I think you need a UK address/account.

Yep, setup an ebay.co.uk account and sent it to AddressPal and that worked, thanks all!

You didn't need to set up a separate account. You do need a UK address for that Currys deal. The offer is open to Irish residents.

1. This offer is open to users registered on eBay.co.uk and eBay.ie with a UK or Ireland address, who must be UK or Ireland residents of 18 years of age or older. The shipping address must also be a UK or Ireland address.

It didn't work for me with AddressPal with my Irish account, but did with it using the new UK account. Tried with the same credit card on both

I've deleted the last few posts about a dodgy vendor. No point in giving these guys SEO ranking.

I think it was CD Keys I was mixing them up with. Sorry about that.

Mr E

No worries. Keep the bargains coming!

Probably been mentioned but the Mario Party + Joy-con bundle is only €99.99 in Argos ("only" he says). Considering its about €70+ for a pair of Joy-cons its a good price for some family gameplay on Xmas.

Also a deal in Argos for a €10 voucher if you spend €100 or more before Dec 4th.

It is a good deal for me - my son wanted Mario Party for Xmas, and I needed a new set of joy cons (which are closer to 80/90 for a pair in most places) - for 100 I essentially got a new pair for 45, and avoided having to argue with Nintendo over warranty and EU rights.

Damn it, I got Bayonetta 2 as my third choice because I was going to buy Let’s Go Pikachu and Civ 6 at full price elsewhere so it was essentially a free game. If I knew Mario Party was going to be added I would’ve held out.

Could you buy the same three, (changing extra game for mario) and return the first three?

Probably could, but I’m looking at the Mario Party and Joy-Con bundle now and it’s tempting me.

This Ebay 15% off voucher is going to expire in an hour. I feel like I should buy something, anything, it feels like a waste not to use it. The thing is I could have done with it the day before yesterday, but now, there's nothing I really want or need. Unless I buy Christmas presents for the family, it's a bit early for that, for me at least and I'm useless at deciding what to buy.

Quick question - I'm probably going to buy Smash digitally, and SA seems to be the cheapest. In terms of DLC, would I have to also get that from the SA store as well?

There is a bundle with the dlc which might work out a little cheaper if you want the dlc.

Hang on - how can you call a game Smash Ultimate and then have DLC?
Surely at the very least it should be called Smash Penultimate?

By the way, if you take holiday to Russia to buy Guacamelee, then return to the sweet soil of South Africa to purchase Guacamelee 2 with the 30% discount for owning the first one, you end up with both for less than the price of the 2nd in Ireland. And you can buy one of those funny doll nests in the airport for your kris kindle!

Also - Splatoon Splat Balls!

€2 for slime with googly eyes - kids love the slime!

FYI the GHTV service shuts down today (December 1st) reducing the number of songs from 500+ to just the 42 on the disc.

Still a good game though.

Dunno how useful it is, unless it carries over to Dealz. Was in Poundland today and they had Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival bundle for £5. Also a Gioteck NES Mini turbo controller for £5

Not bad for a tenner though, would be good fun at Christmas for that price.

It is good fun, and also a cheap 2nd guitar for PS3 owners, since I think they use the same one

I could be wrong but I thought I heard before that the guitars only work with their specific console version. I'm not sure though, I'd have to look it up.

They are cross platform, but you need to buy the correct wireless receiver/dongle for the console you are connecting to.

Sorry, it's WiiU and PS3 that share a dongle - edited original comment

Suckit

I had a PS4 and got a hold of a Wii U Guitar about 2 years ago for a friends children that were visiting for a few days.
It was painful.
Never realised it had to have a dongle (which by my understanding, cannot be bought anywhere anyway). It lit up, we tried everything, figuring out what the blinking lights meant etc. Everything we read said they were compatible. We hadn't noticed the bit about the dongles. Also apparently they are colour coded for each system, but by the time we realised that I had bought 2 sets of Skylanders to keep them happy
