If he's only young then go for this bundle and get Skylanders Superchargers with it. http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/4629054/c_1/1|category_root|Video+games|14419738/c_2/3|19780877|PS4|37328275/c_3/4|cat_37328275|PS4+consoles|37328622.htm

It's got integrated graphics, will play them but won't be a good experience. You won't get any better for less than 600 though.

Thanks for that. I had a different Toshiba one reserved on Friday and it got slated here so really appreciate your opinion as I would not have a clue. That's about max I want to pay as I have already bought an Elgato for 120 and still need to buy camera and microphone

Very strange reason not to have a refurb. I'm be more afraid that it was a floor model or left on in an office 24/7.

This is the new CUH1200 model PS4.

It was for 1 day only so you're out of luck.

I received that 10 euro gift voucher there other day after buying the nexus 9, which I adore BTW!! I can't think of anything I need or want with it, any suggestions?

Good call

Canon EOS 1200D 330 Euro 439/7829

For the lazy:

Take the €30 cashback into account, and you bag it for €299.

Grey though.

Does anyone know if the above mentioned Canon would be a good starter DSLR? Had been looking at some for the other half for Xmas. This reduction will swing it if worthwhile. Thanks for posting.

I got the Nikon 3200 last year from Argos at a really good price. Entry level DSLR and very happy with it. The Eos offering is pitched at the same end of the market and at less than €300, it's a good starter camera, for sure. You'll obviously need a mem card and case to compliment the camera but they're cheap enough.

Just to note: the cashback comes in the form of a prepaid VISA card with a 1yr expiry date.

Plus you'll get a tenner Argos giftcard too !

Are the giftcards not gone since last week?

Where can you spend the prepaid Visa?

Online. As you will not have a 4 digit PIN, you are out of look with local retailers.

You will be able to use it, If not a chip and pin card you will need to sign for the transaction. Same as you do now with some shopping center that use the prepay mastercards as gift cards.

Canon's cashback is to bank accounts now, just applied for mine this morning for a camera I bought, they asked for BIC/IBAN...

The Canon camera is a bit cheaper up the north. £220, or just over €310.

Works out at €321 using Visa's own exchange rate. Hardly worth it unless you live near the border...
