My brother had to pay €140 because his PS4 was scratched and controller was worn. Anyone else encounter this?

My sons PS4 was scratched to bits on the piano black piece, but they never said a word. Controllers had to be working though.

Yeah there were scratches on my xbox from stacking devices on top of it and there was nothing mentioned about it.

Howd you manage to get the adapter i thought that promo ended ages ago?

How you manage the free kinect adaptor?

I just contacted them on live chat and said that i bought the one s not realising i wouldn't be able to use my kinect to skype. I said I had read online about the free connector, and the guy said i needed to provide the serial numbers of my one, one s and kinect. When i contacted them again with the serials, the girl i was talking to said that offer had expired in march, but since I wasn't told that, they would send one out as a goodwill gesture.

Guess I got a bit lucky with the first guy not just saying I couldn't get one.

Edit: Shipping email just came through this minute.

He's traded box and all but might be worth a phone call all the same.

No 500gb left - is the 1tb for €140 worth it?

.E_C_K_S.

Took the 1TB for an extra 50 as the 500GB ran out, happy enough with that.

Serious queues in store for this, staff were under pressure. Bit of a mess all round.

Jayprey

Just into Galway there. None left there and none due in before Sunday which is the last day of the offer apparently. Wonder if anywhere nearby has the offer still available?

Cant get through to any Dublin store. Any updates on deliveries tomorrow/waiting lists/ when the deal expires?

I was with my brother-in-law today in Blanch when he did the deal at around 4pm. Couldn't see anyone else doing the same thing at the time.

Their official pictures say it runs until Oct 10th.

aidz

Offer sold out in cavan.
Has any store offer still available?

TheBrinch

I finally got one in Charlestown. €61 with forza horizon 3, physical copy of fifa and the jersey. Proper delighted!! Really didnt want minecraft.

I was supposedly on a waiting list since yesterday and they told me they would get more in today. I rang them near the end of the day and asked about it. They said I wasnt on the list, then that they had been trying to call me all day (despite no missed calls on my end). The manager then remembered me visiting the shop yesterday so said she has a special one in the back that I could have.

There was only one other one there but it was preordered by someone else.
So just a heads up that they are likely still selling loads while telling people they are on a list. Keep following up and you might have a chance!

To the credit of the staff they really were friendly and helpful.

everlast75

Traded in for the 1tb. 140e to include gears of war on the machine, physical copy of fifa and jersey.
Traded fifa back in for 55e so pre ordered Cod WW2 and put that down as the deposit.
Happy enough with that - thanks OP

MrGaryFox

Was in Liffey Street, Dublin today and they got the deal at 2pm. They were out of stock in the morning but got a lot just after lunch. Said the deal has been incredibly popular.
Just a note, if you completely format your Xbox make sure to go through the settings and set it up correctly again as they don't have wifi in shop to set it up.

Dealt with Graham in there, absolute gent. Got the Forza Deal, Fifa 18, and Xbox One for €61. Bargain of the year! Thanks for OP for posting.

bizz213

Went in to Douglas, Cork today at 9 and he said come back at lunch and they would have one. Said he possibly would only have minecraft but when i came to collect it he had put a forza away. Delighted! Said they had traded 40 xboxes alone that week and were under serious pressure!

budhabob

Gonna chance getting this today, fingers crossed for stock, Omni and Charlestown.

Ring first - get the name of the person you spoke to, clarify the deal and then go in. Saves a lot of flaffing around

Seámus-Púbach

Tallaght got 4 in total this morning. One left at 9.33. Shop opened at 9.30

First come first served

If they’ll answer the phone!

Akrasia

I got the minecraft version, the kids have it on the 360 but not on the xbox one.
It came with a separate windows 10 key which I don't need, so if anyone wants the windows 10 minecraft code the first person to PM me gets it

edit*
Gone now

Tried Omni, Charlestown and swords, no go

TheBigEvil

Got the 1TB version in Swords Pavillions this morning at 9am. They had no 500GB version left, and were expecting some stock later today and were putting names down on a list, first come first served. One guy in before me put his name on list. Said the 500GB offer ends tomorrow.

Got the Gears of War 4 edition, 1TB and FIFA18, for €118... was supposed to be 140 but gave me 16 credit for the Kinect device, and whatever he did brought it down to €118. So absolutely delighted

Could also have got the Forza edition, but i'm not into Forza, and I dont have Gears 4.

Personally, get the 1TB edition guys if you are interested and trade in the connect to bring the price down again. Its still a cracking offer.

Ohh one final word of advice, if you have an external Hard Drive, move all your games to it before hand to save you having to download them again. Remove your profile and do a reset on the box. They said they will remove your profile from the box if it is on it when you bring it in, but it wont be done in front of you, as they just don't have time.

ThunbergsAreGo

Brilliant deal thanks op and bargain alerts

Good staff in Swords

They got 500GB ones in the Pavilion now, I got one about 45 minutes ago.

They've only got small t-shirts left so if there's any young people buying FIFA just give it to them if you'be no use for it. Lad I gave mine to was delighted.

JamesLenihan

I was just on to the GameStop on Patrick street cork, they put my name down on the last one. It’s the FIFA 17 edition so no forza or mine craft for me. Il still get physical copy of fifa 18 and a jersey. Not too bothered as I’m only in it for the console. If your looking for one in cork call one of the other shops before going in.

chris0808

Just got the Minecraft key yesterday. Does anyone want to swap for Forza ?

Kerplunk124

I've also got a minecraft key looking for forza haha

Jayprey

Got sorted with the Forza version in Mullingar. It has the hot wheels dlc as well. Happy out! Still had a few left as of an hour ago.

Indestructable

Forza is great craic. Better than I thought. Even 70 quid for Forza and Fifa is a good deal, nevermind the upgraded Xbox and t shirt. Happy out.

jamesd

Only had the 1TB versions in Athlone, traded in and told them to keep FIFA as I wouldn’t play it so I got the jersey , Xbox 1TB for €70

Until October 10th or while stocks last

beercr8te

Thanks OP, managed to get one. Went to Castlebar as they showed they had stock on the website, when i got to the shop they had ran out of Xbox one s 500GB stock, but had the multiple 1GB versions (gears of war 4, halo wars 2, forza 3 horizon and another i forgot what game) in stock, I had no issue trading in old console, managed to trade in Fifa 18 for 55 euro to bring down cost from 140 to 85 euro, a lot of people going for the deal while I was there. Kids were off their heads with happiness after finding out we upgraded their xbox and especially that theirs was better than mine.

Shanee.

Thanks OP managed to get one in Ennis yesterday. Brought up my Xbox at 4.45 as I was up the country all week and by 6pm I walked out with a new Xbox and fifa for 70 quid. They only had 2 left so i was lucky. Great deal

rahern

Anybody know if any stock around cork

yoshimitsu

I just went in to all 3 central Dublin locations - Henry, Liffey, St. Stephen's - and they were all out of stock. Both 500GB and 1TB.
The girl in Liffey St said they'll get a delivery in on Tuesday but there is not way of knowing if it'll include additional units compatible with this promotion
They guy in Henry street said the promo end today so its game over.

Not sure if anybody has any other info.
I knew this would happen! i was abroad and followed this thread daily knowing that it would sold out by the time I came back!

Charlestown and Swords have a couple of 1TBs left with Gears 4. Just back from Charlestown myself. €131 with the loyalty card and then trade in Fifa 18 for €52.50 credit if you don't want it.

mralphabet1984

Dundrum definitely have 500gb left walked out about half an hour ago with the forza/hot wheels bundle

Has anyone traded a 1TB in this deal?
Was it treated the same as a 500GB?
