    No they don't, they launch between then and the end of March.

    Edit: I'm talking about Rayman and Lego City here. The others are launch day releases.

    Yes when it comes to a straight cash price they beat gamestop but their trade in prices are seen they are shocking bad IMO!! Had a few games hmv offered 32 GameStop offered 80 and 25% bonus brought it up to 100..

    Another example is FIFA 13 Xbox 35 trade in in GameStop and 20 in hmv and with 25% on 35 makes gamestop bout 43 trade in value!!! It's a no brainer if u have stuff to trade

    Does anyone have a confirmed list of the launch day releases? The list I'm finding only have a few titles on them, not like the list on the last page.

    bit the bullet and put a deposit on one (sold my vita)
    I went in to HMV asked if I could put a deposit of 200 down they said no.
    Only 10 euro was needed for the actual deposit but he suggested putting the other money on a gift card which he did.
    Went for the premium pack with nintendoland.
    As its kinda for the kids, I don't think Zombieu would be suitable.
    I think I will buy Mario seperately
    Looking forward to getting it now..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,507 ✭✭✭nitromaster


    Anyone got prices for Tesco yet or have any idea what they usually are like regarding pricing/etc for console launches? :confused::cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,763 ✭✭✭wampyrus77

    They have in general giving 2.5% not 10% recently...

    Was actually strange. Was in Smyths yesterday and they have 10% off AC3 but less off the Collector's edition.
    Think it's 10% off new releases for a week and 2.5% off other games.

    Not anymore. There's 10% off a few new releases but 2.5% off most of them

    Yes smyths loyalty card means nothing now IMO. Last game I bought a boards user here gave me staff discount because discount with loyalty card was2.5%

    U know who you are and thanks ;)

    On another note thinking of not buying Nintendo land doesn't seem worth full retail price for a game. It's kinda like a souped up wii u demo
