Aye I asked in there myself They said 'lol we don't stick that. its the worst console of all time lol'

So reading this i now know pc world staff know as much about consoles as they do about pcs and laptops ***** ALL APPARENTLY*

What an ignorant statement by that staff member shocking really

Look, shouldn't we be thankful that they know feck all? The correct response to a floor rep saying the above is "Yeah, tell me about it! Look, if you have any around taking up space I can help you dispose of them - I won't even charge you for it! Can you make the receipt out to Adverts.ie? YEah I know, wierd name - My parents were hippies..."

Shameless HUKD Steal : Phoenix Wright Dual Destinies price drop on thursday

What time of the morning are the prices changed?
Dying to play this game but am waiting for the price cut

Banjo · 19-02-2014 6:53pm

I'm going to pull a number out of my arse and say 11am tomorrow, based on them updating it 12pm german time. However, I'd start looking from 11pm tonight given that new release games go live at midnight german time on day of release.

Went into PC World Liffey Valley today looking for WiiU, asked a man behind the counter did they stock it? he said no, the woman beside him insisted they did have 1 in clearance for 199 (not 149). So he checked his system and found none and checked the other stores systems and found none. I then asked could he check in the back and got told if it wasn't listed they wouldn't have it. He then suggested I go to Argos or Gamestop.

cloud493 · 19-02-2014 10:25pm

Does Navan definitely have it in stock? It's only €8 up there....

Did anyone try Airside on Wednesday Morning? After the girl had said there was 100% at least one in stock?

cloud493 · 21-02-2014 8:41pm

I did. I was in there for 9.50am. And the guy checked, said they did. Then he came back and said someone reserved it, someones mum came in and picked it up :mad:

It's mad how Nintendo titles hold their value so well.

cloud493 · 22-02-2014 10:20am

Might just bite the bullet and go to GameStop. Get some points on the loyalty card.

2nd hand? Gamesexchange do some with 12 months warranties if you don't want to tip your toes into the chaos that is adverts.ie

cloud493 · 22-02-2014 12:32pm

cloud493 · 22-02-2014 12:59pm

Or... £32 in newry is 38 euros....

Allyall · 22-02-2014 1:16pm

Watch Dogs is available preorder for €38.39 on WowHD - Seems a good price.

It's €47.99 in every other Country I checked on the same site, and £37.99GBP in the UK.

Xenji · 22-02-2014 3:37pm

I really wish that Nintendo would get rid of the region locking, you could easily get Wind Waker for €35 and 3DS games for between €20-€30 from VGP with delivery included in the price.

Hellrazer · 22-02-2014 7:56pm

Don't know whether this has been mentioned.

Liffey Valley HMV has some cheap Wii U games.

Picked up Assassins Creed 3 today for 14.99
They also have Tekken for the Wii U for 14.99
Batman is 19.99
Nintendoland is 29.99

Assissins Creed is really really good.

Gonna get the first two of those tomorrow. Thanks. I was looking on their site earlier. It's terrible.

Mario 3D world and Donkey Kong are £29.99 each + £2 delivery each to Ireland here http://www.thegamecollection.net/super-mario-3d-world-wii-u.html

Works out at just under €40 each.
DK was €49.99 in gamestop today and Mario was €54.99 so a bit of a saving to be had.

Just bought mario 3D world, Assassins Creed 3 and Batman Armoured edition. I never got to Liffey Valley.

€53 altogether.

Weirdly those two offers didn't appear on dealspwn or cheapfindergames

Banjo · 25-02-2014 10:50am

I wouldn't play Assassin's Creed and Batman sequentially. They have a lot in common and one of them is bound to suffer by comparison. Their combat systems are very similar, as are the movement systems, with Batman's fighting (in my opinion of course) feeling more fluid but AC blazing a more dynamic (if less immersive) trail across the rooftops. But both are well worth a go. Play something in between - Mario 3D World is a great palate cleanser!

Edit : If you can't lay your hands on the €209 PC World Wii U ZombiU bundle, you can get it on Amazon for £209.99

I was thinking that. I should've gone for Deus Ex.. Ah well, they're winging their way to me now

. I'll probably be playing Mario and AC mostly anyway. I only really went for Batman as well because of the price and it seemed to have good reviews.
