Fyi you can only redeem 1 per account per 12 month period for this offer.

It is available in Smyths for €70, which makes it cheaper to get 2 6 month subs on Xbox Live atm.

gamestop have the turtle beach stealth 600 and 700 series for 60 euros and 99 euros respectively.

These are fully wireless items.

Please avoid the Stealth 600 & 700. Exceptionally poor build quality and a lot of interference that causes voice chat issues.

They have a nice feature set but that's it.

Went onto cd keys there to see if they’ve Xbox live reduced and I see they’re down.

Anyone know if there’s much value there?

Argos have the Elite controller in black or white for 130 and you can get Forza Horizon 4 for an extra €6 , Cex give you €31 cash for Forza or Gamestop give you €32 cash or €40 credit for it so total price is €105 (give or take) for the controller which is as fairly good ,Argos are great for returns as well so any issues and they'll just give you a new one.

Do CEx always give the same amount as there website or is it store specific?

Same as website but pending inspection of the item as the price shown is the max but usually what you will get if your item is mint.

They seem to be out of FORZA though or maybe you can only add in store?

Came in here to ask if the Amazon deal was worth it (12 months for £38), but the above one is obviously better. CDKeys is blocked in my job though, is there any indication of how long the deal is for? Will it last until this evening?

£70 for controller and BF5, might come out a bit cheaper after selling the game.

As far as I can tell, they took it down due to overwhelming levels of use today. It's been mentioned on a few UK groups

It hasn't worked in a while.

There was definitely a 3% code active this morning, I used one to get discount on PS wallet top up. Doesn't seem to work now though

I don't think those elites are great. I rarely use mine. I hate the rubber all over the controller I much prefer the plastic of the standard.

Bought 2 controllers and 2 forzas from Argos.
All for €124
Traded in 2 forzas for 62€ in CEx.
Gonna trade in 2 of my other controllers for hopefully around €54.
So 2 "upgraded" controllers for a total of €8

Would an elite controller help the kid playing Fortnite?
