Hi lads,

I'm on holidays in India and I am trying to buy battlefield 1 with Revolut but I get a message:

"Try a different way to pay or change your store region. The region where your payment method was issued and your store region need to match."

Does Revolut not work in India? I also stopped over in Hong Kong and Singapore on the way here and no luck at both.

Any help would be appreciated!

Only store credit works now when you're on holiday.

Lego dimensions starter pack down to 39.99 for Xbox one in Smyths.

It was the same price in Argos last week but seemed to be sold out everywhere.

Good time to pick it up for a Christmas present.

If you can wait a month there could be a good deal on Amazon during the Black Friday sales

Seagate 2tb hdd on Amazon for £62.99. Needs to be parcel motelled though as Amazon won't ship it here for some reason.

Max Mafioso · 24-10-2016 1:53pm

They also have the 4TB version for £119.99 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01BV13S7S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_gMEcybZJYSHNV

EagererBeaver · 24-10-2016 2:18pm

Will be getting it posted to house in Belfast. I really have no need for anything more than 2TB but for some reason I'm trying to convince myself I need the 4TB one...

Cheers for recommendations lads.

Would there be any reason, apart from Xbox design to buy that one ahead of this?

Max Mafioso · 24-10-2016 2:37pm

Dont think so, i would go for the one you posted as it costs less and I am a cheapskate.

Is anyone still waiting to get their copy of Gears from Amazon?

See further up for talk about Asendia , I'd be looking for a refund and taking myself to argos for a copy. Check the estimated delivery date on amazon, theres a very good chance it's been changed to one further out without them notifying you. Had that happen on a few orders before I stopped buying from amazon because of them using Asendia.

Have a keyboard on order and just noticed the carrier is Ascendia :-/

I got onto amazon. Said it Will be delivered in 24hrs.(very suspect for it arrive tomorrow)
Might be worth getting onto them.

24-10-2016 7:43pm

If Ascendia have it be sure to check around the side of your house, in the bins left out for collection, in any bushes or trees in your garden and in any large puddles of water located around your home. Have head nothing but problems with them delivering items and found a package crushed at the side of our house, it appears that the delivery man stood on on package so that he could lower anther over the gate. Though by lower, I mean throw it over.

SMC92Ian · 25-10-2016 10:33am

I used Amazon recently and they used them, awful awfully slow, won't be using them again!

That's not Amazon it's Asendia the courier. I had one package shipped by them that took one month to get to me. I complained to Amazon and have never had anything shipped by them since.

Ordered stuff last Wednesday with free delivery, it shipped Sunday and was delivered yesterday so I can't complain about that.

gmg678 · 25-10-2016 11:13am

still don't know if my Package arrived today. will have to wait till I get home from work.
I think looking for a refund might need to be done if it is not there

TrustedApple · 25-10-2016 11:27am

I contact amazon last night about it myself. Where is my gears of war 4.

They ended up giving me 11 pound back. They are also sending me a new copy with UPS that has a tracking number so i will have it tomorrow over 2 weeks late ha ha.

TitianGerm · 25-10-2016 9:03pm

Just spotted this on HUKD.

£337 for a One S and 7 games.

Use the code TDXR-PKMX for £30 off.

Just to update:

Overwatch out of stock so that's a no go. I've added 500GB Fifa Bundle, Halo 5, Forza Horizon 3, GOW4, Mafia 3, and GTA V for £317. I didn't go as far as adding the discount code because I couldn't remember my password.

Just a word of caution;

friend recently got a bundle like this off tesco, and all the items were sent separately so it was like €4 (parcel motel charge) for each item. Doesnt seem like much, but if they all come separately in this order, you could be looking at like a €30 extra on top of the price for parcel motel.

EDIT: Also tesco charges another £3 twice (one for console, one for games) for delivery to parcel motel location it seems
