Xtra Vision massive game sale tomorrow

TerrorFirmer · 04-04-2006 10:18PM #1

Friend works in vision, gave me a huge list of games they are slashing prices on. Prices tend to be better for xbox owners but huge bargins for both sides.

Its starting tomorrow and there are some seriously good prices. Just in case anyone lives near an xtra vision store...

The sales are usually for a couple weeks at least or while stocks last.

I'll see if I can find out the memo and see if there's an end date tomorrow for ye.

Yes, but those prices are untouched as are psp prices.

I definately saw the following Xbox games on the list or 9.99 or in some cases less:

Mech Assault 2
Men of Valor
Spartan Total Warrior
Delta Force Black Hawk Down
Brothers in Arms
Rainbow Six Lockdown

There were loads (literally hundreds) other games, can't remember them all....and alot of newer games like Star Wars Battlefront II, True Crime New York City, etc, for 19.99.

muppetkiller · 05-04-2006 11:31AM

Has anyone paid them a visit to see what they have ?

aaf · 05-04-2006 11:36AM

Any PC games bargains?

Flinty · 05-04-2006 11:37AM

Havok, is this just the xtra vision your mate workd in, or all xtra visions?

Mr E · 05-04-2006 11:42AM

Confirmed.... Went to Xtravision in the Parkway in Limerick, and they have lots of games with new yellow stickers. They were just stacking the shelves, so I didn't hang around. I'll go back this evening for a better look.

Do they sell PC games?

muppetkiller · 05-04-2006 01:22PM

yip but are very limited...mainly cheap budget titles although they did have Quake 4 collectors edition for 24.95 (before the sale might be cheaper now)

hushm0nk3y · 05-04-2006 01:30PM

The sale is only on "selected" games so that probably means the usual sh1t3 that you can pick up in a bargain bin in another store

the corpo · 05-04-2006 01:49PM

any nintendo stuff in it?

Slunk · 05-04-2006 01:58PM

might take a look later even though i am broke

rgiller · 05-04-2006 03:32PM

Had a look in Washington Street in Cork but they were either all gone or not there at all in the first place...

No, this time its a genuine great sale. I was in three Visions in Galway today - two had either no stock whatsoever or not priced them yet, but one of them had loads, and loads of beautiful games for 7.99/9.99...:D

Scruff · 05-04-2006 04:21PM

completely out of touch with the xbox scene, havent bought an xbox game in ages. what would be a good game to buy if i see it in the sale?

Royale with Cheese · 05-04-2006 04:25PM

Ah sh*te, I really want to go home now. I was only there last week. Why Xtra Vision, WHY?????

muppetkiller · 05-04-2006 05:40PM

My god I just picked up Black and The Godfather for 9.99 each on the XBOX in Eglington street in Galway !!!!

They also had battlefield 2 , Global storm , Predator , FAble etc all 9.99 each !!!
I Think i got the last of black and godfather but try the other xtravisons as the guy in the store said they have more...
he didn't understand why they were going that cheap either

I'm going up again to get more hehe

norbert64 · 05-04-2006 07:29PM

was in one of the stores myself & picked up a double pack for €9.99
->NFS:Underground - Xbox
-->Burnout 3 Takedown - Xbox

Also Prince of Persia 2:Warrior Within - Xbox for €9.99
I was also gonna get Prince of Persia 3: The 2 Thrones for €9.99 but one of the staff messed up, lol, as there wasn't actually a copy in stock, even tho the computer said different.

I called up a few stores to see if they had any copies in stock, but I've had no luck so far. However 1 store said it's still €20, another €30, another one told me PS2 version = €30, XBOX version = €10 which seems a bit silly really. They should really get things straightened out, lol. :cool:

It's prolly not that big of a sale really, with the advent of the Xbox360, they're prolly just selling off the Xbox stuff, asap to make a bit of moola.

