Drogheda have two, apparently, of DS for a tenner.
Amazing value that.

Have it on Xbox but still wanted to give it a try on Switch for a tenner, has to be worth it.

Unfortunately there seems to be only around 4 copies showing in stock for the whole country now and none down here :(:(:(

Way to far for me.

Why does this happen (it only seems to happen with nintendo games) does anyone know?
I have never seen any games on sale in a store, and when I read about them here, there is usually only about 6 of them and it's not on sale anywhere else, or the sale is very limited. But if it was Xbox or Playstation they seem to have stock everywhere for the sale price.
Does it mean the game will no longer be available, i.e. they won't publish more when it sells out?

No it will be in print but Smyths won't stock it and if it is still on the site it won't be in stock anywhere

Twice I've thought I'd nabbed a Smyths super discount and both times its been OOS when I went to the counter. Seems they often pepper the shelves with more photocopied covers than they need. Would have taken a punt on The World Ends with You but not even on the website anymore so hardly worth a trip to Smyths for a dig

TitianGerm

Are the Smyth's deals usually in Ken Blacks as well?

sweetie

Anyone want the last copy Dark souls in galway?

RobbingBandit

No dark souls, civilization or captain toad in tallaght I did get the last world ends with you so ducking happy.

baldshin

Got the last Dark Souls in Limerick Childers Road, was marked out of stock on the website though, so worth checking in store. They also had Dragonball Fighter Z for €15.

Wolverine359

Got The World Ends with You for a tenner in Galway, happy out.

Ugh, id love to avail of one of those offers but the selection given, its hard to even make up the 5 games.. If i didnt already have Smash bros, the €150 option would be doable

The €100 version would be easy if one loved the lego games, i do not :pac:

chrislad

Got World Ends With You and Dragon Ball for 25 in Childers Road. Happy out, normally miss these.

Was able to get TWEWY in Carrickmines, was probably only still there as the display box still showed that it was €30.

rahern

Arms is 10 euro in Smyths

TitianGerm

Just got Bastion from the SA store for €3.31. Bargain

RobbingBandit

Nothing in Blanch Smyths just to save anyone a trip

Kimbot

Only Switch game in Carrickmines earlier on clearance was TWEWY, I would have grabbed DS myself too if it was there.

I'll be in a few more over the weekend so hopefully there's a sneaky copy left somewhere

I bought Shovel Knight, Steamworld Heist, Valkyria Chronicles & Dead Cells in the last week alone.
Also have Days Gone & Sekiro to play so I can't justify buying another game right now regardless of the price.

Bought a silly amount of indie games myself the last week and it stops now........oops, just bought Thumper for €3.60

sligeach

Anyone who got a bargain in Smyths shouldn't be allowed post and brag about their wares. There are some of us who have nothing. NOTHING!!!
