    Got the gamestop case in william Street last night, it's alright like nothing to shout about but it was discounted so was grand!

    Also thought it was a good idea to only sleep for 2 hours before work though and like a ghost now!

    I've a lot of expenses this month, so the plan was to hold out for the March 31st paycheck and get it early April. But after reading through the giddiness of the last 5 or 6 pages, and spending all week seeing Zelda getting insane reviews, I think I'm gonna have to chance my arm on lunch time and see if any near by shops have any stock remaining.

    Not holding out much hope I'll get one, so won't be disappointed if I don't. But on the off chance I do, I may have to use the skills I learn from BOTW and adapt them to real life, and scavenge for food to survive this month!! :)

    Asked about the Amiibo in GameStop Tallaght when I was picking mine up, they had them all. Got a guardian (which is huge!) and horseback Link

    The jacks where I work are not a place you'd want to spend any more time than necessary :pac:

    What are the benefits of the Amibos for Zelda?

    Nearly had a cry/meltdown in Argos. I went to collect my pre-order done at 6am only to be told at counter that it was sold already to someone else and the other unit they had in stock was reserved for some other person.
    Finally realised we had tried to use the kiosk to pay and hadn't fully cancelled out of the transaction. Whoops!

    Home now and set for the weekend. I'm not supposed to play it until my wife is with me later tonight but she's meeting a friend for a drink. Any idea how I could have a few hours and reapply the shrink wrap to Zelda without her noticing :D

    They give you food and weapons. The Wolf one gives you Wolf Link as a companion.

    I don't have mine yet, going to pick it up during lunch. That's negative enough for me.

    Had a grey ordered with Amazon, they cancelled my order yesterday, I was given the option last night and went with neon's, my missus was saying my grey order was playing it safe too much... :)

    Loving the neon? I wonder if Smyths will give me the option later. Doubt there will be too much choice by the time I can collect :(

    O Switchmas Tree! O Switchmas Tree!
    Thy hype is so unchanging;
    O Switchmas Tree! O Switchmas Tree!
    Thy hype is so unchanging;
    Not only neon when summer's here,
    But also grey when 'tis cold and drear.
    O Switchmas Tree! O Switchmas Tree!
    Thy hype is so unchanging;

    I hate all you early adopters.

    Just do a quick search for User = sligeach :P

    The hype is infectious alright, but €470 in Argos for Switch + Zelda + Pro Controller vs €63 for Wii-U Zelda. Mind made up. I think. Yeah defo. :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33 Nutmeg


    Just walked into Gamestop in Waterford City about 20 minutes ago and picked up a Neon Switch and Zelda without any preorder or hassle. They don't have any Grey units left and only have a small number of Neon units left in stock.

    I believe Argos and Smyths in Waterford still have a decent number of consoles left in stock in anyone from the area is still looking to pick one up.

    Can't wait to start Zelda later this evening.

    Gamestop only gave me 2 free hats, a plate, lego war machine figure from iron man 3, a copy of metal gear rising for 360, loz key ring and poster, mario buttons im so frustrated........ :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 189 ✭✭alekito


    Anyone get the pro controller? Argos seems cheapest. It's a steep price but might as well get it at the start ... I guess


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 189 ✭✭alekito


    I also reserved a copy of the Special Edition of Zelda for €99 in Argos. Is it worth the extra?

    That looks huge. Is it awkward to hold?

    I'm assuming that was for the midnight launch. I'm going to awkwardly stand there later after I pick up mine expecting something :pac:
