    Seems to either be out of stock now or addressing the price. Can't add to basket.

    Unfortunate :(

    I literally just bought 1 too :)

    Got stuff through PM from Currys UK before, royal pain in the ass. Had to change my address on my revolut and use a vpn before the order would go through.

    Tried get a Google Home off them before, disaster altogether, not worth the hassle.

    Hopefully pick up a PS4 on a Black Friday deal or something. At the price Gamestop and Cex charge for them second hand it wouldn't have been worth the hassle buying One S and messing around trading. Pretty sure they could be had for around €230 on Prime Day. Only want one for the odd exclusive I'd be interested in.

    Alternatively, I'll await the mega PS4 glitch with baited breath

    Showing up as out of stock now. Fwiw the UK site has it listed as being on clearance, at £229.

    Never heard of them. They have an overall decent review on TrustPilot tho: https://ie.trustpilot.com/review/www.mtcgame.com

    Some comments say they're foreign codes that are region locked :o

    You could easily get it from the U.S xbox store if you didn't mind going that route, €52 before ea access discount. Just buy a $60 U.S gift card.


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 517 ✭✭✭TetraSonic55


    I use MTC game all the time for the Turkish gift card. No problems so far, so I'd say go ahead with it.

    The Xbox arrived today, box is a little damaged but otherwise ok

    Congrats on the XBox bargain lads...and fair play to Currys for not cancelling (never thought I'd write something good about Currys). Would have got one myself only I have one already (paid a hundred more for it though).

    I've been looking for a cheap xbox for a while now to use as a bd player/media box since Kodi became available.

    I think they've honoured it because it was a genuine clearance discount and not a misprice. It's still advertised online, albeit out of stock

    It wasn't a genuine clearance price.

    I emailed Currys about the price and I was told it was an error in pricing and they took it down because of this. It is good that they honoured it though.

    Since January. Doesn't support external drives/usbs so all add ons need a url or be taken from the repository to install.

    Have you tried connecting it with a usb cable, then unplugging it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,825 ✭✭✭IvoryTower


    I think around 40e on Amazon warehouse was best i could find recently, maybe little more after post

    This is a serious bargain for anyone who doesn't own Telltale's The Walking Dead yet.

    Pre-order the final season within the next 2 days or so and get the complete collection for free. Normally €60 on it's own.

    That includes, Season 1, Season 2, New Frontier, 400 days and the Michonne Mini-Series.

    All for just €24 from the Irish store here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ie/p/the-walking-dead-the-final-season-the-complete-season-pre-order/bpr94kq9jpdt?source=lp



    Foreign Prices here

    Looks to be out of stock already. I have a feeling Curry's had a few One S's lying around with seals broken, possibly returns. A lot of people who got the Rocket League Deal said seals were broken. Find it hard to believe they made the same pricing error twice in a week and actually honored it (which is more unbelievable for currys). Great deal regardless though

    Cheers Misky.

    Strangely I can't preorder. The button is greyed out saying "Not Available", and when I scroll down, it pops up saying "This game is not compatible with your device".

    Mine is the same.

    That can happen some times when ordering off the webstore on mobile. Try using the app.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,726 ✭✭✭marcbrophy


    Or if the app doesn't work, you might have to try on console :)

    Just noticed Battlefield 1 Revolution is only 9 quid for Gold members, and am really tempted.

    Is there a single player campaign of any note? Or is it all online? Presume it's very similar to the older games? I tend to grab battlefield games near the end of their cycles and get a bit of fun off the massive wars....

    BF1 has a great single player campaign!

    The SP is pretty average but entertaining, MP is a blast though. I ended up playing it more than BF4 in the end, so refreshing to go back to such a generally tech-free era!

    The moment i realised i could come first in every game just by running from point to point was a sad day, the game never felt the same after that!
