They refused an Apple TV 2 from me before. Which worked out excellent for me.
At the time the ATV3 was (possibly still is) not 'jailbreakable', and I sold my ATV2 for €150 .

A perfectly working apple tv? Nah sorry.

49 copies of Watch Dogs U? Sure!

Nothing against the company itself apart from its mediocre customer support and hostile and irritated sales assistants, but I miss the days of Gamesworld when customers weren't looked upon as an annoyance. But we'll never have those days back, I guess, because the guys that ran that company with a genuine passion were replaced by a ridiculous regime where assistants can be as rude as they like to people without fear of punishment.

Sorry about that. Rant over

I worked there, back in the day.
I'd have every other day off in my regular career and worked in Gamesworld then because I loved games and helping people.
I was there from around 95 to 00.
I loved it.
I was the tall fella with red hair and glasses.
I was normally based in the Abbey St shop, at the back of Chapters.

Believe it or not Gamesworld was modelled on CEX, which was a highly thought of indie gameshop at the time, or so the Gamesworld founders told me.

I remember you! And the brothers also (whose names I won't mention here out of respect, but they were fantastic people). I'd love to see another independent store open in Dublin, one that'd be willing to listen to some advice now and then, that is...

They had a branch in Clonmel before gamestop bought them out, was far better before.

Not sure if its a bargain or not, coz I've seen them go for over 100 euro for some reason, but CEX have 2 copies of LEGO Indiana Jones for the Wii in D'Olier St.

I've played it before. Great game, but never got passed the first level for some reason...

They used to be used to exploit the 4.3 firmware, & for a long time, was the only way to do it hence the high price. A newer exploit was found eventually, killing the high resale price of those games

What happened to the games inside? Are they promotional boxes? Is the story closing down?

Nintendo 2DS to have it's prices SLASHED!!!

I tried to do that as dramatic as I could without pictures.

I saw these, and realised they are mostly for American readers (I hate searching Google "Country:Ireland" - Zero Irish results.)

http://www.cinemablend.com/games/You-Can-Pick-Up-Nintendo-2DS-Cheaper-Than-Ever-80107.html

I used Yandex and got an Italian hit (At least it's European)
http://www.spaziogames.it/notizie_videogiochi/console_nintendo_3ds/221146/nintendo-2ds-taglio-di-prezzo-negli-stati-uniti.aspx

But they also refer to the U.S. market.

I can't imagine that this won't come here..

It has to.

Prices SLASHED!! (an alternative attempt at dramatising it. (Again without pics)).

Is the star catalogue finished in Europe? Someone said it was still going until the end of the month but I've had trouble logging into it.

No it's not finished yet. Only yesterday they readded Luigi's Mansion 2 diorama and a Zelda carry case.

Club Nintendo ends at the end of September. There's still a few items to go up like the commemorative Club Nintendo coin. Logging onto the site can be finicky at the best of times. Just refesh the page or give it 20 minutes. It sometimes struggles with heavy traffic.

Wright

Oh my god that diorama.

I really hope they replace the Star Catalogue with something better that offers stuff of recent quality, instead of just shutting it down.

Hopefully it'll mean a completely unified account system with a rewards catalogue and proper cloud services across all two (soon to be three) systems.

My son has that Zelda bag as a pencil case, it feels very cheap
