    Currently selling coverless games at 2 for €10. I just ordered Gran Turismo 6 and Assassins Creed Black Flag for the ps3, they'll be coverless but at that price, who cares?

    Thanks!!

    I had a few games cancelled on me the last time, hope they come this time.

    I got Dead Island Riptide last time around, amazing game... it took me days to complete!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,896 ✭✭✭penev10


    Nice one.

    They say coverless but the ones I got previously all had boxes, some with manuals!

    Cheers OP. I've been hoping an offer like this would come up just so I could get black flag!!

    3-12 has some good games but the 2-10 is amazing value.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,085 ✭✭✭meoklmrk91

    i just rang my mate who works in one of the ware houses that dispatch for them he said the amount of orders is more then they have in stock ffs


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,209 ✭✭✭maximoose


    Same as before so. When will they learn.

    Well that's what happened the last time too.
    It's 50/50 whether you get the game. Even worse odds if it's one of the more expensive/newer games.

    They still only charge the deal price so it's fine by me. :D

    Well that's a blatant lie anyway. They aren't coming from a warehouse, they are being sent out by stores.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,553 ✭✭✭lmimmfn


    meh, not going through this again :)
    Cheers for the info though

    Ignoring idiots who comment "far right" because they don't even know what it means

    And also not true. They are all coverless and will be sent out in plastic or cardboard sleeves.

    They send from individual stores.

    vinz you havee not got a clue a very small amount will be lmao


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 15,239 Mod ✭✭✭✭FutureGuy

    Actually, almost all of mine arrived with boxes and instructions.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,209 ✭✭✭maximoose


    Only 1 of the 9 games I received in the last "coverless" sale was actually that. The rest were properly boxed with sleeve and manual, even some DLC codes (although only 1 worked). Unless you know something we don't about this sale I wouldn't take it as a certainty they are coverless.

    I work in one of the stores that are dispatching them :) they are ALL being sent from stores, none from the warehouse.

    That was the last time. 7 of the 8 games I ordered arrived with boxes and manuals, it won't be the same this time.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 8 DJ2014


    besides who cares if they are coverless or not i have no plans to buy and sell on so does not make a difference to me


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 8 DJ2014

    vinz whats your name and the store you work in i will ring you

    you ordered a game from your own store lmao

    Just like me but you're the one who came on here lying. The reason this post went up so early was because I knew this sale was coming up today and wanted to order my own games before informing everyone else. Surely "your friend in the warehouse" would have known about it before this morning too.

    I'm off today I'm afraid, feel free to go through my posts from late last year regarding ps4 and xbone if you don't believe I work in an XV.

    And no, I didn't order from my store, that's not how it works. I ordered from the website.

    as i told you vinz he said the amount of orders does not equal the stock they have so hah


    and the name of store you work in?

    Dig up, your "friend in a warehouse" would be able to check stock levels in stores but the games are not being sent from the warehouse. Just out of interest, where does he work?

    you crack me up lmfao your saying all will be sent sleeveless really so you have been around to all stores to check while they come from warehouses


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 974 ✭✭✭Remouad


    Vinz you shouldn't let DJ2014 goad you.

    He's just a troll.

    No but I have seen the email sent from head office stating that all games are to be sent sleeveless :)

    I'm done with this pathetic conversation, you'll see yourself in a few days when you and others receive the games you ordered.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,737 ✭✭✭Hococop


    just ordered 6 games, thanks op, hopefully they arrive and i can add to the list of 12 or more games i have to complete :o

    That's pretty despicable. The same lad that bought a ton of stuff just to profit on adverts the last time is telling people that the warehouses have already gone over order.

    Obviously wanted people not to order the games so he would have a better chance at getting them himself. These games are not coming from a warehouse, anything pre-owned ordered from the website comes from a store.

    Ah, capitalism...:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Moneymaker


    At that price its worth the risk imo. Last time I got 3/4 and that was perfectly fine imo. And I got refunded for the 4th game so it's risk free.

    Ordered 4 games, 22 quid total. Will keep you all posted on when(if) they come.

    Picked up Arkham Origins, Skyrim (always regretted selling), Injustice and Dishonored.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,833 ✭✭✭Vinz Mesrine


    I just got a dispatch email for GT 6 and Black Flag :)

    Just missed out on getting Arkham Origins. Was top of my list.
    Got black flag though which eases the pain a little :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,200 ✭✭✭kensutz


    Just got dispatch confirmation of my games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 418 ✭✭:Keith:


    They're fairly on the ball with dispatches today. Got an email saying the games I'd bought were sent out about 3 hours after I ordered them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 974 ✭✭✭Remouad


    I ordered this morning but no dispatch email for me.

    Guess it's time to start praying to jebus......


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    :( i missed out on batman origins


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,896 ✭✭✭penev10


    Some of the more recent games are now out of stock - Black Flag, GT6, Minecraft etc.

    Glad I got in early:D Only hope they actually arrive now:o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,293 ✭✭✭MayoForSam


    Got in early this morning for Black Flag and Batman Origins for the 360, both now dispatched, thanks OP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,345 ✭✭✭jamescd


    Missed out on the recent games yet again. Ordered 30 quid worth of games anyway so can't complain.
