'That's just the free market man, you don't like it, you can buy it somewhere else!'

Unfortunately it's quite the opposite. I was in there yesterday and there were countless mindless drones paying their exorbitant prices. Everything I look at I'm like I can buy that from such and such for less than half the price. The only thing their prices were reasonable on was the consoles and that's probably set by the manufacturers. But their games? Good luck. I'll raise a glass in cheer the day they die.

I felt like standing at the entrance and shouting:

Bought moon it is at night 12 hours opposing your 3ds clock settings, seems to be a differing variation of Pokemon to catch depending on time of day.

RobbingBandit

Back on Sun now Moon can wait until I have a haunter and Kadabra to trade.

It's not a bargain but... I've only really kicked off in the new Pokemon, but I have an abra and a ghastly. Swap you them for a NES mini? Ah go on!

is that just the game or does it come with instruments?

Banjo

Comes with Guitar, Guitar is the only instrument. Unless you want a 2nd guitar
Note - does not use the old Guitar Hero guitar, it's a new button layout and connection interface.
Also, on that note, if you want 2 guitars you can use the PS3 and WiiU guitars interchangeably, but the PS4 and XBOne are different from both this guitar and eachother. So always worth comparing the cost of PS3 and WiiU games for 2nd guitar....

Pac1Man

What instrument does it use?

Banjo

I'm going to pretend you're not taking the piss out of how many times I said Guitar

It uses the GH Live guitar, 2 rows of 3 buttons.
The guitar itself is universal for all platform releases of GH Live.

The Wii U uses the bluetooth dongle with the grey button to communicate with that guitar. The Grey dongle ships with either the PS3 or WiiU version. The dongle for PS4 has a blue sync button, the XB1 has a black button, there may be an XB 360 one too that's different.

Must import the sequels for the GC.
I have the original PAL release but there's two more to be had, the direct sequel got a US release and the second sequel was Japan only.

Missed the €38 Pokemon Sun, if anyone sees it in their local Argos could ye pick it up for me?
I had it reserved but it was too tight on time for me to get it.
Unless it's online somewhere as cheap?

I didn't want to do this but you've forced my hand.

Disney Infinity figures are on 3 for 2 in Smyths, plus most figures are now only €2 each. However, you need to know which figures are right for your version of infinity. Are we sitting comfortably? Then I'll begi... wait! Let go of me! MY PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW!
