    They've done up their website. Nice.

    I don't think those codes work here in Ireland.

    Yeah. I'm having trouble using the code I was given. Whether through a VPN service or changing my region.

    did you get a microsoft 5x5 code? as in a 25 character code that you redeem off of microsoft?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,847 ✭✭✭Julez


    Codes need to be used to Purchase 3 month Game Pass on PC through amazon I believe.

    You were right, wired.


    Although I would argue that wired peripherals are always superior. Less letency, despite the 1ms in ideal conditions claim that Logitech make. Does the wireless one have some extra features or something?

    I switched from the wired to wireless G502 about 3 months ago and find the wireless far better. No noticable difference in response time that I can see.

    Seems to be correct. So list mentioned before wasn't legit.

    Not sure how to link it, but for Today only 'Trials Rising' is free through uPlay, under 'Ubisoft's Happy Holidays' tab.

    Ubisoft have a big Winter Sale on, includes AC:Valhalla and Immortals:FR.

    https://store.ubi.com/eu/home?lang=en-SK

    Also you can use the promo "welcome2021" to cut 21% off the final price, and this stacks ontop of the current discounts. Still cant find out if its a one use code though (probably is).

    Alien Isolation free on Epic today, but site/app seems to be having server load issues at the final purchase stage

    Makes Morpork's list above look accurate so far though

    (purchase going through OK now)

    I didn't know it existed at all until lmimmfn said it. I just bought some cheap DLC with it there to make sure it worked, and it does. I still have €90 credit left, so with the €10 vouchers and the sale, I should be able to pick up a good few top games!

    yes exactly, its a payment option when checking out, i used the 10euro voucher and 15 euro or so 3 credit to pickup Star Wars Squadrons, so basically for nothing as i normally dont use 3 credit for anything.

    I seemed to have 2 10euro coupons so must find something else to get lol

    Their coupons are mad. You get a new one every time you use the old one. So with my unused phone credit, the coupons, and the sale prices, I've just bought a dozen or so AA or AAA games from the last year or two. Mad Ted!

    Edit: All without spending a cent from my bank balance today (obviously I paid for the phone credit previously).

    Tropico 5 free on Epic today.

    If it's the one I'm thinking of it's got a pretty good overall storyline.

    Can confirm. Just buying Airborne Kingdom and it's showing up as an option.

    (Annoyingly I never knew this when I was with Three and they were idiots when I was porting out so I'm not going back.)

    Inside was yesterday's freebie, still on for an hour os so until 4pm.

    After that should be Darkest Dungeon according to Morpork's list, but only DD2 appears to be in the store. Though maybe they take games down before they put them on free, to avoid people buying them and then complaining that they're free a coupe of hours later?

    My Time At Portia free on Epic today


    I'd edited my post yesterday to post links and prices for some of the games that work out at 5 or 6 euro if you use the 10 euro Epic voucher, but boards ate it.
    I'm not looking up all the links again but these all end up under 7 quid:
    Airborne Kingdom
    Rogue Legacy 2 (early access)
    Super Meat Boy Forever
    Pillars of Eternity - Definitive edition
    Going Under (roguelike in an office environment)
    Surgeon Simulator 2
    Anno 2205

    (Anything 15 or over is a tenner off with voucher and gives you a new voucher)

    Jurassic World Evolution free on Epic until Thursday

    Epic sale ends then too. If anyone is looking for something to use up vouchers on (which is obviously impossible since you get a new one each time), I've eventually worked out the best way to find applicable games.

    - Click "More" on one of the categories on the main page, so you get a bigger list with the search filters
    - Filter for 14.99 or above, then sort by Price - Low to High
    - I've only just realised the coupon is valid on 14.99 and up, not 15. So Dead Cells, Journey to the Savage Planet, Civ 6, Superhot, South Park Fractured, among others, are all only EUR 4.99 with voucher
    - You might want to add the filter for "Holiday" sale to get games already discounted
