    There's a new Championship Manager released every year though. And now CM4 is out CM3 is almost obsolete.
    GAME probably reckon that with HL2 coming out, the original might get a bit of demand with first time players wanting to see what all the hype is about. Also they are just rip off merchants.

    Half Life for PC has been €15 for ages. Are you sure it is not the four disc set with the blue cover that has all the extra add-ons that they are selling for €30???

    If not, then GAME have really plunged to new depths...

    The four game box set was 45 euro. i thought that was a bit much too to be honest. Maybe the girl got mixed up or something cos she brought me over this one with a blue box and half life has an orange one...so maybe it was another part of it or something...stil a rip off.

    Saw Half Life: Generations (including all the add-ons and CS) for 25 eurons in Game on Grafton st.

    It's gas, they're having a sale and most of their stuff is still about 5 quid more than Smyths.

    The Half Life bestseller edition is more like 15 or 20 euros (even in Game when I checked). Look in the budget games section.

    In Dublin city centre it's near where the IMAX was, I think they’re also some where around Dublin and in Galway.

    Dublin phone number - 01 8782878.

    UbahOne,
    It was new and they still have a few copies of the compilation, at least they did yesterday afternoon.............and they are new....

    went into the Game on Grafton Street, totally different shop, same company but like a different world for prices, and I've always found the shop on Dawson Street cheaper.......

    Wolf, everything is cheaper in Belfast now, it's generally cheaper to ship anything into Ireland from abroad though, when it comes to discounted games though you still sometimes get a bargin here.......
