Nintendo games/consoles bargain alert thread

Danonino.

Or just sell privately. I get your point but your ignoring the fact that there is plenty of stuff in the shops that are well priced, 3D world is one end of the scale, Tingle's rosy rupeeland on DS for €7 is the other. There's always gonna be online, or a sale or adverts.

Games new I only understand if keeping sealed or dlc codes etc. If complete with manuals and minty fresh then I couldn't care.

Take the Logitech wheel I mentioned. A two year warranty from a shop with free delivery I'll take that over an eBay purchase to save maybe €30/40 (quick search of average completed with delivery) any day. Why Cex has blown up is the way you can mak that €30/40 quid up by trading in a phone you don't use, a copy of xenoblade and a bunch of family guy boxsets.

It's an option, not the best way to sell or buy things for the most profit, just one way to do it.

I do agree that thier pricing has taken a bit of a bad turn and has gotten spotty the last year, certain stuff is way off.

CEX have copped on a lot more to whats valuable online these days. Stuff like Twilight Princess Gamecube used to be around €39-45 for a good while and a few used to come in and out of stock the odd time. Now it's €75.

Have only ever bought a few things in there but traded in lots.

What I dislike about the credit from CEX is you have to hold on to the receipt they give you, if you're not using it right away. They can't put it on your card.

Yeah what I've heard is they trialed it in the UK but people were getting their cards stolen and the like. Could be nonsense and hearsay but I guess it makes sense.

Take a photograph of the voucher, they don't actually need the physical paper to process it.

Xenoblade Chronicles X for Wii U is £24.85 at Shopto. Postage is £3. Comes to about just under €33.

It's also about £28 on Amazon UK and that qualifies for free postage through Prime.

The £ to € exchange may spell certain doom for Irish exports to the UK, but it means good times for importing videogames from there, while we still have jobs to pay for it all!

Not sure if this has been mentioned previously but saw this in Smyths Carrickmines yesterday. A quick Google says the game isn't great but some of the Amiibo fans around here might still be interested. The Wii-U version was €25 I think.

I'm selling some wii games, but I could find a price for Star Wars the clone wars republic heroes, around how much would it go for, or is it so rare I should keep it

MilesMorales1

If you go to cex they'll send off a price request for it and give you a price. Otherwise Gamestop/Smyths is a crap shoot.

The combat was terrible I remeber that, I liked the platforming they had though and the characters were cool. But there was some terrible sections and the puzzles were just pull a random lever

Ol' Donie

I don't collect these, so i don't know if this is really any good, but i know some of yis collect them.

Gamestop, Tallaght today.

Edit: Can't attach picture. Bunch of Amiibos for €7.47 each.

Symths had that kirby game on the Wii U for 25 quid pre owned.

Rorok

HMV in Dundrum is closing and they've got a lot of sales there, got 2 styluses for 70c, there were a ton of offical 2ds cases there aswell, the only other thing I noticed was some cover pad for the wii fit. Probably is more if you go searching. (If you get the stuff from the 70c boxes you have to say it btw)

I enjoyed it. It was oddly satisfying stringing a few rainbows together.

I generally don't understand the appeal of conventional Kirby games. There is almost zero challenge which not a good sign for any platformer.

TrustedApple

Sent a very good bargain well I think it is.

Ds I pokemon white eg the Ltd console with the game.

45 euros in gamestop Patrick St cork.

Can someone scout out a cheap copy of Pikmin 3 please?
I can't find it anywhere!
There's a single copy in GS Tallaght for €34.99
Might have to just dig deep and pay it.

CastorTroy

Thought it was released as a Select but looks like that's just the States. find-game.co.uk tells me the cheapest is £29.99

Mario Maker reduced to £23.11 (approx. €27) on Amazon's deals of the day today. Need to add something small to get the free delivery though.

a lot of nintendo made games keep their value so unless you find it second hand i doubt you'll find it that much cheaper

Myrddin

I bit the bullet & picked it up in CeX last year Cidey, it's increasingly unlikely that it'll show up cheaper at this stage, short of a Players Choice re-release.

magnumbud

its a great game, i bought it launch day. one of the many gems on the wiiu

Pretty sure when I got it from CeX it was 30 quid, if say that's the best price you're going to find for it unfortunately, but maybe sligeach will prove us wrong xD

I looked earlier and couldn't find anything under £30 online.

Gamestop says there's a couple of new copies scattered around the country for €20.

Nope, they are all preowned copies

I'm surprised at just how hard to find it is, even in WiiU titles for sale on Adverts.
I have an alert there so perhaps it'll pop up nearby.

sligeach

All Gamestop games technically are secondhand. None of their games are sealed unless you buy Collectors Editions. That's what I've always experienced with them.

Virtue's last reward couldn't have gone on sale at a better time, I'm currently in the process of finishing 999 and I've enjoyed it so much. I can't wait to move onto the rest of the series!

MilesMorales1

Might get those megaman games for 12 quid.
