Ordered one on the 1st of December fifa bundle no contact from they yet.

Sure there prices are expensive but they give a good price to the people they're buying from. For Example they were giving €575 cash for the Xbox One up until last week. It's €500 cash now.

I've never bought from CEX, their prices are a bit too high - but they have definitely been the best by far, for me anyway, when trading stuff in. Give much more in cash than others do in store credit usually.

A lot of unopened Xbox ones are showing up on adverts now for cost price and some with games. It looks like people are getting them more easily now since Argos have been listing Ones every night last week. So I'm guessing that the scalpers are not doing so well.

I find this pretty scummy though. He is looking to sell an argos reservation code for an xboxone+fifa for 50 euro!!. Something that anyone can get by simply using the argos stock checker around 9.30pm most nights. I really hope no one offers this person anything for it.

FIFA comes as a digital download code which you redeem and is 8gb to download.

Very sound of you. I am still gobsmacked by those trying to sell reservation codes especially the guy who has the advert title 'xbox one brand new and waiting to be collected' 50 euro. Very deceptive. I know people are not forced to buy and those that engage in such activities are just trying to make a quick buck but they add no value what so ever, and simply deprive genuine customers who may have picked that console up otherwise. That's why I do not agree with adverts decision to let these ad's run. It's just an exercise in greed.

At least it seems to be levelling out a bit on the xbox one console ad's now and there are plenty up for sale at only 50 euro over rrp. There are still a couple of tools who think they will get 800 to 1k for a day one Xbox one though. I really really hope they will get caught out especially the tubes who bought multiples.

Hi folks,

first time poster but just want to say thanks for all the great info here. Got myself and my eldest son a Fifa bundle in Argos cork this morning after checking stock around 930 last night.

I tried for one in Argos, Tallaght last night but the sheer weight of traffic was making the site crash and the four that they had were gone in a minute. Does anyone have a code for Argos St. Stephen's Green by any chance!!!!!

Yup, PM you now.

Just had a request to try help find a console for a 10 year old for Christmas, probably have a slim chance but if anyone has any help they can give it would be great. Travel shouldn't be an issue I don't think.

I have one for €550 on adverts but willing to take face price if anyone here is stuck.

was passing gamestop in mallow last night and there was a sign in the window saying they had limited stock of xbox one available. their number is 02253455

Seems to be a reasonable amount of stock in Argos today

6 in Cork, 7 in Limerick, 5+ in Omni in Dublin

Jesus, some lad looking €120 for a bloody day one controller

These will be worth hundreds in a few years as you can't buy them and there's a limited amount
