    Shop staff told me this ends Monday, hope you get your games on time!

    Great offer, got rid of Assassins and Metal Gear for it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭WarZoneBrother


    Is the Gamestop 2 for €30 deal only online or is it also in-store?

    EDIT:

    Some games I found on gamestop deal that work with xtravision deal:

    Devil May Cry HD Collection - PS3
    Dragons Dogma: Dark Arisen - Xbox 360
    Mario and Sonic at the London Olympics 2012 Nintendo - 3DS
    Tomb Raider Trilogy - PS3
    Sonic Classic Collection Nintendo - DS

    On the Xtravision deal it seems to just say DS for the likes of the 3DS games so I don't know what that means..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,139 ✭✭✭martineatworld


    Call of Duty MW Wii
    Monster Hunter Tri Wii

    Was trying to sell them on adverts for 8 quid a pop, and now they can be traded in against this instead.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭WarZoneBrother


    Spiderman Edge of Time - Wii (9euro online)
    Dood's Big Adventure UDraw - Wii (10euro online)
    Hasbro Game Night 4 - Wii (10euro online)
    Mario and Sonic at Winter Olympics - Wii (10euro online)
    Monopoly Collection - Wii (10euro online)
    Need for Speed: The Run - Wii (13euro online)
    Warioland: The Shake Dimension - Wii (8euro online)
    X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Wii (10euro online)
    Sin and Punishment: Successor of the Skies - Wii (8euro online)
    Sid Meiers Pirates - Wii (6euro online)

    Some of these are sold out online... Will be updating with Nintendo DS games next then maybe Xbox 360 games..

    Hoping the price of these games are in or around that in-store @ gamestop ... If so could be looking at getting The Last of Us for 25euro will try and track down more games to see which come out as the cheapest, shame the deal is over on Monday though :(


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


    there's a few of the games listed as part of the 2 for €30 deal in gamestop, devil may cry, F1 race stars, one of the just dance games. so if there's not time to wait for games to be delivered you can still get the last of us for €35,

    in my xtravision they were also including grid 2, dead island riptide and something else along with the last of us as games you could get for €4.99 with two from the list, not sure if that's the same for all xtravisions.

    Anyone know the cheapest place to get this game in Dublin?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭WarZoneBrother


    Few DS and Xbox 360 games maybe worth looking out for cheap in Gamestop ..

    Face Training - DS (10euro online)
    Professor Layton Pandoras Box - DS (10euro online)
    Professor Layton The Lost Future - DS (10euro online)
    Zelda Spirit Tracks - DS (12euro online)
    Crash of the Titans - 360 (12euro online)
    Damnation - 360 (10euro online)
    Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters - 360 (12euro online)
    Powerup Heroes - 360 (10euro online)

    Face Training and either of the Professor Layton games along with Damnation would probably be cheap in store if you can find them...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,283 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Tried to get this offer in my local store, one that is closing the staff member dealing with me wouldn't honour the deal,I am lucky I got a Joel edition in the same store an hour earlier, both of my games were definitely on the list,more bull**** for me in Xtravision.

    bad going that should try a different store,i was in portlaoise today and got it they had the list inal infront of them but the store manager wasnt able to get the offer to work even do the games were on it she just ended up discounting the game down herself and gave it to me and said she would sort her end out herself later


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 69 ✭✭BreakingBadLad


    Thanks johnf26 for this brilliant deal, wasnt planning to get the last of us until later this year (cos funds are low) but now two old wii games i havent played in years are going to good use :D

    Do you have to have the case and booklet for trade-ins?

    As I have two games from the list but one of them is without
    its original case and booklet. Obviously would be very embarrassing
    if I went down and they didn't accept it!! :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,283 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Usually you would need the case at the very least so the store can scan the barcode, may be try to download a scan of the cover for the game.

    Ah yea they scan the barcodes I'd forgotten about that.
    Don't think Ill chance my arm with it so. :P

    Anyone know which of the games on the list would be cheapest in gamestop?

