    Donkey Kong Country Returns on 3DS is €16 in argos.


    Damn out of stock in Galway... Shovel Knight out of stock too. Everything is out of stock in Galway, beginning to wonder if they have any 3DS games at all:mad:

    Argos made changes to how their site checks stock.
    The unofficial but incredibly handy Argos stock checking page exploited it but had to change themselves as a result.
    Instead of reporting on all the Argos shops it only reports on a defined number, still useful but not as useful :(

    Just picked up my copy of Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D in Argos here in Ashbourne and, after a quick clearance check on the system here, they have a single copy of Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze for the WiiU at the bargain price of €19.99!
    Tough game though!

    I hope they've got a copy left in swords for me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 235 ✭✭CliCliW


    Picked up country Returns for the cheap price, but I couldn't see Tropical Freeze on their system in store at all! I'm heartbroken! 

    No sign of the Squid in store either :(

    That appeared on all othe Argos UK stores and Argos Ebay UK for £19.99 a few weeks ago, I looked for it everywhere here, no luck. I guess it would have been better to phone them..
    Just tried a few.. Nope.

    Where was that? I can't imagine many copies being left especially in and around Dublin.

    The telephone in Argos Omni Centre is broken. They can hear the caller, but it sounds like they're talking through a kazoo.
    I tried to ask a couple of times, but couldn't understand what she was saying.

    I laughed a little (very little - like a hiccup almost) - and said "I'm sorry, but I can't understand, the phone line is damaged."

    She hung up.

    Worth it.. :D:D

    What's the catalogue number for tropical freeze lads


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,020 ✭✭✭✭sligeach

    There is none. You have to search the computer in the store of each branch under its name. It's listed under the clearance/reduction section. They're the last few copies of items and have been delisted from the online site.

    I couldn't find it under clearance, I had to put the catalogue number into the in store system, and reserve it like that.


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


    I tried the catalogue number a few weeks ago after it was posted here - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/donkey-kong-tropical-freeze-wii-u-21-99-also-ebay-store-instore-argos-2370438

    and I couldn't find it anywhere - Now since this was posted - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/donkey-kong-tropical-freeze-14-99-instore-argos-2384159

    I guess there's even less chance :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33,733 ✭✭✭✭Myrddin


    Well if anyone manages to nab an extra DK Tropical Freeze for the Wii U, and/or the 3DS...I'd love copies of either (and would obviously reimburse!)
