    Ah, I'm sure they'll come down before release. I'd expect around €70 at release and for the 1st while and eventually they'll settle around the level of today's prices. It happens every generation. I'm pretty sure Gears of War was €70 when it came out, as an example.

    Not that I plan on getting 1 initially. I'll wait a year or 2 and then decide.

    Nah ms and Sony can piss off PC build is the way I'm gonna go

    I'm actually thinking of the same thing atm to be honest. I might get a PS4 later (when it's cheaper 3 or 4 years down the line) for the exclusives, depending on what's built up by then. I can't see myself getting an Xbox though, there's just nothing that I'd miss too much. I enjoy Halo but if I go for the PC the multiplayer shooter choice and quality is massive. I'd probably just go for Battlefield or something.

    You know you'll still probably have to use Windows, right?

    This is the first time a console has launched into such an uncompetitive environment - no game, no HMV, no zavvi/virgin, currys/pc world have ditched their games stock, the hut own most etailers that aren't Amazon.... Not to mention that the launch price is high, unlikely to fall in the first year and the recession is still biting deep. Prices come down because someone starts undercutting. And that happens when you have a lot of suppliers, a large market and plenty of spending money floating around

    Hmm, that is a very good point. It will be interesting to see what happens. Whether or not the Xbox has the speculated drm will also play a part (it would reduce the ability to undercut price). Another factor could be the digital shops. At the moment they're ridiculous but Sony have shown signs of heading in the right direction with the Vita. Interesting times ahead (although I'm now leaning even more towards the PC route)

    Not exactly a bargain, but nevertheless a decent purchase for WiiU - triple your controller battery life :

    Apparently it plays much better on Wii though, as the Wii U version you can only play Mickey on the pad, and Oswald on the wii remote. The opposite would make much more sense!

    Arkham city for 25 delivered


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    I already have it on both PS3 and PC... I'd lent my PS3 edition to a mate, and the PC version was uber cheap in the steam sale... :pac:

    Here's one I'm considering though:
    Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing: Transformed - €20.74
    Tried the demo, and it's not bad! It controls pretty nicely with the Control Pad Pro. (Which I'm really liking the feel of)
    For those of you that have it, with local multi-player, can you play with one player on the game pad, one on the TV, or does it force splitscreen?


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    For those that missed the Zavvi deal, Asda have dropped the Nintendoland bundle down to £249.

    http://direct.asda.com/Nintendo-Wii-U-32GB-Console-%28Black%29-%28Premium-Pack%29-Nintendo-Land/003774372,default,pd.html

    I don't think they'll deliver that to a store for collection, and I don't think they extended their deliveries to the republic beyond trial so you'd have to chance Parcel Motel.

    Not Zavvi-good but still a damn site better than the 400 quid Smyths'll charge you for a bricks n mortar sale. Also, it's one more facet of the Hut Group that's dropping the price, Amazon can't hold out forever...


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Cool! May pick one up this Saturday when I'm in Strabane.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    Not sure that price is instore but God speed!

    More Arkham City bonanza business
    http://www.dvd.co.uk/buy/catbatcitywiiu/batman-arkham-city-armored-edition-wii-u.htm

    They deliver here but no idea what they charge. £16.99 is the asking price


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,205 ✭✭✭✭DARK-KNIGHT

    I see asda also have a bundle of Premium with Nintendoland and New Super Mario U for £265

    Here

    So considering the cost of Mario, this would work out about the same price as Zavi's offer

    I think I was the only person in the universe to give it a good review. I thought it was good fun, if a bit technically blighted in places

    Absolute must have. Better than any MK game since Double Dash

    You can play one on the pad, one on the TV (or one on the pad, several on the TV I think - we've never done more than 2 player in the office locally though... which is pretty bloody odd now that I think of it given how often it's played)

    Has anyone seen price listings for ps4 games?? 85-90 euro??? WTF no thank you... Wii u all the way

    Pay no heed to those. RRP is the same as it is on the current gen, and you'll see the same discounts offered

    Yeah I got it for free & then got a €2 DLC addon, the campaign mode remains locked until purchase though

    Nintendoland 32gb bundle has dropped to £250 on Amazon

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B008B5YB4W/ref=ox_sc_sfl_image_1?ie=UTF8&m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

    I knew leaving that in my basket would pay off one day. Asda may still have a better deal on but at least with Amazon you won't have all that messing with addresses
