I said this on the bargain alerts thread but I'll say it again, gamestop have a trade 3 games and get it for €3. Be super careful with what you are trading as there really are some majorly crooked trades on the list of games they are taking!!!!! You have been warned....... twice

Pay €49.99 max for the game where ever and if trading weigh up what the games are worth if sold on adverts or treaded in out side of trade 3 and give them €3 deals. One combination based on the trade prices in gamestops own list in the window would have got me €86 for 3 games + add the €3 also wanted for the deal they have for halo :eek:

Any chance of the street date being broken? Tuesday really is a daft day to launch a game.

HMV are advertising 44.99 for Tuesday. Not sure if that's just Tuesday or not, though.

As was pointed out on Bargain Alerts, apparently the first five people in each Xtravision at midnight get the game half price. Not sure what half price is, but I'm guessing 25-30!

Edit: 49.99 plus 800 MS points in Xtravision, apparently!

Saw 49.95 in my local Tesco, had the boxes up with "14th September" on them to stop people hounding them to break the streetdate.

probably going to get it in xtra vision with the 800 points, seems reasonable considering everywhere else seems to be similarly priced

Yup just back from picking mine up in GAME in Cork there. Installing it to hard-drive there. Ended up going for the limited edition after seeing the un-boxing on Giant Bomb earlier. Was a fairly big crowd there in the end. I was number 20 to be served and it took 'em a good 40 minutes to get to me. Limited edition was €65, not sure how much the other versions were going for.

Well if it's any help it's one of the most nicely presented limited editions I've seen. The detail that's gone into the diary is great.

really shouldn't have gotten it... i sked for the limited edition but they had lots of the legendary's behind the desk... i couldn't resist... felt like a right nerd getting it and walking to the car with it!

it is pretty cool though! ...if you can get it id recommend it, i just see it as a one off!

oh well, its done now
