    Going to give a shot in the crescent in Limerick in the morning once I delete profiles and games tonight.

    Will leave 1 digital game on, but will that work with any profile or does the one I bought it with still need to be on it

    If the other profile also owns the game, then it'll work.
    If not, then it won't :)

    Got mine in the Parkway after lunch, paid 60.99 for it but FIFA was only available digitally so will have to sell it on adverts. I handed it in about 12.30 to be tested and got a phone call at half one saying I was all good to go. It was the Forza Hot Wheels edition that I picked up along with Ronaldo edition of FIFA and the t-shirt, mad deal altogether!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,521 ✭✭✭joe123


    One more quick question, the copy of FIFA and (potentially Forza), are they digital or physical copies?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,923 ✭✭✭Reati


    Doubt it, new stock of hardware is pretty much constant.

    They plan stock for this kinda stuff - they will have plenty around on Friday. I can wait, not paying extra for a game i don't want :P

    Yeah. I think so too, but some stores seem to be out of the disk and are offering download codes instead.

    I got the disk for FIFA. Fully sealed too it's €90 to buy that Ronaldo edition. I think forza is a code inside the console box. Ive not had a chance to look yet.

    When they scanned my loyalty card it discounted it by 9 euro. So i picked up gears of war ultimate edition for 9.99


  • Registered Users Posts: 144 ✭✭ADarkKnight88


    Got the deal today in the Crescent in Limerick. Didn't have it pre-ordered and the fifa game came as a digital download.


  • Registered Users Posts: 277 ✭✭Mikey23


    Physical edition of FIFA in Galway. The full bingo inc shirt and Forza/Hot Wheels code.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,553 ✭✭✭✭Copper_pipe


    When I collected my Xbox last night the guy in GameStop mentioned this offer. If you trade in any 6 games you get a 20% discount on your next pre order (could be 20 Euro too I forget!)

    For the next month they’ll take Xbox 360 and ps3 as well as PS4 and XB1. But after that it’s just XB1 and PS4 games they’ll accept. Can be any games he said.

    There’s a card with 6 stamps to be collected on it. Someone here may know the full story!


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,423 ✭✭✭✭Akrasia


    Cool. I'll take a trip into gamestop tomorrow

    Transfer all the HDD games to my portable hard drive tonight

    The new controller by itself will be handy because the Xbox one s controller works with windows via bluetooth

    There was a big thread on Reddit on this a couple of weeks ago. Basically guys were buying the cheapest games they could find with the highest trade in value. By trading 6 they got a 20% increase in the trade in values. A few guys managed to earn $450+ by doing this and basically paid off their One X preorder.

    How much you get for Fifa?

    52.50 including the bump from the loyalty card


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 9,946 ✭✭✭mik_da_man


    Odd - I don't think I got anything from the loyalty card.
    Must check it...

    Got €9 off from my loyalty card. So whole bundle with Ronaldo edition cost me €61. Think I'll hang onto Fifa. They're only giving a flat trade in value for both standard and Ronaldo edition. I think Ronaldo edition at €90 should be given a better trade in value, I'd rather keep it.

    The ronaldo edition is just free FUT packs, and some skins as well as the 3 days early access. It'll be worth the same as standard after tonight.

    Yeah but they'll sell it to you for €90 but when it comes to trading it back, ah sure it's not worth anything extra all you get is a few extras :) It's a game I'll play anyways. Way I see it I just got fifa and FH3 for €61 and a free trade in for xbox one S :D

    It's supposed to run until Friday I think, or possibly until stocks last.

    No it's only fully starting on Friday..... :D

    The normal version of Fifa is out on Friday. Forget about the Ronaldo one as it's just adding confusion. Ad says valid until 10/10.
