Spirit Tracks wasn't from the Tesco sale was it? The only decent DS game on sale in my local was De Blob 2 (€3).

Some Tesco's had it, alas none I was in. So I ended up buying it from Adverts from someone who did pick it up. I paid €12 for it, which isn't half bad for a new/sealed one really.

There were no decent 3DS games in my local Tesco, only shovelware.

Did pick up a few 360 games though for a fiver each.

Just got the very fun Hugmonster for my Android phone, with the latest in HD ascii graphics!

Can't find the last story at any of the 4 tesco I went to lol, metroid was a long shot, seem last story was 2

o1s1n

My mam was the one looking in Tesco for me.

'Okay so some of the Wii games for €5, Singstar, Cooking blah blah, Metroid, some Guitar Hero or something..'

'Metroid?! is it Metroid Prime Trilogy?! (almost certain it is after seeing folks here picking it up)

'No, it's called something else, Metroid ...... Other M'



Just when you think you can't get burned any more by that game, it goes and does it again.

Keithgeo was at that too.
Luckily I got one. I love Kilrush. There's actually loads in CEx in limerick and they are mint like. €35 but still.

So picked up some games in the Rage. Ended up talking to some customers in there for ages.

I picked up The Note on PS1. Never heard of it. Supposedly it's a very bad but interesting horror game. Seems really rare, never came out in the US and the price was a bit lower than ebay so took a chance. It's in absolutely perfect nick as well.

Also took a chance on a NES game called Blue Shadow. It looked decent in the screenshots and was a 1990 game from Taito so figured it would be decent if not great.

Turns out it's the European name for Shadow of the Ninja which is an absolutely cracking ninja game from Natsume, delighted with that.

My mistake was worse haha, I know nothing about metroid if I'm honest so I checked here saying people where looking for it so being nice I bought 3 copies of it. Only when I got home I realised everyone was looking for trilogy not other m haha. .so I've 3 copies of it now.

It's a really good game, a bit like Shinobi/Ninja Gaiden with a bit of Bionic Commando thrown in.

Clare hall Tesco has a ton of PS3, 360 and DS stuff, in a few stands about the shop.
I picked up De Blob 2, Dragon Quest MJ2, Last Window and Viva Pinata, all for the DS. They had a decent selection of other bits and bobs.

Viva pinata on the DS is actually pretty decent if you liked the 360 version. I got it in tesco too but have played it previously via some other means...

Yeah, it sounded good when I read up on it. I'll get it again in the future for sure, when I have my AV Famicom. Any day now

Ah grand for me so, as according to Teso customer care I can just pop into Clarehall as its just down the road from me here in County Clare. :rolleyes:

Is that Dragon Quest MJ2 any good? I picked it up just cause it was Dragon Quest and cheap.

I got that for Cidonalad, his birthday is in a month or so and it's a game he's been after, at least part of his pressie anyway. And for €3 as well.

Supposed to be exceptionally good.

And my total tesco haul excluding doubles and stuff I picked up for other people. Too much to show it all individually. All in all it was €81 for everything here which is a steal.

Hmm
Interesting trip to Tesco Ashbourne just now.
Got a game in hand and scanned it at the customer price check thing and Nintendogs and Cats came back as costing 1c, or a single penny!
So I buys it, head to the car and then be remembering there was another copy there, but a different dog.
Nipped back in and snaps it up.
Scan it, again 1c.
I go to the serve yourself register when the attendant lady there says "1c? That can't be right" and walks off with it to her manager, after I'd paid for it with a single cent coin. Damn, should have videoed that.
She comes back to tell me it is €5, I reply "I've already paid for it", and produce my receipt.
The manager comes over and says it must be a scanning error, so I rescan it in front of her, 1c says the display.
So, off I walk with my second copy of Nintendogs and Cats having spent the massive sum of 2c on them.
Now to flip them on Adverts for a fiver each!

Flaregon

lol thats 49000% profit ROFL.

CiDeRmAn

Also, new item in the Nintendo Club catalogue.
It's the Super Mario 3D World soundtrack and it's a double cd set. Not only that but it's only 3000 points, which is less than the single cd soundtrack to Super Mario Galaxy. So that's on the way from Nintendo central.

