    I think its too early to know. Its out on Tuesday so I'm sure prices will start popping up at the start of the week.

    I ordered on Zavvi's website yesterday for £29.99 (about £31 inc. postage) which is in or around the €40 mark. Got dispatch email a half hour after ordering. Probably means I won't be playing on launch day, but I'm not too pushed.

    HMV are normally around the €45 mark for the the first few days. Unsure about Tescos. If they think they'll sell enough, they'll undercut all the major retailers.




  • Are you sure its out next Tuesday.. Usually thoose crap european dates mean it won't be out till that Friday...

    If you can four-pack on Steam with someone from the UK you can pick up both Bioshock 1 and 2 for less than €25 together... Finding such people may be tricky though.

    damn it, thought this was a few weeks out yet :mad:

    Well at least I can finish mass effect 2 while I hunt the best deal for this one.

    was in hmv grafton st today there was a sign up saying it would be 45e.

    Just got a text from Smyths - apparently they're going out at €39.99 until Friday!! I might have to pick up a copy at that price :-)


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,241 ✭✭✭god's toy


    On line, D2d have it for £26.95


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    Tesco is 54.99 , the plus is they are selling it early.

    Left it where it was I can wait to get it in smyths :D

    can anyone else confirm tesco are selling it early?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,091 ✭✭✭Antar Bolaeisk


    No idea but it won't make a difference if you do manage to get your hands on it early as the servers won't authenticate the game until after it's been officially released.


  • Registered Users Posts: 521 ✭✭✭disco girl


    Yeah I'm going to wait and get mine in Smyths...they're selling the special edition for €59.99...:D

    hmv - 44.99




  • Any stores giving it out early?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 15,237 Mod ✭✭✭✭FutureGuy

    Not in Limerick city centre. I'm sure that when one store drops the price, they all will.

    Wonder if it would be worth the 5 minute walk to tescos at midnight... probably not...

    Oh... 5 minute walk at midnight so it is.

    What's your local one? I'm heading to Artane...

    Will post back here if I have any luck.




  • Picked mine up coming home from work in Tesco in Athlone, wahey! The price was spot on btw. Now time for some beer.

    My local is nutgrove and they where selling @ 2 this afternoon :D
    I'd say save yourself some € and wait for smyths in the morning for 39.99

    €15 isn't exactly small change these days :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 629 ✭✭✭lizardfudge


    May do.... Thought I'd be finished Mass Effect by now... but it's the game that keeps on giving...


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,814 ✭✭✭Nemanja91


    59.99 for the collectors edition is fairly good value considering the stuff you get with it, you get a huge 168 page art book, an LP with soundtrack and a CD, and you get 3 lithographs and its well presented