Repli · 05-04-2006 07:39PM

I think HMV are having a sale too - most of the games mentioned for €14.99 - how they can charge €83 for oblivion on the 360 I dunno tho..

muppetkiller · 06-04-2006 08:44AM

I went into town yesterday evening after my first round of goodies and in Galway the Xtravision accross from the Omniplex didn't have any bargins although they may have them up today..

Actually they were selling Quake 4 special edition PC in Xtravision headford rd for 19.99 ...which isn't bad

iwhelan · 06-04-2006 12:57PM

Great bargains - just got Black, Godfather, From Russia With Love and Jade Empire for 9.99 each in Extravision Stillorgan. They didn't have any sale prices on teh boxes but it was in the system when they checked!

Battlefront II is 19.99 in the sale and the first one is 9.99. The first one is still a superb game though.

I got Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Battlefield 2 for 9.99 each today. :cool:

muppetkiller, Xtra Vision on Eglinton street have a great bunch of games, and that place is NEVER busy, so they should be enough stock to last awhile....Oranmore also have a fair few titles to go.

muppetkiller · 06-04-2006 02:48PM

Anyone see Fifa 06 or Tiger woods for PS2 ?

Strangely enough I paid €79 for Oblivion in HMV for the limited edition with the map, book and coin. The regular version was €83.

muppetkiller · 06-04-2006 03:41PM

I thought I was on to a winner when I saw your post saying you got it for 9.99!! I rang a tonne of them and they all said 60 lid on ps2 and xbox!! I decided aswell that while down the country tonight it might be worth my while popping into the one in Galway to get it but said they always had it at 59.99!!

Scruff · 06-04-2006 03:54PM

went to xtravision in clondalkin, fairly ****e selection. only game i recognised as being any good fas Fable and i have to bring that back cause even though there are no scratches on the disc its unplayable on my xbox. dvd drive is going mad trying to read from it, causing the game to stutter every few seconds.
Dindnt see any sign of games like Black or the Godfather for 9.99. Think black was there for 39.99

any good car racing games on sale?

TerrorFirmer · 06-04-2006 04:37PM

In eglinton street in Galway I did see for 9.99:

Battlefield
Predator
Warrior Within
Fable
Revenge of the Sith
Project Snowblind
The Punisher
Need for Speed Underground 2
From Russia with Love
Brothers in Arms

And many, many more - I didn't see Black/Godfather for 9.99 BUT they were all sold out, and the guy behind the counter confirmed to me the Godfather had been selling on xbox for 9.99.

They also had tonnes of games for 7.99, including Ghost Recon 2.

edit: I'm happy with Revenge of the Sith but BF2 is an awful load of crap. I can't believe someone told me it's better then the PC version?? Maybe its just me and my high expectations...anyone wants to trade for a brand new copy of BF2 on Xbox let me know

muppetkiller · 06-04-2006 04:51PM

I can confirm Godfather was selling for 9.99 cas I got the last one haha ..to be honest it's exactly the same as Mafia and GTA ...I'll pass it on to someone in a week if i get around to finishing it..

memememe!

I'm so disapponted with Battlefield...thought it would be alot better to be honest!

okidoki987 · 06-04-2006 07:02PM

Looks like it's hit and miss.
Xtravision Stillorgan had Fable for 9.99
Xtravision in Sandyford Fable was 19.99

Godfather was 59.99 in both

Timans · 06-04-2006 08:05PM

I heard advance wars for DS was 25€

Not too shabby. Also, might buy BF2 for xbox cheap considering my pc is so god damn awful!

Don't suppose they have any cheap pc's down there?

muppetkiller · 06-04-2006 09:24PM

i WENT IN tonight and they said the Black,Battlefield and Godfather games were a mistake lol

Well I picked up Battlefield 2 earlier today and I hate it - its gotten good reviews across the board but I find it shabby and totally inferior to the PC version.

So here you go lads, anyone who wants to trade anything for a brand spanking new copy of BF2 on xbox, played for only 40 minutes?

whatsupdoc? · 07-04-2006 08:43AM

I'd say somebody got their **** kicked for that error.
Just a pity I didn't get in there first. :rolleyes:
