    Also noticed printed stickers in tesco yesterday that stated '€50 off - bring the console to the checkout'
    It was in both the PS and Xbox section.

    Not sure what bundles or consoles it was linked to as I didn't bring one up but it might be worth asking and it might be store specific

    Ya im pretty sure they are store specific; nothing of the 50 off in the stores I went to.

    Where's the best place to get the X? Have a day one 500gb xb1 that I want to upgrade. Worth trading it in or just flog it privately? Also, i don't have a 4k tv so not sure if it's worth the upgrade. Performance boosts don't seem to be huge from what i've seen.

    Good deal in my opinion and better than Gamestop deal your getting two new titles instead of cheap worthless extra games.

    Xbox One S 1TB Sea of Thieves, Halo 5 + Far Cry 5 for 279 at Smyths


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 481 ✭✭WarpAsylum


    Haven't seen this posted anywhere so I guess this is the right place???

    Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is up for pre-order on the store. 10% discount on pre-orders before release on 11th April.

    I've played this on PS and it's one of the most beautiful and immersive games I've ever played. It's not long, you're talking 4-6 hours I think, but worth every cent/minute.

    I'll be buying it again for the One X, in support of the studio's excellent work, and to enjoy it all over again looking even better.

    They wont as its part of a bundle but you will get 50 credit in game stop or €40 cash in CEX for Farcry 5 so you wont be out of pocket much Id say.

    Ended up buying rainbox six siege for 22 and paying 40euro more for the gold edition on ps4.. Got 55 trade credit for it on xbox so paid extra 7euro for the gold edition ..

    Also just to inform people if your level 3 you get 10% bonus trade credit with GameStop or 5% as level 1..

    Cash trade value is 47.50 for far cry and 50 credit .. Or as level 3 member you can get like 53cash and 55 credit

    Microsoft are doing 3 months for €7.99 At the moment down from a ridiculous price of €19.99. Think it might be just for expired accounts though so not sure if you had one previously

    its still showing on their website so must be valid but you would get a quicker and more definitive answer, in one of their stores as the website seems to be experiencing issues today when you go to complete certain purchases

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 850 ✭✭✭erkifino


    Would it be worth it to put up a bargain request thread?

    Anyway, where's the current price for a Xbox one controller?
