    Is this worth getting got middling reviews ?

    It's nice, but the follow up, Panzer Dragoon Zwei is a far better game, and that's on the Saturn

    I think you can try it for free if you sign up to Stadia. It's one of the free games with the one month Pro trial. If you want to test it out yourself that could be a free way to do it.

    Picked up a clearance copy of Shovel Knight Treasure Trove for Switch in Naas Smyths for €25 (not a mahoosive bargain I realise). There was one more copy on the shelf (and it’s not listed on the website)

    It's been €25 for months it's off the site now so I'm hoping that it goes to €15 that's my price range

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 796 ✭✭✭Eduard Khil

    Thanks.

    Some deal got two for £36 on uk site. Managed to get a 2TB external for €21 on the Irish site. Had a 1TB internal SSD for £20 in basket too but it got pulled before I could check out. Hopefully they ship. There was a few with minus prices too didn't bother they'd certainly be cancelled. Their site is being hammered. There own credit card page wouldn't work. Worked ok through paypal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,498 ✭✭✭Irish Halo


    Think I got one (I have a confirmation email anyway) I thought the 400GB for £50 from Amazon was good, now I have 512GB for my Switch and a spare 400GB for a tablet I've not bought yet ...
