    Seen that on HotUKDeals. I don't consider that a bargain, it's reduced by £2. The same way I don't consider Currys PC World reducing a few games to £37 a bargain either. If ye do, they've also got Link's Awakening, Super Mario Maker 2, MK8D, Pokémon Shield and others.

    about €45/6 for Luigi is a good price considering its a month old. It was £43

    It's €55 in Smyths and Argos and €60 in GameStop. So it's €11.60 cheaper than anywhere in Ireland. That is over 20% cheaper than the cheapest here.

    Gave you played the game? What do you feel it's worth?

    Yep, it's 55 Smyths , 60 GameStop (euro).

    The last great Switch game bargain was the Amazon Germany 5 for 150 euro ... Been a drought since :)

    I'd say next year will be different when the next gen consoles come out.

    But maybe Cyber Monday will have some surprises ...:)

    I'm glad that offer hasn't popped up again. I'd be broke for another week :pac:

    Hi,

    Does anyone know if eglobalcentral.eu are reputable and would there be any warranty issues if going with them? Switch is only 291 with free delivery.

    They're reputable, but all the stock is from Asia so you will have no warranty.

    So what did everyone get in the BF sales?

    I got Unravel 2 ($4.99) and Hyperlight Drifter ($11.99) in the US shop.
    I got City of Brass and OlliOlli Switch Stance for about €4.65 each in the South African store.

    Might get Killer Queen Black too before the price goes up.

    I wanted Dead Cells but it didn't get reduced here (or Russia or SA) :(

    Perhaps avoid Littlewoods if you can

    Saying that though, I got a TV off them about 3 years ago with no issues, but buyer beware it seems.

    Happy enough with that. I still have Zelda to play over Xmas so don't want to build up backlog with big games. The games I bought above are nice pop in/out for short sessions between bouts of Zelda.

    That poster has been sticking that all over Boards.
    He's not a spammer but that many copied and pasted posts he's cutting it fine

    You hopefully should be fine. Like I said I had no problem with them for a full 55" TV, so if I was willing to trust them with something that size then they can't be all bad!

    https://www.cdkeys.com/nintendo/switch/nintendo-switch-online-12-month-365-day-membership-switch-cd-key

    You don't even need to commit to a year. You can buy a 3 months subscription(it's reduced by 50%) which x4 works out the same as an annual subscription.

    I see there are a few download deals on the Nintendo eshop for cyber Monday. Eg Super Mario odyssey for €42.
    I wanted to buy it for my sons unopened santa present but seems I can't buy it until my account is linked.
    Does anyone here know if that deal could be available again in the new year?
    Im looking to get zelda too for myself but Ill have to get a memory card if I go the download route. There are plenty of 100mb/s memory cards on cyber Monday deals though.

    In the end I went for two downloads of Mario odyssey and zelda botw on the Nintendo eshop late last night. Got them slightly cheaper again using eshop €35 cards on g2a.com.
    At least we can't lose the cartridges now!
