    Was in town earlier and in Game, (Ilac Centre) Skyrim (PS3) was 24.99.

    The Collectors edition (contains huge model dragon, coffee table book and more) was down from 160 to 84.99

    Also giving out free Game Loyalty Cards with every purchase (Apparently these are supposed to be a fiver each, not sure if they've ever charged that though)

    Can confirm.

    Picked it up for the PS3 (despite the bugs!) for 24.99 on Dawson Street.

    Damn, just ordered it on amazon for 22.49 sterling.

    i suppose it's only a small difference.

    +Delivery of 2 or 3 pounds though.

    Cheaper in Game.

    I honestly can't remember about the 360 price as I didn't go near that section.

    Unfortunately I leave nowhere near a game store so when I factor in the fuel costs and parking charges I am much better getting it delivered straight to the door.

    You may be better off alright.

    I was just ensuring people knew it would cost more than 22 to order from Amazon unless they bought something else to bring their order over 25 pounds and hence qualify for free delivery to the Republic.

    It's €24.99 on PS3 and XBOX360 and €22.99 on PC.


  • Site Banned Posts: 5,676 ✭✭✭jayteecork


    Pc version is actually dearer now on amazon.

    Sorry, prices above were for Game. Think I may have to pick up a copy after work


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,356 ✭✭✭NeVeR


    nice price... that game dropped in price so quickly


  • Site Banned Posts: 5,676 ✭✭✭jayteecork


    They have this deal in cork Patrick Street


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 200 ✭✭grudgebringer


    Can confirm that the XBOX 360 Skyrim was 24.99 in Liffey Valley Game earlier today, snapped it up, only 4 left on the shelf there when I got mine, think they were selling quickly!!

    I was there earlier today. They had plenty of copies on both 360 and ps3. Now to resist it..... I shouldn't have looked at the map. Now I must play it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 247 ✭✭irishbigfoot


    Thanks for the headsup OP- son desperately wanted the collectors edition and 160 was more than a bit steep for that. Picked one up in Game on Dawson St- had 2 left at the time but that was a couple of days ago.

    I had a a look in Game - Ilac Centre in Dublin. No PC version that I could see, plenty of the console versions.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,533 ✭✭✭Zonda999


    Thanks OP, just got this for the 360 in Game in Mahon Point SC in Cork. About an hour earlier, i tried Game in Patrick Street but they were out of stock. No idea bout the PS3 or PC versions, didn't ask..

    i lost interest in the last one after exiting the castle/caves - is there a bit more going on in this one?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,487 ✭✭✭Mountjoy Mugger


    Arrived yesterday from Game. No issue with the BT1 postcode. Thanks, OP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,002 ✭✭✭Cionád


    Last night none left in Ilac Centre, Dawson St or Blanch. They had them on the shelves but when I went to buy they said they were gone.

    Ordered it from Amazon in the end.

    same here, queued for a few minutes on my 30 minute lunch break with the game in my hand, got to the counter and was told it was out of stock :mad: perhaps it shouldn't be on the shelf then!! or it could be labelled out of stock!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,208 ✭✭✭keithclancy


    ffs ... 49.99 on Steam.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭Hogey007


    It's in stock in the Ilac centre now but at €39.99 so i guess this thread should now be marked expired.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,571 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    €49 in Game in Limerick (I went in especially, too... balls).

    i rang game in blanchardstown today to check availability for xbox 360 as it was out of stock the last few days,its back in stock but unfortunatly the price has increased to 39.99 its still the cheapest price around though as hmv/gamestop/xtravision are charging between 54.99 to 59.99


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,533 ✭✭✭Zonda999


    Easy to see why they had to increase the price on this, was an outrageous bargain at €25 in reality, highly recommend it for whatever price it is on amazon, great game in fairness


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 250 ✭✭Bruno Batista


    ffs ... 49.99 on Steam.
    Yeah, ridiculous!

    Want to buy it for the PC, and Gamestation in the UK apparently have it for 20 pounds.
    How the hell can a Steam download copy cost twice (and more) as much as a physical copy?!

    Anyone seen any good deals for the PC version around Dublin?

    Steam tend to go with the RRP from the publisher I think and don't price differentiate except when it comes to a sale. And people still buy these at that price in droves.

    I haven't seen it anywhere else at all in fact other than Game when it was €25. I had a browse around some of the main game shops the other day and most of them had next to no PC games in the first place.

    I'd say online is the best bet really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 133 ✭✭PhilieQuinn


    XBox and PS3 versions are £27 on amazon with free delivery which is still pretty good. £31.37 on PC


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,523 ✭✭✭machalla


    Skyrim on Steam is officially the fastest-selling title in Steam’s official history. Of course its not €50 a copy over in the US.
