    I paid full price for Etrian Odyssey IV so that's a very good price for the game.

    You go to their site.
    Do a search for the game.
    Even if it states Out of Stock scroll down and couch Open Map.
    This will open a map of the country with little icons for each store.
    Red ones mean they haven't got it, Green make they've plenty and Orange/Yellow means they've limited stock.
    You'll also see a phone number for the shop so you can call and reserve it, save you travelling only for it to be fine.

    I can't find "open map" :o

    I feel as though I'd miss my hand if it was in front of my face..

    EDIT..

    :o:o:o:o:o

    I have never bought from Gamestop online. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
    I couldn't figure it out at all.
    Then clicked into the product, not the search result......

    Jesus. I'm having a slow week.
    Loads of 3 for 2 wii titles in Gamestop Swords BTW. I forgot to mention it. I was in a real hurry, so I wasn't able to check them all.

    No, you're not supposed to let them know that secret. :eek:

    Here's the link to the map page for Hot Wheels: Worlds Best Driver on 3DS.
    It is available in three stores.
    Just ring them and ask them to hold it for you.
    I don't think you can order online if the icon is greyed out.
    Essentially the can only sell stuff online that they hold in the warehouse and these games are only on stock in three stores.

    This seems like a good deal from Argos

    Nintendo Wii U Console and Zelda Windwalker Game for €265. Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games can be included for free too.

    I'm tempted to sell mine, with nintendoland and Zelda Windwaker...
    To buy this.

    If I wipe my Wii U, and reconnect on this, will all my Downloads come in? I presume all of my purchases are in my account.

    Dont think so. Maybe there's a transfer like with 3ds?

    No, if you wipe your Wii U you will lose all your downloads.

    You can do a system transfer (like 3DS).

    I do like the look of the Zelda gamepad.

    It is a limited edition Zelda console, so maybe that's why.

    Yep... That's it.. :)
    I would like it.. But I'll not bother.
    I thought I'd log in, and all of my downloads would be there.
    Anyway, It's a bit of hassle, also, I'd have to try and sell mine... Seems to be a lot of them on Adverts.

    You can tansfer from one Wii U to another. It is a nightmare to do. If you thought transferring from the Wii to the Wii U was bad try doing this transfer.

    I really wish they'd move to an account system with cloud storage. Hardware locked content is archaic at this stage :(

    This is whats stopped me from buying any games digitally with Nintendo. Have 600 or so bought for my playstation, at least 50 for my very rarely played xbox, and to date, only one digital title for my Nintendo systems.

    If they brought in a cloud account system, they'd make a fortune off me in a matter of months


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,529 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Hopefully this partnership with DeNA is the first step towards a unified account system.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,499 ✭✭✭Nollog


    I'm going to be pedantic and say they have an account system, it's just partially locked to their hardware, rather than being fully server-side.
