Yeah love mine too! Bought the multicolored and was so impressed got the warm white too. If anyone thinks the Argos ones are bad then I got some in Woodies for the same price which were just terrible in comparison.

I have Duracell in mine and very impressed with the brightness.
How does the auto on/off work though?

They switch off 8 hours after you switch them on or change setting, then come back on after 16 hours. I switched mine on at 5pm, they go off at 1am and back on again at 5pm, and on they go.

Anyone know when Argos will be getting the Mini NES back in stock?

It boggles my mind that this would sell out here.

The NES didn't even catch on here, the Master System did (well, in the UK at least, I can't find any Ireland specific data) so it's not even nostalgia.

I hope people aren't confusing it with the SNES.

Is the €10 for €100 spend for every hundred euro over the one hundred mark, or €10 over the €100 mark irrespective?

You get a single E10 voucher once you spend over E100, even if you spend a million euro.

If possible, split the transactions into as many voucher-able transactions

Just in case you didn't realise but The story mode is not the same as regular Minecraft ...it's an episodic type game similar to a drama series

That's the episodic version.
We got the complete story mode during the year- but have had to go back and buy the full version.
Our little guy does love story mode- and its cross-compatible with his Vita- but of late he has abandoned it for the full version.

Ps- I think I have a young psychopath on my hands- he is taking particular glee in killing Santa Claus, taking over his house and terrifying the elves.

All gone in Cork..great deal though.

"Story Mode" is a story based spinoff game set in the Minecraft world. It's good, but it's not the actual Minecraft game itself, no.

Probably. There's something called "Cross Buy" for some games, but from what I can tell Vita > PS4 isn't supported for Minecraft: https://www.reddit.com/r/vita/comments/4bzfd8/minecraft_no_longer_cross_buy/

The PS3 version came with a Vita coupon- the PS4 version can save to your PS account- which you can then access on your PS3 version. I.e. you can't play the game in the way you did on the PS3- but you can access all your saves etc- when you have them backed up. We have a free-standing copy for the Vita anyway (the console came with it)- so we've actually 2 entirely different versions installed on the Vita- versus the two different games on the PS4........

I sound like we buy lots of games- we don't- our little guy is just completely nuts about Minecraft (one of his Christmas presents is a full box of Series 6 blind boxes- a Steve jumper- and the collection of Pampling t-shirts........

Some more De'Longhi machines with great reductions on Argos also.

This was previously on sale at €511. That 'was' price isn't realistic.
