Drove half an hour out of my way to collect this game and was told it's 44.99 and 30 odd used also asked if it was ten yesterday to be told it wasn't thanks man!

I presume you didnt make it into the Grafton Street branch then? HMV are renowned for pricing discrepincies across branches. Shortly before Christmas, Back to the Future bluray was €30 in Sligo and Henry St (among other stores) but was €50 in Grafton Street or Dundrum. Sorry about that. I'm 99% sure that it as €10. Might have been a case of the ridiculous pricing in HMV. Can anyone else confirm the price I was seeing?

Edit: So the €9.99 price I was seeing is right then?

Ugh, a bit sensationalistic? It isn't up to impeccable Metroid standards but it's still a good game.

3DS I presume. They are taking pre-orders. No price is confirmed.

It really really really really isn't!

The only reason I would recommend buying it at that price is so that you can sell it for £30ish on Ebay, but then karma might come around and bite you on the arse for knowingly selling a rubbish game at a rip off price...

Tis £14.98 on Amazon too by the way...

Enslaved, Blur and Singularity all €2 when you trade in a game at gamestop.

Dues Bellator · 11-01-2011 7:24pm

traded in mw2 when blops got released for 20 euro , found out to my horror it was a big mistake when i found out blops was a bit rubbish

, went in to game today and bought it back for 20 euro , result

i will hang on to blops till they fix the online problems, i will still play blop but not as much as mw2 ...

I traded in Civ Rev, Brutal Legend and UFC 2010

Drakar · 13-01-2011 5:48pm

I think a guy at the counter was saying a while ago that they accept all games that trade at €15 or more (except old sports games).

ShaneU · 13-01-2011 7:14pm

I don't think so, the value of the games on the receipt was

Civ Rev €4.50
UFC 2010 €6.80
Brutal Legend €3.40

That's why I only trade in games for deals like these, I'd rather keep a game than sell it for a measly sum like that.

Bayonetta was €2 as well, and Spirit Tracks if you have a DS game to trade.

anyone know where to get bayonetta for bout a tenner

When you first walk into the store walk straight ahead and have a look on the second or third aisle on the right, where all the special offer/seasonal stuff is. There was a cardboard display (neon green I think) with loads of copies of a few different games for €10. They had Bayonetta and The Darkness for PS3 (and Surf's Up and some other crap) and they had Bayonetta, Devil May Cry and I think maybe The Golden Compass for 360. They had some Wii shovelware as well. I'm not sure if they're still there but they were definitely there about a week or two ago. Pretty sure someone else posted about it in this very thread anyways if you don't believe me. :pac:
