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

Myrddin · 2014-05-22 10:24:27

I still haven't got the codes so I'd say the order won't be fulfilled. Probably best to order somewhere else.

I ordered last night and the confirmation came through but it took a few hours for the email with the codes to come through. Give it a few hours.

Go back and order it as a guest using PayPal. By using your account they know you are in Ireland and cancel the order.
Worked for me that way and I suspect most others that ordered.

I made an account and ordered. My first order got cancelled but that was because PayPal declined the payment because of other potential account activity. I sorted that out and ordered again and had no issues after that.
Check to see if the money has left your account Emmet. If not, you would be better off buying it off Amazon. Much less hassle also.

Money was taken from PayPal, that's why I said it'll probably take 10 days for a refund.

Argos are selling the Elite controller for €124.99 with Halo 5 or Gears 4 for free. Selling Gears separately for €27.99 so if you want that games it's really just costing you €97 which is a great deal. :pac:

Just do it...

I didn't realise they were doing the €10 vouchers at the moment, still need to collect my reserved Elite and Gears. Feck that's another game added to the backlog and my wallet €20 lighter. Feck you!

Elite Controller + Gears 4 + Forza Horizon 3 for just under €145 is a savage deal.

Looks to be the same one, argos might be handier if you need it asap and if you had a 10 off voucher lying around :P

I've a €10 voucher from the A50s last week.

Reserved a new Elite with GOW4 so that'll be €115, get another voucher. Have reserved Forza and Titanfall as well so they'll be €56 using the second voucher :pac:

And I'd done so well not to buy anything earlier in the week

You wont get another voucher as that offer is not running at the moment.
