    Was going to post it, had to order first :)

    I've already bought 8 (to keep under the €23), but trying to get another 8 is Timing out constantly.

    Ah well, probably a purposely marketed misprice .. We'll see.

    EDIT - Got 2nd 8. Gonna keep it at that.

    I doubt they'll be honoured, but fingers x'd. I didn't even count how many I want.
    I think I would only use 12 (Nephew, friends, me etc..) 4 extra would be handy too.

    what devices will these work with ?
    apart from xbox and playstations, is there any use for them on ipads etc ?

    Cheers OP.

    Btw I paid in $ on FocalPrice and PayPal converted it and tried to charge their rate of $5.98 = €5.41. I changed the setting so that it charged in $ and AIB charged me €5.27 incl fees instead, compared to Google's rate of €5.21 that's not too bad.

    Just a heads up for anyone else and let's hope they're honoured!

    Why? Whats the €23 limit for?


  • Posts: 7,320 ✭✭✭ Carmelo Fat Suit


    Customs. Think it's a bit higher than that though.

    In case they get stopped by customs.
    I reckon they're supposed to be priced at €27.40 each, so don't know if we'll get them, but if they do honour the price and they get stopped, I'll have a receipt from paypal and invoice from them for €21.92.

    Here too, paypal receipt but no confirmation email from focalprice. Probably an error price, but worth a shot!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,157 ✭✭✭✭Alanstrainor

    Works with Android and Jailbroken iOS devices apparently. Doesn't work with Xbox 360/One or PS3/4.

    Had been working with Wii U until an update apparently. I'm reading a little more now.

    EDIT - Apparently launched for 1 Yuan (~€0.11c).






    But that was only for the first 300 sales.

    .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,541 ✭✭✭duridian


    Well I took a chance and ordered 2.
    Decided to take the option with the tracking number just to see what route it goes. Assuming of course that they honour the price.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,201 ✭✭✭tharmor


    I updated new address in paypal while adding card details...MF took old junk address in the order...now can't get it changed....balls...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,683 ✭✭✭Subcomandante Marcos


    Ordered through paypal, if it's honored it would be handy for playing older games through emulators on the laptop.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,357 ✭✭✭coldfire1x


    Thanks, took a chance, ordered!! Now the suspense begins :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 410 ✭✭DaraDali

    Quite possibly a misprice.

    thanks op


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,357 ✭✭✭coldfire1x


    Got the mail from Paypal but nothing from Focalprice. Although the order is showing up in my account. Anyone got mail from focal?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 540 ✭✭✭dos29


    Not even sure what these are but I just ordered 4.
    Thanks. I think?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,040 ✭✭✭crabbypaddy


    These are really good quality have one for a couple of months, theres no way thay are selling them for $2. Focalprice do this all the time, get thousands of people to sign up then cancel orders.