I was out there this evening hoping to find something good.

Its been cleared out completely. I managed to get a few bits in Tesco ballybeg. Dont bother with polebery either, nothing there!

CiDeRmAn

Tesco Ashbourne seems to have a good few PS3 and 360 titles there, as well as a few DS ones.
Nothing of note for the Wii though, and no more Nintendogs either

Oddly enough the copies of Duke Forever don't seem to be shifting at a tenner... though I'd probably bite if it was a fiver.

Atavan-Halen

Anything interesting seem to be left in tesco?

Picked this up today



My 3DS library seems to be growing quite rapidly!

Someone on the bargain alerts thread had their 1c game taken off them after they had paid for it.

Tesco Ennis, had a load of new stuff out today, I picked up another copy of Mario 3D Land on 3DS - which I have up as a trade on adverts and will pop up here as well.


My 3DS library has exploded in th last 6 months. Ever since I stop collecting retro stuff, I've been paying more attention to the 3DS and been playing stuff a lot more as well.
Started getting Wii stuff as well, since I picked up Fire Emblem for 7 quid in the wild and most of the stuff for the Wii has been in the wild gets.
I've gotten Fire Emblem for 7 as I said, Smash Bros for 5, Xenoblade LE for 20, Monster Hunter Tri for 5, last story for 5, Mario Kart for ten (thanks Atavan!), Pokepark for 5 and Pandora's Tower LE for 40. Not too shabby a start and might be picking up a kirby adventure for 25 soon also. Oh and I got Skyward Sword for 15 and all of those were new apart from Fire Emblem and Pandora.

Haven't bought anything off ebay in months. Actually quite enjoying this self inflicted withdrawal from collecting the older stuff. Playing more and scourging online a lot less.

Fairly sure once a shop accepts your money, a contract is created & the above would be against consumer law?

I'd like to see that one go to the small claims court. :P

A friend of a lad I work with said his brother got a blu ray player in tesco for 1c

Must be some flaw In their price reduction stuff because it was meant to be just 20 euro off, I'd love to know how to take full advantage of it

Oh yeah your in the right 100%, sure Holland and barret have 1c sales so its not uncommon for good to be sold that low.

€5 on adverts though, has to be the worst case of "adverts price" I've ever seen!

Ah I hit them all during the week but lisduggan had the best selection as far as I can see but is also stripped clean. Wouldn't mind but I was in tesco ardkeen 3 times wondering if I should buy the extra copies of stuff.... Did the same the last time with skyway sword. Lesson learned ha ha

Looks like tesco are dropping Nintendo altogether and making room for the one and ps4.

Was pokemon x And y in the offer? O-o

Holland and barrets one cent sales are a bit different, you buy the first item for full price and get the second one for 1 cent.

Glob damn it!
Was back in Tesco Clarehall again
This time I bought Bayonetta for the 360, I had it and completed it the first time around but figured this would be a good time to get it again, at a fiver.
And, against my better judgement, I bought Skylanders, the original one, for the 3DS, only a tenner and Cidonalad will love it, it's the same sort of thing as it's console cousins but entirely new levels and he can use his manifold original toys with it too.

One thing though,
They have shelves and shelves, up high, of Rockband instrument edition for the PS3 and Star wars themed 360's with no sign of a price, I never asked but I'd be fascinated is they are in the sale as well.
If anyone is out that way let me know!

So decided to hit the bargain bins in Tesco Ballybrack one last time, scored a copy of Kirby's Epic Yarn !!! Gets better, the sticker on it was handwritten 5 euro, so brought it up to test scan.... blip...... that can't be right.... blip..... holy fu....... seems the glitch that hit Ciderman hit me too, 1 cent..... I have never gone through a checkout so quick, up to the self scan.... blip.... "This item needs approval !" bugger I'm done for, up strolls a manager, flips his card at the screen and has a quick look and I quote says "Great feckin bargain ye got there" :):D:):D

Danonino.

I really really really wantvone of those star wars xboxs... No cash at the moment though and none in stock round these parts anyway

Anyone know if the regular consoles are on sale or is that wishful thinking?
