    Cool - same as South Africa eShop then !

    Exactly. There's just a handful of e-shops where you can't use your Irish card on, i believe. Russia isn't one of them :)

    I'm really tempted to get one myself but I'm torn between having a wife and being buried alone in a cardboard robot suit

    Surely your wife wouldn't object to you getting a robot suit to go with your (avatar)robot head

    Fantastic bargain, hope they don't decide to stop honouring this before tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed.

    Edit: forgot to say thanks very much for the heads up amadablam.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Technically, the cardboard suit could, loosely, constitute a biodegradable coffin and save you money in the long run?

    Is that not enough justification for you ? :D:D

    Click and collect... that's what I did. They confirmed my order and gave me an order number/PIN to show in the store.

    I used click and collect. All I got was the Labo Robot box, originally marked as €89.99. Did others get more than that, I'm confused :confused:

    When you say 'all I got was the Labo Robot box' im hoping it had contents?? :confused:

    Haven't opened it yet but the game is in the box if you look online, it's on YouTube as well. The game cases on the shelves are for display purposes only, according to the guys working there.

    Haha yeah well i haven't opened it but i'm assuming it has the contents other than an empty box :D

    Just sounds like others got more items alongside it or I'm misunderstanding?

    The Cidonalad informs me he has no interest in Labo robot suits at all... 15 year olds.... dang.
    Still, nothing to stop a 46 year old man from living out his hitherto unrealised Gundam/Battletech fantasies in the coming weeks.

    Big thanks for the Labo link. Easy present for the two bigger kids. Now just have to find a way to discourage the two year old from wanting to use it too. Maybe I should buy two...

    Loads on offer in Argos at the moment. I've been using the €5.99 one for a good while now with no issues throwing it in a backpack.

    Got Bendy and the Ink Machine this afternoon in Argos in Swords.
    Pretty cheap, €25.99.
    Same price as on the other formats.
    Oddly, not coming up on the website, but it is on the in-store computers.
    Only one in stock in Swords though, and I own it!
