The size on the disc is close to 50GB for all 30 games, it's 12GB for the older games and then the rest is taken up by the 360 games that install separately work through Xbox One's new software emulation for backwards compatibility. I had 6.2GB of patches overall to install on Friday for it.

You can also sell your old black Xbox one controller to CEX for €35. Its a handy way to upgrade for very little outlay.

There's a thread dedicated to this in the Xbox forum.

Do I just bring the controller itself into them or does it need to be in its original package to get the €35?

They sell them for €32 so I'm guessing you don't get €35 off them anymore?

Just the controller. If you have the box I sappose you could bring it to. They won't give you any extra mind you.

Fairly cheap tent, down from 84 to 21 euro

FYI, it has mixed reviews, might not be entirely waterproof

Homestore has a load of tents at the minute for very cheap!

Again, maybe not great quality but cheap!

Thats €44.99 in pc world, have previously seen it for €37.99 there. Might be worth waiting for a discount. Awesome keyboard for HTPC, have mine a few years, only replaced batteries once i think, only drawback is no dedicated media keys

Had that keyboard before. Got it from Amazon for about €30. Does the job but I wasn't mad on the touchpad. Sold it and bought a gaming touchpad for my raspberry pi2.

We are actually in the process of adding this functionality to checkargos (huge thanks to scanner.today for supplying the historical price data)

That product has changed price a good bit over the last year:

Cheapest it has been is €33.99 on 22nd of April

It is currently the most expensive it has been at €46.99 (changed to this price on 18th of July)

Most recently it was €36.39 on 1st of July, so it was a big change in price.

If anyone has any other feature requests or suggestions please get in touch!

What device are you using it with? Did you check the language settings in Control Panel?

Without going too much into it & seeing as it's kinda OT feel free to PM a response but if you have the data on price fluctuations like that, how difficult would it be to implement a price timeline over 6-12 months like what transfermarket.co.uk use for player valuations? They've a great graph to show how a players value is rising/falling but I can see how it would be difficult to manage that amount of fluctuating data, considering how much stock Argos has!

Yeah that's the plan, I'd imagine we will have it up and running in the next couple of weeks. I'm really looking forward to having it!
