I have no idea, I ordered just the console for a Santa present and it came with the mario game inside for the estore and plastered all over the outer sleeve on the box was mario deluxe included. So it was either a mistake on their part or they just sent out those ones as standard? Anyone else order from littlewoods?

I've heard bad things about littlewoods. Definitely you were lucky!. How many days for the dispatch/delivery?

I paid 350 for the same thing in smyths. Littlewoods definitely didn’t have that package when I looked

But that's what I'm saying I didint order the package I just ordered the console which was advertised for 305.
Think it took 7 days from when I ordered to delivery but that was due to delivery driver acting the maggot should of been here in 5.

Basically , there is a chance that:
1- If you order from littlewoods, the parcel might arrive
2- If it arrives, then after ordering a plain switch from littlewoods gets you the Deluxe Mario Kart Digital Edition

I ordered a PSVR headset from Littlewoods in 2017 for about €350.

They sent me two boxes.

Also managed to get a 55" Samsung TV from them with a 20% off voucher, and normally you can never use their money-off coupons for televisions. Took about €300 off the price.

Mr E

I've bought a good bit off Littlewoods. No problems.

RobbingBandit

Anyone buying online make sure to check the postal service for cutoff dates.

Dead by daylight for €25 in Smyths looks interesting but probably just a few euro dearer than I'd like.

hdl

Not sure if it was posted here already, but Smyths have some of the Labo sets reduced to €25.

safetyboy

It's always good to reduce prices when there is no stock

sligeach

Smyths use scissors to cut price of paper, but stock at rock bottom.

How long did it take you to come up with that?
Also, bravo.

I see Argos have BotW Wii U for €37. Is that a bargain?

I don't really think it's a bargain price but it's the lowest price around I think and you probably won't do better. It's been that price for a while now in Argos.

About 10 seconds.

Gear club unlimited 2 down to €24 on eshop, worth a purchase?

Absolutely not.
I was dumb enough to buy it and regret it.
It might be made by the team that developed Test Drive Unlimited but it isn't fit to tie it's shoes.
Better save your money, buy Grid or something else instead.

I'm about 115 hours into Asphalt 9. I'd recommend it for your racing fix.

Grid is fantastic, as an alternative. With more updates and game modes coming soon. Highly recommend.

Bury Me My Love is free if you own any games by Plug In Digital. List here:

I had Bombslinger and Sterenden. I had to go to the eshop where I got those games to get BMML free (which was the US store).

I had BMML on mobile and it's a touching adventure game with a good story and multiple endings.

Downloaded for my nephew and he loves it. I think I'll get it myself too. Great game. Very arcadey.

Can you not just use Revolut directly on US/Canada eShop?
