Same price in gamestop

Are Amazon any use for games in the prime days? Want to pick up COD cold war but was thinking of waiting to see if it's reduced over the few days

The PS5 version is down to €60 in Smyths if that's any use.

JimBurnley · 14-06-2021 6:50pm

Empire of Sin is €20 in gamestop. Was in there buying RnC so took a punt on it

It was down to €35 2 weeks ago

Markitron · 15-06-2021 8:25am

Ratchet and Clank is £59 on amazon atm, brings it down to a reasonable price.

£59 Sterling a bargain for a game is as good a reason as any to not buy into next gen at this point.

Screw that

It's out less than a week. So it is a bargain in that regard. And many have said that €70 would be their biting point on the game.

This is a weird post. It is out 4 days and is being sold for 10 quid under RRP. Whether you consider it a bargain or not isn’t really the point.

R&C is amazing looking but nothing special to play, I was stunned when I saw it for €80 in Smyths and €85 in Argos.

Why? Is it a Sony thing? Other games on for PS5 are still €55-60.

Have you played it yet?

Yes. Anyone on the fence I'd say wait till it's €30-40.

How much did you pay for it? Out of curiosity.

All Sony first party games are now €80 excluding smaller games like Miles Morales which are €50.

This has pushed me to go digital on my US account as games are around €56 if you get a good deal on psn credit.

Anyone on the fence, I'd say buy it at the €70 "bargain" price, trade it in a few weeks for ~€50 - it is hugely worth it. An incredible game.

I use Canada for that reason. Much much cheaper. It's a kids game but people are so starved for "exclusive PS5 game" that they're telling themselves it's worth it... if you like it fine. In a month it'll be cheaper everywhere.

Imagine enjoying a kids' game. Some people are so immature.

Had a quick look at your post history as you looked familiar.

Jesus, you’ve a hard-on for criticising how people spend their money.

So if indeed you did buy it, why did you? It's not like it's a brand new ip or anything!

It's a "kids game" which you knew going in but still spent money on it? Seems strange no?

Give me R&C before another cod, battlefield etc any day. Just not when it costs €80.

It's nothing got to do with that. If you read it I BOUGHT the game too. My point was €80 is a bit much for a although stunning looking the gameplay is nothing to write home about.

I was just giving people a non fanboy opinion. Not telling people how to spend money. K.

If you have an issue use the mute/hide button and move one. Back on topic.

Any playstation plus deals - mine just ran out today - thanks

Potential-Monke · 17-06-2021 6:35pm

GameStop are doing a trade deal, trade in your white DualSense for a black or red one and only pay €4.99. I was gonna keep mine but that's too good a deal, will get second down the line if I need it. Hopefully some black controller/face plates combo.

Aw nice, will go in with mine tomorrow. I don't mind the white but a brand new controller in a lovely black just for a fiver is too good to pass up.

Edit: i can't actually see the terms and conditions plus you can only preorder for home delivery and not collect in store. Hopefully they have plenty of stock tomorrow and it's not something like you have to be level 3 to get the deal.

Already received my black DualSense yesterday from Smyths. It pairs very well with my black PS5. Might trade my white pad in for the red or a second black one though.

I've been having charging problems with my controller and kept forget to try a different cable. Tried my wife's phone usb c cable and worked every time i connected where as my ps5 cable would only work every 5th or 6th time putting it in so it's definitely an issue with the cable thank ****. I'd spend more than a fiver buying a new usb c cable so now i get a new controller and cable for a fiver.

I'm gonna be there first thing in the morning!

You should just get the official charging Dock, so handy

martyos121 · 17-06-2021 8:23pm

That’s an amazing deal, both of my controllers are fairly new as I returned one recently due to some drift issues, but I’ll be replacing both of them for the grand total of a tenner without question.

It doesn’t say how long that deal runs, so I’m guessing it’ll be wise to get that done tomorrow or Saturday at the latest.

Brilliant accessory. Doubles as a display stand. My battery never runs out as a result.

JimBurnley · 17-06-2021 9:39pm

Ratchet and Clank down to €70 in Smyths. Bit surprised at such an early reduction, understood it was selling well, but hopefully a sign of things to come for the €80 to be slashed on other titles soon after release

SMC92Ian · 17-06-2021 10:04pm

Great deal that controller, gonna do it even though my controller is perfect and I love the white. The red is nice.

The €80 price tag was probably putting people off. I am guessing they have a lot of stock too.

Comparison of the 3 dualsense controllers, tempted by the red one myself

Zero-Cool · 18-06-2021 11:33am

Thanks Potential again for posting the dualsense bargain, picked up my black controller this morning and it's a beaut!

In and out in 2 minutes, no hassle at all. One thing though, she said the deal with be 10 euro to back it but because I had a level 3 card, I only had to pay 2.99. I checked my receipt and it looks like you get 50 credit for your white dualsense and then pay a fiver for the black DS so she must have just been mistaken.

Also, I didn't think I had level 3 as I was told it expired last time I was there but I still have a physical level 3 card.

Anyway, brand new controller but no USB cable with it and as it kept disconnecting during the firmware update, still need to buy a new cable but still happy out with the new controller.

The deal tops up the trade value to €65 from the base price of €40.

You will still get the base price plus your trade boost from your card.

Seeing as it dropped the price by €2 I'd say the level 2 5% boost was applied.

gerrybbadd · 18-06-2021 11:43am

Gamestop are doing a trade in deal, where you can bring your old Dualsense in (no box or cable required), and trade for one of the new colours - €4.99 for the black, and €8.99 for the red.

ah so the red is a burgundy? Nice choice!

Will grab one when I get my PS5 (once PSVR2 is out)

RocketRaccoon · 18-06-2021 12:52pm

Have 2 white controllers so definitely going to trade one in for a black.

El Gato De Negocios · 18-06-2021 2:29pm

Nioh 2
FF8 Remastered
Resident Evil 2 Remastered

In argos for €17.99.

nedd · 18-06-2021 2:44pm

I went over the Newbridge Gamestop and got the last red. Came home, opened it and it's Black. I don't mind the colour, it's the fiver extra I paid that is killing me.

mrcheez · 18-06-2021 2:46pm

The red looks very Deadpool

rob808 · 18-06-2021 3:05pm

I trade in my white dualsense only had to pay 1 euro for midnight black.I had a level 3 card such a good deal from gamestop.

18-06-2021 3:08pm

Can you get the €5 controller deal without being a Gamestop member or will you have to sign up to it?

yea you could you don't have one to get the deal. They probably give you a level 1 card either way and you only have to pay €5.

ItsHoggie · 18-06-2021 5:08pm

Anyone know when the offer is up? Might trade in my white dualsense for a black one over the weekend
