    Trying to choose between Mad Max and Batman Arkham Knight for the same price...

    Thoughts?

    Mad Max all the way for me, Batman was good but if you have played any of the games before it then you know what you are about to get

    Hi folks, I remember a while ago someone here mentioned a prepaid foreign currency card that you could use on amazon and similar sites to avoid their rip off exchange rates.

    Been searching the site but can't find the post. Anyone recall what it was?

    Do you need to be resident in the country, with a permanent address, or can you use it when you are just visiting on holidays?

    Same here, thought why not? Massively limits the chances of card getting skimmed.

    MOD REMINDER:

    Discussion of deals found on foreign regions is totally ok, discussion on how to circumvent region restrictions to get those deals is not.

    What would be my best option to get Shape Up (Kinect game) as a digital download? (I bought Kinect Sports Rivals on cdkeys for around 11 EUR so I got hungry for more Kinect games)

    You can check which region the prices are cheapest here. Shape Up standard ed is €18.37 in the Argentinian store, which seems to be the cheapest for everything currently.

    Picked up Batman Arkham Knight for €22.49 in Xtra vision today, not the bargain of the century and not even sure I will like it but not bad value.

    Didn't have much there to be honest. Rise of the Tomb Raider for €35, Halo MCC for €17.50

    €35 for ROTTR is good value. Might pick it up myself for that price.
