Was given IW as a guft over the xmas, just IW. Hate it, the mp, havent really played the campaign.

How is MWR? Is it worth the upgrade?

TerrorFirmer · 02-01-2017 3:58pm

I don't like IW multi-player either but the campaign is very good, much better than most of the recent offerings. MWR is quite good too but I find it just doesn't hold the same charm anymore, I love the fact that it's more of a straight up, modern shooter free from lasers, jetpacks, robots, etc but I think having played it to absolute death when it was released, I'm just not as interested in returning to it as I thought I would be.

I picked up the Elite controller with Forza 3 (great deal) and Doom from Argos; I was about to buy the latter for PC but said feck it for €19.

I got Doom on PC rather than Xbox for the max settings and 144Hz at 2560x1440.

Shred · 02-01-2017 8:40pm

Yeah greater scalibility was my thinking alright, but feck it (even though I probably could have gotten it for PC around the same price).

Anyone recommend any Xbox one s deals at the moment looking to pick one up also is it best shelling out for the 1tgb model over a 500gb ?

I got this as a gift for my old man for Xmas.
I had a good look online before Xmas and couldn't find it much cheaper, think it was E24.99 on the MS Ireland store (but can't see it there at all now).
Ended up getting it in Argos.

Hope someone can help you find it cheap.

As a rule of thumb, always put anything you're thinking of buying through pricespy.ie It has yet to steer me wrong

just so people know that this is the older gen and requires the chat cable to the controller

still a great headset though

Yep, nearly got this one myself until I realised it was a Gen 2. The newer Gen 3 that is fully wireless (i.e. does not require a cable connected to the controller to enable chat) was 212 in Argos before xmas. So I got that. Although it has gone back up to 350 now.

Both great buys though, Gen 2 is a super purchase at that price if one didn't care about the chat cable.

COD Ghost for €8.90 on cdkeys http://www.cdkeys.com/xbox-live/games/call-of-duty-ghosts-xbox-one

budhabob · 05-01-2017 2:30pm

Anyone seen a deal for an xbox one harddrive. Have the 500gb version but need to expand. Argos seem to be the cheapest for the seagate 2Tb option.

Edit, nevermind, just copped any portable harddrive will work.

Max Mafioso · 05-01-2017 3:09pm

Make sure its USB 3.0

€21.99 in Argos too. Great prices if you can handle the 'YOU DIED' over and over

Thanks, but its not near me

I don't order from them online anymore either, have done it 3 times and 3 times they messed it up (damaged item/wrong item/screwed up payment)

In the end I got in Argos. Great yoke, really bought it thinking about Blu-rays but its really handy for Netflix too.
Thanks for the help anyway guys.

marcbrophy · 06-01-2017 12:31am

I got mine a few months back and it's been indispensable since,
I'm one of about 4 people in the world who actually use my set top box through the Xbox, so I use it for watching TV, Netflix, 4od etc

This is why I got it for the old man. He's got his Virgin Horizon box running through his Xbox. He was giving out about having to use the controller (no problem playing games with it though ha ha).

It's actually a lovely little remote
