    Is the Grafton Street shop closing? That's what it looks like from the sign at the back of the 2nd picture....

    "Everything Must Go" - any other deals? :)

    Looks like they're relocating http://blog.hmv.ie/2015/uncategorized/press-release-01042015-hmv-grafton-street-to-relocate-premises/637/

    Will pop down shortly and see if there's anything else decent on offer.

    didn't see much else in terms of nintendo stuff.

    I did get a decent 3DS XL case for €3 though

    €240 for the limited edition console with a downloadable copy of windwaker & Mario and Sonic Winter games 2014.

    Not too bad!

    Yep, had a wander around the store and the Wii U seems to be by far the best deal. No real reductions on any Nintendo games.

    I know it's not Ninty but someone on the board was looking for one of these, but I can't remember which thread
    32GB Class 10 Micro SD for €20 in Argos
    In stock everywhere.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    LoZ Link Between Worlds for around €26 on Amazon (£18.70 - which is sub-supersaver. The Rich Hall Live Collection DVD/CD set for £8 will push you over the limit though, even if that is £3 more than it sometimes goes for... Or Bayonetta 2 for £22 isn't bad if you have some sort of grudge against Argos or really don't want to own the 1st one under any circumstances)

    Splatoon is €36.96 delivered from Amazon Spain, which seems to be cheaper than many other places.

    Splatoon Bundle with Calamaro Inkling Amiibo is €49.99 on Amazon Italy (Wasn't sure if anyone was looking for that, seeing as they seem to have disappeared online.) - €55.41 Delivered, so not really a "bargain".

    I just popped into HMV Grafton Street to check out the clearance sale. I managed to get a new copy of LEGO City Undercover for the Wii U for only €19.98.

    I think that is pretty good consider how hard it is to find and it is generally a lot more expensive than that.

    That's a good price alright, had they any other Wii U games on offer?

    They had three games I can remember:
    Mass Effect 3, Darksiders 2 and some sports compilation game.

    That's a great price, did they have any more? I'll probably be able to make it in, in a day or two.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    I've seen it at that price in HMV Dundrum around a month ago so don't limit yourself to the Clearance sale in Grafton St.

    Not sure if this is still live, but HUKD flagged a deal on Zavvi.com for Disney Infinity - 2 for €20 (or €20.20 if you use Paypal). That's nothing amazing, until you realise that the Infinity 2.0 starter packs (ie the Game, 3 Avengers and the associated game/stark tower thing) for all formats - including our beloved Wii U - are in the deal. As is the Playstation 4 ltd edition starter pack that has an extra Avenger statue, if you're that way inclined. It's a clear misprice, and they may have shut it down by now but sure since when have we ever let a little thing like that stop us?

    euch, you made me open that site. expired.

    Just had a look on Zavvi anyway.
    The starter pack says €41 - Save €42 for Wii U...
    €41 is the same price for it everywhere.
    I used to think Zavvi were decent prices, but I guess it was just the odd deal (usually with a code) popping up. Looking across all of their stuff today, God dang they're expensive :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    yeah they fixed it. They were €40 each (the Playstation collectors edition with Hulk, Cap and Hawkeye in it was even more!) but 2 for €20 still applied. Needless to say, my orders were cancelled :D

    BTW, Sweetie - was the "euch" for Zavvi or HUKD? :D

    Zavvi! - Have had a horrible time with them over a refund.

    I heart HUKD!
