This was actually pretty good last time I went to it. Got a couple of decent games and a brand spanking new PS2 for 50 quid.

Definitely on, heard an ad on the radio for it yesterday. Does anybody know what the Hannspree TV's are like?

Is it worth getting a blu-ray player? My dvd player is a bit dodgy, is €50 a good price for a blu-ray player and do they make a difference in the quality?

open 12 to 8 on friday & 10 to 4 on saturday according to their Facebook .

Gonna go see can i get a iPhone speaker dock for cheap enough .

assuming you have a HDTV and plan on buying or renting blu-rays then yes, i'd say so as it will still play all your DVD's and will likely do a better job of it than your old DVD player.

I got a HDMI xbox 360 in the last one I went to for €99, with a post-Jasper chipset (i.e. less likely to overheat and cause the RROD - http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081201130404AASO96k).

Anyone looking for a cheap console should definitely go along, even if it's not in that list above. There'll be a big pile of XB and PS3 consoles and you'll likely not find them cheaper anywhere. I also got some fairly recent games for quite cheap - Ghostbusters and Bioshock 2 for less than a tenner for both as I recall.

Anyone know if they'll take Credit and Laser cards at this?

They did for me. They'll have a few tills set up, just like paying for something at a regular Xtravision.

It will probably be a scrum I'm thinking?

It's a big room with loads of people wandering around. It's open all weekend so it won't always be wedged. That said the stuff is mostly set up in big piles. First there will get the best picks. I went on the Sunday previously and there were dozens of PS3s and XBoxes left, hundreds of games as well.

Anyone actually have the flyer/email that they can post here?

Mizu_Ger · 05-04-2012 3:12pm

Can someone tell me where exactly on the Naas road this is? For google map purposes

Easiest thing is to search for Green Isle Hotel on Google Maps, I'd have thought?

robz18 · 05-04-2012 5:08pm

reckon they'd be selling PS3 controls at a decent price? ...might trek it out

The Green Isle Hotel is located approx 1km on the Naas side of Newlands Cross.
Driving along the Naas Rd towards Dublin after junction 2 you will pass the Green Isle on your left just before you reach Newlands Cross. After the hotel take the first left turn and immediately left again. The entrance is on your left at approx 500m.

Driving out of Dublin simple way is to go through Newlands Cross, pass Green Isle on your right, take next exit at junction 2, take 3rd exit off roundabout, cross over Naas Rd, take 3rd exit off roundabout, follow road and hotel is on your right at approx 500m.
