    The cost price in the HMV system is show as 13.99 so that why they are going so cheap.

    The Sale starts tomorrow { Thursdays }, there is two different codes on the POS system {while polls only |every 24hrs } so that way when you get a store to check the stock levels in other stores they are showing none.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,612 ✭✭✭uncleoswald


    Got one today at around 6 on Grafton St. Thanks again to the OP, great deal. Henry St said they had none but expected more in soon. Looks like a massive sale starting today by the way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,187 ✭✭✭Sappy404


    I got the last one in Grafton St today. I tried to buy 2, but was told there was a limit to 1 per customer, and that I was buying the last one anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,026 ✭✭✭docdolittle


    Thanks for all the.... thanks... everyone :P

    Now I'm starting to wonder, if I didn't post this... could I of bought loads of them and sold them off for double the price :rolleyes: :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,612 ✭✭✭uncleoswald


    Does anyone know why this might not work on my machine? The transfer disk keeps telling me to attach the original drive even though it already is attached. Its a 60gb 360, is that a problem?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,473 ✭✭✭✭Liam O


    great so if I had've only made the trip to Grafton I probably would've got one :rolleyes: typical of my luck. better have them in next Wednesday


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,850 ✭✭✭Fnz


    I got mine in Blanch at 11:50 today and the guy at the counter did not even know they were going for that price and he was saying he should grab one for his mate. I wonder if the staff grabed a load as there was about 6 there at the time I was in, just ahead of you Fnz.
    Well, there 4 remaining when I left, having bought one. Ondafly (and friend) bought 3 of them. That doesn't leave many to be grabbed by staff.
    Oh and just on a side note the transfer cable did not work with my 60 gig drive it kept asking me to insert my 20 gig drive. So I just used a memory card to transfer profile and save games.

    Did you find them on shelves or did you ask ? How do you know they had that many ?

    There were 3 out on the floor with the accessories anyway when I was there, from reading this it looks like people got some afterwards to they probably had more out back.

    I got one at 6.30pm yesterday in Grafton street. The bloke behind the counter said he couldn't sell me one because they were not going on sale until Thursday, I told him I was speaking to someone on the phone who said I could buy it on Wednesday and he brought it out for me then. Thanks OP, great find.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    They had none left on Grafton St as of 10:10 this morning. The gal behind the counter had a good look for them and checked with her colleagues, no joy :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,813 ✭✭✭BaconZombie


    Swords is also now sold out, they only got 3 delivered yesterday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    Gonna try Dundrum this evening on my way home... Though driving there with my fingers crossed may prove difficult... :p

    ^ Jackpot.

    Went in yesterday evening to HMV in Dundrum. There were none on display, so I asked one of the guys working there. He checked the cupboards behind the till, then checked the system. They were showing as 38.99 on the system, and as in stock, so he went out back and grabbed me one. :D

    He said he didn't know about that deal coming up, but apparently they weren't meant to be that price till today, but sold it to me no problem, as well as saying he must get one himself, and asked about transferring over the information from the old HDD, which I was only to happy to help him out with as he'd been really helpful and cool about it. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,195 ✭✭✭deadl0ck


    Was in Blanch there and they have none left. The guy behind the counter said a guy bought a load of them yesterday.
    Anyhoo...he said they hope to have more in 2 weeks, so worth keeping an eye on..

    Yes. You need to get in touch with M$ tech support and get them to send you out a 60gig software disk as they only work with 120 and 20 gig drives.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 121 ✭✭jesterhead


    Phoned HMV Galway this morning and the guy was kind enough to put one aside for me till my lunch, I'm very appreciative! There was 4 or 5 left then, no surprise they've sold out.

    Thanks OP!

    Cheers I was on to them, nice they were too. When I told her what was happening she seemed pretty sure it was the transfer cable not the software disk and she is sending me out a new one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,113 ✭✭✭wilser


    Cheers op. just got 1 in newbridge at 6 o clock, there was 2 left on the shelf.

    Make sure you refer to them as m$ now too :P

    Got mine in Dundrum this morning. Ta OP!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,634 ✭✭✭jenno86

    Try the store on Cruises Street, got one there yesterday and they had a few left, ask upstairs as they had them taken off the shelf and put away in the storeroom.

    The store in the Cresent had just one for €129.99, they were sold out of the €38.99 ones, didn't know when they would be getting them back in stock


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,896 ✭✭✭grimm2005


    Tried grafton and henry street today. Unsurprisingly they had none :(

    They are using the same barcode so the one priced 129.99€ will scan for 38.99€

    none left in Dundrum :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,171 ✭✭✭syboit


    got one in Cork today, thanks to the OP :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 121 ✭✭jesterhead


    Anyone else had any trouble since buying this? Took me 4 attempts at copying everything to the new drive, it just kept freezing. Now Sometimes my console just won't start, or glitches and freezes mid game. Never happened before I got the new drive so I'm assuming this is the problem?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,220 ✭✭✭Keith186


    Anyone know if there's any in Blanchardstown? Might take a spin up now...

    Was on a training course in dundalk yesterday and popped into HMV in the Marshes shopping centre, and they had fours of these, was tempted to pick up all of them, but resisted.
    Was still 3 left when I was leaving!!

    I think we should save your seller name, and make new accounts and put in false bids to ruin it :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,999 ✭✭✭✭Thargor


    Ah who cares, they were the last 2 in the shop, leaving one there for someone else would have been the same as leaving €50 on the footpath outside for someone else to find, wish Id seen this thread the day before.

    HMV Galway did me a big favour the Xmas before last aswell, I bought 6 Wii bundles in there a couple of weeks before Xmas with no hassle when they were rarer than unicorn **** everywhere else, sent 5 of them to the UK on Ebay, made about €500 profit and got a free Wii out of it aswell :)

    As long as I've been looking and posting on this board, people post bargains so all can avail.
    Equal chance for a bargain and all that, community etc

    Nah, forget it - that's obviously over some peoples heads.

    quick question: are the used 20gigs any use to anyone else. My cousin has an arcade but if I plug my 20gig into his how do I format it?

    Ya it can be plugged in. As for formatting it just go into System Settings>Memory and select the hard drive and there should be a format option.
