Cool. How much is delivery? Will it be over the 22 euro customs limit?

They have a shipping calculator button on the side.

They mark down the price on the package, I ordered stuff off them that was well above the limit, they marked it as $10 and I'd no trouble.

Do you mean you're looking for or selling Need For Speed: Most Wanted and Assassins Creed 4: Black Flag? If you're selling I might be interested in both. Are they in good condition and could you post them?

Those were the two games left in the place when I left. Have them already myself but the ones in the shop were perfect condition. I even found an unused club card points thing in cod!

CHRISTMAS DOWNLOADS


Nintendo Download: 25th December (Europe)

Duck Hunting, Kuru Kuru Kururining and lots more festive fun
Christmas is nearly upon us. What better way to celebrate than vegetate on the sofa after all the festivities and play some Nintendo games with your loved ones? There are lots of new goodies for you to download on this week, not least a Wii Remote-enabled Duck Hunt on the Wii U Virtual Console. Let's see what Santa has in his bulging bag for us.

Wii U eShop
Spy Chameleon (EnjoyUp Games, €4.99 / £4.49) - Don't let the comic look fool you. Being a good RGB agent requires a lot of talent. Spy Chameleon is an arcade-puzzle game where the player must avoid being seen thanks to the chameleon's ability to change colours and camouflage. Through 5 missions and 75 levels, the player will discover different enemies and abilities to complete these super-secret missions: taking photos of a celebrity with her lover and stealing the secret formula of a successful soft drink are just two examples. Watch your enemies, choose the best path and run to the next safe point. The duration of each level can mean finishing a game in just minutes or spending hours trying to complete the missions and all the challenges, getting the best time among your friends or completing all the achievements. €3.99 / £3.59 / CHF5.60 EnjoyUp loyalty price for users who own 99 Seconds, Abyss, Darts Up, Rock Zombie or Unepic on the same Wii U.

Wii U Virtual Console
Duck Hunt (Nintendo, €4.99 / £3.49) — This is being listed as a VC release by Nintendo, demonstrating that it'll be the good old Duck Hunt familiar to NES gamers with the exception of Wii Remote pointer controls as opposed to using the NES Zapper. A bit of a cult classic, and the quirky appearance of Duck Hunt Duo in Super Smash Bros. makes its arrival rather timely. We'll get shootin' for a review.
Kuru Kuru Kururin (Nintendo, €6.99 / £6.29) - Steady your hands and steel your nerves for one of the most challenging puzzle-action games ever created. Kuru Kuru Kururin puts you in control of a rotating helicopter that must be carefully manoeuvred through increasingly tight and tricky labyrinthine levels. Avoid the walls and obstacles, or you’ll lose precious time and lives, as you try to reach the goal. It starts simple but soon you’ll be facing moving pistons, floating spikes and all manner of dangers. We'll let you know what we think in a review, soon.
Mega Man Zero (Capcom, €6.99 / £6.29) - Awakened after a century of sleep, in a strange war torn world, Zero becomes the hero in the first of his own series of adventures. Mega Man Zero sees the cybernetic warrior join forces with a resistance group battling a strangely familiar foe. This new spin-off series introduced new gameplay elements like mission-based levels, and weapons that level-up as you gain more experience; and also Cyber Elves: small but powerful creatures that grant a wide range of useful abilities. We were fans of this in our Mega Man Zero review.
Mario Party Advance (Nintendo, €6.99 / £6.29) - Mario and friends bring the party to Game Boy Advance with a dizzying range of activities for single players plus their pals. Mario Party Advance also introduces Professor E. Gadd's Gaddgets: wacky toys and tricks that bring the fun outside of the game. Bowser has crashed the party and scattered all the minigames around Shroom City. Collect them all by completing the single-player game boards. Once unlocked, minigames can be played as often as you like. Earn coins to unlock Gaddgets such as the Compatibility Meter which lets you see how strong your friendships really are! We'll get the party started to bring you a review.

