Sligeach u sellout!! I feel I should probably buy an amiibo now, I mean if sligeach did.....yoshi one is really cool....don't have that game yet either.....

I feel bad, dirty and disgusted. I don't know what came over me. I seen the prices of like Zero Suit Samus for €3.30 and thought sure why not. Didn't work out that cheap when the other amiibo were added and higher than postage charges came through. I regretted it the next day. Might sell them on yet. And I only really wanted the Yarn Yoshi but it had already sold out.

Edit: Just checked the site now and it's back in stock. Grrr!

Amazon keep dropping some of the Amiibo prices. I ordered some last week for about £30 and then they dropped to about £28.50. So I cancelled and reordered. Now it's less then a fiver each delivered (when combined). Mostly it's Animal Crossing Amiibo. Some are less then £3.

But note: Prices go up and down all the time.

Yes, but you have to spend £25 to get free delivery

Fingers crossed but I'm not getting my hopes up.

A Wii U high capacity gamepad battery would be top of my list.

I agree!! They are way too expensive. I mostly just play on the gamepad. Always charging.

I reordered the amiibo from Amazon. Saved another €2 from Friday. So if they drop tomorrow I will do it again.

I don't see anything now or planned for sale on Wii U today as part of the Prime sale. Or for 3DS. Unless something springs out of nowhere.

You are right, there seems to be nothing. Even the other deals are not that attractive. Better value over here.

Is it just me or is everyone talking about Pokemon Go.

Just like no one would expect...
A bit like The Spanish Inquisition....

Bought Codename Steam for €9.98 in GameStop of all places yesterday!

Was cautious of reviews but for that price you can't really go wrong.

New or used?

Wii U High Capacity Battery is €19.95 on Amazon Spain. But they won't deliver to Ireland - or use Parcel Motel / Addresspal.

Any ideas or how to get it to Ireland?

It ships to the UK mainland so An post Addresspal should work

Hi, I tried using my Parcel Motel address and it wouldn't accept it. Maybe because that's Northern Ireland?

Mirage sessions Fortissimo up on cool shop there now, only £77.95! In case anyone missed it and wants to pay loads for it

Costs €29 with Addresspal and postage included. Don't think it's a great deal. I've eventually got to check-out but don't think I'll buy it. I just can't do it. I still think nearly every week about the £5 deal around Christmas on HUKD and how I missed it by less than half an hour.

We all have one of those. I had a chance to buy a signed 1st of Cuckoo's Calling by Ribert Galbraith (aka JK Rowling) for €25.
Had it in my basket, preordered it and cancelled the order a month later. Cue my disappointment when it was revealed that the Harry Potter writer was the real author and prices rocketed up to €4-5000 overnight.
Could have enabled me to keep all my retro games and buy a famicom AV and a whole other bunch of crap.
I'll rue the day I tried to be sensible with my book buying till the day I die.
Damn you JK Rowling!

Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System

http://www.zavvi.com/games/nintendo-classic-mini-nintendo-entertainment-system/11318086.html

Just over €51 if you use Happy15 Code on preorder.

It can be cancelled as well, in case it shows up cheaper before November. But handy to have there. They also don't take money until it's dispatched. So all good.

Looks like an interesting system. Just for fun. Might be a hot Christmas toy

My son literally told me about this an hour ago and wanted it for Xmas !
Great stuff thanks

Damn was hoping Faxanadu was on the list of games, love that crazy game.

People are talking about how Contra should be included instead of Super C. But for me, I'd have preferred to see Ms Pac-man instead of the original Pac-man. It's a far better game.

Will more games be added or are they just rolling with the 30 they have

Stuck with the original (great) 30. Read this.

The Happy15 Code only worked yesterday. Might not work today. But sign up to their email. They do a Happy hour every so often and it works then. I also got one pound back through Quidco

Also, for your first order they give you 10% off with Welcome or Welcome10 - or they used to.
