    Is there a Smyths price checker or something? Because these bargains are always out of stock by the time I'm alerted to them.

    Failsafe just said it redeemed for him so I don't see how it's a scam?

    Tried twice with them followed all the instructions and it doesn't work. Seems like a few people on hduk having the same issues

    That doesn't mean it's a scam though? What VPN were you using? It may not have been connecting you to Brazil.

    I'll try tomorrow and see if it'll work for me using Pure VPN.

    I think he means he is having an issue with redeeming a code. Best described as an "issue" rather than a scam ;)

    Here is what I used to redeem the code.

    PC - Windows 10.
    Chrome browser - incognito window.
    Zen VPN for Windows client as recommenced.

    I only notice 1 or 2 having an issue with redeeming the code out of a very popular hotukdeals thread.

    From skimming through the most recent posts I get the sense that some users aren't too comfortable with region hopping and VPN's. Not a reflection on yourself, just an observation. Seems more than the vast majority are successful.

    Did it there, worked fine. Had a couple weeks left on my old sub and topped up with new Brazil code using Tunnel Bear as VPN on my phone.

    There is a direct URL to BRL 'redeem code' page in page 2 of the comments in HDUK and used that cos tricky to find page otherwise.

    Changed location to Brazil, then opened Incognito Page and entered coded provided through the URL mentioned above.

    Microsoft Xbox One Play and charge kits are scanning in Tesco at €6.05

    No idea on controllers, consoles, etc so you will have to check your own store

    ^^^

    That reminds me!

    Got a digital TV tuner from the game collection the other day.
    £7.35 with the E3HANGOVER code and IE shipping.

    Someone who wants Saorview or Freeview on the Xbox, might find it handy :)

    No issue. Xbox codes are global except for 1 or 2 markets.

    Box was a bit battered? I assumed it was in it, never picked it up so I could be wrong
