    Can someone give a summary of places opening at midnight along with prices? Don't have a preorder.

    Tesco €54.99 or €49.99 when you spend €20 in store.

    Like others have said for GS - you will need to go to the store at 9/10pm to get the game fully paid off/receipt redeemed and then go back join the queue and get your game at midnight

    What do you do if you're doing the trade 2 games in thing?

    There will be hundreds of copies everywhere except the usual rip-off merchants like Gamestop, Gamesnash, Xtravision/HMV. Smyths, Tescos, Harvey Normans and pretty much every single shop that sells digital media will have it. All this drivel about needing pre-orders and waiting in queues and then waiting in another queue at midnight is just manufactured hype to create more sales.

    Not this horseshit again.

    he has a point though if the price quoted above of €55 in tesco is true.Gamestop charged me €65 for the standard edition,and that was over the counter so no delivery charges involved

    You still need to get your receipt stamped, otherwise you'll have to queue twice after midnight.

  • Registered Users Posts: 690 ✭✭✭Lemsiper


    Are any of the Tesco stores in north Dublin doing a midnight launch?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,346 ✭✭✭Lamposts


    All Tescos that are 24HRS will be doing a GTA IV midnight launch according to their facebook.

    Clarehall will be open anyways, same goes for any 24 hour ones. They probably won't be doing any fancy release thing though, they'll probably just stick them out on the shelves.

    I'm hitting my local tesco at 11 to see if they stick them out on the shelves before closing at midnight, I think it happened with FIFA last year and COD.

    I'd like to think that's the decent thing for them to do, I can't see them dropping the price down a couple of hours before release if they didn't intend to give refund. Hell if they don't, there might be madness in the stores when people come in and see the new price they are not getting.

    Tesco Ireland Facebook page said all the 24 hour Dublin stores which I believe are Clarehall, Blanch and Dundrum.

    That's a shítty thing to do alright. Amazon say that if the prices drops from the time you preorder it to release, you'll be refunded the difference.

    If anything you'd expect the price to go up!

    Amazon don't refund it, they merely charge you the lowest price that the item has hit since you preordered it. You can ofter order something for 40 euro and end up paying 20 while it's release day on site price is 50. Really is a great service and one that keeps customers coming back.

    That's NOT a drop, see my earlier post!

    It's always been €60 online as long as I can recall, at least 2/3 weeks

    €65 in store

    Order from Amazon on Thursday, still not dispatched yet. Annoying. Used Parcel Motel but thinking I may cancel it and grab a copy elsewhere.
