    Got a Shipping notice from amazon today. Says shipping method An Post so *hopefully* this means they have shipped it from Dublin not the UK. Which should mean Thursday or possibly tomorrow (but Im doubtful)

    Smyths have a half price PS3 esential kit (15 euro) when you buy MW2 for 45. Kit includes the Triggers a HDMI Cable and wireless headset. Think you can get 3 months free live subscription with the 360 version.

    Still waiting for my Coolshop order.

    Ordered Nov 4th with express shipping.

    Tracking number not provided initially, on contacting customer services the tracking number they then gave was not found on the couriers site.

    Contacted customer service again. Order was shipped last night. No apology, No communication. Way to go Coolshop, thanks for the outstanding and exemplary customer service :rolleyes:

    i asked was the price 37e, and i was told no, that was yesterday only and its now priced on 59euro?

    Ya, it was introductory offer only. This is said in a number of forums relating to MW2 prices.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,036 ✭✭✭BArra


    sorry that was a typo on waw2 :rolleyes:

    meant mw2

    Balls...I ordered mine from them yesterday with express delivery.. i hope i dont have the same trouble :(

    EDIT: For people that ordered from CoolShop.co.uk with express delivery, you can check your tracking code HERE. Put your code in "By Consignment Number:" on the bottom of page.

    Mine has moved from "Croydon" to "Preston" today. Hope it moves quicker to Ireland. The only strange thing is the status says delivered :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 837 ✭✭✭CutzEr


    Tesco in Ennis, they only had 2 ps3 copies left (and I got one of them) so safe to assume they are all out, but they still have 20+ x360 copies.

    You sure about this yes? If so its a great deal, and I'll go in to get it tomorrow!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    I was in Smyths on tuesday and didn't see anything about free XBL or ps3 essential kit. But I could be wrong or mightn't have noticed a poster in the shop. Best bet is to give them a ring and find out.

    Got a copy in Tesco in Nutgrove today for 45. The had plenty of copies for both 360 and PS3 there today at 12.30. Also checked HN's across the road. They had no copies nor any evidence that they had it (eg, no posters or anything)

    Absolutely not, they can do absolutely nothing about people buying steam keys elsewhere for games for cheaper in other juristictions or a little over wholesale prices.

    If you can see the shipping status then you should be fine. In my case there was no record of it on the system, the game did not leave the warehouse.

    Where can i find the Consignment Number?

    Assuming that you selected Express shipping and they used UK Mail, it should be a 14-digit code visible on the order summary page that looks something like this: [font=&quot]30357770000nnn[/font]

    If there is no tracking ref you will have to contact coolshops customer services giving them the order #
    and they will provide it. Easiest way seems to be via the chat helpline.

    Ask them to keep the window open while you check its a valid tracking reference. Good luck with it...

    Thanks cdb, i will look into that now.

    I'm pretty sure that coolshop.co.uk express delivery is meant for UK only.

    I ordered mine without express delivery on Wednesday the 4th and received it on Monday.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,869 ✭✭✭Alkers


    Anyone know if theres any stock in Tesco Nutgrove/Dundrum today? Trying to contact them by phone is useless! Are they charging €64.99 or still the €45 does anyone know?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 885 ✭✭✭kendragon


    Stole this from IGN

    Activision has revealed its own internal sales estimate numbers for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

    In the first 24 hours, the title has sold approximately 4.7 million copies in North America and the United Kingdom, and generated $310 million in sales, making it the biggest launch in the history of all forms of entertainment.


    Incredible stuff... but It is an incredible game

    And every store seemed to have more than enough copies available..no having to wait because of selling out..very well handled launch day all round has to be said


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,120 ✭✭✭shrapnel222


    I stand corrected. I think I read it another thread though.

    to be fair, considering they're the cheapest and the number of orders they must have received, it's no big surprise a few are going astray. glad mine didn't though:D

    Tesco in Rathmines had loads of them half an hour ago, both formats, at 44.99. On a stand as you go in beside the fruit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,869 ✭✭✭Alkers


    Read the above post at about 19.30 and headed straight to Tesco Rathmines. They have a good few left but the 360 versions are up to €64.99, PS3 still €44.
    99. Ended up getting it in SMYTHS on Mary St. for €44.99 despite it being €64.99 on smyths.ie

    Both games are still €45 in Tesco, they went up to €65 this morning for some reason and then went back down.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,120 ✭✭✭shrapnel222


    just a quick word of warning. if you are a PC user with an ATI X1000 series card, don't bother getting this game for the moment as there are big compatibility problems


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,513 ✭✭✭Sleipnir


    Amazon are offering it for £32 which works out at around €36. Am I missing something here?

    Went and ordered it from Amazon thinking it was £32. However, they add VAT at the very end which brings it up to £39 (€44). This is the same price as Tesco are selling for so went and cancelled the order
