Gamestop in Tallaght are selling it the day before.

IrishWelshCelt

just the tallagh one or gamestop in general?

You might get it midnight in a 24 hour Tesco, or you can ask nicely in any games shop might get a sound person

Try ordering it off gamestop.ie and choose express delivery. I got Deus ex on the Tuesday with it not being released officially until the Friday.

xtra-vision are usually a good bet for getting the game the evening before the release date

How would you go about getting it? Going in and chancing your arm that evening?

they just seem to stack it on the shelves once it arrives, fúck release dates!

Unless you live in the country there's slim chance you'll get it early.

Xtra Vision used to sell early but they got into a lot of trouble after a few early releases last year and not one in Galway City anyway will sell early again.

Would be much the same across the board as the likes of Game and Gamestop would have complained about all the Pre-Orders they lost due to Xtra Vision breaking the street dates.

I think they're a bit silly anyway, IMO if all the shops in a town have stock in then they should be allowed to start selling from that point.

Harvey Norman have broken street date a couple of times as well. If you're REALLY desperate, buy into the EA Sports Season Pass ticket...a bargain at just €20 for three days early access

I'd rather if people just broke in and stole €20 off me. At least then I'd be robbed unwillingly.

Really? Nice. I've pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition from there too.

Haven't gotten a phone call from them about a midnight release yet though. I'll probably pick it up at midnight as I'll be in town anyway.

Just rang GAME in Limerick about prices. Prices are for both consoles XBOX AND PS3

Regular--44.99
Special Editon---59.99
Ultimate Editon--69.99


70 euro is a lot for a few packs

Joyce88

What is the difference between Special and Ultimate editions?

Copper_pipe

In special you get 3 packs every month for 6 months..

In ultimate you get 4 packs each month

v3ttel

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeet. 70 quid. I would have went for the special edition if I had known it existed.

Pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition, and already paid €5 deposit. Hopefully I can downgrade it to the Special Edition on the day
