Anyone had as issues with game.co.uk on here? Looking at those xbox deals and thinking of going parcel.motel but would be interested to hear of any experiences. Cheers.

Don't use Parcel Motel, use Wizard instead as it is an oversize package.

You must have a UK billing address that matches your shipping address. This can be done by changing your address temporarily in the Revolut app or by calling your bank.

Used Parcel Motel for a few orders over the last year, including 2 PS4 Pros and Xbox One X and S , no issues. It will not be oversize as Game UK have their own branded boxes for consoles and they fit perfectly in large PM lockers.

One S deal can be also got with Minecraft, Fortnite and 2 Controllers bundle.

Also worth noting that the X comes with RDR2 Special Edition which sells at £74.99 alone.

Yea saw that alright. There's an option for two controllers and no Forza in the One S bundle as well but with RDR2.

Seems to be a good few different ones available at the minute so no harm looking to see if something suits you better.

If you'd no interest in RDR2 or BLOPs 4 you'd easily get €100+ between the two games so you'd be getting a very cheap console.

So much want for that first deal. Really want RDR and BLOPs4. Special Edition means nothing to me.

But would it be any cheaper on Black Friday...?

It's hard to see it to be honest. Maybe a few pounds or different games included.

Pac1Man

This Gamestop bundle caught my eye.




Is this similar to the PS4 Pro deal a while back? Trade in the console plus two games + €200 and get all of that? As I sit here looking at my noisy four old PS4, that seems too good to turn down at this stage.

Any chance they would accept two copies of Disgaea 5 on the Switch? (don't ask! )

It's two select games. Iirc not having 2 knocks the trade value by €50, costing €250 instead. Not 100% sure with that though.

I don't think they were taking multiples of the same game the last time.

Pac1Man

Ah dammit. I'll give them a call in the morning to see.

fifth

Would go for that but don't have the two select games as I have been buying digitally recently.

I'm seriously considering that deal. Maybe it's time for me to say farewell to my original XB1.

I bought an Xbox about 10 months ago and it's been used as a Netflix box for my bedroom and even I'm tempted by that knowing I wouldn't use it!

Think I have a problem!

Tempted by that offer, have a PS4 that's gathering dust. What's a select game?

Don't know for sure but I imagine it is from this list:

Yup but the misses might not be happy seeing as I have a pro in the sitting room ha

Pulled the trigger on the PUBG/RDR2/BLOPs4 bundle. Too could to turn down. Am just starting a new job so am treating myself to a whopper 4K TV on Black Friday, so have to make the most of it!

What to people here think I could get selling on an original Day One 2013 XB1? Has a controller with a bit of joystick drift I'm trying to fix, ha.

CeX 104 cash. Unless you wanna chance selling it on adverts but who in their right mind would buy one of them now there's such good S deals out.

Atlas_IRL

The game list is on their website https://www.gamestop.ie/%E2%82%AC1-Trade-Offer, that One X deal is a cracker! I done an upgrade with them at launch and it was 300 with trade-in as far as i remember!

I asked this in the RDR thread but perhaps more seasoned One X users might be a better font of knowledge.

I have a One X and RDR2 on the way. I'm currently changing jobs, on gardening leave and not back in work until November 11th at work. I won't have a 4K TV until after Black Friday. Do I:

a) just play the **** out of it on my current TV while I'm off?

or

b) wait for all dat 4K glory but not be able to play as relentlessly?

Just play the game when you get it. It should run better on the One X even without the 4K TV. Added bonus that you will then be able to see dynamic horse testicles twice as clearly when you get the 4K TV

This truly is one of life's most difficult decisions

*As long as you have a decent 1080p TV the One X will downsampled the picture to 1080p for a cleaner image and better performance than the standard Xbox.

Can anyone lend you a 4K TV or possibly rent one for a few weeks.

Their eligible games list definitely seems more strict than previously. Used to be a bunch of €15 games(got bo4 for about €32 through it)...can't see any under €30 now.
