Cheap physical copy games in Dublin.

Seaaan

Where can I.get cheap physical pc games in Dublin city?

Shiminay

Short answer: no where

Not as short: there aren't too many places that sell hard copies of PC games, but I've had success in Gamestop and before they went wallop, HMV. New PC titles tend to be around the €45 mark, but it's been ages since I bought anything in a bricks n mortar.

You can buy Steam credit in Gamestop, so that might be a possibility for you.

If you don't mind second hand games you can get some on adverts.ie.

Imagine getting Batman origins for 17 euro online! Not a chance you'll get that price in any shop

Given that pretty much every significantly sized release of the last 5 or 6 years on PC has an activation code (which isn't something you can resell), how would buying second hand work?

Now that Visa debit is common with all the banks there's nothing stopping you buying online bar the large downloads.

Lord Gaben will be displeased with you!

I've since found out that pretty much every significantly sized release of the last 5 or 6 years on PC has an activation code, which isn't something you can resell so buying second hand wouldn't work.

Try downloading a 5-10gb file with 3broadband.. 40gb data cap, 52€ per gb exceeding said cap. ~130kb download average. Ye, good luck

In that case try http://www.ie.wowhd.com/ deliver to Ireland and are probably cheaper than most shops. The delivery is slow taking about two weeks.

Aight ill try that so! Have enough games for 1-2 weeks anyway, really wanna test my graphics card with some intense titles

Any of the Batman titles look amazing on PC. Tomb raider is another one that looks great and is pretty cheap anywhere I've seen it.

Seaaan

I was considering Batman, but I'll get Tomb Raider too if its cheap! Thanks for help/advice/recommendations!

Shiminay

I got Tomb Raider in a Steam midweek sale for €12.50 I think - absolute bargain. Game looks and plays great and I never in my life thought I'd say that of a Tomb Raider title

Seaaan

I've only owned one tomb raider game ever, and it was so.. vague? I didn't know what to do :c But the game looked good for sure!
