    Anyone know what shops are doing the best deals on the new GTA game? For Xbox 360 specifically.

    Only ones I know are Xtra Vision for 60 quid or about 55 off ebay. :o

    Amazon is the cheapest I've seen it at £35, approx €42 inc postage

    Any idea as to how i could get your postage rates?

    Don't you get free delivery to Ireland with Amazon (or get free UK delivery and use Parcel Motel for €3.50)?

    I'm a bit away from a parcel motel so it would be nearly worth it to pay another 3.50 on top of that to get it delivered to my door. But he said €42 including delivery


    Edit: Oh i see now, if you go through checkout it tells you at the end. Free postage takes 4-5 days

    Parcel motel is easy to use I joined last month it is great but to ensure you have it launch day I would be at Tesco at midnight, I went for black ops 2 and mw3 for black ops they even had nuke town map which was only for pre order, loads of copies in each store only ten of use there a d GameStop had a big queue, I think I paid 39.99, customer services is very helpful if you want to ring before hand

    And thats Amazon's exchange rate. If you pay in £'s you get the real exchange rate which is about €2 less :D

    Even though its almost certainly gonna be game of the year, 60 quid most places is still a bit steep isnt it?

    You could spend double that on a night out and all you get is a dodgy burger and a hangover!

    spoke to tesco they will be having midnight release but not in every store tesco express ect wont have them, the fella wouldn't comment on price, just so everyone is aware the game requires an 8gb installation so make sure you have enough room for it probably take about an hour to do, may as well grab a pizza and a few cans for the wait

    Thanks for that, might be a good plan to spend €20 on beer and pizza to get the discount seeing as most people won't be leaving the house for a few days after this comes out....

    Got it this morning in Tesco for the €49.99 thanks....


    I decided to get a case of beer and some ice cream to spend the €20 in store, I forgot the off licence doesn't open til 10:30 so had to pace the aisle for a half an hour like an alcoholic waiting for it to open. Had a stroke of luck on the ice cream when I decided to buy two tubs of Ben and Gerrys Baked Alaska which was marked as half price (€2.94 ish), when I got to the till they charged me full price so when I pointed out their mistake they gave me back 'double the difference' so had another (almost) €6 off the price.....
