Have some gift cards burning a hole in my wallet the last while, I'm about to cave and buy a One S having never owned an Xbox One or 360.

Is there an expected price fall any time soon? After E3 maybe? I know it went down last year. €200 would really be the sweat point so I wouldn't have to add much extra in cash.

500gb Xbox one S rocket league bundle in Tesco Dundrum for €202.something.

Far Cry 5 Gold Edition is currently €59.99 in Smyths.

Just bought Dark Souls Remastered for 28 sterling on amazon.

Will probably be much cheaper soon but I need to have all Dark Souls titles ASAP!

Amazon still haven't dispatched my order they're gone very bad.

If you select free postage you get screwed.

I never order games on Amazon if I want them for launch. Can you cancel your order and buy in GameStop, Argos or Smyth's?

Flash deal on the One X until midnight, £449.99 with Overwatch, PUBG, FIFA 18, Quantum Break, Assassins Creed Origins and a second controller.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Controller-Overwatch-Quantum-Assassins-Origins/dp/B07D98MMRT/

Will need to use Parcel Motel/Wizard as they won't ship it outside the UK.

ME Andromeda is also €5, click and collect only though.

South Park TSoT and MG Survive are both €10.

Apparently Microsoft are reducing the price of the X during E3 in the US but I'm sure it'll be done here as well. Not sure if it'll be a permanent price drop though.

Pity it's out of stock

Following some steps from HUKD, you should be able to pick up €50 Xbox credit for €40, €100 for €80 etc. today. It should work on the .ie site too afaik

Amazon have 6 Months of Game Pass for €27

skerry · 07-06-2018 12:23pm

Amazon also have 3 months Live Sub which comes with another 3 months free and also a 1 month Game Pass sub for £14.99. If you do the auto renew thing on the first code you'll get another month free if your eligible.

Do the codes stack with an existing XBL Gold Sub? Very cheap 12 months if they do

I think you can stack up to 36 months but might be corrected on that good sir

Anyone know can you share game pass with other accounts, same as live subs?

You can indeed.

maximoose · 07-06-2018 1:27pm

Yep it works more or less the same

Just one difference - the games will only show up on the sharer's 'Ready to Install' list if the account with gamepass has downloaded them first

Quick question on the amazon deal for the Xbox Live sub I posted chaps. Is there any issue with redeeming Xbox Live codes bought from Amazon UK on an Irish account?

I just redeemed two there on an Irish account, worked fine. Thanks for the share

I haven't bought an Xbox 360 game for a while, but I'm in the mood for some boxing and hadn't realised Fight Night Champion was backwards compatible.

The Xbox One games are showing the discount, but I'm seeing nothing for the 360 games. Is it too soon?

Asus X540L · 07-06-2018 6:12pm

Evil within two is a fiver in Smyth's but oos in cork City

Was about to agree with you, but then one of the prices I looked at was a bit weird. Seems like they screwed up the sale, and rather then putting the games on "sale", they just reduced the "normal" price to the sale price.

For example:

Fight Night Champion must usually be 20, and now it's 10 after a 50% discount
Burnout Revenge must usually be 10, and now it's 7 after a 30% discount
Homefront must usually be 10, and is now it's 2 after an 80% discount

Just had a look around for price histories, I'm right. You can see the history of Fight Night Champion here.

That makes sense! It's weird because things look as expected with the earlier "normal week" sale stuff eg GTA San Andreas has an obvious markdown.(I'll end up buying that too!)

amadablam · 08-06-2018 1:07pm

Anyone bought the Shadow of War season pass? Its showing two versions for me and one if 39.99 and one is 'Story' expansion pass' at 19.99?

Mickeroo · 08-06-2018 1:09pm

Maybe one includes extra stuff for the shadow war online thing and the other is purely just the story add ons?

I'm just guessing though.

Stone Deaf 4evr · 08-06-2018 1:24pm

I thought the microtransactions were getting patched out of the game this month? Either way if you scroll down in the product description, you'll see what's included

Asus X540L · 11-06-2018 8:56am

Lol all these great Smyth's bargains seen sold out everywhere except Clairemorris or Sligo
