..as the title says. They have some just at the front door for 55. they are 60 in the games section! Came up 60 on the till but I pointed out the price tag on the box so 55 it was. Its a nice metal box (ltd ed?)

55 is for the standard. 60 is the ltd edition.

I know someone that bought the tin edition in Virgin, it had a €55 sticker on the front and that's what he paid too. This was in Blanch.

The one in Limerick has 55 on the standard, and 60 on the tin. I'd say it's just a pricing mistake by whatever stores.

yep absolutely it was a mistake! the till reg'd 60 but the price tag on the tin was 55. they could get into serious bother with the scanned price being different from the stickered price so have to sell it for 55.

Are you sure about that? I thought the law was that once they alerted you to the fact that it was more expensive than the sticker then it was OK?

pretty sure..i dont know consumer legislation that well but i remember supermarkets getting done a few yrs ago for that very thing. yer man didnt even challenge the 55 price today despite 60 coming up on his reg.

The price on display is only an offer. They are not entitled to accept your offer of 55 if it was an error. Most companies will though out of customer service, rather than legislation.

ah well either way its there for 55 at the mo'!

I bought mine there, €55 on the tin, €55 came up on the reg and I took it from the usual games section.

I bought mine in Virgin Liffey Valley (the tin case one) for 55 euro on the release day. I then was in the shop a week later and its now priced at 60 euro.

Picked up mine yesterday for €55 in virgin Dundrum. about half the boxes where marked 55, and the rest 60.

The box scanned at 60 but the guy looked at the price pressed a few buttons and I got it for 55.
