Xbox Bargain Alerts (Games/Hardware/Accessories) MOD Note post #1

Myrddin · 2014-05-22 10:24:27

So we don't seem to have a thread to advise others of discounted/on sale/bargain price games & hardware...we do now though :) This thread can cover both physical AND digital game bargains, consoles & accessories but obviously isn't to be confused with our Weekly XBLA Game Deals thread, nor our Games with Gold thread. If we…

I bought payday 2 on the 360 and I taught it was the biggest load of **** ever tbh. Is the xb1 version the same thing ?

I'd say its one of those games that you either play with a part of friends, or you just dont bother. I like the look of it, but couldn't ever guarantee that I'd be able to get a crew together or last out the time needed to get the jobs done.

Same base game except updated and includes all the DLC. I thought it was a great game but you need at least 1 friend in party chat to play with otherwise it can be a disaster.
Great game to buy if your game sharing

I haven't tried this yet, but can vouch for the site (As I'm sure many others can on here).

https://www.g2a.com/xbox-live-12-months-gold-subscription-card-gold-pl-eu-us.html?___store=english

Using Google Translate from here

"When G2A Weekly Sale not only PC games, but also 12 months Xbox Live Gold are represented this time. The price starts at 27.49 EUR, which, depending on the method of payment, even payment fees are added. With PayPal, you pay 28.24 EUR. But if you pay G2A uses, sinds only 27.51 EUR. For a good price! For some time stores encouraged to determine from which country the client comes to subsequently deduct tax. Outside the EU do not pay taxes ! The G2A Shield you can save yourself, because it is Selected Offer. "

Source: consoles Schnäppchen.de

With Code: CHILLMO the price is even less: € 25.32
- Bedrik

I see it for €26.10 from an Italian seller, and I presume the code then gives a discount of ~ €0.80c

Might be too late, but I've one at home that I don't use and can post to you if you're in Ireland, free of charge.

PM me your address if you want it. I'm based in Cork at the moment, anyway.

Don't know if this is the right place to put it, but Storm Island DLC for Forza Horizon 2 is €10 if you have gold membership. I purchased it tonight and it's very very good.

True. Only reason I specifically said Witcher 3 was because it sells for twice as much in CeX

You'd be mad as a brush to get rid of either of those though. Both great games.

Wolfenstein : The Old Blood is 17.49 in argos http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/4113821/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CVideo%2Bgames%7C14419738/c_2/3%7C19780877%7CXbox%2BOne%7C37328270/c_3/4%7Ccat_37328270%7CXbox%2BOne%2Bgames%7C37328812.htm

Not a huge saving but might be of interest to those with a slow / capped connection

Only seeing this again now. Heard nothing from the original poster, so will assume they're now sorted.

I'll send you a PM.

People are warning people not to buy it for console as its supposedly a broken mess and the devs don't seem to be planning on doing anything about it. Just so you know...

Anyone know the best deal on the Xbox One? Looking at getting one in the coming weeks as a treat for myself for getting a job. Argos seem to be the best of the lot with the Halo: The Master Chief Collection going for 349.99 + Sunset Overdrive for an extra 13. Ideally I'd like to get the 1TB version but figure that the 500G one will do at that price.

1TB is out on the 12th I believe? Best what until then and see what offers are going and weigh up prices 1TB vs a 500 + external drive.

Don't have to be hardcore to fill up that 500 in a hurry, factor in the free games with gold each month and you could be full by September.

As I understand it the 1TB have been out for awhile, I've seen them advertised in Gamestop and on Argos. I'm in no mad hurry to get one and am thinking of holding off till the next big game comes out and seeing what Argos offer. I find that having loads of space just means that I fill the console with games and with the PS4 have been trying to limit what I download so that I'm more inclined to play what I've already started.

Much as I'd like the Xbox One I'm thinking that I may just get a WiiU and then hold off on the One till later in the year, not a huge Halo fan but figure they will have some decent bundles come October.

Xbox, Halo MCC & the Witcher 3 were going for €329 in Argos a week or 2 ago so maybe hold on to see if that good of a deal comes back again. (If you decide to get an XB1 before the end of the year that is)

Another request here (:o) is there anywhere I might pick up a copy of Mafia 2 (Classics Edition) - The reason I'm looking for the classics version is because it comes with the DLC expansions on a separate disc....

Mafia 2 was free with Games with Gold on 360 start of May. Hope you grabbed it?

Not sure if they're cheapest but can be got here:
