GameStop will be selling it in-store for €54.99 as far as I know. I had ordered the special edition in-store on Saturday but they cancelled the pre-order yesterday because it was actually sold out and the system hasn't been updated at the time. They offered me €5 off the regular edition and 2 free DLC packs and said it would cost me €50, so that's where I'm getting the €54.99 figure from. Hope this helps.

It's a real shame HMV is not open, new games were always €47.99, miss them terribly. I know a few Dublin stores are re-opening, I hope the Kilkenny one will open too.

They took my 20 euro yesterday for pre order and didn't say anything about being sold out. Which store was this in?

Think this might be my first PS3 pre-order! :eek:
I usually just wait about 6 months so any issues have been patched and there's a bit of a price drop but despite being sceptical about the Uncharted series I thought 2 and 3 were excellent (1 not so much) and I have never seen a game review so well across the board.

Zavvi is the only site I can see doing the Sites and Sounds pack at the moment. Any others doing it?

Surely pre-ordering now would defeat the purpose of it from somewhere like Zavvi? You can walk into a shop tomorrow and pick it up but if you pre-order now it's going to be the middle of next week before you get your hands on it!

I'm away all weekend anyway and I don't mind not getting it until some time next week. I could just buy it then but the price will be the same so I'd like to get the pack with it.

Yeah, once back in the day with Gears of War 1 on a Thursday evening but never again. No main retail shop will ever break release dates due to the fines they will face, it's a big deal. Small independent stores do early releases because no one really notices or reports it.

I got the dispatch email yesterday. But I only paid for standard postage. Because of that I really wasn't expecting it to arrive this morning.

Anyone see The Last of Us comics, American Dreams? I found the 1st 2 on google, the last 2 are out in a couple of weeks. 4 part series acting as a prequel to the game and what happens Ellie before she meets Joel.
