    I cant seem to find that offer, I see the ad for it but when I click on it it just brings me back to the same place

    Edit: Never mind, I figured out how to get it however cant order it as all the Dublin branches have the PS4 out of Stock as well as Fifa and Last of Us :(

    Apparently the last of us is out of stock everywhere though.

    This must be a sign that I should not get a PS4. Maybe I will get an X Box One......or a lobotomy!

    if you do eventually cross over, lemme know, can give you a few million for free most likely. Sell my garage and do the betting thing.

    Tried this earlier and got the same crap in every Dublin store "2/4 items available" :mad: Maybe they might release a 3 game bundle including GTA next time? I'll be keeping an eye on the Argos site regularly from now on. This deal is even better than the last one (PS4 + GTA & Far Cry €410).

    Good point. Don't change over to ps4 without taking our ps3 characters money Max.
    Who needs cash cards when ya have buddies like us :pac:

    I've had this site http://www.checkargos.com/ open in multiple tabs in by browser, one checking for each of the items in the PS4 bundle. Since the offer started there isn't one store in the whole country that have had the items in stock, not even for order/pick up except for Minecraft, presumably because it's worth the least amount and they have a surplus quantity that they want rid of.

    If it's of any help, the only real change in stock seems to happen at night, albeit very little. Ultimately it seems it's a ploy to get you shopping in Argos, you'll try for this bundle but settle for the next most expensive one when the cheap option is inevitably not available.

    Hey guys, just seen this on Argos, great deal!

    TBH, any of those deals that are actually in stock will be snapped up by staff. I got the last copy of Far Cry in Limerick out of their 3 stores and was told they won't be getting it back in til after Christmas.

    What annoys me is that they advertise this offer even though they dont have it in stock.
    They do have the white PS4 but I dont want a white one, I want a black one!! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,508 ✭✭✭marcbrophy


    You could try asking if anyone has a reservation code in the BA thread linked below.

    It's a bit of a cluster fcuk, but you might get lucky :)

    Ah Max, I'm tempted to make a joke... but I wont :D



    How about popping into argos and checking if you can buy a bundle and collect the out of stock parts of the bundle when they come into stock.

    Considering how most of their bundles are rarely in stock, no harm in asking the manager.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,247 ✭✭✭Max Mafioso


    I knew there was a joke in there somewhere and worded it that way :D

    Yeah I tried that, they said they cant do that because its a limited time offer and the stock might not be back in on time.
    Basically there way of saying, we arent getting any stock in until after its over so we dont lose money on selling the games!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,904 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Someone on the Playstation Bargains said that someone on the Bargain Thread said the below:
    A chap on the bargains forum got the ps4, gta and far cry and they gave him a receipt to pick up TLOU when it comes in stock.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,247 ✭✭✭Max Mafioso


    Cant order it online for pickup, the GTA and PS4 Bundle is sold out and if I try to do it individually it comes up as €554.96

    Thanks that's a bit too steep for me but thank you anyway!

    That latest Argos deal has me sold, so where is the cheapest place to buy GTA these days?

    Also, where would be the best place to sell the 4 games that come with that offer? I would be only interested in Drive Club, but I will probably sell it and buy The Crew instead.

    Hopefully places like Gamestop/Xtra Vision don't rip people off when selling unopened new games....

    Do they have any stores in Dublin? I googled them but only see a store in England.

    EDIT: Yes they have a store in the shopping centre I'm buying the PS4 in. :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,247 ✭✭✭Max Mafioso


    Yes they do, trust me, they offer bad price so they make money off the resell.
    You would be better off finding out what they are selling the game for 2nd hand and sell it yourself a little lower than that.

    Driveclub is actually a great racer, all the launch problems are now fixed. I would not swap it for The Crew. If you do decide to trade it there is a ps4 game swap thread on the playstation forum here on boards. That would be my first port of call before trading to a store.

    CEX have a few stores in Dublin if you go down that route www.ie.webuy.com is their website.

    Cheapest I can see is €63 in Argos :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,247 ✭✭✭Max Mafioso


    Gamestop had it there for €30 but its gone back up now I think


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,741 ✭✭✭Klingon Hamlet

    I'd say that was the ps3 version. ps4 version is in huge demand, out of stock in a lot of places.

    Yeah they have it at €75 right now the jokers


  • Registered Users Posts: 71 ✭✭smurf22


    Wow HD is the best option if you want it cheap, right now its €45.59 with free shipping, theres usually an option for delivery insurance which does be only about 75 cents

    Most items from that site come from Hong Kong so usually takes at least 4 working days to get delivered

    Bought online on Saturday and started installing that night after download. Was only on 60% when I last checked last night. Been installing going on 48 hours now but can't check ti I'm home on the current number. Hardly done yet at the previous rate. Is this correct? Surely installing also means downloading the rest of the game as I think I only originally installed about 4GB and I know the game is about 40GB.

    Anyone else experience this. Internet connection isn't hectic but It's decent. about 8mb

    Nearly started a new thread until I saw this,

    Does anybody have suggestions on where to get the lowest price on a PS4?

    I know Proco posted a great deal for the Ps and gta for €370, I'd say that deal is long gone by now,

    So any suggestions would be a great help, thanks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 954 ✭✭✭TacoMan


    Looks like the argos deal for €370 is still going:

    http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/3310773/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CVideo+games%7C14419738/c_2/3%7C19780877%7CPS4%7C37328275/c_3/4%7Ccat_37328275%7CPS4+consoles%7C37328622.htm

    There's an additional offer to get the Witcher 3 free with the above offer - PS4 + gta + witcher 3 for €370, ends tomorrow. Savage deal.

    Thanks Danny & Phobos, I'll check it out :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,429 ✭✭✭Kenjataimu


    The Witcher seems to be out of stock. http://www.checkargos.com/StockCheckPage.php?productId=346%2F6799

    I've heard of argos allowing you to buy bundles and collecting the game when it comes back in stock.

    Has anyone seen a retail copy "cheap" anywhere?

    It's dearer to buy it second hand in CEX (€65), than to buy it new in Argos (€61). :pac:

    Amazon is always a good place to look. Seen it on there for £34 which is about €46.
