Xbox Bargain Alerts (Games/Hardware/Accessories) MOD Note post #1

Myrddin · 2014-05-22 10:24:27

So we don't seem to have a thread to advise others of discounted/on sale/bargain price games & hardware...we do now though :) This thread can cover both physical AND digital game bargains, consoles & accessories but obviously isn't to be confused with our Weekly XBLA Game Deals thread, nor our Games with Gold thread.

Gamestop only seem to offer their own giftcards

CDKeys show the Euro gift cards as being "out of stock"

I purchased some gift cards for the Playstation Network yesterday in Gamestop (Naas) so they should have Xbox Live cards. They don't seem to advertise the fact, though!

You are right - that one is OK. Thsi is just a stocking filler so was looking for €10 which is out of stock.

Not leaving the house today so have to do it online

Worst case he gets an IOU, & I'll switch on my paypal for him when he wants to purchase

Says a lot about CD Project Red and quality of their content and non fleecing of customers when you think the usual asking price for the DLC is a sale price!!!!!

Most companies would charge 14.99 if not more for something like hearts of stone.

It was normally 25.

Edit: although agree with you about the quality of CD projekt red. Probably would have paid twice the full price for the full game.

Posted this in BA too but I though I should probably post it here too. I have a new xbox one controller (one with a headphone jack) reserved in Argos Nutgrove if anyone wants it. It's reserved at €49 (the price is 56 now but Argos generally honour these reservation prices) so it's not really a bargain I know but if someone is looking for one as a present it might come in handy.

Seems like he is destined for an XBOX IOU

Not exactly a bargin, but Amazon have a Samsung 4tb portable HDD for £130.

Pretty handy for storage and the only 4 tb external hdd I've seen that doesn't require an external power source.

Bought the xbox live, the code didn't work for me.

Edit: When I say the code didn't work, I meant the XMASMMOGA code, not the xbox live code.

Well whenever I'm getting a refund I've to send back the item, sounds like your stealing from them.

Depends on if it is marked as a return or if it ends up being flagged as lost stock, of which is happening quite often now due to shipping with substandard carriers like Ascendia.

Not quite stealing, but not far off either.

Had to do that with Telltale, had a missing parcel which they resent and arrived quickly. The original parcel actually did turn up 4 months later:pac:
