    Does this mean if I go into Smyths and buy a Game Cube they will give a €60 in voucher which I can buy a game with :D or is it €60 divided into several vouchers that make up the €60 and can only be spent on one item at a time? :(

    Standard college id is fine. Some cashiers bl33t that you need usit but just complain a bit and they'll relent.
