    Can you pay in sterling?
    As some sterling prices are dearer at sendit, but dont convert to the high price on Play :confused:

    No, you can only pay in Euro if you want to ship to Ireland. Their rate of exchange has always been an issue. Even when things got really close €/£, the rate was laughable.

    The banner in the OP had the link to all the offers, but Sappy404 seems to have covered it.

    Some great offers in it to be honest... which is very unlike Play. I mean even with the sterling conversion rate, a tenner for Alien Quadrilogy is a great price! It seems to be getting cheaper and cheaper by the year. Paid €20 for it about 2 years but it's a helluva box set. If you don't already own it, buy it NOW!

    Only thing I bought in the sale was the 2 disc director's cut of Zodiac for €4 - great film and need to keep my Fincher collection up to date. Could have bought a few more things but literally struggling to fit anything else on my DVD cabinet.

    not as good as the three previous games imo but a decent platform-action game with lovely graphics and at least 12 hours game time. A steal at that price especially with the extra content which people who bought it in december didn't get.

    Mmm, I wonder if I bought this again (I sold my previous copy after completion) would I be able to just play the extra content?

    Oz is available from Sendit.com at £52.89 which is about €56 - €58 depending on the exchange rate on the day. So for anyone who missed Play's offer, its not that much cheaper if you really want it.

    I think play are pretty reliable, in terms of posting the item and recieving it, never had trouble that way, but prices can change from day to day.

    sendit.com will allow you to order at sterling prices AFAIK

    I used my debit card up north last week and got .92 so CC rate should be similar.
