The site is reliable, I've used it plenty of times. Don't think they have any points left though, just gift cards in euro and the savings aren't as good. The only saving that's really worth it is the €50 card for €40

Try ElectronicFirst as well. I've used them numerous times for Live Subscriptions and a few times for points. They might have some left -

Cool thanks. Looking for a new live membership and a €50 for my account. Do they take PayPal ?

They don't, probably because of the excessive charges. I signed up for Skrill to use that site, did my homework on it first and didn't find any problems, nor have I had any since then.

Hmm. That seems to show discounts of €25 based on the fact that the game would normally be €87 and I don't think even Microsoft have the cajones to charge €87 in the xbox store for games.

Yeah, that has to be a mistake surely? Ridiculous prices, the "discounted" price is dearer than most places as it is.

Really? €51.25 for Fifa and Madden, is that more expensive than most places? A quick look around shows both of those to be a good price (Fifa is a little cheaper on Amazon) they're both significantly cheaper than gamestop. MGS at €44 looks a good price as well.

Cheap enough site just order one at a time to avoid customs, it's marked as a DVD value of $20 so no duty

Random scenario / question: I tried to snap Netflix yesterday while playing FIFA in the main screen. I thought it'd be difficult enough to play FIFA while listening to Netflix, but bearable. It turned out to be sensory overload - the sound was playing from both at the same time.

Is there any way to configure the Xbox to only play audio from one App / Game at a time?
(First world problem, I know).

No way around it as said but there is a 1st world solution to your 1st would problem, If you have a smart TV with a netflix app PIP (Picture in Picture) that sucker and set sound source to sub screen :pac:

I was/am looking to buy NBA2K14 on the 360, and noticed it's only €33.89 (€39 delivered) on the Xbox One - HERE
Wasn't sure where to put this. It may even be cheaper if there's something else you want available there.

Played the demo, now I'm hooked . Brilliant game!

Im just going to give you a little warning, the internet needs to be connected all the time for this game.
You will forget about time alot and realise youve been playing for 7 hours and have to go to work an hour later at 8 in the morning

Harvey Norman.

Picked out the printer that was to be purchased before we entered the store..

Played it on the the console, presumed it was the demo.. Played for ages, then bought the aio scanner/printer...

We played it for ages. I ended up going halves on it for €23 each.

So I've just been playing Fifa and Battlefield on my Xb1 up to now, I'm now considering buying another game, just wondering weather Dead Rising is worth the money?

Thanks.

I have dead rising and it's so much fun. Way better than the first 2. I just need 2 blueprints and I have everything unlocked. Then to nightmare mode to get the mega man blaster

Yes very much so. How can an semi open world with 10's of thousands of zombies to mow down with crazy cars and home made weapons not be fun????

It's by no means game of the year or imo even as good as the previous games but still a fun time all the same.

If I was you I would download the demo and give it a try
I was going to buy it but then I played the demo, I just didn't like it at all if I'm honest

then again I never really liked the previous games either

Assassin's Creed Black Flag, all the way. The best in the series.

Just watched an ali-a video on YouTube he mentioned a link to www.g2a.com for game codes. I've had a look and they have fifa 14 for €31.90 and a 12 month subscription for €32.99 !! Seems very cheap to be honest. Also saw a 3 month subscription for 12.49. Also a lot of download codes for 360 games going cheap.

TitianGerm

Just an update on my above post. I ordered fifa off the website and got the code emailed to me 10 minutes later. Happy out and just waiting for it to download mow

Cheap? you mean going for absolute buttons, Arkham City is going for 8.99 :eek:

Am I missing something? If you click on modern warfare 3 for 9.99, it doesnt say you're getting a download code, but rather 1200 Microsoft points to spend on it., sure that game is still 70 euro on the marketplace.

Edit: I was looking at map packs, doh.
