    In Argos,
    throughout the country.
    may be a misprice but they have been honouring it today anyway

    its 30 euro online and on the catalogue but when you enter it into the stock checker comes up as 19.99.


    The cheapest i could find elsewhere is 35 euro on play.com

    Cheers, OP. Just picked this up in Argos in Liffey Valley. Great price, definitely seems like a mistake though.

    I picked this up for 20 euro in Argos in Stephens Green a couple of days ago. Thanks OP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 247 ✭✭irishbigfoot


    Still coming up at €19.99 today...of course I bought it in Game for 38.99 the day before the OP posted...grrrrr
    BTW Sendit seem to have the cheapest price for Mirrors Edge at Stg 17.89 and they are quick enough to ship.

    Do sendit (like Play.com) force Irish buyers to purchase at their own Euro rate? Cos if they do, you're paying €21.49 , whereas Asda (who, contrary to the statement on their website DO actually ship outside the UK ) are charging £17.91 stg, which equals €18.65 on conversion.

    Afaik Sendit still allow you to pay in sterling.

    Sendit ship for free to Ireland, north and south, and allow you to pay in either sterling or euro. I use sendit often.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,220 ✭✭✭CyberWaste


    Im sure when people first found out about this offer they bought a few and traded them in for a profit, but I say when the shops found out about it they lowered the value of a trade in of fable 2.

    That may very well be the case, even though I really find it hard to believe that they gave €38.99 for it in the first place weather it be cash or credit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,964 ✭✭✭Podge2k7


    Iv been considering this game and for €20 im probably gonna pick it up!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,875 ✭✭✭ShoulderChip


    it is excellent fun.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,349 ✭✭✭Samurai


    Oo looks like i'll have to leave my house tomorrow


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,200 ✭✭✭muppetkiller


    I got 38.99 credit for it as I told them I got it as a gift but didn't want it..it was still sealed so they said fine :)
    I buy loads of stuff in there anyway so maybe they were just doing me a favor.

    maybe it's not a glitch in the system, that they're just sellin it at that price, and argos just haven't corrected the website yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,142 ✭✭✭ciano1

    It was last week as well. Should still be 20 euro in store. Call the reserve line and see what price it quotes you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,371 ✭✭✭acquiescefc


    Still 19.99 as of 1pm today..

    thanks to OP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,507 ✭✭✭nitromaster


    Saw this elsewhere but anyway.
    Yesterday checked argos.ie to make sure there was stock in argos Castlebar before heading over there. Said No Stock but I headed over anyway to buy other games.
    Went into argos and decided to check stock of fable 2 anyway just for the heck of it. 5 copies in stock even though the website said there was none :)
    Bought one so presumably there's four left now :pac:
