    All three should have some PC games. Where abouts are you based? Otherwise try online - play.com, amazon.co.uk, ebay.ie, etc...

    stupid shops, and their ****ing paltry amount of PC games. And they complain about the piracy.

    They have it on Steam if you're willing to do the digital distribution route.

    If you're around Dublin, GAME on Dawson St. have a decent selection. A good range of older budget titles as well (this may be old info – as I've not been there in 5 months).

    theres also game in the ilaq center, but the dawson st is bigger.
    dublin has become very poor lately for pc gamers. I much perfer to buy off steam when i can or play.com as i'll stil get the game much quicker then waiting for dublin shops to bother trying to get it.

    its the same with the entire industry. Shops dont want to sell PC games. Theyre viewed as a headache. You arent allowed to return PC Games, for one. And between the complaints and the lack of resale profitability (which gamestop and others use as their entire business model) it becomes unprofitable for them to commit much if any shelf space to pc games.
