    I'm not sure if it's a placeholder or it's right, but the GameStop website is showing a 1Tb Pro will get €250 trade credit. Compared to CEX who will give €138 credit for the same thing... Surely not right? I'd be tempted to bring mine in on Monday when getting the Controller and putting it towards a Series X... Seems like really good value.

    Edit: It has the same console underneath but with a trade price of €200. Still not bad mind.

    Would be about right. They're doing a deal where you get a Pulse headset, a dualsense, a dualsense charger and Ratchet and Clank for €50 when you trade in a PS4 Pro and they all vost about €280 separately.

    Tallaght got loads of the black dualsense into stock today, around 30. Only 4 red

    Red out of stock in Tallaght now. Plenty of black ones, cost me 3quid, great deal

    Pay €17 to upgrade to level 3. You will get 10% bonus on trade in and a €10 euro once off trade in bonus to use on another day.

    There is also a 25% bonus against preorders.

    Oh I has that already, not far off Epic and I didn't pay for any upgrade, so they get a good bit of custom from me. I'll ask the price tomorrow when I'm in.

    Got a call yesterday from Stephen's Green saying they had a cancellation for a red pad and got one held for me. Went in today and got it for €4 with my epic card after trading my white pad in.

    @ mods, just a suggestion.

    With the split in PS4 and PS5 player base would there be any chance we could have a separate thread for each here?

    PS4 bargains
    PS5 bargains

    I haven’t and won’t be upgrading to a PS5 any time soon so it’s a waste of time seeing 10 “bargains” about the new dual sense controller for PS5.

    Thanks


  • Registered Users Posts: 662 ✭✭✭shawki


    I was clearing out a wardrobe and found some PS2 games. I checked CEX and all my mine are duds in €0.00-€2.00 range but I saw some crazy prices.

    A possible "bargain" for people who might have these games lying around.

    Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone PS2 €48 Cash, €57 Voucher

    Not quite as good but Simpsons Hit and Run PS2 €16 Cash, €23 Voucher.

    I'd like them kept together. I have a PS5 but happy to pick up bargain PS4 games to play on it. Some things are not going to interest me - I already have 2 Dualsense and the new colours aren't something I'm bothered about - but that's going to happen with any thread giving recommendations.

    There’d be nothing stopping you from opening the PS4 thread though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,417 ✭✭✭✭Exclamation Marc


    Much like games you're not interested in, just skip past them. Most bargains (outside of the very few PS5 only items such as the Dualsense) are cross platform.

    Same as that. I’ve picked up more PS4 bargains than PS5 here. I’d keep them together for a while yet


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,575 ✭✭✭✭Riesen_Meal


    I'm sure PS3 and Vita were lumped in here when the PS4 was only just out, not sure having PS5 stuff is any different, everyone will eventually get one when the time is right....


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,382 ✭✭✭petes


    Don't think there is too many PS5 bargains yet to have it's own thread :pac:

    Still buy both PS5 and PS4 so don't see the harm in having them in one thread.

    Returnal dropped to $50 for prime day in the US, of course it’s dropped on Amazon uk, but it’s still £65

    Bargain? Maybe. Cheaper, definitely….. if it was £50 or less I’d bite

    was reduced a tiny bit on amazon.de I think down to below 70 anyway.

    Whats with the "bargains" in quotes?

    Dont like the dual sense controller?

    I would like ps4 and ps5 to stay together also.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,847 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    So popped into GameStop yesterday to get my black DualSense, and with Level 3 it cost 99c. I also traded jn Rift Apart and got Returnal for around €35 so not a bad trade in day at all.

    The Pro will get me €220 credit and can be out on my card to use online also, so probably gonna do that soon before the price drops.

    I expected my copy of Rez to be worth a few quid, but since it was free on PS plus, I'd say it's near worthless now.

    If anyone sees any PS3 bargains, I'm still interested. Actually, anyone know of any PS3 controller bargains?

    Hi. So I'm level 3, The black controller is 99c with that rather than €4.99 without?
    Thanks in advance.

    Base trade value for a Dualsense is €40, you still get your extra 10% trade boost on top of that then it has €25 added for the offer.

    Thanks,
