Brilliant game. Some rate it as high or higher than Mario Kart.

JimBurnley

A lot (if not all) of PS hits games (TLOU, GOW, GT, HZD, etc) €10 in Smyths

mrcheez

Death Stranding and Days Gone are also €15.73 in Argos

I think those games are a little too big for me these days... too much on backlog though I'll make exception for TLOU2


Edit... see Death Stranding was mentioned earlier alright...

FWIW, TLOU2 took me about 30 hours to finish and Death stranding took me 32, so settle in.

yeah TLOU2 has been on my "must-buy" list for a while as I'm invested in the story, whereas the others are just a passing interest in that I may pick them up when they drop to €9 or less in a year or so... so if I'm gonna spend 30 hours in one of them it might as well be the one I really want

If you know someone with a PS5 you could get Days Gone for free

Picked up GOW for €7.86 in Argos today.

Console offers are really poor this year.

Last year in Argos, I got Ps4 Pro, Death Stranding, extra controller & a blu-ray for €325

Delighted to pick up TLOU 2 today. Must replay the first one again too.

I availed of that offer too and traded in my 4 year old OG PS4, two old style controllers and Death Stranding which I had already bought a couple of weeks previous into cex for €265 cash meaning the upgrade cost me €60. Such a good deal.

Mod note: Have deleted the last few posts for obvious reasons. This is not a bargains thread, not one to complain about your struggles to resell a PS5 for profit.

Hey_Listen

Just ordered god of war, ratchet and clank, unchartered 4 and horizon zero dawn from Smyths delivered. I know Argos has them cheaper but it'll cost me the difference in parking/travel anyway + it's a PITA figuring out which store has availability. Might pick up the last of us in store.

Now, my next issue is to get my hands on a PS4 or 5. Any chance PS4 will be on sale again or its PS5 from now on... Maybe even a PS4 pro slim ...

Ha, beat me to the post

Some really great deals going around, really good amount of games i really wanted to play on release and all under 20 euro now too. Good stuff

Mr.Saturn

Tempted by the Resident Evil triple pack, which generally guarantees it's going to be up on PSNow exactly 5 minutes after I confirm purchase. Speaking of which, tomorrow's PS Now dump apparently hasn't leaked yet for some reason.

Ps now new games actually rarely get announced early (last month was an exception). Which is in itself strange given plus games follow fairly regular announcement the week before. Expect to see them officially tomorrow afternoon when they go live online, but could see some leaks earlier in the day when Japanese sites new games go live, noting eu games sometimes differ from Japan 's.

Death Stranding for €20. Finally might give it a go.

Worth it

Zero-Cool

It so is. Not for everyone, but if it turns out it is for you, then it will be the best 20 you've spent in a long time. I had zero hype for it, bought it on launch on a whim and absolutely loved it.

martyos121

Tempted by Death Stranding at that price as well, very intrigued by the gameplay. Only thing is I'm playing through AC Odyssey now so I could be servery burnt out by the end of that and I'm not sure I'd have the patience for DS right away.

I'm one of those people that thinks DS is amazing, but if there is one thing it requires from the player, it is patience. It is a very slow game, but can also be weirdly relaxing, which is a bit strange since its a post apocalyptic game where an unborn fetus is your only warning of extra-dimensional ghosts that want to suck you into an undead abyss.

Death Stranding is €16.93 in Argos if you want physical

Sold.

That really should’ve been the blurb too, would’ve broken sales records if that was written on the box.

Lol, it is a description that is in no way exaggerated either.

It's be more difficult, given the climate of gaming currently, if they said 'the more you help other people playing the game, the better you'll do'

Certainly sounds better than postman-in-barren-land-simulator :-)

Just got a digital ps5 but now need to see where the best place is to get cheap digital games, looking for ufc 4, any suggestions?

If you're into EA games, could be worth a sub to EA Play? €25 a year, with discounts on current games. UFC 1 - 3 are there free, and UFC 4 will be there in the "Vault" in a while too.

Thats really cool!

mrcheez

My backlog is huge enough that I can wait a while before purchasing anything until they drop to a couple of euro, but will we start seeing PS4 games dropping a lot more after release of PS5?

Probably, but not as soon as you may think. There are over 100 million more PS4s in the wild than PS5s, it will still be an active playerbase for a few years yet.

DirtyBollox

considering the last game to be released on the PS3 was in August of this year... we've a while yet before they stop making PS4 games.

Yeah there's no deals tab on the console store, better off using the web store or app

I hope so. I'm hoping to see a return of the 12 Days of Xmas sale that they used to do. I don't think they ran it last year though

I presume it will be at some point if there is an Xmas sale, i think that 12 days of xmas lasted the 24 days (one sale every 2 days). unless they are doing a sale a day, i really hope it comes back too, good idea it was

End of year sale ends on 22nd so I'm guessing that is when Christmas sale happens

It was 40euro in Smyths not so long ago may be worth checking there every so often ..

Lots of games reduced again 40-50% in Smyths and Argos, similar to black friday deals a few weeks ago.

€39.99 in Smyths at the moment.
