Nintendo games/consoles bargain alert thread

I think its the exact same deal they did on Black Friday too.

Just a heads up on the 20% off, it's only some games that apply. Thought I could get Mario Kart for €48 or so but was told it's not part of the deal. Off to Argos so.

Mr E

Shocker. I was going to wander in for a look, but don't think I'll bother now.

It's on the website?

Between getting it or the pro controller either.

Elder Scrolls or Doom are tempting too at €48 probably can be got cheaper down the line though, Mario+Rabbids is pretty good value at €36.

Or splurge €80 on set of Joycons with snipperclips.

Can really only afford to get one thing at the minute. Decisions, Decisions!

I hadn't seen that on the website, I just looked at the home page mentioning the discount. Before bringing the game up to the counter I had asked was the 20% deal on and told yes, then when she scanned the game at the til she said that game didn't apply. I already had MK8 reserved in Argos so I was happy to give them my money instead.

Never change Gamestop, never change.

I was considering picking up PuyoPuyo but I think it'd be better as a download, can play it anywhere then.

GameStop carlow had MK8 marked as 20% off. Was tempted to get another joycon but thought the better of it. Not really needed.

Mr E

I saw Fire Emblem SE in Carlow for €40 with a 20% sticker on it. I was tempted, but Hyrule Warriors never clicked with me a few years ago so I decided against it.

There hasn't been a bargain here in a few days but for anyone looking for a cheap 128gb San Disk Ultra card...... This is 29.99 GBP or 33 Euro and add in your preferred parcel motel, parcel wizard, etc and you have a nice cheap upgrade that should last you long enough for the 200gb cards to be cheaper

Any chance Amazon will do a three for two again? I need to get a copy of Mario Kart.

You get it as cheap by switching stores if you don't mind a digital copy.

Ivefoundgod

The discounts gamestop had Christmas Eve on accessories were actually pretty good in retrospect. €72 for the joycons was good in comparison to argos €85 and amazon £70. Was humming and hawing over it and left it but think I probably should have got one now. Do they go on offer often does anyone know?

Got it for 45 euros on the South African eshop. It’s probably a good candidate for digital as it is the kind of game you probably will keep playing for a while and will want to have a with you all the time.

And I really wonder why it is that much cheaper there.

Loads to take into account.

Cost of living in South Africa the wages are a lot less then say Ireland.

Tax rates.

How week the money in South Africa is campere to the euro loads of things.

Like people don't realise games have not went up in years in Ireland. They have been 50 euros new since I was 10 years old and that's over 15 years ago at this stage. So really video games have got a lot cheaper. Digital stores and stairs the rise of online shopping you name it.

I still remember my mum paid 60 euros for wwe smackdown in 2002 for me !!!!. Now before xmess you could pick up 2k18 for about 30 euros!!!.

Sure it's been mentioned before, but LA Noire is 30 quid in Smyths, as opposed to 60 elsewhere.

Thing is not all games are that much cheaper in SA so it can’t be just tax otherwise the price differential would always be the same.

Also prices in all eurozone countries are the same even though some countries (say Slovakia) also have wages well below Ireland, so I don’t think Nintendo EMEA adjusts prices for local wages as a policy.

Go to your user profile on the Nintendo website and change your country to South Africa.

Sorry lads, looking for the best price on a physical copy of Mario Oddessy?

I don't think our saviour, the SA Rand can help me here.

I think Argos is your best bet, amazon, shopto or the game collection if you don’t mind waiting for it.

I was just in a different GameStop and it was 60, I wouldn't have thought there was so much variance between them.
