    No. Plus that offer expired very quickly on the other platforms.

    Do/Will Smyths match their UK prices over here? I see Diablo 3 bundle for £289 (€327), but not reduced here (yet).

    I had the bundle with MarioKart + Pokemon Go Pikachu for £269 from Very in my basket and had to do something for a lot longer than I thought. Expired now :(

    Starfox Zero: First Print Edition €19.99 in Gamestop for Black Friday. Plenty of stock around too.

    Oh and yes we know it wasn't for everyone :P

    Is Stick of Truth available in physical form or only as a download code?

    Very? Never ordered from them before, was looking into it when I had to go, and missed the offer. Code expired or Out of Stock.

    If it doesn't come with the tshirt and a game guide it's worthless. I think I saw it with them somewhere for a very acceptable price, I recommend that more.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,947 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    That Very offer expired really quickly. I've seen good offers around the world that are a lot better than what we've had thus far. In the US I seen a deal for just the Switch at $180(€158). In Australia at the moment, Amazon Prime are selling it for $330, that's Australian Dollars obviously. But anyway, that converts to €210.

    I still remember paying Gamestop €65 for this day 1. It was the only place in Ireland to buy the Special Edition and online retailers struggled to have it for launch and it seemed like a very limited run. There's plenty now still floating around and I'd love that €65 back.

    To show how bad MyNintendo is, you can use up 150 gold points and still have to pay €35 and that's just the game digitally, no Star Fox Guard or Steel Case. That's how people should buy it instead of going to Gamestop. ;)

    Mega Man 11 is on Amazon.com for $29.99 download or $21.99 + shipping + VAT to Ireland.

    Works out at €20.03 + €4.78 (shipping) + €5.71 (Import fees deposit) = €30.52.

    You could argue the Vat with amazon (They said they will refund any mistakes), as anything under €6 is considered negligible and not collected. Meaning it should be possible to get it for €24.81

    Amazon chat told me it would be refunded after 60 days - https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=help_search_1-1?ie=UTF8&nodeId=201910710&qid=1542977175&sr=1-1

    All's quiet on the Western Front as far as Nintendo is concerned on this Black Friday. You can say £250 for the Switch on its own is alright but it's not as cheap as the offers other regions have had thus far and the deals are not as good as this time last year. I think the only place that probably won't get deals is Japan, they don't need them as it's flying out the doors there and they pay €80 less than us as it is on the standard RRP. Maybe Cyber Monday will be better, that's the day last year that the best deal was available.

    I missed a couple of offers this morning from Germany for €244 + €14 delivered to Ireland. One was gone very early, the other was sold out by 07:30.
    It's on sale in Portugal for €229 but no way to get it delivered.

    I think the best offer so far was the one from Very for £269 + Mario Kart + Pokemon Let's go.

    I'm crying out for a good bundle deal on Amazon! No sign of anything yet though. Just give me a decent game for 249 sterling and I'll pull the trigger!

    I'm thinking that they don't need to drop the price a lot, as it seems to be the most sought after console this Christmas. January they might be better prices.
    I'm looking out too, might be something on Cyber Monday, but probably very few first thing in the morning.

    You're so right! They're selling shedloads and have no reason to do that! I'm just being tight! :D

    I'm the same, but seeing it on sale lower than I can get it now makes me want to hold out.


    Lego The Incredibles is down to €24.99 in Argos and Smyths

    South Park The Fractured But Whole Nintendo Switch is €19.99 in Smyths https://www.smythstoys.com/ie/en-ie/ie/en-ie/video-games-and-tablets/top-selling-video-games/south-park-the-fractured-but-whole-nintendo-switch/p/166118

    For anyone with small kids or small enough to fit into it themselves :D

    The Nintendo ROBOT Labo kit is reduced from 79.99 to 19.99 in Gamestop.


    Very limited stock too but an absolute bargain for a kids Christmas present.

    https://labo.nintendo.com/kits/robot-kit/

    Cheers for this, for some unknown reason I was unable to complete a click and collect order for it yesterday afternoon so decided to choose free home delivery and it got delivered this morning! My kid will be delighted with it as an extra surprise with the switch Christmas morning.

    It was that price for a while but with the footfall they've had the last 3 days (10 off 100 week, though not on gaming stuff) nothing is lasting on the shelves.

    Re: my Labo robot suit, it's currently in the midst of the Irish postal system.
    Having ordered for collection, they interpreted my use of PayPal as a silent assent for posting.
    And off it went, without the address being completed.
    And it's been on a few laps of the country, and will hopefully be finally here on Monday.
    And then what to do with it.
    Cidonalad doesn't want to make it and I'm a grown man.
