Good stuff, is it definitely going ahead?? im pretty keen because we are moving into a new flat this weekend

RedXIV · 05-04-2012 7:43am

This was actually pretty good last time I went to it. Got a couple of decent games and a brand spanking new PS2 for 50 quid.

paulieb999 · 05-04-2012 8:50am

Definitely on, heard an ad on the radio for it yesterday. Does anybody know what the Hannspree TV's are like?

Skerries · 05-04-2012 9:08am

is it a sale or an auction?

Warehouse sale...........clearance sale.....

If I'm about I'll pop in. Thanks a mil for the heads up OP!

paulieb999 · 05-04-2012 9:14am

Is it worth getting a blu-ray player? My dvd player is a bit dodgy, is €50 a good price for a blu-ray player and do they make a difference in the quality?

Jax Teller · 05-04-2012 9:21am

open 12 to 8 on friday & 10 to 4 on saturday according to their Facebook .

Gonna go see can i get a iPhone speaker dock for cheap enough .

assuming you have a HDTV and plan on buying or renting blu-rays then yes, i'd say so as it will still play all your DVD's and will likely do a better job of it than your old DVD player.

Sappy404 · 05-04-2012 10:13am

I got a HDMI xbox 360 in the last one I went to for €99, with a post-Jasper chipset (i.e. less likely to overheat and cause the RROD - http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081201130404AASO96k).

Anyone looking for a cheap console should definitely go along, even if it's not in that list above. There'll be a big pile of XB and PS3 consoles and you'll likely not find them cheaper anywhere. I also got some fairly recent games for quite cheap - Ghostbusters and Bioshock 2 for less than a tenner for both as I recall.

Mizu_Ger · 05-04-2012 10:17am

Anyone know if they'll take Credit and Laser cards at this?

Sappy404 · 05-04-2012 10:19am

They did for me. They'll have a few tills set up, just like paying for something at a regular Xtravision.

BostonB · 05-04-2012 10:24am

It will probably be a scrum I'm thinking?

It's a big room with loads of people wandering around. It's open all weekend so it won't always be wedged. That said the stuff is mostly set up in big piles. First there will get the best picks. I went on the Sunday previously and there were dozens of PS3s and XBoxes left, hundreds of games as well.

A2LUE42 · 05-04-2012 11:05am

Anyone actually have the flyer/email that they can post here?

Was in the Evening Herald yesterday basically just listed what the OP did

Mizu_Ger · 05-04-2012 2:12pm

Did they do software as well last time (DVD's, Blu-rays, Games etc)?

RedXIV · 05-04-2012 2:16pm

Yup, picked up alot of them last time. had about 40 prince of persia limited editions too. you'll find alot of sub par games but a good few gems in there too. STACKS of DVDs too

Mikeyt086 · 05-04-2012 3:56pm

Can someone tell me where exactly on the Naas road this is? For google map purposes

Sappy404 · 05-04-2012 4:07pm

Easiest thing is to search for Green Isle Hotel on Google Maps, I'd have thought?

robz18 · 05-04-2012 4:08pm

reckon they'd be selling PS3 controls at a decent price? ...might trek it out

The Green Isle Hotel is located approx 1km on the Naas side of Newlands Cross.
Driving along the Naas Rd towards Dublin after junction 2 you will pass the Green Isle on your left just before you reach Newlands Cross. After the hotel take the first left turn and immediately left again. The entrance is on your left at approx 500m.

Driving out of Dublin simple way is to go through Newlands Cross, pass Green Isle on your right, take next exit at junction 2, take 3rd exit off roundabout, cross over Naas Rd, take 3rd exit off roundabout, follow road and hotel is on your right at approx 500m.

RobbingBandit · 05-04-2012 11:46pm

The Number 69 bus from City Centre stops at the Green Isle Hotel.

madma · 06-04-2012 9:58am

anyone know if its good for cameras

looking to get something decent that also does films with sound nothing too facny

?

TomCo · 06-04-2012 10:02am

Would it be worth heading in at 6:30pm after work, or would all the decent stuff be gone?

dermiestv · 06-04-2012 11:29am

Does anyone know if the items are new or are they refurbished?
I'm interested in the games consoles.
thanks

Stoner · 06-04-2012 2:56pm

I there more or less when it was opened, all the 40" TVs were gone when i left, I was going to get the last one but didn't, 32" was the biggest remaining size in known brands, there may have been some of 40" hanspree units, there was 32" Sony and Samsung units at 270 euro left.
I didn't see anything interesting on the games side, lots of copies of batman as stated above.

Lots of DVD and BR players left too.

donnacha · 06-04-2012 3:43pm

any idea of the makes/models of blu ray players?

Stoner · 06-04-2012 3:51pm

not models sorry, but they were good makes but not packed with features like dnla or netflix ready. I didn't see any network ready samsung or sony units, I think nearly all the current generation of blu ray players have these extra features, but they were nice players

plenty of Sony and samsung. There were some network ready LG units there too, i dont remember many prices but something like 60 Euro for a Sony

I got a Sony S370 for €60, there's Philips ones there too

donnacha · 06-04-2012 6:10pm

Looking for a panasonic - but I think they only started selling them recently so unlikely to be in clearance. thats a good price for a S370.

BlackWizard · 06-04-2012 6:13pm

Price list for TVs

GobBass · 06-04-2012 6:15pm

Got a Sansa View 32gb for €50. Was cheeky enough to haggle because of the box being slightly roughed up but they said no,worth a shot anyway.:D

My years without an iPod continue..:P

samhail · 06-04-2012 6:23pm

myself and my girlfriend picked up 2 32" Sony tv's, by the time we came back around they were all gone and they were bring out fresh stock.

Couldn't see any sony tvs bigger than 32in (unfortunately) but did see alot of some 42in tv that wasn't listed.

BlackWizard · 06-04-2012 6:38pm

There were a lot of TVs still there at about 12pm. But I don't know now. Not many 40+ inch ones down there. Lots of the rest.

BostonB · 06-04-2012 6:58pm

I was over about 2pm, some TVs left, but I'm really looking for one with a proper Saorview EPG and DVR and none had that. By the time I left most of the TV's had gone. I couldn't see any games or DVD's I would be interested in. I picked up a couple of blueray players, but one is missing a remote. I'll have to return to get a remote, or a refund. They looked like ex demo, or refurbs not new. As such you couldn't be sure what you're getting in the box. So check before you leave.

I wonder wil they have more stock, they bring in during the day, or tomorrow. As a lot of stuff was gone by the time I left.

Mikeyt086 · 06-04-2012 7:01pm

Can anyone shed some light on the DVD or Blu-Ray offers? Not the players, but the actual movies. And also are there no decent games?

TomCo · 06-04-2012 7:29pm

Gah, picked up an 80gb PS3 only to realise afterwards that it wasn't backwards compatible. Box was also missing the games it was supposed to have, and to top it off I was over charged 50 quid (€200)!

Going back tomorrow to trade it for a 60gb refurb (and €50 quid).

No blu-ray movies, lots of ok-ish dvd's but you have to go rooting through boxes with loads of other people.

Loads and loads of copies of bayonetta and army of two 2, nothing else of note.

Did the ps3 include a controller?

Edit: The boxed 80gb I got didn't
