Nice wan, was able to cancel my original order of kane and lynch and harvest moon, and reorder it with brink and stranglehold. Saved me 2 quid or got me an extra game whichever you look at it :P

ShagNastii · 15-12-2011 1:10pm

Beatles rockband is a must buy. A fine little game definitely in my top 10 ever.

mcgovern · 15-12-2011 1:19pm

Brink seems to have gone upto €18 now, I shouldn't have waited so long!

mr.noobie · 15-12-2011 1:19pm

brink is €17.97

Site seems to crash or hang if you so much as look at it. Woeful.

To be fair, it took a lot longer than that.

I posted it over 3 hours ago on HUKD.ie / Gaming Bargains thread.

It was available (and sold out) yesterday too, so it might come back in stock.

Cherry_Cola · 15-12-2011 2:58pm

I've missed it both times now by a matter of minutes. Hopefully it'll be back soon.

mcgovern · 15-12-2011 3:01pm

I got an e-mail to say part of my order from yesterday was cancelled due to lack of stock, can't get onto see what it was, but its either Kane & Lynch 2, or Jumper.

Tidyweb · 15-12-2011 3:06pm

Harvest Moon: Magical Melody (Nintendo Wii)
Geometry_Wars_Galaxies (Nintendo Wii)

I bought these 2 for my nephew, are they any good or even worth €6 in total

Both are 8 / 10 on IGN.com..

.. so yeah, they're well worth the €6.

Well kane and lynch 2 is still in stock and available to order on the site, so maybe email them about it and get it reordered?

Cherry_Cola · 15-12-2011 3:13pm

I ordered Kane and Lynch 2 yesterday but haven't gotten an email so it's more than likely Jumper that was cancelled.

Ciag · 15-12-2011 3:14pm

Anyone been able to create a new account?
No joy here server error message everytime.

Both, thanks for saying about the checkout as visitor, worked a charm

Tidyweb · 15-12-2011 3:52pm

how do you search for cds and dvds

Tricky alright. Can't see any of the titles in the offer in the clearance section or when you browse by format and then sort by price. Not ideal.

What's the link to the HUKD.ie thread?

It's a site..

.. you can browse the various Gamestop Ireland deals here.

I know HUKD is a site, I just couldn't see the specific thread on there discussing these GameStop deals.

There is no specific thread.. just various deals.

Anyways, can be browsed using the above link.

Yeah I meant from when I saw it to when I went to buy it.

Hope that theyre both cancelled..for your own sake..K&L2 is one of the most awful games i have ever had the misfortune of playing

I played the demo a while back and thought it was decent, and always wanted to pick it up on the cheap. 2 quid is a super deal, if only for one play through, if theres a decent online community, then thats a bonus. The art style and the way the camera is done like a youtube video is a brilliant idea.

I've seen lots of "deals" in this thread for far worse games at stupid prices (€30 upwards!!). Im going to be getting a Wii (finally) in the sales after xmas, so picked up geometry wars and harvest moon. Look like decent little games.

brenmartin1986 · 15-12-2011 7:42pm

bout time they realised it's better to sell off at a super low price rather than have this stuff sit somewhere forever, games shud be played, not horded, nice one.

Basq · 20-12-2011 12:23pm

Just got a full refund from Gamestop myself..

.. not happy! :mad:

joe250 · 20-12-2011 12:26pm

Just got refund to.

Not happy either.
Last time I will buy from them amazon all the way.

kearneybobs · 20-12-2011 12:40pm

Did they say why? Error in pricing? They normally take the money immediately so they should really be supplying you with the game.

Basq · 20-12-2011 12:42pm

Absolutely nothing - just a Paypal refund..

.. that's what annoyed me the most.

Unprofessionalism at it's best!

Might be worth emailing them. That really is bad practice if they're gonna accept your order, wait, then refund with no explanation. Tut tut Gamestop.

joe250 · 20-12-2011 12:48pm

Not even a note with the paypal refund

kearneybobs · 20-12-2011 12:56pm

Basq, maybe mention how involved you are in HUKD. They might change their mind.

Not worth it..

Yeah. It would leave a bitter taste in my mouth if it were to happen to me.

Yep - one of them was a game for my nephew for Christmas too... lousy!

Placed the order 5 days ago.. either they had the stock or didn't.

Ah well - not worth getting pissed off about.

Tinie · 20-12-2011 1:02pm

If mine get cancelled, then thats a real spanner in the works since the games were meant as christmas present for the bro! Annoying as the UK site delivered all the games to my mate in London, he got the xbox and wii ones for a quid each and got them delivered... not sure why we always get screwed over here in the republic !

I've emailed them so will have to wait for a reply.

board_stiff · 20-12-2011 1:16pm

I ordered some games too as Christmas presents. So far I've only received an order confirmed and payment confirmed email. They said in the email that once the games were shipped another email would be sent. I've just emailed them asking for an update but it's not looking good.

danois · 20-12-2011 1:17pm

My order is still showing as confirmed and no refund so far but i presume if it hasnt shipped yet it wont.

ldxo15wus6fpgm · 20-12-2011 1:35pm

Ordered 3 games, cancelled, no explanation, xmas presents for brother and sister down the pipe. ****ing raging.

EDIT: Just to rub salt in the wound, no refund. They only took my money yesterday according to the bank.

Cherry_Cola · 20-12-2011 1:46pm

That's quite strange, I received my games in the post on saturday. Have any of you placed orders with the site before?

mcgovern · 20-12-2011 1:48pm

I got my Kane & Lynch 2 on Friday, it was Jumper that got cancelled for me.

Numerous..

Nollog · 20-12-2011 2:09pm

I got kayne and lynch doggies after the initial posting in the gaming bargains thread in games>games.

lindtee · 20-12-2011 2:16pm

Ordered a few games and haven't gotten a refund or heard anything about the order. Trying to get on the gamestop site now to see what stage my order is at but it won't load:mad: (Edit - Order flipping cancelled and no refund and no contact, will not be ordering from them again)
