    It's strange, the only game version is the season pass edition for 70 quid. I wonder will there be a cheaper base version released or will the season pass be free for a limited time, very weird.

    Sounds normal, the season pass comes free with launch copies atm.

    Never heard of that before, great incentive on launch games.

    Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is a glitchy mess judging by reviews i've watched. You might want to hold off for a few patches maybe.

    Picked this up in Argos today for only €13, it's great for using Netflix etc. Without having to waste the battery in my controller.

    Star Wars Battlefront Ultimate Edition for €15.99 (wish PS+) seems like great value - it comes with all the DLC and maps right?

    Fallout 4 pre owned is a tenner in Smyths, not much stock in places though.

    So on Tuesday morning I tried to send a text from my phone, wouldn't work even though I have free texts and free net with 3.. I had credit remaining also even though I used credit to buy a 20euro PSN so I had like 1euro left.. Then on way home at about 7pm checked my balance to see if using Internet in the North was wasting credit (it wasn't) turns out however 3 must have compensated me 25euro credit or something so I was like happy days used that credit to buy another 20euro PSN code with no issues..


    Then this morning contacted playstation UK again on twitter having been trying to sort out my bonus with them for a week and mentioned it still wasn't in the bumped me up got to live support where they passed on info and few hours later I got my 10euro code via email..

    Now I've 72euro which I built up from 3 credit and pretty much a free ASAP title which I will probably buy Tekken with..

    Just to inform people it's a good idea to join 3 pre pay you pay 20euro a month get unlimited 3 to 3 calls, unlimited texts and unlimited data.. After you top up you can go to buygamecredit and top that account with the credit which will still remain in your account... Then once you have 20.49 in your wallet account there you get a 20 PSN code.. Sometimes the site may have issues but it's been totally worth it for me so much free stuff I'm getting with it and having unlimited data is great for where I live (broadband connection is 5mb and I get 50mb on my hotspot).. I use my phone for hotspot for PS4 as well sometimes it may have issues which is expected I suppose but totally worth it..

    Damn if I hadn't had such bad experiences with 3 I'd be very tempted to swap back to them for this.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,375 ✭✭✭✭kunst nugget


    Can you use your credit like for anything else? Paying bills and the like. A friend has a load of credit on their phone through this 3 deal but they don't game at all.

    Only other thing I know of is the Google Play store, you can spend it there too on apps/movies etc.

    Been using buygamecredit for ages now, it's great!

    Cheers, wouldn't really be of interest to them either unfortunately.

    WarZoneBrother, do you buy 2 x 10 pound gift cards?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,174 ✭✭✭ItsHoggie


    So when you top up by €20 and get your deal/bundle do 3 not take that €20?.

    It does take the 20, it also charges you 49 cent for the transaction. If you regularly ring other networks probably not worth it. I only use messenger to call people so its perfect for me

    I don't know what you mean here... I bought 2 x 20euro PSN Cards using the credit I put into my account (One transaction of 20euro and also had few euro left) so when I text PS PHONE 20 to the correct number from BGC 20.49euro worth of credit was removed...

    Then a few days later 3 compensated me so I was able to purchase another 20euro PSN using 20.49euro that was in my card...

    Basically you top up by 20euro a month, that credit is not removed from your account it still remains... So then you can use BGC to transfer your credit to wallet there... Then from there you can buy PSN Codes etc... It also has Xbox Codes and Full Games but the full games are only xbox and are a rip off...

    The terms have changed slightly so now the free stuff lasts only 28 days compared to previously lasting 31 days I think they also removed weekend calls but neither of that bothers me.. When I signed up and bought my new phone I also managed to get some bonus credit for switching and was able to use that to buy PSN Codes too, so basically I have spent less money on credit than I have redeemed PSN Codes from BGC... :p

    So lets say I have paid maybe 100euro in Credit whereas out of that (because of the bonus I have been getting) I probably got to buy like 160euro worth of PSN Codes

    Sorry, I went to UK version of that website you mentioned and only saw 5 and 10 pound PSN cards. Thanks again for the heads up, rarely spend any of my credit and with a long list of old titles I want of pick up, this should come in handy every month.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,684 ✭✭✭sniper_samurai


    Got a 30% off Mass Effect Andromeda coupon for psn if anyone is interested.
    Edit: Gone


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,859 ✭✭✭superflyninja


    I just received a 30% Mass Effect Andromeda coupon for psn in the mail also if anyone wants it. I took the plunge today.

    Yeah I think not enough people know about this.. A stickied thread regarding credit left over or something towards that lines I feel would be beneficial to us all.. Not sure what other people would think about that but a Buygamecredit post on both xbox on playstation forums would clearly make a lot of people happy... It also works with Vodafone network

    Why were you entitled to a 10 euro code?

    Somebody posted a tweet before where someone asked the PlayStation Support page about that and they said once the credit is in your account it won't be taken. But you never know tbh.
