It's not even that good a deal, a pro is only €400, my PS4 was €250 (Speical Edition) and add €100, that's €350... WOW.

Not a good deal if you recently got a PS4, but if you got one recently and wanted a Pro you'd have just bought a Pro anyway.

A second hand PS4 500GB is usually only worth about €150 in GameStop(trade) and CEX(cash). Add that to a copy of Fifa 17(€5 CEX) and Dragon Age Inquisition(€8 CEX) it boosts the trade value to €300,what a brand new 500gb PS4 normally costs.

Just got my console now. Bear with staff as the offer has not been updated on their system yet and they need to enter it in manually, very messy atm.

As is every transaction with GS, I find. The most uninformed organisation I've come across in a long time.

They have a code, but its still for the old offer where you trade in 2 games off the €20 list

No Man's Sky is €10 in Smyths with stock in a few stores.

Huge update for it coming out on the 24th of this month which adds the stuff it promised when it was first released (Multiplayer, space battles, etc.). Can't fault their effort in not giving up on a game that was a complete car crash when it first came out.

none in Tralee sadly...Wouldn't be worth it for me to go all the way to smyths in kinsale rd or waterford just to pick it up for a tenner petrol wise. Good price though for locals

Just for the lazy folks like me:

Either:
http://www.argos.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10152&catalogId=14551&langId=111&searchTerms=PS4+HITS&authToken=

or: search for "PS4 Hits" on the search box.

Big ordeal in Dun Laoighre Argos when I went to actually buy the games I’d reserved - Infamous Second Son was the second game I picked but I was only really after the last of us as I haven’t played it yet.

After some going back and forth between the Computer checkout & office phone, they couldn’t tell me what the issue was just that it had a “do not sell” on second son on their system, so missed out on the offer - could’ve picked another title in the range but was a bit irritated by the whole rigamaroll, was very unimpressed with how it was handled, she didn’t seem to know about the offer.

Blanchy90 · 18-07-2018 9:47pm

Do I just need the ps4, controller and power cable for the trade in? Obviously the 2 games too

Bring the controller charger and HDMI too. Gamestop wouldn't accept a 3ds trade in for me because it didn't have a charger. Even though it DOESNT COME WITH ONE.

They are the worst.

Yup, need a micro usb and hdmi too.

They did that with me in GS wrt 3ds trading, went around to CEX as they were offering more cash than GS were in trade and didn't require a charger.

GS were so obnoxious about it as well. It's as if they are trained to be miserable and rude.

EoinHef · 19-07-2018 8:31pm

Ive never really wanted a pro but that deal seems ok. New warranty be nice as much as a new console.

I might see if they will take Battlefield 1 and Bloodborne as the two games.

They will, any 2 games with a trade value are accepted.
The trade value for the copy of Fifa 17 I traded in was less than €1.

Doodah7 · 19-07-2018 10:52pm

Can I just ask so as to be clear, to avail of the Gamestop Pro offer for €99 I need to bring the following:

A wiped, reset Ps4;
A single controller;
A hdmi cable;
A USB cable for the controller;
2 eligible games to trade in e.g. FIFA17 and Adventure Time.

Is that it?

To be pedantic you also need the power cable, but yeah that is all that is required.

Blanchy90 · 20-07-2018 8:36am

I didnt wipe my xbox last year when I did the trade and they said it was better that way because it was quicker to test and then they wiped it

Zero-Cool · 20-07-2018 9:14am

The Crew 2 is already down to 36 in Argos and 35 in Smyths. That was fast.

Yeah kind of disappointed in it. Haven't played it in over a week.

Me too. Once you do all there is, there's nothing else. No multiplayer has killed it for me. Trying to sell it on adverts and now the price is crashing. Great.

I bought the gold edition from the Canadian store completely forgetting that Ubisoft sometimes lock season passes to the account that purchased it. Missed out on the preorder content and season pass exclusive cars but couldn't be bothered either way. They wouldn't have made much difference just less grinding for money for some race types.

That's one thing to be careful when buying ubisoft games on the US or Canadian stores, half the time the season pass content is unable to be shared with other users on the console.

Tempted to upgrade to the PS4 Pro for €100.

How fussy are Gamestop with controllers? Ive swapped the thumbsticks on my launch controller and gave it a good clean. Works and looks ok but I completely removed the label on the back as itd went all gooey and was completely faded. Reckon id be alright?

Also reckon FIFA 16 would be accepted? I know 17 is. Have that, need another cheap game.

Not sure about the controller, as long as it looks stock it would probably be acceptable.

Fifa 16 won't be accepted. If you think a game won't be accepted check the website to see if it displays a "recycled" version for purchase.

Doodah7 · 20-07-2018 4:25pm

FIFA 17 has a trade-in value of 10c apparently!! So I guess that makes FIFA 16 worthless.

Yeah they're still trying to shift new copies for €2.49 online sure!

I'll pick up something else in cex to cover it.

Cheapest accepted game in abundant supply in CEX that I could find other than FIFA17 was Dragon Age Inquisition for €8.

And if it does your good?

Bout to head up to blanchardstown store,just reinstalling the system OS onto the original 500gb HDD

listermint · 20-07-2018 4:54pm

Is there a list of trade in games for the Pro Offer ? where do i find it ?

SeanHarty · 20-07-2018 5:11pm

Destiny 1 has a trade in value of 50c
The division has a trade in value if €2.50.

Was on to game stop in the square tallaght you can get the limited edition god of war pro bundle with another game when you trade in a ps4 with two games and €180.

She said they are also going to have a similar deal on the superman one coming out.

Lady in the phone was very helpful.

Exclamation Marc · 20-07-2018 5:52pm

Any chance of a separate thread for the GameStop deal?
