    Earthbound is simply one of the best RPGs if not one of the best games ever made and outside of a reproduction Pal Snes cart or, like me, a reprogrammed Mother 2 cart, you can play it at home without needing to import a console to do it.

    Have you played it yet :P

    yo 3 euro ain't nothing! Would you rather a game on it's own, or a game with a dairy milk, hunky dory's and a coke to wash it all down? That's what I thought.

    But the games creators/devs get zero when you buy a used game. I've no problem buying used games, but not when the difference between used & new is that little.

    Lego The Hobbit is £24.95 on Amazon. Lowest I've seen it.

    Not much of a bargain but the Pro Controller has dropped to £29.95 on Amazon. However, with the Euro in a bit of a state, that's less of a saving than you'd think, it's still the guts of €40

    Edit : For those who don't check HUKD out, TheGameCollection has Lego Batman 2 for WiiU for £8.95 + £2 delivery, so €13.82 delivered at today's exchange rate. Ends in 9 hours or so.

    I just came to post that the wii u remote-plus controllers are on nippon-yasan for €27.10 + shipping (Princess Peach, Yoshi, Mario, and Luigi versions)


    Pro controllers are there also for €21.83.

    Change currency at top of the page and Shipping calculator will appear on the right hand side when you have something in your basket.

    Bunch of games for 3DS cheap in Argos
    Joining long-standing discountees PilotWings (€6.99) and Rhythm Thief (now on €4.99) are Resident Evil : Mercs, DOA : Dimensions (both 6.49), Steel Diver (4 quid even)

    Have only played 2 of them, but DOA dimensions is a great, frantic, pick up and play fighter if you can get past the digital boobage and jiggle physics. As for PilotWings... well looks like I'm not the only one who can't give it away, eh Argos? :D I should have taken €5 off Smyths when I had the chance...

    Are they actually legit? Did you ever ordered from them? How long does it take to deliver?

    Wow. Must grab Steel Diver and a spare Mercs. Cos i like unopened versions of games i like. For 7 quid.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,381 ✭✭✭✭Allyall

    Yes, they are legit, yep ordered from them.

    Shipping Calculator tells you the length of time it takes to deliver. I think mine was a day or two longer, but that may have been Ireland as much as anything.

    I have used them in the past, they are legit, but some orders have taken 2 weeks, others 3 weeks if you go the cheapest route.

    I am tempted to pick up Nintendo Land as it does not take much space. Thing that worries me, is that Nintendo already clamping down on this stuff and I am pretty sure it was their **** up, that those codes were not limited one per console.
    Clearly who ever got more then one of these codes redeemed on their accounts do not have 2 Mariokart copies. Nintendo might drop like an anvil on this.

    The page was purposely setup to mislead everybody, and no doubt the seller's reply would be something like

    "Ahhhh, c'mon, you didn't think you were getting a Wii U for £4.40 did you?"

    That's probably also the reason that there is a limited amount of them, people rush to buy, thinking they'll be sold out.
