    they are one of the most expensive places in Eire, so it probably only puts them in line with most shops up north

    its not like they sell their games at 100euro then mark them down!

    they are generaly cheaper that any game store, all new titles they have always sold at 56euro instead of Game's 65euro

    ..that and the sales staff can usualy barter.

    Really? Did you get any discounts from bartering,I just assumed you have to pay the full price,all the time.......?

    I know you can haggle them down, but I would have thought that consoles & games weren't negotiable

    Fallout 3 for €38 is nothing amazing and Game did a very good promotion on it about a month ago (lasted a few weeks) for €25 on PS3 (and Xbox 360 I think)

    Would be worth having a look at but wouldnt go out of my way for it!

    Plus they wont haggle on a console game:rolleyes:

    Fallout was €25 in Game the last i checked

    Those are actually the retail prices of those games new in most stores. Fallout 3 might even be cheaper some places, it was 25 euro for ages in Game. I just don't get why people are so eager to grab what they assume is a bargain....if you'd gone into Game or Gamestop, between them you'd have easily gotten the same games, for the same price really - would you have bought them then?

    went there last week, no real value in the games, even with the 40% off
    and the 20% off the consoles is probably moot as there are other shops doing better bundles

    this morning i got Fallout 3 for 38euro,

    Ouch... you got ripped man, it was 23 in HMV a few weeks ago...


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


    Not even good prices in fairness. I got the limted edition fallout 3 for xbox 360 for €30 in gamestop months ago.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,411 ✭✭✭oceanclub


    They're very high "bargain" prices... I got the collector's edition of Fallout 3 at release for that price.

    Go, Harvey, go, as far away as possible.
