That's still an inflated price though isn't it?

Fekin Nintendo. You really have to jump on their games when they're released to get a fair price.

Yeah it is. Standard pricing would be €50-60, £60 translates to around €80 at the current rate which is absurd and probably just down to a supply shortage or something. It is true that Nintendo games don't devalue quickly but that generally just means they hover around €40-50 for a good while after release.

OOS there currently but available for €26.99 in argos which is much the same price wise

Such a beautiful game, aside from the 3D effect it's really a straight sequel to Kirby's Adventure on the Wii, coming to the Eshop soon.
Well worth owning both

Amazon - Wonderful 101 out of stock but down to £29.99

HUKD are reporting Argos dropping the price of Mario Party Island Tour on 3DS, and the irish site usually follows suit (but not always same day).

Wii U - 8GB Basic Pack (White) £99 from Tesco Direct.

Can you use Parcel Motel with Tesco? Doesn't affect me but that's the best price in a long time if not ever.

I edited slightly using Nightline's own postcode at same location. By the time I got to the payment section it was out of stock :mad:

It was too good to last. It was up and gone in half an hour.

picked up kirby and mario golf in argos earlier and got a €5 voucher for spending over €50........even better value to be had if you're buying two of the discounted 3DS games

Banjo

Oh Captain my Captain! Cap'n Toad is £24.85 on Amazon. And in stock. And shipping from Amazon themselves rather than some tiny shop in Chester. Too good to be true?

Also, you can get a pair of Size 9 Caterpillar Colorado boots for under £50.

Buy it, buy it now. It's a great game. I paid €40 in Smyths before Christmas, was well worth it.

johnpatrick81

So tempted.......although with exchange rates and PM charge it comes to €37 so not really that huge a bargain. I think this might be the exception to the rule of Nintendo prices and due to it being a short game may in fact get cheaper.....gonna hold out for now!

Banjo

Why are you using PM for an Amazon Prime delivery? Add ANYTHING to the order to push it over £25 for free delivery
ANYTHING!

http://www.fillerchecker.co.uk/

15p for Printer Toner . Done!

You might want to extend that out to cover the value of a Parcel Motel delivery. Get value for money.
£2.99 for Black Cobra 3 - The Manilla Connection on DVD. How bad can it be?

You don't even need to :pac: I chose free delivery, it changes slightly to a handy total of £25.47, probably due to VAT difference. Thanks Banjo!

*plays the closing theme from The Incredible Hulk TV show as Black Cobra 3 slowly walks away, looking over his shoulder occasionally but knowing deep down that no one is coming to take him away from the warehouse*

No there's free super saver delivery to Ireland for orders over £25 that are sold or fulfilled by Amazon

Thanks! been waiting for a cheapish mariokart to come up.

Prime is a paid service but you can still get free delivery as a non-Prime member on orders over £25 with Super Saver Delivery. Prime has the advantages of being faster and not having a minimum order but I don't know they offer the service in Ireland.

Banjo

Yeah sorry, wasnt very clear. The Prime tag (for a non-subscriber) means its definitely fulfilled by amazon so super saver is an option. As such, since delivery is usually pretty significant you're as well off getting something else to tip you over the 25 quid mark

And yes I am aware that "fulfilled by amazon" items are not necessarily prime items but still fulfill the criteria.
