I just remembered Watch Dogs for the Wii U was €75 in Gamestop. :eek:

Its not worth the low price Argos are shiftng it for, never mind full price.
If Argos drop it below 30 I'll buy it, if only because I sold on my PS4 copy.
It feels like a murky GTA clone tbh

Cheers. Not sure the game is my cup of tea but if it's still there next time I'm there I'll do that.

If you do pick it up and don't fancy it I'll definitely take it off your hands for price paid + postage.

Disney Infinity Starter Pack (Nordic Language on Packaging) is £12.95 on TheGameCollection (€17.95) + Shipping

Pokemon Y is currently £18.70 on Amazon

Even accounting for the currently atrocious exchange rate that's a pretty good price

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00B7JT5H2/ref=s9_simh_gw_p63_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1ZRT6V6EXXG6KHSXVH7M&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=455344027&pf_rd_i=468294

X is still full price but Yveltal is much better than Xerneas anyway!

I think they're price-matching tesco-direct, saw it there yesterday while looking for OOT for the same price.

If they run out and you have parcel motel, it's an alternative.

Added Pokemon to my basket there and realized the GBP is now worth 1.47 Euro.

Worrying stuff. How high will it go? These bargains are looking less and less each week.

Not sure if it's every HMV but the one in the Crescent Limerick have alot of decent 3DS games for 20 euro. NSMB2, Pokemon Y, Mario Party, MK7 among others.

I was in 2 stores in Dublin yesterday and those games were all 35/37 so it might be store specific

I think we need to hire a James Bond villain type, to collapse the UK economy by blowing up the Bovril factory or something, plunging the country into an economic disaster and making imports from Amazon and Game cheap once again!

Being last on the rota for quantative easing sucks especially just as in getting hooked on buying stuff from ebay.co.uk . Time to start buying stuff from mainland eu methinks ! I hope I can learn french while playing bravely default.

Wii U Pro Controller for $10 for the next 15 hours or so.

Eachmall are a Chinese wholesaler type deal, it could take a month to arrive, could be a knock off, etc.
I've bought from them twice at least, no issues yet.

They take paypal, and if you use any of the other payment methods your credit card company might call you asking if you meant to buy something from China.

So's ya know, Outrun 3D is live and awesome!

Hm, I just tried my link in incognito, it asks to log in, so you might need an account.
It's from the page here
http://www.eachmall.com/scare-buying.html
but I don't see it now in incognito.

Maybe they ran out, but on my profile it still shows they've got 15 left. Strange.

Allyall

They're sold out now, but these have them. Seem as legit as the dotcom version.

But they seem to be limiting me to one. Not sure whether or not to use them anyway...

I went in for a look and you're just scratching the surface. They were good deals, but there were even better deals to be had with some digging.

There is a large container near the cash registers with a few hundred unboxed games (360, PS3, Wii, WiiU, a couple of PSP UMDs and some Vita carts) - all between €4 and €10. In the main games section, there is a FULL CABINET (about 7 shelves) filled with boxed titles that were priced from €4 to €20 (all last gen, + Wii U games)

All the games I got were €4 (3DS games were unboxed).

€32 well spent!

For the record, Cooking Mama 4 is for my niece and WWE All Stars is for my nephew

Nice!
I was in Artane HMV/Xtravision this evening. Nothing like that, that I saw.

Dang,,I didn't see darksiders or Mass Effect. I only picked up Call of Duty.

Nothing left there really when I got there. They had Mario Tennis on the 3DS for a tenner which wasn't bad, not great though.

On a related note, is there anywhere to buy eShop prepaid vouchers via paypal? I can only seem to find US ones, not EU.

It's sterling Cards, priced in Euro. £15 should be €21.07 according to todays exchange rate :pac:

I think it's because Nintendo seem to think Ireland is in the UK.

Star Lord

Need to be careful with changing currency, as changing to sterling you will lose any remaining euro balance, and likewise should you change back.

But with the eshop vouchers *online* - as an Irish person, it's very hard to avoid that...
Most sites that sell them, that I have visited, seem to regionalise me as UK GBP.

Not a massive bargain but Gamestop in Blanch had a couple of copies of Pikimin 3 for €39.99, cheaper than what I saw on Amazon lately, and not exactly the easiest game to get these days.

That cd keys site actually sold game codes too, so it worked out cheaper to buy it that way, as I wanted to pick up Smash Bros. 45 on the eShop, 42 on that site, so all worked out!
