Black Ops Pricing

Hardened is around 80 spuds apparently

ShaneU · 06-11-2010 08:09PM

43.95 is the price right now, there's nothing stopping them from changing it last minute though

Would it be worth going to a gamestop launch event? Like apart from getting the game as early as possible obviously. Get any free crap at these things?

Was over in gamestop today and the manager there was sayin if your there a bit early you get a free t shirt, he had loadsa them over there today and a couple of 007 ones aswell was gonna ask him for one for the laugh :P

Free Black Ops t-shirts. I'll be getting mine in Galway in the Skeff purely for that reason, I reckon a tenner above Tescos price for a cool T-Shirt isn't so bad.

In the past I preordered at my nearest Gamestop but they dont hold your prebooking as worth anything so I took my patronage elsewhere..am hoping HMV will give me good tradein on halo reach and one or two other games.

Fol20 · 07-11-2010 02:21PM

So is it definitely gonna cost 53 in hmv?I thought usually they have new releases for 45

Does anyone know if they are going to have a midnight launch in cork?

djkeogh · 07-11-2010 05:01PM

I was in HMV Grafton street this morning and the signs up were saying it'll be 47.99 there.

At least they are trying to be some what competitive.

Tesco for me it seems, they don't even need a booking.

39.99 on g2play.net for use with steam

Do not buy from these, i had alot of hassle from these cowboys before and i would never recommend these to anyone if i where you. I bet they sell the russian version of the game like all the other cdkey sites are and they will make a killed in profilt (scumbags).

Buy the russian version for 18.99e from http://www.keys4.me
Ive used these twice and they have been amazingly good support too and do scanned images of the gamecode.
Another alternative i heard good things about http://www.cjs-cdkeys.com/

Just ordered mine. :pac:

kk887 · 07-11-2010 10:30PM

will tesco sell it on the 9th?

lindtee · 08-11-2010 12:45AM

Just spotted that the Amazon price has come down slightly to £36.97 for the xbox360 and PS3which works out at about €44.16. Think its the cheapest online at the moment but is slightly more than the cheapest bricks and mortar price. Amazon are pretty good at delivering things quickly too:) http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0036ORNUM/ref=ox_ya_os_product I had a £9 amazon voucher from irish opinions so for me it was the best option.

+1 seen the sign outside on saturday and they are also opening for midnight sale.

Zero-Cool · 08-11-2010 11:16AM

Great thread, thanks lads!

I'm gonna be trading in MW2 for this. Too many games coming out for me to buy any outright so Tesco & Harvey Norman out the window. I will be ringing a few places getting trade in value for MW2, will post up here although ye COD purists will prob never get rid of MW2!!

Peyton Manning · 08-11-2010 11:18AM

Anybody know if Gamestop in Kilkenny (or Xtra Vision in Kilkenny or Thurles) are opening at midnight? I doubt it, but worth a shot! Sent em a wee e-mail but no reply as of yet.

Also, how much would those two places charge?

Ive bought stuff from G2PLAY recently without a problem.

Thanks for the other links, bookmarked

18:99 = bargain, you say you have used them before, im tempted.

Actually scratch that , they dont stock the English version

I'm a PS3 man these days!

I'm horribly out of date with the gaming scene. I really only buy 2 or 3 titles each year, and they're just sequels all the time (Madden, PES and COD!) with the occasional GTA or L4D when I used to be on Xbox. I usually send someone on an errand into town to get a game for me so not sure how much games are these days!

Extreme boredom has me considering getting a game at launch for the first time ever

super_furry · 08-11-2010 11:33AM

No chance of the street date being broken today?

There's always a chance but the fines are getting bigger by the year so the chances of getting it a copy earlier then the release date is getting less and less.

FIFA this year was pretty water tight.

danois · 08-11-2010 11:42AM

Im just off the phone with someone in tesco who told me they will have black ops tomorrow but he wont know prices until then and no midnight release(well at least not in bray)

Harvey norman in carickmines said they have it but as its not out until the 9th officially they arent allowed for legal reasons have a midnight launch??? so will be there first thing for in the morning for 44

Does anyone here work for tesco can you use your staff discount on games?? if so might get my babysitter to buy if for me every little helps and all that lol

Here.

Also, if anyone wants to check for stores opening for the midnight release, you'll find it there.

Sprrratt · 08-11-2010 12:21PM

So im just wondering who is going to be hitting Tesco at midnight tonight for Black Ops.

Im thinking of cancelling my order from Gamesnash so I can play at midnight because im craving it something terrible!

Who here is going pre-orderless tonight? Ive contacted the tesco in Artane, my local 2 mins walk, and they said there is about 150 going on sale but the girl on the phone didnt know if that included both ps3 and xbox. Does there be much queue in Tesco, am I in danger of not getting a copy?

If worst comes to worst I might go up and if I get one then fine Ill send back my pre-ordered copy on the cooling period basis. Rather not get my account charged though.

Edit* Trollox. Literally just got confirmation of dispatch.

Not a chance, it wont sell out, MW2 didnt.

GEasy · 08-11-2010 12:32PM

I strolled in the tues morning for FIFA 11 . I plan on doing the same for black ops . Plenty stock and a great price . "Shure where would ya be goin ? ! " : )

Lucious Sweet · 08-11-2010 12:35PM

Looks like some people just didn't want to wait until tomorrow.

Battleflag · 08-11-2010 12:36PM

Waiting for one of the lads down in Tesco to text me back, to see if it came in today or tomorrow. If not Im just going to head up to Xtra-Vision
