    Midweek Madness: 50% off Nation Red and Nation Red 4-Pack on Steam

    http://store.steampowered.com/app/39800/

    There seem to be a lot of these top-down shooters showing up lately. I lolled when Alien Breed showed up the other week as a deal, as if Valve had inadvertendly stepped all over its toes by releasing Alien Swarm and tried to apologize with face time.

    Today only!

    Two options:

    Buy The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion® Game of the Year Edition

    where do you get the 200+ hours to complete it though? you could do a part time masters in the time this time sync takes (i know, I've sunk it!)

    Yeah, I remember just _one_ of my save games was over 100+ hours - and that was just my fighter-mage. Also had an assassin-thief on the go (the reason I'm buying it is so I can finally finish the Dark Brotherhood questline, which is, as expected, delightfully evil...)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,349 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    Nice. Played a bit of on the 360, but with the mods and what-not, the PC version is a steal at that price.


  • Registered Users Posts: 150 ✭✭TetraxShard


    Xtra-Vision seem to be doing a clearout on semi-recent releases. Today I saw:

    Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands
    Super Street Fighter IV
    Split/Second: Velocity
    Splinter Cell: Conviction
    Blur

    19.99 each. Decided to take a punt on Splinter Cell at that price.

    Well, if you wait just a bit longer I doubt a used copy will cost more than a tenner :pac:

    Dont think you can gift a game you own unless you click the gift option.

    Zavvi's monday sale includes both 360 and PS3 versions of Resi 5 (Gold Edition - includes both DLCs) for 16.45 euros (plus...1.15 P&P) which is a great deal IMO


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy

    Popped around to Henry St, none there, boo.

    (Still great to see HMV's pricing scheme: Just Cause 2 on XBox, €22; on PC, €39).

    Ha, saw Just cause 2 for the PC there. The Limited Edition was priced at €39, while the regular version was priced at €50. Madness. I do remember when they tried to sell a Lost:Season 2 boxset for €100 two years after it's release.

    I think I might have gotten the last one in Dundrum. Couldn't see any around. Could always ask to see if they have any in the back. Save yourself another trip, and give them a ring.

    Kane and Lynch 2 is only €29.99 in HMV.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,923 ✭✭✭kearneybobs


    Kane and Lynch 2 is only €29.99 in HMV.
    Been posted in the BA section too. If you hurry, you can get a free copy of Leon on Bluray too with the PS3 version. Someone over there also pointed that you can get Public Enemies on Bluray too with Mafia 2. I think both those BluRays are on special with a 2 for €30 offer. So if you buy the two games with the two free blurays you can get even more money off. Not sure myself if it will work though. Can't confirm it myself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,705 ✭✭✭Mr Trade In


    Sorry I meant to post it here too, forgot. The Leon Bluray offer maybe finished as it was just for preorders,worth a chance though as it is a great film.

    I picked up demon's souls black phantom edition used in xtra vision today for 35 euro i think that a good deal


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11 pixelperfect


    I dont know if this has been said yet but Xtravision messed up the pricing on Battlefield Bad Company 2 on Xbox. A used copy is E35 while a brand new copy is E34.99. I saw it about 2 months ago but as far as I know it's still the same prices now.

    I'd recommend HMV and Game patrons to be extra vigilant as well, they have a disgusting habit of charging the same amount (or in some cases -- higher) for a 2nd hand copy than a new one. Scum. Sub-human scum.

    Also I just remembered, I once bought Lost Odyssey on Xbox also in Xtravision for 15 quid while the used one was 22.99

    As you say, the titles are cheaper on their European site than the one you linked to. Don't think people will be able to buy from the US site with an Irish credit card iirc:

    Not sure if it's been mentioned but the xtravision sale is well worth checking out. Got myself Brutal Legend for 10 euro and Trauma Centre Second Opinion for 15. Plenty more there but none that interested me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,976 ✭✭✭✭humanji


    D2D are also doing some great 1 day only deals today you can get Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines for €9.95. Well worth it for a fantastic RPG.
