Black Ops Pricing

Antigone05 · 31-10-2010 9:38pm #1

hey all

did some pricing with Black Ops with retailers (Xbox and PS3)
(bricks and mortar only)

Smyths - 54.99
Xtra-Vision - between 49.99 and 54.99
HMV - between 45 and 49 euro UPDATED - €52.99
Game - no confirmed price, he reckoned 54.99
Gamestop - 54.99
Harvey Norman - unconfirmed €44.00 (this is now definite, advertising to go out on it this weekend apparently)
Tesco - only rumors so far, 40.00, but wont have it on launch (UK pricing in the UK is £39.90, so i cant imagine a €40 price, maybe €44-€48, still no information on stock on release date)

if anyone has anything to add or update feel free to

Its between Harvey Normans and Tescos at the moment i reckon

Any reason why Tesco won't have it on launch?

CR 7 · 31-10-2010 9:56pm

Viking Direct- €41.99

€5 delivery though, but I ordered it earlier on this week with 30% off, and I'm not too worried about not getting it on release day. Best price I found.

Apparently that's what it sold for last year on release date...

UnknownSpecies · 31-10-2010 10:31pm

Yup I got it for 40 in Tesco on release day. They had loads of copies down my local Tesco.

Headshot · 31-10-2010 10:33pm

has it been confirmed tesco wont have it on launch day?

tommy_irish23 · 31-10-2010 10:55pm

they had fifa 11 for 40e on lanch day so hopefully they`ll have black ops for 40e.

iMuse · 31-10-2010 11:49pm

The thing about tesco is that it varies by store, some will have loads of copies, some will have none, some will have it on launch, some wont. You wont really know until the 9th what the story is. id expect a price war between the supermarkets in the UK over this so hopefully tesco here follow suit

Pre-ordered the 360 hardened edition in XV yesterday (no other b'n'm around for miles) and had to put a deposit of €5 on it.
On the receipt that the girl behind the counter gave me, it said outstanding balance of €118.45 :eek:

I questioned her on it and she said that it was just some number that the system had in there to take pre-orders and that they had no idea of how the different versions were going to be priced yet, but it obviously wouldn't be that much.

Some shock to the system initially though.

fmcattack · 01-11-2010 1:29am

Would like some clarification on Tesco if possible, planned to either get a lift to Clarehall at midnight or get up early and walk from Raheny dart station, anyone know for definite what the deal is because I've heard from a few places they wont have it on the day.

Tallon · 01-11-2010 9:14am

I'll be driving around all night if tesco don't have it.

There are loads around me anyway, so I'll deffo get it (I hope

)

Battleflag · 01-11-2010 10:25am

Work for Tesco myself but we havent heard anything in the store Im working in, I know Fable 3 was selling for £35 in the UK and €35 here so we could be getting the same pricing

fmcattack · 01-11-2010 10:53am

Do tesco sell pc games?

Battleflag · 01-11-2010 11:09am

No just consoles

cotterman2 · 01-11-2010 11:52pm

Anybody know what price it will be in Argos it's usually cheap enough and they usually have alot in stock , when I got FIFA 11 it was sold out in all three Tesco's near me and Argos had 30+ copies, this was the day after release date.

Good price. unfortunately they are sold out. ah well, I'll keep looking!

Thedogsgone · 02-11-2010 3:27pm

Going to trade in Medal of Honor against this...any ideas which store might give me the best value?

Saruwatari · 02-11-2010 3:33pm

I preordered the Hardened edition in GAME msyelf. They've always been rubbish when it comes to getting solid prices, so I've questioned two seperate stores.

The one in the Ilac Shopping Center just said roughly €70-€80. Liffey Valley's outlet actually checked their register but said there wasn't anything solid either, and quoted the same estimation.

Liam O · 02-11-2010 4:03pm

anyone gotten an update about whether Tesco will have in on launch day?

blobert · 02-11-2010 4:46pm

I'm interested in the hardened xbox edition with extra Nazi Zombie maps, any idea on where will be cheapest for this?

They aren't sold out, they're just not in stock yet, you have to pre order it.

cherryghost · 02-11-2010 7:05pm

PC version is 40-45 euro everywhere, except steam -_-

Antigone05 · 02-11-2010 9:08pm

ive updated some pricing on the first page, still no confirmations from Tesco. will get more info tomorrow.

so far (that is confirmed) Harvey Norman is cheapest at €44

Nuri Sahin · 02-11-2010 9:36pm

Bah, nearest Harvey Normans to me is in Naas or Rathfarnham.

I'll be Tesco hopefully in the morning so I'll ask them then and post it up on here.
