    Shouldn't have called the thread "Collectors Editon" ...people might think you're talking about the MW2 Hardened Edition of the game ...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 85 ✭✭QenTox


    GameStop is selling it for €55. I have pre-ordered my copy there and going to pick it up today at midnight. As I have a PC version (from CoolShop) as well I will let it go if anyone is interested for €45 (GameStop Henry Street @ midnight).

    GAME were unable to confirm their exact price when I called in at lunchtime today but advised they expect the normal version to retail for around the €60 mark.

    i went in about 12 and they weren't going to give it to me said the deal was only valid yesterday, i said they were still doin the deal in some of the dublin branches, the guy still said no it was only on yesterday.. Then my mammy asked to speak to the manager was waiting prob about a half hour and finally they came back and said yeah you can have it for 37.77 i don't remember them saying anything about it not been there till wednesday, but they could of said something i was just happy to get it for the price..

    i did hear the girl saying that they had ten copies and 3 had been pre booked yesterday so i say they were told they could sell the ten copies for 37.77 and that was it..

    Got home and the PS3 version arrived in the post from www.coolshop.co.uk :D
    Invoice says 37.98 (sterling). Bye


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,532 ✭✭✭WolfForager


    Darn Harvey Norman charged me 55 today! Rang them yesterday and they said i could pay 37 today, however when i got in there i was told they were only permitted to sell for €55, talked to the guy who i had been on the phone to and he was extremely apologetic. Bought it anyway cos i was too lazy to go anywhere else. Now just have to pick it up on the way home tomorrow...

    They told me €50 for the standard version about 15mins ago but they couldnt confirm. Competition at work?


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


    I take it none of the shops are sell the PC Version for a ok price {if they stock it at all}.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 643 ✭✭✭Swizz


    • Xtra-Vision - €60 / €55 (Standard) / €70 (Hardened) (numerous prices mentioned.. needs confirmation) (PS3, Xbox 360)


    I got my info from Xtra Vision. I was in there and he had a price change sheet, and it had them prices on it. It was only updated a few hours ago, so the prices are definite.

    Game don't confirm prices until the very last minute, so they can adjust to remain competitive. That's what I was told once by a manager anyway!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,905 ✭✭✭bucks73


    Gamestop Dooradoyle Limerick just told me my preordered Hardened Edition will be €79.99.

    I will be out buying it somewhere else at midnight tonight as thats just too much. Anyone know of a Limerick Tesco selling it at midnight?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 642 ✭✭✭red_fox


    Might not be much use, but apparently Sainsbury's will sell it for £26

    Tesco website says the Tallaght store only opens until midnight -- anyone know if they'll be making an exception tonight? Don't wanna have to drive to Dundrum :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 326 ✭✭Animo


    I rand Harvey Norman in Tralee today. They reserved a copy for me and said to bring in the the ad in the paper that said they were selling it for €37.77. Won't be able to play it till Monday tho cos I'm in college atm and the PS3 is down here. I'll have to head home the weekend to get it from my bro.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,285 ✭✭✭MayoForSam


    I bowed to the inevitable and ordered got it for £33.81 (delivered) from amazon.co.uk - this works out at €37.75 (2c cheaper than Harvey Normans).

    Ok, so I will have to wait for a few days - however, the world will not come to an end tomorow evening before I've had the chance to play it and I'm mad busy at work until Friday anyhow. It is only a game after all.

    anyone know if tesco wexford town will be selling it for 45 at midnight?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 59 ✭✭captainscarlet


    Im pretty sure you have to reserve your copy in Harvey Normans to get the special price. And its a one day only deal.

    However to those who visit Newry regularly Sainsburys is selling the game for £26!!!!
