I thought it was only new versions now.

Edit: It's the AC pack and the pic shows the all matt black finish, bound to be the new one.

Anyone know if this is the new version of the PS4?

There was a deal a few weeks back and those who picked up the PS4 said it was the newer 1200 model they got, so more than likely it should be.

Excellent feature that will keep both us and Argos happy. Cheers!

I'm boycotting Argos until they unblock CheckArgos.com

I can't understand why they wouldn't just implement themselves, it's an unbelievably useful feature

Do people think this is the best deal we are gonna get with Argos? If I went for this and a better one came along, would they do an exchange?

It's one of the better ones your going to get, I'd pick this up myself only I plan on getting a 1TB model. The RRP is €350 so the fact your getting three free games, a €10 voucher and over €30 off the normal price you can't go wrong.

FIVE free games actually...

You'll actually get 90 euro for fallout 4 and Assassins Creed in CEX so 240 for a PS3 with Watchdogs sounds good to me

brevity · 13-11-2015 12:22PM

I'd say the games included are probably just codes.

You can only get one or the other in this deal, can't get both.

Does anyone know for sure if all the games are codes or physical copies?

You can get AC, Watchdogs and pay 14 euro for Fallout 4.

The Fallout 4 is a separate Argos code, so I assume that it at least is a physical copy.

Just can't find feckin' stock anywhere. Rang Letterkenny to try and track down stock, unfortunately the fella I got told me that there was no stock in and none in the warehouse so they were unlikely to ever have it in stock again. He then also informed me (I swear I'm not making this up) that they had a PS4 Mario bundle with Mario in the box! I'm guessing he's not a gamer

Watchdogs is a download code but Fallout and Assassins are boxed.
You can add Fallout for 14 euro instead of Uncharted. Better deal IMO. Uncharted will be 20 euro soon enough.

Actually both might be boxed ?

Thanks. Final question - does anyone know if these PS4's are the new or old models?

The pic on the box of the PS4 AC bundle shows an all matt console, so fairly sure it's the new one.

Most of the WORX power tool range is less than half price.

On toys, yes, provided the competitor has the item in stock

Screen dpi isn't the best- but you're getting a 1280x800 resolution.
It has a quadcore processor- its a 1.3Ghz Mediatek jobbie- its cheap and cheerful- I wouldn't write home about it- but its definitely more powerful that a good smartphone from 3-4 years ago. Its got 1Gb of system RAM- which means you will constantly have to manually close apps- (its the one failing of Android- it doesn't close apps when you go back to the home screen- its nothing unusual to end up with loads of them running in the background).

Its cheap and cheerful- and doesn't pretend to be anything other than this. This is reflected in the price. Its cut corners- your forward facing camera is a 2Mp jobbie- the rear a 5Mp jobbie. The pictures from it are not the best. Ultimately you get what you pay for. If you're comparing this to a Samsung Galaxy, an iPad or even something as menial as an Asus Memopad- its sadly lacking.

The main selling point for this is the price- its remarkable that you can get a 10" tablet at this price point- however, the price is the reason to buy this- not the specs or the usability. If you intend to use this regularly for anything other than a little light web browsing or to play a few videos- don't bother- you're wasting your time.

Its aimed at kids- and using it is laggy- if you're used to a more powerful unit- notwithstanding its latest version of Android...........
