    Wow, holder and Tennis reduced from €72.94 to €19.99!!!

    Cheaper than tennis on it's own!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,763 ✭✭✭alastair_doom


    Great find. Ordered Mario Kart 7, and NSMB.

    Thanks OP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 554 ✭✭✭TotallyEpic


    Damn, if I didn't have all those 3DS games already :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,614 ✭✭✭Nollog


    I'm curious is Mario Tennis the Wii NPC game, or the 3DS game?
    And the same issue with NSMB is it the Wii game or DS game?

    Not a very descriptive offer...

    NSMB is the Wii game, Tennis is the 3DS game

    If you add them to your cart it will show you a picture of the game (or if you search for the games on the site it has the offer written next to those games)

    When I did it with Mario kart 7, there was an image of the game. Also, if you search through the "summer offers" and find the game you want to try to add, the option should be there to add to the "Mario Holder" bundle


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,614 ✭✭✭Nollog


    My order just had a picture of the mario holder thing.
    I searched all the titles and the bundle shows up on the ones it applies to.
    I linked them all above.


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


    Excellent find OP. Just ordered there. Fingers crossed it's not some mistake and they do something Gamestop-like and cancel our orders.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,228 ✭✭✭robman60


    Wow, excellent offer. I presume it's available in their stores as well as online?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 981 ✭✭✭Decoda


    Thanks op...I know one very happy 7 year old that's going to love their new Mario holder.

    Really appreciate it:)

    I don't know. The savings suggest it could be an error. You can pay by visa, laser or paypal online so if you can, I would!

    I doubt it. Their in-store prices never match their online prices.

    I was in their store one time and asked one of the guys why there was such a difference in prices between the website and in-store. His answer was: "Well, eh, they're able to sell stuff cheaper on the website coz they're posting it directly to your house"

    Riiiiiiight. Cheers mate.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,115 ✭✭✭Completionist


    2 games and 2 holders for just over the price of 1 game... Will finally have games to play on my 3ds now... >_>


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 350 ✭✭TriStar6


    Gone for the Tennis, Hope it works out, Thanks OP


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,096 ✭✭✭✭the groutch


    CeX on Liffey Street offer €22 cash for Mario Kart 7, giving you the holder free


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,115 ✭✭✭Completionist


    1 Super Mario 3D Land
    1 Mario Statue 3DS Holder
    1 Mario Kart 7
    1 Mario Statue 3DS Holder
    1 Super Mario 3D Land
    1 Mario Statue 3DS Holder
    1 Mario Kart 7
    1 Mario Statue 3DS Holder

    Not sure why, But it is showing up as If I ordered 4 games and 4 statues, Even thought the total is still only for the 2 >_>

    Some people have very short memories when it comes to the showers of shite that are commonly known as gamestop.ie :mad::mad:

    I don't have a short memory, I just don't see a reason to shoot myself in the foot avoiding a potentially excellent bargain just because the company is ****e. If they want to sell my cheap games fine, I won't complain:)

    It either works and I get 2 games and 2 statues for the price of 1 game, Or it doesn't work and nothing is lost or gained. It is a win win situation.

    You mad?
    I got my game from that whole debacle so they didn't do me any wrong. :p
    Not a fan of their practises, but a bargain is a bargain.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,228 ✭✭✭robman60


    Took a previous poster's advice and ordered mine there.

    To anyone who already owns Mario Kart 7, I'd definitely recommend Mario Tennis Open as a second choice. Really fun game.

    I've no idea why a Mario holder made this so cheap, but I Just picked up Mario Tennis.

    Thanks OP!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,284 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Bunch on idiots have gone overboard on this on Hotukdeals, if it doesn't get cancelled I will eat my hat.
    for the purpose of this challenge my hat is a Big Mac.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 302 ✭✭Brasso


    Thanks OP, hope my order isn't cancelled now, I ordered Super Mario 3D land.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 831 ✭✭✭daingeanrob

    Had a look on the thread, It just seems to be the one person who ordered 4 games but because the system is buggy(See my post above) it shows up sometimes as if you ordered double.

    sorry I should have phrased my post better,the guys on hotukdeals went crazy buying loads of the deal and it was removed quite fast from gamestop.co.uk.

    even now it is still available on the Irish site. I myself ordered 2 times after 4pm, one tennis and one Mario Kart so I hope it does go through.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 106 ✭✭jibberjive


    Ordered two games Mario with wii wheel & New Mario Bros will be very happy if these arrive at €42 that will be santa started for this year :-)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,678 ✭✭✭TrustedApple


    Don't need it just looking for the mario stand to add to Ezio and marcus fenix figs on my shelf

    If i do get it i WILL be selling the game for 22 or so euros

    Well, they removed NSMB Wii and MK Wii so it's hardly a mis-price if they removed some games but not Mario Tennis, which should really be way more expensive.

    Statue is now OOS:(

    Was going to order tennis as everyone else seems to have done so:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,965 ✭✭✭Cherry_Cola

    Are you sure? I just ordered Mario Tennis and the statue holder literally a minute ago. Try it again! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,115 ✭✭✭Completionist


    Gah!

    Tis coming up as OOS here and I don't have the option of adding it on the bundle to get the discount price:(

    Yeah I used the link from the OP, but it isn't showing the holder in the "add to cart" right now, might be too late.

    Should have jumped on this yesterday :mad: Had my 3ds since October and the only games I have are Rayman and Res Evil and Transformers which are all really repetitive :( DoA on the way from Zavvi for under €20 instead of Mario :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,115 ✭✭✭Completionist


    Finally got my order in, Seems the statue is going in and out of stock so keep checking:)

    Argh!!!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,763 ✭✭✭alastair_doom


    cancelled. claiming stock shortages. Disappointing since i got my order in right after it was posted here.

    Coupon for free shipping tho. meh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,965 ✭✭✭Cherry_Cola


    Same, kinda expected it though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,076 ✭✭✭steve_r


    yep, cancelled as well.

    Am I right in saying that the shipping to ROI via an Post is €2 regardless of the amount of items, or could the free shipping get you the quickest possible delivery?

    After the WiiU thing, this is the second time Boards users have been got on Nintendo products.......


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,139 ✭✭✭Red Crow


    Bad form from Gamestop.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33,733 ✭✭✭✭Myrddin


    What a bunch of clowns, letting people still buy items that arn't in stock. Some inventory system they have running there :rolleyes:

    Free shipping code: GSIEFreeShipping18/6


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,614 ✭✭✭Nollog

    lol, I will use this as a learning experience in the future, so as to never use their website for anything again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,115 ✭✭✭Completionist


    Wonder if everyone is getting cancelled?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,614 ✭✭✭Nollog


    My Order Status is still Confirmed despite the email, and I ordered it about 3pm

    Not saying I trust their system though, of course.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73 ✭✭homerzero


    i don't know why i even bothered to order this . same story with every offer from gamestop . this is absolutly the last time i even look at one of thier offers .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,942 ✭✭✭stesaurus


    I got in pretty early and it was also cancelled. I'd say they never intended on supplying.
