  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,558 ✭✭✭✭dreamers75


    tbh for 2 quid its too much for patching of it.

    Actually, the best thing about buying CoH on Steam is because of the autopatching (the disk version was horrendous to patch).

    Dunno if its fixed but you had to download the entire game every time patch came out.

    nope


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,955 ✭✭✭rizzla

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 767 ✭✭✭HxGH


    I was in Waterford and called into the pawn shop down there.

    Nearly every game was €7?

    Picked up Brutal Legend... €7.

    Great!

    Its worldwide and called COH online , theres some MMO elements to it but its basically the same game and the single player campaign is included.

    Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - £12.91
    Fallout 3 GOTY Edition - £11.99
    Bioshock - £7.99
    Crysis Warhead - £4.95

    My FIFA 10 disc is literally worn out, it won't read. Does anyone know how much a used copy is these days?

    My FIFA 10 disc is literally worn out, it won't read. Does anyone know how much a used copy is these days?

    If it's on Xbox borrow a disc from a mate - install it to hard drive. Even though your game might be too worn to play it should still pick it up as being present in your machine.

    Most do. If its just clause 2 then it will register.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,879 ✭✭✭Coriolanus


    There's really only a handful that fully reg with Steam. Any game can be added to the Library, but you'll have to have it manually installed and patch it yourself etc.
    Just Cause 2 seems to be one of the few.

    Just bought it myself and downloading now, after purchasing they give you the activation code and also email it to you smile.gif

    http://store.eidos.co.uk/pc-windows-...st-Cause-2.php

    That site is broken - going by my experience.

    I signed up and received a confirmation Email. I was logged in automatically at the end of the registration process but experienced problems when I tried to buy the game (there were no click-able links to advance the checkout process). Left, and then returned to, the site - having to login again but being told that my login details are incorrect. Selected "forgot password" when it became clear I couldn't login, to be told they have no record of my Email address.

    ... at which point, my head exploded.

    also clicking some of the 'links' on there site either does nothing or, one time, caused the Eidos Firefox tab to close. :)

    All games 6 euro each.

    Includes:

    Serious Sam Remakes
    Dirt 2
    Kings Bounty
    Champions Online

    and some other not so good games

    Any of those is worth the six euro.

    This was posted in the Bargain Alerts forum.

    Playstation Move Starter Pack for €56.99 (€2 delivery included in price) with a free copy of Sports Champions with it 'free'. Has to be ordered through their website which doesn't give you much info on the deal tbh.

    I rang them up to confirm that it was indeed the starter pack and not just the Move Controller with a free game. Indeed it is the starter pack
    All other info in the link

    Edit: looks like that offer is over. Meant to post about it last night.

    Just for anyone looking to buy MOVE, I'd recommend playing it for free at the demo stand in HMV on Grafton Street. I'm not impressed. Then again it is just Wii Sports Resort, so it's true potential can't be seen in ten minutes with these tech demos.

    They have the drums for the price you posted, but the Beatles game only was regular price.

    Which HMV was this in?

    I saw this in Henry Street yesterday.
    Ask them to check the "system" price.
    Chances are the price was changed but they didn't get a chance to change them on the floor as yet.
