Gamestop Closing - Selling stock off.

ozmo

Sad to see another tech related shop go - pretty much will be just handbags and shoe shops left when they leave the mall.

But they have 30% off used games for PS5 and XBox X currently. And the % off seems to going up often.

Got "Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart" for 30 euros - and some PS4 games for about 2 euros each.

ozmo

Found receipt with exact prices - big games still pricey - but thats ps5 for you - lots of stock in shop - they said not all was out on display:

These were for Used - but seem fine.

Ratch & Clank PS5 €31.99 (also many other main titles this price)

Killzone Shadow Fall PS4 €2.39

Homefront Revolution PS4 €1.59

Horizon Zero Dawn PS4 €11.99

Deus Ex Mank Div PS4 €1.59

Just Cause 3 PS4 €4.10

thanks for posting, they’ll have to reduce by more closer to next month. Only 10% on switch software currently which makes the games only a similar price to SMYTHS etc!

Fat_Fingers

everything must go!!! = discount 10%

Yes - one to watch... but In store - there are signs for 30% off for some stuff (PS4) - 20% (PS5) and 10% for others. Nothing for hardware and merch yet.

in my case Ratch & Clank PS5 €39.99 - 20% off came down to almost reasonable €31.99 - which is cheaper than CEX €38

They were selling the actual shelves in the Liffey St branch the other day!

Possibly the worst closing down sale i've ever seen.

They're committing to their reputation til the bitter end.

feargantae

Thought it was gas the new Zelda game is €60 in Argos and €70 in GameStop!

True to form til the very end!

Hideki99235

Much better off getting a PlayStation sub.

Ratchet and clank and new Horizon are on it. Worth it for those alone.

Discounts are horrible with Gamestop

I liked the idea of it when I got it - Had a sub from launch day for just over a year - but several games I had queued up and installed to play were removed before I had finished them, so I let it expire.

Plenty for now for me to get through anyway.

Fingleberries

Currently offering discount of -30% discount on some items.

Although, mathematically speaking, if you discount by minus 30%, does that not mean that you're adding 30%? (It is GameStop, after all 😁)

Grid legends is selling in gamestop for 50e.

It's free on PS Plus this month and they're closing next month.

Spn744

20% off switch games now (was 10% last week) still can’t personally find great savings in comparison to Smyths etc…

john boye

They had 30% off in Liffey St on Friday but in Stephen's green on Saturday the discount was only 20%. They're hardly offering a better discount in the northside store, are they? Or did someone wake up in a cold sweat on Friday night and realise that 30% off €80 was too generous?

RobbingBandit

Stores have different closing dates so sales will be different

Which store is Northside?

Hideki99235

I asked in store today and he said the sale might go to 40%. Which isn't bad for new Ps5 games.

They were also selling all the baskets and stands in store.

Of the two mentioned, Liffey Street is on the north side.

Oh sorry, I read that as Liffey valley and I was being smart....jokes on me 😂😂

Any actually know when what stores are closing, asked in Tallaght they didn't seem to have a clue June was all they were told.

May hold out till some near me bump up discounts closer to final days

Fella in store said to me in Clarehall the 10th of June I believe and fully gone then with all stores and site by the end of the month. How accurate that is, I have no idea.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120631418#Comment_120631418

24th of June is meant to be the date internally. Ironically the same date as Argos are closing!

jimjangles

I don't suppose anyone bought their Series X pre-owned off GameStop. I was wondering what kind of condition they do be in. It seems a bit of a gamble really though, also no warranty so not sure it would be worth the saving, if it was faulty you'd be screwed with no one to go to.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120635143#Comment_120635143

Although GameStop are closing their website and store in the next month, they should have some service open for the next year or so in case any of the products they sell become faulty. Argos have something like this in place for when they close.

Argos have said you need to contact the manufacturer after they close. Nothing to do with them as they're gone

No they haven't: https://www.argos.ie/static/StaticDisplay/includeName/FAQ.htm?mvt=ar:homepage:topflash:customer-services:faq

What if the item becomes faulty after you've closed? If you need help with a product after our stores are closed we will continue to honour our statutory obligations, and you can contact us on 1800 535 091 where we will be happy to help you

Frontline retail staff on minimum wage are often wrong (which isn't their fault, they're not provided real training)

Went in and noticed some prices were higher than they were a few months ago

RobbingBandit

Yup the stock was bounced up on 1000s of items then artificially reduced to 10% off, in some cases items costed pennies a few months ago now back up to full price.

markw7

PS5 now with 5% off (€522.50), cheapest in the country at the moment.

Also other new gen stuff - PSVR, oled switch etc.

ECookie13

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120653609#Comment_120653609

They are clearly not going to discount these much more - they will likely be sold to other resellers.

KillerShamrock

I'd say it may go to 10% max cant see em going better than that. Guy in my local game stop said he was surprised they even went 5% that the head office were adamant they wouldn't reduce them but it's some external company handling the closing.

Cheapest I have seen the consoles anyway we'll bar the PS5 since the 50 increase.

Why do all Irish retailers add 15 or more to the switch when you can get it from Nintendo for 350

amacca

Went into one in Limerick to see was their much in pre owned ps4 games....not a dickie bird of interest and ridiculous prices imo

jontr

I was at a local GS yesterday and prices of pre-owned games (with included discount) are often higher than new ones in Smyths. The only thing that caught my eye was PS5 DualSense - priced at 42EUR (if I remember correctly) is similiar price I paid for it around Black Friday at Smyths.

I was in the Mullingar GameStop today and most of the stock was 30% off and when I Asked when was the closing date,

I was told Saturday 17th of June.

Hideki99235

Now definitely worth visiting a GameStop store.

Low on stock but you might get lucky.

70% off Ps5, PS4 and Xbox.

50% off switch.

If you are near one pariticpating well worth a visit.

markw7

PS5 is now 10% off - €495 (online only).

KillerShamrock

All stores seem to be at different phases their website is defo not showing those prices what stores ya seeing those discounts in

feargantae

Athlone store closing 17 June according to a staff member.

Dr.Winston O'Boogie

Can't figure out if the PS5 on the website is the disc or digital version?

dan786

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120688129#Comment_120688129

Disc at 495

This is the email I received yesterday.

Blanch excluded from the sales? Its not on that advert....

Princess Calla

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120689191#Comment_120689191

I'd say it's more to do with their final closing date.

Blanch might have a couple of weeks left.

Dr.Winston O'Boogie

Order the PS5 last night. Any idea on delivery times? Nothing mentioned in the confirmation email.

3102derek

was in Newbridge on Saturday.

50% off all stock. Switch games marked from 59.99 to 29.99. But any game I checked against Smyth were either same price or cheaper in Smyths.

Joke of a shop, no wonder they are going.

mik_da_man

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120689416#Comment_120689416

Similar story here, went in with the kids and they picked a few switch games, all of which were easily bought cheaper.

We did pick up a few non game items cheaply though.
