    Son asked for one of these for Xmas, but it was always £250, so I bought a Thrustmaster Ferrari instead as it was more than half the price.

    Is the G29 much better? Should I get the G29 now and sell the Thrustmaster on?

    I picked up a G29 the other day but can't tell you which is better. It's a fun bit of kit and I got an XR Circuit racing seat too so it's a cheap enough sim rig. The brake pedal is quite stiff though so can be hard on the left knee/ankle. Some games will let you remap the brake to the clutch pedal which has a lot more give so that's a way around the issue. I've been using it on Gran Turismo sport but they've no remapping function for pedals for the G29 but I think they do for Thrustmaster wheels

    Hope that can help

    I know no chat but how young is a young lad.
    can I say Last of Us is extremely violent. Couple unsettling bits in it.

    A/C Valhalla is a new game so no discounts yet.
    Same with MW
    Physical copies of the last of us and GTA depending on the system would be cheaper to pick up surely.

    I assumed from the post that this is the digital PS5 we are talking about here.

    Where is the best place to get the best price / discounted price in CrossGen Ps4/Ps5 version of COD Cold War in Digital format?

    I have PS5 and Ps4 Pro and want to play with my son (old enough!!) in the same house...

    I assume this will work?

    Thanks

    Cex are. You need to arrange it by the website though.


    Apologies for piggy backing on somebody elses query - I got a Playstation for my godson from Tesco this morning but it turns out his father was able to get him one from Harvey Norman. I was going to trade it in to CEX, but even though the website says they pay cash, when I was there they were only offering bank transfer. I told the girl working there I'd think about it - didn't feel comfortable leaving with no console and no cash! Is that normal for CEX?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87 ✭✭rahern


    If it's a PlayStation 5 would you not sell it to someone on her me and loads more are looking for one at same price you paid for it

    I traded something in last week and had the money in bank less than 24 hours later.

    Is that a new thing? I trade in games a lot and have always got either cash or a voucher, though i havent been in over a year. Is it just bank transfers for high value items?

    Would assume it's a covid thing. My items weren't high value at all.

    I wasn't allowed into the shop.

    Ah, maybe its because they just dont want to handle cash then. Same here, the door was closed but I could see the girl inside so I just knocked/waved and she came to the door.


    Thanks

    It's not a covid thing. The staff would only have a float of usually €300 to start the day. Depending what time you go in and what they have already bought off people, they may not have enough cash, hence the transfer. I sold them a phone a year ago and she said it was too early and if she gave me the €220, it would only leave her with €40 so she transferred it to my bank account.

    They don't offer cash at all now though.

    In my opinion, you should wait. The complete silence around this when Ghosts of Tsushima and Days Gone received a patch speaks volumes IMO. I don't know if it will be a patch or a new release but something is coming in the next 6 months.

    maybe a silly question but are Argos stores open at the moment?

    Yes, for click & collect. Reserve on the site, go to the store, there will be a person at the door asking if you have reserved something. Then they will let you into the payment desk, and you collect it as normal.

    They sure are, you just need to reserve your item before entry into the shop.

    Is Crash Team Racing worth a punt? It's only 14 euro in the store at the moment.

    Brilliant game. Some rate it as high or higher than Mario Kart.
