Would have to, as ps1 and 2 use the same connector.

Yeah, works on PS2. There's a mod idea for it here ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDG1ApTByxg

I've ordered PS2 to xbox connectors as well and maybe even get some PS2 to Dreamcast ones as well down the road.

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!

Star Wars promo boxes for Star Wars Kinect, not actually consoles. The store has been largely picked clean.

Well, that's my dreams of a cheap PS4 in CEX scattered to the four winds
And it's not all gone, if you walk past the place where they have the lunch deals, bottles of coke and tucked away behind the roof support is another stand of clearance games.
Just don't tell anyone or post it on the Internet.... Oh bugger...

Yeah I had a walk around the whole store, it's slim pickings now. I popped into Clearwater on the way home, they've a better selction but a ton of shovelware too. Picked up one or two bits between the two stores

What about the Rockband instruments? Or were they just boxes too?

Not 100% on those actually. Clearwater had a fair few of the 'DJ' sets, not prices on them though

The DJ sets are €30. That's the turntable and 1+2 for ps3. Think the one game sets are cheaper.

Hygro

Got these in a local flea-type market this afternoon, 6.50 for the two

Think I only saw Wii so I could be off on the 20 lol.

safetyboy

I was gonna buy that N64 bag earlier

CiDeRmAn

I'm going to nip in and get a price on the Rockband set there. Could be interesting.
Imagine if it was a cent!
I'm still not sure what to do with Nintendogs.
Might shift them on in CEX, I think it works out at 22 credit for the two of them, not bad for a 2c investment!

Or give them away to sons kid you would love them.

I was in Coonagh Cross Tesco, seeing if they had any 3DS consoles and they said they didn't have any right now but would be getting them back in.
Looks like there will be another Tesco rush soon.
Also the wii games were all tagged like how xtravision use to tag them with red tags, I wonder if they just got their stock? Xtravision doesn't have much Wii stick anymore.

CiDeRmAn

Whats the deal with 3DS, were they on sale too?

Someone said they picked one up for a tenner afaik!

The last few bits from Tesco, ME3 is going for €10 in HMV Liffey Valley too. Thanks again to Atavan for Yakuza 4

CiDeRmAn

Damn, I saw FFXIII and it's sequel, as well as Soul Calibur 4 and 5 for a fiver each over the fortnight and passed on them
Still, I wonder if the HMV/Xtravision shops have ME3 for the tenner as well?

So is ME3 €10 in all HMV's?

Never got into the ME franchise, is it worth a go?

I've only been in the Liffey Valley one, so not sure about that. Like yourself, I've yet to get into the franchise, but for €10 I don't think you can go far wrong anyway

Atavan-Halen

It's a tenner in HMV dundrum too so I'd say it is in all stores.

Thanks to my lovely sister in law, she gave me a mint GBA SP ags001 model . Got 3 Gameboy color games also, Dragons Lair which is total garbage iirc. Simpsons tree house of horror night of the living, looks crapola also. And finally Disneys the Emperors New Groove, I don't hold much hope for it either.

Hygro

This arrived today from the US ... Feckin R2 button doesn't work though!

Ebay pickups.

Destrega is a massively nostalgic get for me. Remember endlessly playing the demo that came with the Official PS magazine, back in simpler times, when demos came on CDs and you'd none of this downloading stuff!

Just got the silent hill collection on xbox 360 for..... 1 cent.

Got Golden Sun-Dark dawn for the DS too. Keeping that though, big fan of those games.

Got some others listed in the marketplace to trade for Castlevania LOS if anyone managed to get one!

Retr0gamer

Not much from me, I got Again for the DS.

I can get a few ps3 one, none are sealed at my local thought.

DinoRex

Picked up a few bits in Tesco this evening, nothing super cheap €20 all in.

I know reviews were all over the place but Vanquish was one of my top games of 2010, sure it's short but made for scoring, actually kinda reminds me on p.n.03 now that I think of it, loved that one too, must dig it out and give it a go again.

Cheers sir, looking for Xbox 360 only though please.

Saw a few copies of Vanquish LE in Tesco last night. How they haven't been snapped up yet is just unfathomable. It should be a crime not to own that game!

DinoRex

Ghost Recon for the 3DS is also going cheap. Another really good unappreciated title.

Plenty of copies of that left in Dundrum.

Nothing else of interest there really... I reckon it has all been pilfered by Avatan already. :-)

James Howlett

I popped into Tesco over the weekend and in among the shovelware I manged to pull out 1 good title:
Disney's A Christmas Carol for €3 on DS... a winner is me?

DinoRex

Enslaved is going for just €5 too. I really liked that game.

I would have picked that up only it was the PS3 version and I'm too lazy to take mine back out of storage.

my copy of last story came today, Naydy is the best xD.

Wasnt Vanquish meant to be a spiritual successor to P.N.03?
Got it for €5 on PSN at the start of the year, havent gotten round to it yet myself.

There is the re-released version on PSN (maybe XBL too) https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-ie/games/enslaved-odyssey-to-the-west-premium-edition/cid=EP0700-NPEB01854_00-ENSLAVEDDIGITAL1 at the time I got it on sale for €10. Really like it! Must play it again.

Is Tesco on Parnel St and Jervis doing all these games deals too? Or is it flushed out there now?

Oh well, I have way to much to get through anyway lol

Playing Singularity at the moment, I like it, but damn it has a lot of pockets of HARD from the start.

Finally managed to get a Sega Trio! I've been trying for months but every time I go to the website they're sold out.

I got the M2UK - (So a UK one for the Megadrive 2/Mega CD 2/32X)

Came to a little over €30 posted. Not the cheapest thing in the world, but worth it to finally once and for all get rid of the horror that is three Sega PSUs for one unit.

Here's the order page if anyone fancies one, looks like they haven't sold out yet.

Make sure you order the right one (they have different types for different sega system combos)

http://retrogamecave.com/#/shop/4577155950/

/Edit - looks like the one I bought is sold out already. :eek: just got in on time.

Xtravision near me still has them for a tenner - Mass Effect that is, woudl you like for me to pick up a copy?

Yeah they were, as mozie said someone got one for a tenner and they also were showing up online for 30. Wouldn't have minded one as I'm wrecking my Zelda one form playing it. The coating on the dpad came off!