3DS eShop
Brutus & Futée (Microids, €6.99 / £6.29) - Brutus & Futée is an adventure puzzle game in which the player takes on the role of the author of an animated series. Help Brutus and Futée find their way and overcome the obstacles they meet. Draw objects and paint or erase the setting to assist the two heroes. Their journey will take them through a variety of different environments and present them with a host of dangerous situations, from an ancient Inca temple full of mysteries and secrets, to the maze in a production studio governed by a rather jittery Boss. We'll head out on an adventure for our review.
PUZZLEBOX setup (Bplus, €2.99 / £2.69) - In PUZZLEBOX setup you hold the Nintendo 3DS system upside-down. Use the stylus to select a coloured tile on the Touch Screen which is then on the upper side. If you release the colour the tile falls down in the selected column. Let the matching tiles fall down into the glass bottle on the 3D Screen to copy a painting or to complete a setup. We'll spin right round baby, right round, for our review.
Best of Mahjong (GameOn, €1.99 / £1.49) - Relax your mind with the ancient game of tiles. "Best of Mahjong" features 404 layouts of the traditional tile-matching game in 3D, each with millions of different shuffles to play. The game's style and interface has been designed for easy and intuitive operation with the Nintendo 3DS stylus or +Control Pad. The graphics can be customised with various tile-sets and backgrounds. We'll try to handle all that Mahjong and let you know what we think.
Best of Solitaire (GameOn, €2.99 / £2.49) - "Best of Solitaire" features 101 variations of the most well-known and best-loved single-player card game including Klondike, Freecell, Spider, Pyramid, Yukon. Most games have custom gameplay options so you can enjoy the game with your favourite rules. On-screen instructions allow learning of new Solitaire variations. Statistics are available for players who love to track their wins. Save the game status any time for later. The game's style and interface has been designed for easy intuitive operation with the Nintendo 3DS stylus or the +Control Pad. We'll make sure our reviewer stops playing this for free on their PC before starting a review.

Just went into GS to see if they had Captain Toad.
At first he didn't know what I was talking about.
Then he didn't know if he had any stock of it.
Then told me it was €59.99.
Smyth's Toys it is so!

Mr E

60 quid. Jesus, those guys are living on another planet.

Probably but, as said elsewhere and subjected to abuse for it, if you are dumb enough to buy it there, at that price, when Smyth's is probably located within a stones throw and sells it for 20 euro less, you've only yourself to blame.

Spotted this and thought it summed up gamestop in Ireland.

Pokemon Omega Ruby, 55 quid

https://www.gamestop.ie/Nintendo%203DS/Games/46267/pokemon-omega-ruby

Pokemon Omega Ruby, 30 pounds for the ltd steelcase edition in the english equivalent website

https://www.gamestop.co.uk/Nintendo%203DS/Games/46177/pokemon-omega-ruby-steel-case

They must feel they can get away with it due to them being the only major games-focused retailer in Ireland.

Unfortunately the notion of a games only retailer in the Irish market is dead and give, and their vanishing profit margin is proof enough that things really aren't working out for them.
Too many places to find gaming goodness now, and while I still go into GS for a browse I seldom buy there.
If its Nintendo, online or CEX have gotten more ofy money in the last 3 years rather than GS.
New games are almost exclusively bought online now, by me at least.
That said, with Captain Toad at a cent shy of €40 I'm happy to give Smyth's my cash.
Oddly, back in the heady days of Gamesworld, Smyth's used to be anxious to match the low prices set in Gamesworld, for new stock as they didn't have preowned at the time.
The main Smyth's games shop at the time was just off Parnell St in Dublin and we'd get spies in store, writing down the price labels of our stock, no online catalogues back in 97!

Maybe the desk jockey recognised you from back in the day and was trying to throw you off the scent? Put on your standard issue Gamesworld fake beard and ask again!

I paid €44 in argos. Decent price for a decent game, happy to pay it.

I no longer know which thread I should post this in.
Christmas has me all confused!

I'd say you'll definitely get one in the Sales.
I'm looking for one for My Cousins Son too.

Black Premium for £189.96 in store - Toys 'R' Us (~€241) (Obviously only good if you know someone near or can get to a store yourself.) There are Three in N.I.


White
Skylanders Basic Pack, White/Nintendo Wii U Console - £163 (€207)

€189 in Argos with Special Offers Available - Which is the one I'm going to point them towards.

GhostInTheRuins

Is the only difference between the basic wii u and the premium the hard drive size? (8GB VS 32GB)
