    we need a way to start having a release day price list of game in all the major retailers, basically I was on a tight schedule and the only proper game shop nearby was gamestop and I wanted to pick up mercs and spore last friday, and mercs was a whopping 70 euro . . . FAIL
    so I just left no way was I paying that nonsensical price but just on my way out I thought wait golden discs have the odd game and lo and behold I saved 10 euro by just going next door so I think it would be great to have some sort of list (and I'd of course want to help) which every friday (release day) has a list maybe stickied and formatted something like

    Title:

    Gamestop:
    Game:
    HMV:
    Tesco:
    Xtra-Vision:
    Smyths:
    Golden Disks:

    etc.

    I dunno maybe it's overkill but it just pisses me off like when wii fit came out there was shenanigans.

    FAIL?...

    It is important to give business to irish retailers but you are right not at such silly pricing.
    Its a good idea though, i only wish there was another name on that list who didnt make every attempt to get as much money out of there customers as they can
