Save your money and track down the older GH drums, much better.

The plastic on the GH drums is poor, especially the jacks for the cymbals/pedal. Mine have gone white and falls apart with the slightest touch.

Worth getting the solus for €10 though. CEX give you €20 cash or €26 trade for RB4 with the legacy adapter.

That's not much of a Bargain considering Microsoft had it on sale for 7.50 last week.

The base game was €7.50. It didn't include Undead Nightmare

Wasn't the undead nightmare and dlc content free as well though?

Max Mafioso

No it wasnt, the DLC was free but you had to buy Undead Nightmare

Not Undead Nightmare. All the MP stuff was free.

Not as bad as the red pad on my RB drums snapping off after only a few weeks of hitting it.

I just noticed that they have new stock in Nutgrove of the €50 Xbox Gift card, why will they get more if not activating and also missproced?

This is 100% a personal opinion:

Strikes me as strange how they were marked down and all of a sudden they are unusable. Can't help but think if they were 50 for 50 there would have been no problem.

Dunno if it's related but PS vouchers were down since last Monday too, something to do with the program used to activate the barcode on the voucher, possibly done on same system for Xbox?

They were back up and running yesterday in Ilac centre anyway.

Has anyone managed to get one of these half price xbox vouchers? Seems too good to be true.

Mine have to be collected today in Galway
(Now showing as out of stock )
They will be Xmas presents so I'm a bit reluctant to buy them if there is a good chance they then won't work in a few months time

you might be able to check by attempting to redeem them yourself - then click 'cancel' when it asks you if you want to proceed.

Drove in
Reservation was cancelled without contact
Got some spiel about them being uk based codes that won't work
Didn't bother arguing as it wasn't his fault

Max Mafioso

I know its not the staffs fault at the stores but arent people covered under the Consumers Rights?
A product is advertised online and available for reservation, you reserve it, get a Reservation number to confirm it then they cancel it without letting you know. Surely thats a breach or am I taking it wrong?
I'm not one to normally read up on Consumer Rights and all that but I am going by what I've heard in my time behind a counter

Nope, its just an invitation to treat. They're under no obligation to sell it to you for that price.

Me to but i just got a text saying your order is being held until 6pm this evening.i presume there's no point in going back in.

If this is a pricing cock-up, which I think it is, I'm surprised they haven't changed the prices yet.
