    Digital downloads are priced differently in various Microsoft/Xbox online stores.

    If you could figure out a way to make a purchase from a foreign store, there are big savings to be had.

    No one here could possibly suggest how you would do this, but I'm sure the answer is online somewhere

    I don't think the A50 linked above work with PS4 but I'm not 100% sure.

    They should. Its the same headset only has extra cables inside to connect to Xbox ONe controller. Its fully wireless for the PS4 IIRC.

    Picked up the A50s today too. Have to say, while I didn't expect them to rival my discrete surround set-up, I wasn't prepared for them to be so blatantly average in terms of sound directionality. I'm aware it's obviously a simulated 7.1 environment but I've definitely experienced better surround sound from other headphones. While footsteps and many other 'nuanced' sounds are coming through, it's just a wall of background noise - I could hear every damn footstep of every player in H5 but without decent directionality, it's just distracting! Ended up taking them off and reverting to the speakers again. Not sure I'll actually bother using them now! Glad I got them for half price anyway.

    Cheers OP!

    Just as you mention it, got an email from DGP saying it's been added to their site. Still not updated but a quick look at the usual suspects, €39.98 from our friends in Moscow.

    Your link is handy for those who don't wanna bother with the workaround/vpn tho :)

    HMV are having a "Warehouse Clearance" atm and have some good prices including €40 each for Blops3 and Just Cause 3 and €60 for Guitar Hero. You can get 10% off online when you spend €50 with the code VAL187 (expires on the 20th).

    Was just in the GameStop in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin and they have DA: Inquisition with all DLC for €20...a VERY good deal if you haven't played it.

    Might be a temp pricing error so grab it soon if you're interested.

    Isn't dragon age free on EA Access? would you not get the DLC cheaper digitaly taking into account the 10% discount?

    Maybe! Not an Access member so unaware of what they're offering.

    If there's a DLC price reduction too that sounds pretty handy. There were a few DLC packs right?

    Seems like a better option so, but €20 is a decent price for a physical disc

    Nice one. Rocket League is only €7.80 from Russia :D (or €3.90 if you game share)

    That's cheaper than the sale prices on Steam, yet most primarily pc gamers think xb1 games are expensive :pac: :cool:

    The dlc comes on a download card. Trade it back in to CEX for €10.

    That's not a bargain that's an advert and I don't think your allowed to sell here.

    Use Adverts.ie

    not selling. But that's OK, jump to conclusions. Just asking because I'm interested in it.
    *Edit, apologies if my OP reads like an advert. Feel free to move it if need be.

    Not getting onto you.

    Try entering the titles on the CEX website and see how much credit/cash they will give you. Might be less headache than trying to sell on Adverts.
