    Gamestop only seem to offer their own giftcards

    CDKeys show the Euro gift cards as being "out of stock" :(

    I purchased some gift cards for the Playstation Network yesterday in Gamestop (Naas) so they should have Xbox Live cards. They don't seem to advertise the fact, though!

    You are right - that one is OK. Thsi is just a stocking filler so was looking for €10 which is out of stock.

    Not leaving the house today so have to do it online

    Worst case he gets an IOU, & I'll switch on my paypal for him when he wants to purchase

    Maybe check in your local tesco, they usually have a wall of gift cards, think I saw a microsoft one in there recently.

    Says a lot about CD Project Red and quality of their content and non fleecing of customers when you think the usual asking price for the DLC is a sale price!!!!!

    Most companies would charge 14.99 if not more for something like hearts of stone.

    It was normally 25.

    Edit: although agree with you about the quality of CD projekt red. Probably would have paid twice the full price for the full game.

    Posted this in BA too but I though I should probably post it here too. I have a new xbox one controller (one with a headphone jack) reserved in Argos Nutgrove if anyone wants it. It's reserved at €49 (the price is 56 now but Argos generally honour these reservation prices) so it's not really a bargain I know but if someone is looking for one as a present it might come in handy.

    Thanks

    However the session hangs when I try to checkout (tried multiple tiems & on different browsers) :)

    Seems like he is destined for an XBOX IOU :)

    Lucky haha .... Ordered on the 6th from Amazon France. It was meant to arrive last Thursday but had still not arrived yesterday. I am getting a refund though so hopefully it will get here when the post resumes and I get it for free :D

    Not exactly a bargin, but Amazon have a Samsung 4tb portable HDD for £130.

    Pretty handy for storage and the only 4 tb external hdd I've seen that doesn't require an external power source.

    I haven't seen it posted, so I just picked up the stick of truth on Xbox 360 from the Xbox market place for 7.99. Xbox one backwards compatible.

    Bought the xbox live, the code didn't work for me.

    Edit: When I say the code didn't work, I meant the XMASMMOGA code, not the xbox live code.

    Where would be the best place tomorrow to pick up some bargains in the St Stephens day sale?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47 Adam4850


    Did it give you a ridiculous delivery date? I ordered mine on the 23rd of December, said mine is going to be delivered on the 12th of January!

    Well whenever I'm getting a refund I've to send back the item, sounds like your stealing from them.

    Depends on if it is marked as a return or if it ends up being flagged as lost stock, of which is happening quite often now due to shipping with substandard carriers like Ascendia.

    Not quite stealing, but not far off either.

    Had to do that with Telltale, had a missing parcel which they resent and arrived quickly. The original parcel actually did turn up 4 months later:pac:

    Seems to be good reductions in Argos at the moment. Halo 5 for 34, ac syndicate for 32, Diablo 3 for 25 and rise if the tomb raider and fallout 4 for 45

    Got digital version of Tomb Raider for €46 on Xbox live this morning.

    Gonna get FO4 in Argos for that price though!
