    This Chibi-Robo deal is clearly a typo.

    Our deals in Europe start on Friday and end on Monday. And our deals are supposedly only available for a day before the next starts. America is getting as much as 50% discount while we get at most 40%.

    What deals are we getting? Your list and Druss's link were for the US.

    That's another bad thing, we don't know. They're I think going to reveal the European deals on the day that they're on offer.

    Probably but its in the console category and its description is enticing.
    We know its probably an error but there is a tiny chance it's not, and that's what's fun!

    I see the Splatoon Amiibo edition is coming up on Amazon's lightning deals today at 12.

    What would constitute a good bargain price on this (taking the poor €/£ rate into account)?

    Less than €35 would be a decent price. Less than €25 would be a steal.

    Not honouring it. They have changed the wording.

    Only dropped to £29.99 which is around €42. Definitely not a bargain in the end.

    A few good prices on Amazon France apparently. I haven't been able to check much, only seen the 2DS Mariokart bundle with case for €87 and Super Mario Bros U..

    But as they're all on time limit, thought it'd be best to post in case something amazing! is there. :D

    Super Mario Bros. U and Luigi U - €18.80

    2DS and Mario Kart 7 - €87.90

    82.80 when I look.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,381 ✭✭✭✭Allyall


    82.82 when I look.

    Really? :confused:

    - It is now.. €82.80. That's weird. And expensive!
    Did anyone else see it at €18.80 or am I going nuts?

    will the games from france work for wii u here and be in english

    The outer sleeve details will be in french but the game is multi-lingual and most games now have the manuals on disk rather than paperwork and are also multi-lingual


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,381 ✭✭✭✭Allyall


    I found the site I saw it on earlier and I've already got it mixed up twice in my head with another site named for the same rodent..:o

    Thank God the deal is now dead, I could picture myself giving the incorrect site name to my Nephew and his friends.. :D:eek:

    EShop Cyber Deal until 23:59 on 27/11

    Wii U
    Super Mario 3D World (35,99€)
    The Wonderful 101 (€29,99)

    3DS
    Super Mario 3D Land (26,99€)
    Puzzle & Dragons Z/ Super Mario Edition (17,99€)

    Hmm. Not great. But I'll probably get 101 for that. Presume we're getting the US deals, but at a lower percentage, and with a shorter time to bite.

    €25 cheaper delivered with an extra game - http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B0187KJKMI/

    EDIT - Sorry, I didn't see the pro controller.. Works out roughly the same..
    The UK one works out at €345 and don't deliver to Ireland.

    Gamecube Controller adapter - £9.99 (~ €14.50) - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00O9QW4JQ

    It's really hard to find a good Wii U deal originating in the UK because the euro is very weak against the pound atm.

    There is a €20 cheaper SKU next to your original link if you don't care about Just Dance: http://www.amazon.fr/dp/B016BCBTLY/ref=twister_B012IOJRWC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

    What is the Amazon charge for Wii U delivery to Ireland from France?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 664 ✭✭✭Tomo.Murphy


    Are there any New 3DS XLs under €200? (or the smaller New 3DS cheaper than €185 in argos?)

    Thought it was good until I got to check-out. €25 posted. Yikes! Pass.

    If I order over £20 will it make a difference?

    Should do. Order is fulfilled by Amazon so once you get over the £25 mark, it should be free shipping


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


    £25 for free postage
