Seems like a good deal.

Could this be returned to an Argos store here if there was a problem with it?

I'd imagine so

According to that page it comes with full 12 month warranty!

Is it one of the old models?

Can also save on the delivery charge by collecting it from your local Argos store.

Seems to be gone now but the 1tb with assassians creed syndicate and watchdogs bundle goes to €379.99 when Uncharted is added in the special offer section on the Argos website. Cex will give €38 for assassians creed and €31 for Uncharted making it nearly the same price for the 1tb if you didn't want to keep those games.

Pretty sure assassians creed is a physical copy inside the box but watchdogs could be download, not sure. Seems to be very good stock of the console bundle but not of Uncharted but I'm sure you can pick that up at a later date!

Can't post a proper link but heres close enough argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/4459884.htm

Thanks all for the replies. This was going to be santa prezzie and the letter is not finalised yet so will wait to pull the trigger just yet!! A laptop/netbook has been mentioned too so that would be my preference as I would get a bit of use out of that too;-)

2 physical copies of games inside the box. Uncharted is a problem for finding stock though.

Isn't there a price drop shortly? Do we know what it will cost standard after this?

The recent price reduction of the PS4 was R.R.P €399.99 down to €349.99 now. It will be this price after Christmas too.

Best bargains for anything like this will be around black friday, November 27th

Dr. Nick

So the €350 PS4 on Argos with FIFA16 looks the best value out there at the moment. What's this about 'new' PS4 and 'old' PS4?

The old has touch buttons on the console while thre has proper bottons and the old uses more power than the new one

Rumoured to be $299 for Black Friday deal.
Both the PS4 and the Xbox One ($299 each).
So perhaps 299 in Europe.

I'd imagine there will be some cracking deals on both consoles on the run up to Christmas, so no rush on this deal IMHO.

I wouldn't be so sure.

The PS4 is massively outselling the Xbox One in Europe, so Sony are under less pressure to reduce prices. In the US they are neck to neck, so a lot more competition on price.

Lord Spence

to be honest, Argos do the best deals on consoles i have seen coming up to Christmas, real value in their bundle deals, the recent one with Uncharted, AC Syndicate, evolve and a €20 voucher was massive. Hoping something as good will be coming soon with Star Wars battlefront included.

muppetkiller

Fingers crossed for a Fallout deal this week

Dr. Nick

White PS4 down to €349, can be bundled with FIFA16 (free)

Tusky

Surely the PS4 500Gb with Assassins Creed Syndicate, Watch Dogs and Uncharted Collection (or Fallout 4 for an extra €14) for €319.99 is the best deal going?

Argos. You can add either Fallout 4 or Uncharted Collection in the special offers tabs.

[edit] Fallout special offer doesn't seem to be there anymore. It was there yesterday.

Wossack

seems to be out of stock everywhere :<

Tusky

****, sorry. I picked one up a few days ago and there seemed to be plenty of stock.

hdowney

The above mentioned €319 deal seems excellent value to me. Thinking of picking one up next week

The same deal is £299.99 (€426) on argos.co.uk. I don't know why it's so cheap over here.

Don't see 319 deal. Best I see is 349 on Argos. And it's out of stock atm. Fallout is gone too from their special offers.

Managed to pick up one of these earlier in the Ilac. They didn't have Uncharted to throw in for free but I reserved one in Jervis and there was no problem going between the two. Just had to show Jervis the receipt from the Ilac

lolokeogh

Very interesting thread..can i ask are all these bargains walk in,or can i reserve online?my lad wants ps4 with the assasins pack and he laso wants cod...i was thinking it was going to cost bear 500..

braniganl

You can reserve anything in Argos online for 1 day. I reserved one of the Uncharted PS4's in Clonmel and have to pick it up between now and when they close tomorrow.

1tb PS4 marked as €389 drops down to €369 at checkout when bought with Fifa 16 which is free as part of an offer. So all in €369 for the 1tb and Fifa 16. A 1tb console with Star Wars Battlefront is €399 in GameStop so €370 with FIFA seems a good deal. Looks like a pricing error so move fast if you want it.

Argos have been pricing ps4's for cheap for a while now. I have been keeping my eye on it and will probably be pulling the trigger this week on one of the 500gb consoles, they are cheaper and I can get a hard drive myself and it will work out cheaper and I get to keep the spare 500gb hard drive.

Does anyone think there will be a better deal that whats on offer now in Argos closer to Christmas or around New years? I cant remember from last year if prices would be similar or less for new years sales

I really doubt it. The one for 360 with fifa and battlefront is probably the best you will get for a long time. You can trade those games for almost 100 bucks in cex

RobbingBandit

€319.99 for the Uncharted bundle is a steal... Trust me I would know.

Possible to add stuff too for a better deal, lots of stock about too.

Can somebody explain what best the machine to go for, Xbox 1 or ps4

Are both game play graphics the same? And the ps controller been smaller to hold, for a small child ect

Without getting into fanboyish debate my own opinion is that the ps4 is better. It has a higher market share and has better hardware.

The xbox has some nice features too though but I can't recommend it over the ps4.

Not sure about the controller, it fits comfortably in my hands and I have largish hands.

brianw1

I've just reserved a copy of the star wars and fifa bundle mentioned above. Not interested in either game so a trade in at cex for 95e, leaving the ps4 cost at 264e. Don't think I'll get it any cheaper than that!

Now to pick up the Witcher 3 from eBay ^^

any links to the bundle with FIFA and battlefront can't find it on the site..

It's really down to personal preference. Go wherever your friends are.

In terms of graphics, the PS4 always has either higher or equal resolution to XB1 but can sometimes suffer worse frame rates. The graphics between the 2 will be pretty much un-noticable unless you really went looking for the small details.

Controller wise, the PS4 pad is a bit smaller. But also is down to personal opinion which one you prefer.

XB1 has EA Access which gives you about 15 full games for €25 per year with more being added regularly.

It also has backwars compatibility for 100+ titles right now with more being added each month. So if you happen to have any old 360 games you can play them on XB1 or pick up some second hand for feck all.

Yup it sure does, PS2 backwards compatibility. Shame it wasn't ps3.

Ps2 library is far better than the ps3 in my opinion.

Ps4 has Playstation now which allows you to play certain ps3 games over the network (At an extra expense and not available here without some workarounds but will be in the future). Xbox is limited in backwards compatibility too and the list available right now is not that great in my opinion.