    I have GTA

    Any of the Professor Laytons might be cheap in gamestop, Zelda Spirit Tracks, Warioland: The Shake Dimension, Crash of the Titans (xbox) or Damnation (xbox)

    All of these should be relatively cheap..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 641 ✭✭✭johnf26


    face training is only 9.99 was just in gamestop portlaoise and they had loads of them in stock im sure others have them to and are on the list for xtravision

    Darn it rang Gamestop about 10mins ago just asked if they had Warioland and Sid Meires Pirates they had none.. Maybe they will have Face Training though... Might call into Xtravision first as apparently theres a deal with 3 for 20euro on PS3 games with games that will work on Gamestop deal for 10er...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,204 ✭✭✭elfy4eva


    Called into Xtra-Vision in Galway S.C. the staff said they were sold out
    and weren't sure when they'd have more in.

    Oh well spose I can wait! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,562 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    In xtravision in Strabane and in letterkenny, they were sold out. Said the offer was until June 28. Just as long as don't get stuck with the games. :)

    Would it cheeky to buy a game thats on the list from xtra vison they had Max Payne for 15 euro a few weeks ago:D

    Max payne isn't on the xtra vision list but if you see anything in there that's on the list pick it up but don't do it all in the one transaction, bring it off and take off all the xtravision stickers and either get something else to go back in or else leave it a couple of hours to go back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,330 ✭✭✭niallon


    A few games on that list have been in a buy one get one free in Smyths the last month or two. Don't know how many of them would still be in stock at this stage but worth checking. One of the imagine 3ds games, doods big adventure, ufc trainer and dance central 3 off the top of my head.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,784 ✭✭✭Damien360


    There is limited stock available for the offer . Newbridge had 10 copies of last of us and they were sold out last night . All if Kildare sold out. 6 copies in portlaoise as of 11am today.

    I bought mine in GameStop for €10 deal. Again limited stock for deal as he expected stock to be cleared by 2pm.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,875 ✭✭✭kn


    Xtravision to close 40 of their 130 outlets according to the Sindo. There will be stock sales in the units to close.

    Got this deal in Letterkenny yesterday morning despite a hiccup. The girl could initially deal with it as the manager wasn't there :eek: Had to call back an hour later.

    So it's your fault I didn't get one? :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 592 ✭✭✭ccull123


    Does anyone know of anywhere in Dublin city that this is in stock for the ps3???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,614 ✭✭✭The Sparrow


    Went to Stillorgan but they were out of stock and they said everywhere was. I asked how long the trade in deal would last and I was told a couple of weeks at least and they will definitely have it back in stock before the deal is over.

    Although, with branch closing signs everywhere I can't see them getting much extra stock in. Shame as it would have been a sweet deal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,562 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    They wouldn't change the list of games accepted, would they?

    Why in the name of god would you do that?

    If the game is on the trade in list why wouldn't they accept it?

    each to their own but i'd feel a bit silly buying a game then before I even take it off the counter asking him to trade it back in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,528 ✭✭✭TomCo


    Can you trade in 2 copies of the same game?

    TomCo wrote: »

    I don't think you can if they're both for the same console but you can if they're for different consoles, for example you can't trade in 2 copies of devil may cry for ps3 but you can trade in 1 devil may cry for ps3 and 1 devil may cry for xbox.

    that's how it works in gamestop anyway, maybe xtravision is slightly different. could always ring and ask because at least then you're not making a wasted trip.

    If people keep listing the prices they are paying for games such as Max Payne for €15 etc, Xtravision may well change the list, it is always the danger of such offers being posted here, if they don't change the list they may remove some of the many games listed on here.

    No offence meant, just an easy mistake many make when posting deals or offers on here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,528 ✭✭✭TomCo


    CEX on Liffey Street have a couple of the Wii and ps3 titles on the ganestop list for €15. Handy enough given how close CEX and gamestop are, not the cheapest option though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,330 ✭✭✭niallon


    Went into Xtra Vision in naas about this offer on Sunday and I was told it's ongoing and that it will be back in stock Thursday. I'll report back here if I manage to pick up a copy but this doesn't seem to be a once off (first batch of stock etc) offer


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 636 ✭✭✭anirishlad


    So if I trade in mario kart and wii party ill get this for a fiver?
