There generally isn't sales on xbox gift cards. You pay €50 for €50 etc. usually.

Some sites such as this have them reduced sometimes but nearly always out of stock: http://www.electronicfirst.com/xbox-gift-cards/50-xbox-gift-card-eu/

Which is why I hated it when MS switched from points to currency.

Used to be no problem getting the point cards significantly below face value. It wasn't unusual to get 4200 point(€50) cards for less than €40.

Xbox digital store wasn't region free then tho. I much prefer the region free digital store with local currency now. Buying way more games than I ever did on 360.

Slight discount here, and they are in stock. €25 for €22.99 (plus 5% off if you like them on facebook), it's rare that you see discounts any bigger than that.

€7 off roughly isn't bad, that'll get me 4 songs free basically.

Yea just saw the 1TB is over €500 now !!! Hope whoever mentioned it in here yesterday at €320 reserved it at that price !!

Best bargain I could see was Borderlands Handsome Collection for €24 and Evolve for €15

Anyone got a handy guide on how to purchase from foreign Xbox stores? Liking the look of Rainbow Six from Colombia!

Can't discuss it on here so Google is your friend.

Argos was my go-to for xbox games, why have they shot themselves in the foot so badly?

Are they affected by the Homebase deal I wonder? That was sold and they owned Argos

I'd say the price changes are to bring them in line with the new catalogue and will drop again soon enough.

I wouldn't pay any heed fo what's in the paper catalogue, that was always wrong compared to the in store price, I presume they do it that way in the event of there being any possible price rises that they'd be covered.

Whatever team at MS that was financing the cheaper xmas console has finished the promotion so prices go back up

PC World in limerick have an xbox one 500gb (with the Kinect, iirc) for €299

MiskyBoyy

I know it's not for Xbox as such but you can get Rise of the Tomb Raider on Windows 10 store for just €8.50 and still get xbox gamerscore that way if you have a gaming PC.

Just bought it using my Revolut card. Didn't even need to use VPN :pac:

Was going to get it on XB1 but I still get Xbox achievements this way.

Thanks for sharing :cool:

New Argos catalogue seems to forgo the process on a lot of games, instead asking you to go online or in store for them.
Most things seemed to go up in price as a result though, with a few exceptions.

Sorry, I thought I deleted it.
I was looking on a German forum and saw the Xbox One 1TB version is €251 on Amazon Warehouse Deals in Very Good Condition

I've bought a TV from them with the same description, it came perfect as far as I could see, no blemishes at all, and came with warranty.
I didn't check the shipping on the xbox One.

I'm seriously considering this. Where would I stand warranty wise "if" something went wrong? Would MS Ireland look after me?
