That's mad. I use them all the time and never had a problem.

Oh meant to say I bought ducktales remastered last night on eshop for 50 % off. Think I paid 7euro. I think that's a bargain. I was gonna buy it on launch but had too many other things to play at the time so didn't bother. Glad I didn't now.

Think it's till April 17th

I picked up Resi Revelations on Wii U in gamestop for 20 new yesterday.

Banjo

Luigi edition 3DS XL for £140 on Amazon


Looks like a good price based on CamelCamelCamel. Think the XL has been cheaper, and for the White one with Mariokart/land - this has no game. But it is covered in Luigis, so it's 6 of one, half a dozen the other

Also, Senran Kagura Burst on Base.com for £20 + delivery

Gamestop is apparently selling Wii U premiums preowned for €200. Add in the 20% discount you get if your a gamestop loyalty card owner, thats €160.

Thats a great deal must say if you can get it, but it also makes me wonder how many WiiU's are in peoples home's under their telly and how many of the 6 million or so sold that are sitting in Gamestops or Games or Best Buys etc around the world not being used.

Banjo

not a great bargain but the WiiU Pro Controller is £29.99 on amazon
Edit : Damnitt, someone beat me to it on HUKD.

Anyway, these have been MUCH cheaper in Curry's (€20-22ish) but that was a year ago, haven't seen a good price on them since. Still haven't. But if you really want one you can save about £4 on one at the moment.

Banjo

Senran has dropped to £17.99 on Amazon
And while you're there, The Amazing Spiderman on WiiU is £14.89 from a Fulfilled by Amazon gang. It was about a quid lower last week but it's still a decent price. I loved Spidey 2 on the Wii, and if it's gotten rid of the awful control scheme from Spidey 3 on the Wii I'd be delighted to own it. So buy 2 copies and send one to me. Cheers!

Edit : Looking at HUKD, the SKB price is a price-match with Game, if you prefer to deal with them.

Hmmm.... Pocket Football has dropped off the Ninty store, must be for the introductory offer they were talking about.

I think my wallet needs me to unsubscribe from this thread.
Nah feck it! Be graaaaand.

Wind Waker has just dropped to £29.86 here on Amazon

Tesco are doing a clearance sale of video games at the moment. Think it may be just this holiday weekend?

I saw two 3DS games on the shelves: Pilot Wings Resort and that Tom Clancy strategy game, both €10. (Pretty sure Argos can do you Pilot Wings for a euro or two cheaper right now.) No Wii U titles. But plenty of interesting Wii and DS deals.

Picked up TLOZ: Spirit Tracks for €3. Dragon Quest VI for the same. Prof Layton & Pandora's Box for €5, the Golden Sun DS game for €10. Noticed Rhythm Heaven, Brain Training, Pokemon Rumble.

Wii titles on the shelves included Red Steel 2 for a fiver, Animal Crossing Wii for the same. I picked up Monster Hunter Tri for a fiver, even though I'm pretty sure I read that Nintendo put the kibosh on Tri's online functionality, because, well, it was a fiver, andIobviouslyhaveaproblem. The Lego Harry Potter games were there, and Rabbids Go Home, and um, let me think. Wii Sports Resort was there! The pack with the Wii Plus add-on. Wii Music. They were both a tenner, I think.

(I'm not going to mention that I nabbed what seemed to be the only copy of Metroid Prime Collection for €5, because that would just be insensitive.)

Plenty of PS3 and Xbox stuff there, too, of course.

Corholio

Manged to pick up 2 copies of Metroid Trilogy in Tesco Paul St. Cork, some amateur had tried to hide them behind the chick flick dvd's - schoolboy error:pac:

They also had Super Mario 3D Land on 3DS for £10, which seems a good deal.

Banjo

Damnitt. All my local had on Friday was Walk with Me DS and some ps3 / Xbox stuff. Didn't think this was worth a mention. Congrats on the Metroids!

sligeach

Got 3 copies of Metroid Prime Trilogy myself and 4 of The Last Sory as well as a rake of other stuff. Had to try a few stores. One store had the 3 MPT's. Don't think I'll sell them and if I do I wouldn't rip people off. Ebay yesterday had a couple of Irish members selling MPT for €85 and €95. That's disgraceful. Checked this morning and they've been removed.

I never thought to look at the DS stuff. Silly me.

