    I think these are only supposed to be sold as part of a bundle deal, though I could be mistaken.

    You are correct...you are mistaken!
    They are sometimes bundled but its a bundle in itself
    The Carphonewarehouse shops are selling them too for same price!

    Just picked up the last two in stock from Blanchardstown.

    The games come in a single case (labeled as "bundle copy"), but with two discs and original two instruction manuals.

    In theory it might be possible to trade-in if you had an extra case and a reasonable copy of the case insert !!

    Only when you buy a game. And the awesome green ones are €24.99 too but can only be sold with FIFA :(

    WiFi adapter is €44.99 this week with any game though, that's a good deal but still more than it should cost.

    Agreed, the Wifi adaptor is a total rip off. Should be built in like the PS3 and Wii

    For anyone that has wireless & a laptop ICS works well.


  • Site Banned Posts: 5,676 ✭✭✭jayteecork


    Anyone in Cork should be aware that they have this in both Carphone Warehouse on Pana and Tesco Mahon point right now, both priced @ €39.99.

    Nope it wasn't, the part saying 'When purchased with x' was scribbled out with marker.

    No idea if they've any left though haven't been in since really.

    The have loads left in Swords but you have to ask for them because they were taken off display because 5 of them got stolen off the floor.

    anyone know about carrickmines????

    ICS?

    Internet Connection Sharing. I'm open to correction on this, but I think it works as follows.

    Laptop connects to your wireless router. You then put your laptop beside your 360 and run an ethernet cable from one to the other. There's then some way of letting your 360 connect to the internet via your laptop, but I'm not entirely sure on how you do this. However, this article might help you with that.

    Another way to get around having to buy a wireless adapter is to put your router beside your console (provided that there's a telephone line nearby) and simply connect your router to your console via an ethernet cable.

    Hope this helps.

    Just picked up 2 from Harvey Norman in Carrickmines. Had about 10 left on the shelf. It says on the box that they should only be sold with a console but no problem buying seperately.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,813 ✭✭✭BaconZombie


    From talking to the manager of Sword brand they could not give then away with new system so are not selling then off cheap to clear the store levels before year-end.

    I just called Harvey Norman nutgrove and he laughed pretty much and said no we don't have that deal. And the only wireless controller deal was with PS3. Strange!

    I was in Harvey Norman in Nutgrove last night also. They dont have them.

    Edit... Xtra-Vision in Stillorgan were looking for €99.99 for it when I called in yesterday. Same thing but different packaging so I reckon Xtra-Vision's bundle are supposed to be sold without console.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,594 ✭✭✭johnnyrotten


    I was in HMV today. Could't belive that this was €146.99.
    I asked the manager who said that it should only be sold as part of a bundle and thats why some shops were offloading at €40.
    He got embarrased when i asked him how he could justify selling it for €147 when he was not allowed to sell unless part of a bundle :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,943 ✭✭✭Burning Eclipse


    Just picked this up in Tesco Crescent SC Limerick. Deal of the week!! :) The little one will be happy out Christmas morning! So will I ;)
