Cant remember the last time i lagged out of a game or even rubber banded on landing. Spawn in time for me of weapons or vehicles is sometimes delayed and theres no lagginess when in a close battle.

Its a totally different experience now imo

Hola, señorita bonita
€18.66 for 12 months Xbox Live if you use a VPN connected to Argentina.

I used Nord VPN (free trial) on an Android phone and my revolut card (I dont think what card you use matters). For some reason it left payment pending and I couldnt use Xbox Live for 2 hours or so. Its fine now though.

Edit: I dont think it works if you have an active subscription

cdkeys have FIFA 19 available for pre-order at €49.

I have never used them for pre-orders before, does anyone know if they charge straight away or do they, like pre-ordering from amazon, only charge when the game is available?

Charge straight away AFAIK

They do, though if the price goes down before release they will refund the difference if you contact customer services.

It's not a GREAT deal, but I didn't see it here before.

Harvey Norman doing a One X for 499, like everywhere else, but they're throwing in a (digital) copy of Forza 7 and a free controller for that price, so there's a bit of resale there to draw some cash back.. Very little stock in Dublin but I was able to grab one in Carrickmines.

Link to the offer: https://www.harveynorman.ie/gaming/xbox-one/xbox-one-bundles/xbox-one-x-console-1tb.html

Incidentally the staff told me they were out of Forza cards so asked if I'd like one ordered in, or I had the option of picking any game they had in stock. Got LA Noire and Lego Jurassic World as they had a combined in-store value of €70.

When I got home I found the Forza code in the box!

The rocket league one is the same price on the website.

Also best price I've ever seen for 6 months game pass.

Ordered one anyway for the living room. Cost €125 including shipping. Hopefully the order goes through.

That 6 months game pass is a bit dear but since you said it is the best price you seen yet I picked one up. What is it usually for the year? €1,000?

Hococop

Will they honor it? Also is it worth upgrading over the original regardless of the price?

It is worth upgrading. The S is much faster, has HDR, 4K support(native for apps, upscaling for games) and a 4K bluray drive.

Hope you're being sarcastic like I was as I'm sure you know 6 months Game Pass is usually €60.

Trying desperately to figure out why I shouldn't buy this, only traded my One S to go towards my X recently

Why can't they ever misprice a PS4 dammit

Just got dispatch notification, they are honouring it.

Trying to figure out how I can convert this somehow magically into a cheap PS4.

Currently at this stage in planning

That is a serious, serious offer.

I live in Spain. The family house is in Belfast. Currently desperately trying to figure out logistics of how to avail of it.

€100 plus the Xbox in CEX should get you a PS4. Could check GameStop either to see what trade offers they have.

Looked into that option, they give 162 voucher but charge a stupendous 280 for the PS4 :eek:

Interestingly, when I tried ordering it with Parcel Motel's Dublin address, it was cancelled. When I used my home address, it went through. Something to be aware of if you get a 'Cancelled items from your order' Email back

Currys UK don't tolerate PM addresses so maybe it's the same here

Got stuff through PM from Currys UK before, royal pain in the ass. Had to change my address on my revolut and use a vpn before the order would go through.
