basket but it didn't work.

Zero-Cool

ah jaysus, too early for a deal that good! 9am deal coming up

dar83

Gears of War 3 - €32.97 is next up.

Shorty11857

Looks like I missed the Uncharted deal, damn. Gears seems like a decent price not sure if I want it though

dar83

Yeah it's funny, Uncharted is the only big release left at the moment that I dont have and would be looking to buy.

Hopefully they might throw it up again later on in the day for those of us that have to leave the house for work. :P

They did last year if I remember, or maybe it was one of the other madness sales they ran. They put all the deals back up at the end of they but there was many out of stock.

Yeah I somewhat remember that as well, thats why I still hold a glimmer of hope of getting UC3 for about €27, which would be nice.

Shorty11857

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood for 20 euro, meh not great

Kiith

€12 pre-owned is decent value though.

swine

Ass Bro wasn't worth the F5.

I predict 3DS for 100 notes at midday.

Why do you think that!? I would be seriously tempted.

Kiith

As would i. Would probably end up in a drawer withing 6 weeks though.

swine

Its totally groundless speculation on my part, I dont work for gamestop or anything.

That said these rolling offers tend to offer at least one hardware offer, and I believe the DS featured before.

Wouldn't be surprised if there was an offer for a DS... lite. Pre-owned. For €70. :P

Zero-Cool

Next offer PS3 Dualshock 3 Controller €24.97 http://www.gamestop.ie/37879_PlayStation_3_PS3_Dualshock_3_Controller.aspx

djkeogh

Assassins Creed Brotherhood offer was really pretty poor seeing as I got it from Play brand new for the pre-owned price just this week.

Zero-Cool

no DS at midday anyway

Next offer Spiderman: Edge Of Time on PS3/360 €31.97

iMuse

Great deal on spiderman..........not. Its £19 on amazon

hdowney

i presume i go onto gamestop then click on the black friday yoke, do i then refresh every so often to see what they have added new or wha?

Atomic Pineapple

Zero-Cool

Ya, they're not getting the best response on FB either. Pity that Uncharted deal was on so early. Wonder how many copies they were selling.

Zero-Cool

#BlackFriday Deal - Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 on Xbox 360 or PS3 €18.97 while stocks last! http://ow.ly/7ERb4


uuugggghhhhhhhh

noobacus

what a waste of a sale........so far, i wonder is it a bit much to hope that it will improve later

kearneybobs

Battlefield 3 incoming. Should be around the €28 mark for console version i think.

Just saw on twitter €24.97 (+€2 delivery too). I wasnt far off with my guess conversion from the UK price I saw on twitter.

Website is struggling atm.

Is that good for BF3? I'm tempted but haven't been keeping an eye on game prices lately, work buying now?
