Did anybody with a level 3 gamestop+ card going for this trade in deal for a controller chance asking for the free 3 month xbox live when buying a controller, it is part of the november offers?

Seems a bit odd to me. What's to stop you just buying crap like old FIFA or Battleborn for a couple of euro? There must be something in it for Gamestop?

This is the third deal in as many months so apart from the occasional member of staff not being clued in it's surely getting them some good press.

That and they're selling stuff to people who don't really need it. Technically good business... If they're making any profit. :pac:

I'm sure you'll get people not arsed going to cex and buying two games in Gamestop and trading then straight back.

Microsoft appear to be some sort of scrappage scheme with then which will boost sales of the newer consoles.


Either way some serious cooking the books!

You should get onto customer devices via twitter or Facebook
Mention the store location, the name of the person and what the person said to you about the offer

Anyone who got the controller is it just the white one?

A buddy got the military green one and a shadow red one on Cork store with two games from CEX that he paid 6. 50 for.

Yet again, no consistency with the gamestop offers or with the staff knowing what the Terms and Conditions are.

This is the One S trade in deal all over again with the different shops being all over the place on the details.

In other news there's some decent Xbox One S bundles on amazon for £199.99.

Works out at about €225 if you use revolut.

Has anyone seen if SuperValu are doing Battlefront II on the cheap?

The funny thing is I went to the same shop that I got the One S deal in and that time the same guys couldn't have been more helpful

Some of those X Box S bundles look insane. Two new games and the console, fupping hell!!!! Even as a Sony fanboy, I'm tempted. I've always resisted on the basis I'd just have to give up on real life.

I bought the console deal from gamestop recently.

Came with:
Xbox 1 S 1TB Console
Extra Controller
Assassins Creed Origins
Rainbow Six Seige
Forza 7
COD:WWI

Have to say I'm pretty happy with it.

PlayStation is more user friendly in terms for the Main HUD but its a pretty decent machine all the same, defiantly worth it.

I think pricing is getting to a stage where having a second console is easily affordable.

You'll have a 4K Blueray player as well in the S if that's something you didn't consider in your decision.

WarpAsylum

Yep, especially when you can get a base model of each for around the same price as a premium version give or take 100 quid

overwatch is 31.99 in argos if anyone on the lookout

Went in to Kilkenny said the deal was over but got them to scan there barcode and sorted...worked...destiny is also another that is accepted...managed to pick up pig and green minecraft and the gears of war controllers.

Blanchy90

I've been talking to gamestop on fb and they have said the only condition is that the games have a trade in value.

I've asked for a list of eligible games so I'll update when they get back to me.



If anyone wants to sell on a controller they got for €20 let me know I was hoping to get a coloured controlled but its not looking likely with my local shops

Gamestop have come back to me and said there is no list of games that have a trade in value so they said just ring the shop and they can tell you the value of the games.

amadablam

To clear up any confusion;

I just went in and the guy told me that as long as they have any value when scanned, you can trade them until the 26th. This is the store manager.

His own words "crazy deal"

I took the minecraft creeper one and another for 10 each.
