    OF COURSE!!


    i remember when COD w@w came out, the big 24hr tesco started selling them a few days before it was supposed to come out.

    What your supposed to do is ask for it (like say your wondering why you dont see it). ask someone who looks like they have no idea, a young 'wan for example.

    She'll do the whole "Hold on ill see where are they".
    Go out the back and get one for you.

    Baddabing-baddaboom.
    :pac:

    Wait.
    49.99?

    Think i'll take the chance and wait the extra day to be honest.

    45 in HMV and free 9 euro gift card? Bit of a better off i think.

    It's gunna be €50 everywhere except prob HMV and Argos, who will have it for €45.

    reminds me.........add Argos to the list of stores with young wan's who may be gullible as usually the games sit behind them at the checkout :p

    I know a few heads that work in argos in drog and its a case that if its not behind them, they dont have to get it.
    So that may not work.
    **by the by, when i say young wans, i dont mean it in a derogatory way, i just mean those girls who are there who you can see dont care about it, they are just happy they have a job.

    No that's true, online is allowed to sell them the day before release date as delivery times will be a day at the very least.

    I pre-ordered it from GAME (Hitman Edition) on Tuesday, so I'm gonna head on down tomorrow to see if I can score it early. Wish me luck...

    Gamestop also have the Bret Hart code, according to their website. click exclusive games and scroll past the fallout: new vegas mumbo jumbo.

    Again if you're looking online at that, it is in stock but can't be dispatched until tomorrow.

    yeah I know that, just hoping that it could lead to good news on here.

    its either this evening, midnight or tomorrow for some.

    half day from work, bring on more good news with this game being released and I'm a happy man for the night.

    P.S. Any stores reading this, PLEASE SELL


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked


    Surely theres nowhere selling it at midnight?

    *edit*
    Oh yeah, tesco. Woops.

    certain GAME stores USED to do midnight releases for this game, only a select few did last year, dont think any will this year, but could be proved wrong.

    Got an email from Play.com to say my Lord Of Darkness Edition had been shipped today at 14:00.

    Does anyone have any experience with Play.com? I'd hardly have it by tomorrow would I? :(

    The thing about Tesco selling at midnight is they will probably sell at the R.R.P. which is €59.99.

    They did this with Fifa 11 a couple of weeks ago, but bought the price down to €39.99 at 9am Friday morning. Anyone who bought the game at the Midnight price got their 20 quid back with receipt of purchase.

    Just look out for the price if you're buying in Tesco tonight and bring the game along with your receipt if the price goes down tomorrow morning!

    By the way, I should have my game around 10am in the morning when the post man comes :D.

    I used play.com quiet alot, in my own personal experience it takes 3-5 working days for games to arrive after they've been dispatched. Sorry! :(

    Perhaps they had to wait to get another shipment in to send it out to you, that one in particular has been in high demand i hear.

    When did you order it out of interest?

    Yeah The Lord of Darkness Edition totally sold out there last week so it was in very very high demand methinks!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,028 ✭✭✭seandotcomm


    Ordered it about a month ago. Got an email yesterday morning saying the credit card had been refused. ( I thought it had been charged when I placed the order and mustnt have had enough money left ). I changed the card right away but maybe it took them til today to process the new details. Really annoying:(

    Was in Gamestop on Henry St. at about 3pm and there was no sign of it

    none of the places stock till near 6-ish anyways, that way, if they get the call after 6 that the game can be sold, its there for people to see.

    hoping it gets the early-ish release (fingers crossed)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 576 ✭✭✭StoneColdFan

    looks like the waiting will be continuing till tomorrow unless someone has good news before 9 (Gamestop, Smyths) or 11 (Xtra-Vision).

    weird to hear that from Tesco's I must say though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,609 ✭✭✭irish_stevo815


    Does anyone know of any sites where you can download Wrestlers themes as MP3's? It would be handy for anyone planning on creating or downloading real wrestlers CAW's!