OwaynOTT

Yeah the DS stuff is knocked down but not priced. I got two dragon quest games and two Pokemon one for 16 quid.

mconnn

Hi,

If anybody has a spare copy of metroid prime trilogy to sell I would be glad to pay extra just not crazy price.
Skipped the wii at the time but just got the wiiu and building up my wii collection.
I know it is an ask but would be grateful.

Thanks

Give me one of those Metroid Prime and I will name my first two kids after you, for cost price of course.

Not too much. My brother got any in fir me as I've a broken foot and now he won't give me the games

RobbingBandit

Best I got myself was Ocarina of Time for a fiver and Skyward Sword for 1c on Friday.

How'd you get one for a cent?

RobbingBandit

I am a robbing bandit, :cool:

cloud493

Wasn't a great trip, I got

Gormiti for €3
Tekken prime for €5
Golden sun for €10
Lego battle for €5
Skylanders 3DS starter pack thing for €10.

The rest was all PS3/360 shovel ware.

thehappyworm

In case it helps anyone looking for goodies in the current Tesco clearance sale, most of the games I mentioned above were in Tesco Clearwater, and there were plenty of them.

(Wii Sports Resort and Wii Music, however, I saw in Tesco Phibsboro. Punch Out Wii may also be found on this shop's one lonely stand of clearance titles.)

megaten

Only went in the evening time while I was doing other shopping but I got the last window for 3 euro which was a pleasant surprise.

Myrddin

If anyone spots a LoZ Spirit Tracks, I'd appreciate it if they might pick it up for me?

cloud493

Is pilot wings worth a tenner?
I went to artane to have a look, mostly PS3/360 stuff but I got dragon quest VI for €3.

Corholio

Are Pokemon Pearl and Diamond popular games then? My knowledge of Pokemon isnt great.

Would they be worth picking up cheap?

Turtwig

I loved Diamond. My avatar is the starter from Diamond. As a single player experience they're worth it but if you want to experience pokemon that everyone is playing then I guess X and Y is your port of call. D/P is quite a few years old now.

If Diamond is your first foray into pokemon though it'll be a damn good one. (Assuming you like turn based RPGs)

cloud493

I love diamond and pearl even more than platinum

Banjo

Think they're turning off DS online support whichbwill mean no trading, battling or GTS for diamond / pearl. Awesome games though, still my fave gen I think.

To the group at large - If you're ever in Loughlinstown during the week or Liffey valley at the weekend (These are locations I can meet to buy stuff off you, not locations of Tescos with tonnes of stock) and fancy picking up a spare Pokemon Diamond, loz Spirit Tracks or Metroid Trilogy I'd be delighted to make your acquaintance!

Mind if I ask, did you get Ocarina of Time in Tesco? Just to save me searching for it there if you didn't!

Mr E

Not a massive selection in Carlow, but picked up Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands on the Wii for a fiver.

Yes I did, they seem to all be gone now though, as is anything else half decent.

wilser

Tesco dundrum still have 4 Mario kart Wii with the wheel for €10

There's one copy of Pokemon Diamond in Tesco Nutgrove for a fiver. Also a few Donkey Kong Jungle Beat Wii for 10 euro.

Other decent enough games that I spotted there were Pilotwings 3DS, Super Monkey Ball 3DS, Pro Evo 2012 (Wii), Red Steel 2, Wii Music - all €10 each.

DL Saint

Nothing bar wii and 3ds shovelware for the tenner in tesco Ballybrack

CastorTroy

Some decent prices on preowned in Xtravision, at least in Letterkenny. Saw a couple DS Layton games and Mad World as part of 3 for €10. There were other games but those ones stood out.
It's also where I got Darksiders II for €10.

OwaynOTT

actually while I'm here - some €10 WiiU games in Parkway Xtravision ZombieU 10 euro and Mass effect 3 also only 10. some others knocked down as well

Allyall

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is €18.59 delivered from Zavvi
and the
Black Skull edition is £24.99STG (~€30) + €3.50 Parcel Motel from Grainger Games

So roughly €34 delivered for the Black Skull Edition.. I'm struggling with this one.. I don't know whether or not to go for it. AAggh.

Ol' Donie

Still have a couple of Other M in tesco Tallaght for a tenner.

Hellrazer

Mass Effect 3 and Fifa 13.

Just picked up both in HMV Liffey valley for a tenner each.

They have loads left at a 10 euros.

Building up a nice little Wii U games collection from this thread!!!
