    Could do that but adding upto €30 to it ,if all is sent separately.
    Just off the phone to Amazon and they have now said it can only be posted to main land UK.

    When I tried to order to order it, it was definitely 2 parts.
    The games in one shipment and the console in the other.

    I hadn't realised that AddressPal was gone so dear!
    I thought it was about three fiddy! :)

    Oversize stuff has to be delivered to your door, which costs €7 per delivery for items under 5kg.

    Best bet would be Adverts as havent seen any decent deals on the controllers around. I see few new ones going for 45-50

    WWE games are a far cry from what they used to be. More simulation now and just not as fun in my opinion.

    Cool thanks all. I've signed back up for Xbox live for first time in 18 months.

    Any really cheap bargain games to keep me going before Red dead redemption comes out? I don't plan on getting EA Access again.

    Cheers!

    Maybe my kids are rough on them but I find the new ones don't last very long, especially the jack port, so would doubt second hand ones would be particularly good, worth going new I'd have thought

    Late I know but you can get XBL for under 20Eur when using a VPN from xbox.com

    Got it for 18Eur from Argentina not too long ago

    Unfortunately all VPNs are now out. You need a payment method that is registered to that particular region. So that rules out all the VPNs. It came in a few weeks ago. Apparently people were spamming the Argentina store for fornite Vbucks or whatever they are called so Xbox cracked down on the out of region purchases :rolleyes:

    Should there be a bargain request topic by now? It's kinda frustrating to get a notification in a thread called Xbox Bargain Alerts only to find people too lazy to browse and price compare for themselves.

    Gamestop are selling from 6pm today , not sure if others will also. Its due to a 50GB update required before you can play.

    The release time specifies 5am our time so most likely people picking it up early will just be updating then ready for the launch.

    It would appear it's a worldwide launch at the same time.


    *update, its a staggered launch. New Zealand are currently up and Australia shortly.

    I agree. Sorry I was one of the culprits. I did go through a few pages on this thread and didn't see much that appealed. Could I suggest that we have one thread for just games and xbox live, and another for hardware and accessories?

    Just a thought. I for one am just interested in games and when my xbox live runs out. Maybe there is more that are just interested in those. It's not that difficult to have two threads on the go.
