    Anybody know what the cheapest official controller is at the moment? I've an €10 voucher for Argos expiring soon and trying to decide will I use it on a controller or a game. All but one of the limited edition controllers are out of stock in any Argos near me. It'll work out at about €53.

    Side question. Cheapest Master Chief collection? I'll be buying it and the controller before Xmas so just trying to decide which to use my voucher on

    The Mortal Kombat and Wireless controller for €55 doesn't seem too bad a deal either

    Thanks for that. That's what I was going to pay for the controller alone. Might sell the game :D

    Don't, you only get req packs for the extra money and you can earn them for free by playing the game anyway, plus they're only for one specific mode in multiplayer. Any substantial dlc for the game is free.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,219 ✭✭✭maximoose


    Anyone spotted any discounts on digital € gift cards? Cd Keys all out of stock

    CoD Black Ops III is £36stg with gamestop uk

    All in around €55 with parcel motel. Best I could find it. Gamestop ireland had it at €55 this morning but by the time I went through the order process, it was out of stock!!! I'm not sure if a store would honour their online price?

    See link:

    Forza 6 €39.59 in Argos

    (sorry I can't post the link as new user)

    Do you guys know if I can get a similar price for the digital download somewhere?

    Not really, most places are around €60 for a digital key for Forza.
    Best digital deal I've seen is a Forza 6/ Gears of War bundle for €71.49 from the Xbox store which nets you Forza 6 and all 4 Gears of War games. It's only available at that price until the store updates overnight, then it will go back to €109.99. If you consider that Forza 6 is €70 at full price you are getting an additional 4 games for €1.49.

    Gameladen.com has a decent price, if you don't mind that the site is in German.

    Had the Mortal Kombat and controller in my basket but site wouldn't let me buy it. The online help lady says she'll call me. Turns out it's out of stock, then she says I see you have Shadow of Mordor, it's a great game isn't it? Had a nice chat about it, gave her some tips!

    Rainbow 6 Siege is €52 in Argos.

    I thought it wasn't out until next week.

    Don't waste your money. It's a terrible game. There's absolutely nothing 'Rainbow Six' about it.

    Unless you played the beta and happened to enjoy it?

    No not picking it up myself just posting here in case someone fancied getting it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,938 ✭✭✭✭TitianGerm


    3 for 2 on all games on Littlewoods.

    Most games seem to be around €65 so three games for €130 or €43 each.

    Just checked CEX for trade in prices and they give €52 for BLOPS and Battlefront so if you want one game say Rise Of The Tom Raider you can order the above as well and trade into CEX for €104 and get TR for €28

    So got this today (very fast shipping !) but it's not a physical copy of MK - it's a download code for it :(
    Not too impressed as I live in the sticks and my download speed is 5 Meg so this will take days to download while hogging my bandwidth :mad: - it's 38 Bloody gig

    I enjoyed the beta and it wasn't even my type of game :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,859 ✭✭✭MiskyBoyy


    I bought rainbow 6 siege. I loved the beta. It has pretty good reviews all around too.

    Sell the download code on adverts or something like that and you can pick up a new hard copy of it in store at Argos for €25.99

    Wouldn't you have to install the physical copy aswel and download the updates. I don't think it would make any difference

    Switching to offline and installing from Disc is quicker - ok the updates will still need to install later but that would only be 12-15 GB
