has anyone returned something ought on gamestop.ie before?

i bought an xbox one s for my sister last monday but then they brought out the 299 offer
so cue me emailing gamestop to get an rma number (its unopened) but i haven't heard anything back from them yet
i sent the email on the 20th i tried to phone them on the 22nd at 3pm to which i received an automated response starting lines are open until 4pm.

but they had switched it over before 4 so I left a message hoping someone would call or email me back but still nothing at all?

Cuphead is a super little game. Only played about an hour but it's great.

Looking forward to getting back into it later

Yeah, I appear to be quite formal when I've had a few.

Thanks everyone, brilliant ideas, I'll go for the vinyl cuphead figure idea with fancy looking printed code on a pic.

Chuffed I asked here because I was just going to print code and stick it In a card. He's only 9 so that'd been a bit crap.

1. Get a digital code for Cuphead.(Tear off rest of receipt with the price on it.)

I agree with the rest of your post but not the bit I left instead of having the receipt print off a image of cup head with the code writing below in fancy font.

Dear forum,

My son wants Cuphead for Christmas and he's still a believer (in Santa). There are no physical versions, not even code in a box type jobs available. So how can I make something decent to put under the tree? Any helpful advice gratefully received.

Yours sincerely TMM

3. Insert code in box in an easily spotted position.

Is there anyway you could get the console without him noticing, download Cuphead, then just wrap it up with a card that's says "Now with added Cuphead".

Hey guys,

Anyone know if\where you can buy a digital gift card for Star Wars Battlefront 2? I need something tangible that can be gift wrapped. And Not a disc if possible

Cheers.

As suggested, write the code on a card. Be creative? Buy a cheap Star Wars toy and write the code on it somewhere? Make it into a joke and say you got confused, it'll be a memorable one.

CatInABox

You could just get a code and put that into a card? Or get a small box and put the code in there? Gift wrap that? Not ideal, but there's ways around just having the code.

Nowhere unfortunately, all you will get is a code on a receipt. Though I think you can get a gift card to put the receipt in if purchased in GameStop, haven't gotten one in a while so I may be mistaken.

Otherwise you could get Xbox credit for the value of the game in Argos, who are the only retailer still selling physical cards.

do you mean a download code for the actual game? or in game currency (which has been turned off at the moment)?

I should think so, i'm pretty sure all the newer controllers are all bluetooth. My One S controller and another I bought from amazon both work on bluetooth with my PC and steam link.

Nice one, thinking about it, I'm sure to have a BT adapter around somewhere!
And CEX will give me €12 for that MS adapter!

Everything's coming up Milhouse

Yeah they can connect to PC (or any device with bluetooth) without the adapter provided it has bluetooth. Unfortunately the elite isn't bluetooth though

They can, without any real issue. I think it can only do one at a time though.

It does not. A new model has been rumoured for some time now.

It may be a joke, but USB Bluetooth keys are pretty cheap, but you'd be better off going with the Xbox Adapter, I'd say.

I have the adaptor, but it's constantly dropping connection.
I reckon that 2.4ghz is overcrowded, knocking it off, so BT would be the way to go

That's great! So damn cheap. I was going to go with an internal BT card, but for 6 pound, you can't go wrong. Plus a search on amazon is not bringing back any internal BT cards

I have a few questions that arise from the BA thread, but don't belong there!
Folks are talking about their new controllers having Bluetooth.

Can these new ones connect to a PC, without needing a windows xbox one adaptor?
Does the elite controller have Bluetooth?
How cheap can I get a BT card for my PC?

Last one's a joke! :P

Kodi have updated their Windows client to be 64 bit, which is apparent one of the steps needed to build a UWP app. That'll then mean that they'll have an Xbox One app.

See here.

Hi all,

My son has an Xbox 1.

I’m clueless about this stuff. He wants santa to bring him Xbox coins so he can buy stuff. What’s the best way to do this please?

I don’t want to give him my c edit/debut card. Used it to buy something once and then it stayed in his system and he bought more stuff. Thankfully only to the value of €70

You need to get Xbox Credit so.

If you use CD Keys you get a small discount on them but they can be bought in GameStop, Smyths and Argos as well.

https://www.cdkeys.com/xbox-live/gift-cards-points/microsoft-gift-card-50-euro-xbox-one-360

If you have a prepaid phone with leftover credit you can use that credit on HMV Game Credit.

What is he wanting to buy? If it's a game they can usually be found cheaper in Argos/Amazon/Simplygames than on the Microsoft Store.

Don't worry, you will still have massive 4k patches to download as well
