    Return of the Lucky Dip wouldn't be so bad.. As long as they remove some of the rubbish games link Golden Compass etc..

    I'd go in for a lucky bag again, although three things I bought last time are still in their plastic wrap. :o

    I was on the Uncharted 3 page and the option to add to basket was there. I pressed it but it never added anything to my basket.

    Great start.

    Their server is taking a lot of traffic at the moment, getting web crashes myself because its taking so long to load. Dunno if the game is still available now though (site won't load :/) so apologies if I got your hopes up and its not available anymore.

    Still, would be an idea to keep an eye on both in case you miss a deal on the .ie site

    Yeah, it will be, no doubt. Its a pity as its such a great game, but the online numbers have halved dramatically since that little known FPS game came out :rolleyes::(
    PS - is there a new game put up every hour on the hour?
    Yes but it usually is leaked out about 5 to the hour, so be ready as if its a very good deal, they ebay sharks will snap them up.

    New offer every hour. Thought there would be more offers per hour though not just the one game! Hopefully as the day goes on they start adding more.

    I loved the first one but my copy of GoW2 is still unopened.. so I should make a start on that before picking up GoW2.

    At least Gamestop.ie did the decent thing and limited it to 1 per person.

    Yeah, the story for GOW 2 is good enough, the online is broken and awful though. Full of boosters, people abusing cheap tactics, cheaters and glitchers. Its not essential to play the GOW 2 story though, as there is a recap thing in the menu in GOW 3.

    GOW 3 is a massive step up, online and story is much better.
    At least Gamestop.ie did the decent thing and limited it to 1 per person.
    Ah right, at least a better chance of getting a game if its a really good deal anyway.

    Use the 'check4change' addon for Firefox and it'll alert you when the page changes with Davie Bowie in your ear. Not sure if it's still working though.
