    Got the PC version there for €45 in HMV, Liffey Valley. Lots of PC copies left, from looking at the box. Also saw lots of XBOX and PS3 copies as well, but price unknown.

    HMV in Liffey Valley is open until 21:00 tomorrow (Wednesday).

    Loads of stock left in Tesco, Ashbourne this evening. Picked it up there.

    Some bright spark got a big display case and moved all the copies up to the front of the shop.

    Good thinking mysterious shop assistant.

    I bought mine in xtravision in shankill, traded MW2 in and got 20 squids for it so I paid 49.99 for the hardened edition.

    Is that just the regular edition or do they have the hardened/veteran edition too?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,818 ✭✭✭Minstrel27


    I only saw the regular edition in Tesco yesterday


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 703 ✭✭✭SolarNexus

    None in the display I took a picture of, there could be some in the back with the other games, but I would highly doubt Tescos would have hardened or prestige editions anyway.

    GameStop on Henry Street and Liffey Street confirmed that they still have copies of the regular version. No Hardened.

    Picking up a copy today. Does anyone know if you can download the additional maps on XBOX Live once you've got the standard version?

    Also - would love to hear if anyone got the prestige and tried the remote control car for real?! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,459 ✭✭✭T-b0n3


    Any one know if there is any stock left in Tesco Dundrum/Nutgrove/Tallaght? Or anywhere else near by for that matter.

    Don't feel like paying extra to get it in Xtravison or any where else.

    Thanks

    I also need to know about these areas. Preferrably Dundrum/Nutgrove. I assume I will be able to get it somewhere in Dundrum though, just not tesco.

    Him - But customer service desk is closed

    Me - Is this honestly a wind up?

    Him - I'm sorry sir but I dont know why she said that

    Me - Can you have a look behind the desk please

    Him - But I dont work on customer service

    Me - Can I speak with a manager?

    Him - Hang on I'll get the night manager

    *Manager enters scene*

    Me - Hi, I'm looking for call of duty Black Ops on xbox,was told there was loads of copies left.

    Nah I didn't wanna be the right cúnt as I would have had to trek about 15/20 miles to get it elsewhere. This was at about 22:30 last night so everywhere was closed.

    I was pretty brazen with them and let them know I was pissed, without being a d!ck. Although I was fair smart to the first fella.. What a complete tool he was.

    I picked up the Harrdened Edition for the ps3 there on Monday night in HMV Cork eg at 12.00 with out a pre order so i was delighted there but it was 80 euros


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,019 ✭✭✭KilOit


    Got it for €47 on Steam but guild mate paid for it in Britain as a gift then just pay pal him, i rather my games on Steam judging by the pc version it needs updates badly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,008 ✭✭✭rabbitinlights


    Anyone know if Tesco Dundrum has any left?

    S/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 623 ✭✭✭Shy_Dave!


    Bought it for 45 (PC) in Gamestop Waterford yesterday...
    When installing I am getting a 'duplicate product code' for my cd key. :rolleyes:
    Steam support still haven't replied 24 hours later and I doubt Gamestop will give me any help by exchanging it for another copy etc. Good times...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    When are we gonna know if the crap on the hardened edition will become dlc?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 7,943 Mod ✭✭✭✭Yakult


    Anyone know what kinda prices the pc version is going for? Only have Smyths and Gamestop to go to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,705 ✭✭✭Mr Trade In


    Did anyone buy the prestige edition and if so is the car any use,I have one preordered but still have not picked it up due to lack of funds and am wondering is the car worth the extra €100.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    Was Tescos price just a release special?
    I checked on their site the other day and it seems to have gone up to normal rates.

    So is it safe to say Tesco are offering Black Ops to us at the best price? Will have to pop into my local branch. Hope it wasn't just a release price and it's gone back up now! They might drop it for Christmas, gonna leave it til the last minute in hope.

    It is gone back up, they won't drop the price again.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 500 ✭✭✭JOSman


    Checked HMV Tuesday and it was €52 or €54.

    They are everywhere! The nearest one to me is in Charlestown Shopping Centre. They are also in Blanch, The Square, etc as well.

    hmmm im apparantly living dangerously close to a mod.......

    personally after all the ringburn trouble i had with my copy id get it out of a gamestop or a game store where you can get the insurance on it . in all likelyhood you'l be playing this for the year last thing you want is to damage the disk you'l just end up paying extra for another copy

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    Probably adverts.

    The retailers prices keep fluctuating.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 767 ✭✭✭claiva


    I'd say you could pick one up second hand in Gamestop or Xtra Vision or somewhere.

    is that legal or what like ? looks like there just selling cd keys to use on steam but that cant be right or you'd have to be buying them off steam ?

    not very legal at all


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 284 ✭✭jackoire


    not very legal at all

    Yeah there legal, there just selling foriegn keys like russain etc, blackops cost like $14-$15 in russia. Steam do have a region block on some of there games, thats why keys4.me activates them for you.

    Ive used these before and will never buy anywhere else again. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,565 ✭✭✭✭Tallon


    So you've just proved they're illegal

    They have region lock for a reason

    Well there just not authorized to resell keys, there breaking steam's TOS. They also sell EA keys and some retail keys. Bit of a grey area, otherwise i guess they'd be shut down.
