I was told end of July. Tried to trade my white pad in earlier, but they were sold oit of red pads.

That’s grand so, probably go for the black myself not really a fan of that shade of red.

Picked up a black and red one. Black one looks better imo. It's a great offer by GameStop. Not often I'd applaud them.

Makes you think what's the logic. Will Sony be super impressed that they sell out of the new consoles straight away and offer them lower prices or first dibs on consoles that become available. I know they'll sell the 2nd hand controllers for a big profit but they're gonna be landed with so many. Maybe they'll sell straight to cex

Fair play to GameStop. They know they screwed up with preordergate. Great offer.

That's not why they are doing this. They do deals like this all the time, have done for years, I got an X when it came out for €50 and a Pro for €99.

I wanted a red controller but sold out. No idea why anyone would want black, it's so boring especially after years and years of black controllers I'm wired now for something visually stand-outing.

Fair enough but brand new + just released dualsense trade in for 5 euro? Best Ive seen from them in a long time.

Put it this way after all the hassle they caused people with ps5 preorders I have been avoiding them since. Few more offers like this and I'd be inclined to give them more custom. I think its an outstanding offer.

It good I went in trade in my white dual sense for the midnight black dualsense was expecting to pay €5 then he said €1.I was happy to pay the €5 but only cost me €1 for a brand new dualsense.

I half wonder if that controller deal is serving to replace a load of earlier controllers that were fault prone. I'm hopeful anyway.

Like I said I got an X the week it came out and a PS4 Pro the week that came out for barely any money. Gamestop is always doing crazy trade in deals.

I got my PS5 from them a few months ago. Signed in, added to cart, paid and it arrived 2 days later. Easy.

I heard you the first time on the X and Pro. I wasnt calling you a liar. I just thought this deal is better.

Your PS5 wasnt a pre-order tho was it?

You are hard work pal.

No it wasn't a pre-order. It was in March. No idea what your last remark was about. Cop on.

Anyone know if the black and red controllers are better built or just reskinned versions of the white one?

Cotts72

Anyone had much success in cork with a red controller? Seemed to have sold out everywhere

Think the reason GameStop's controller deal is so good is that they keep all of the profits on pre-owned sales. Makes sense to give away new one's for a fiver and give Sony their cut, then sell on the one you traded into them for €50/€60 and keep 100%.

Got the cosmic red controller, ended being 5.99 since I had Level 3 membership

How much did they buy them from Sony or their suppliers though. They of course are making a profit but not as much as you think.

Grabbed a black controller from GameStop on Patrick's street today.

Thanks for the heads up on am excellent deal.

Potential-Monke

I was in GS Crescent yesterday but didn't have my controller, however yer one behind the has put one aside for me to collect Monday when I'm back in. She wasn't going to, but checked stock and had 9 black ones left, but decided to put one aside as they had 30 that morning! I'm looking forward to not seeing how dirty the controller gets!

friend and foe

had 2 white controllers, so traded my launch controller and picked up the black one myself, worked out at 2.99 thanks to gamestop loyalty's bonus trade in credit.. kept the newer of my white controllers as i do still quite like the two tone aesthetic tho.. incredible bargain

Potential-Monke

I'm not sure if it's a placeholder or it's right, but the GameStop website is showing a 1Tb Pro will get €250 trade credit. Compared to CEX who will give €138 credit for the same thing... Surely not right? I'd be tempted to bring mine in on Monday when getting the Controller and putting it towards a Series X... Seems like really good value.

Edit: It has the same console underneath but with a trade price of €200. Still not bad mind.

Would be about right. They're doing a deal where you get a Pulse headset, a dualsense, a dualsense charger and Ratchet and Clank for €50 when you trade in a PS4 Pro and they all vost about €280 separately.

Pay €17 to upgrade to level 3. You will get 10% bonus on trade in and a €10 euro once off trade in bonus to use on another day.

There is also a 25% bonus against preorders.

Oh I has that already, not far off Epic and I didn't pay for any upgrade, so they get a good bit of custom from me. I'll ask the price tomorrow when I'm in.

Got a call yesterday from Stephen's Green saying they had a cancellation for a red pad and got one held for me. Went in today and got it for €4 with my epic card after trading my white pad in.

@ mods, just a suggestion.

With the split in PS4 and PS5 player base would there be any chance we could have a separate thread for each here?

PS4 bargains
PS5 bargains

I haven’t and won’t be upgrading to a PS5 any time soon so it’s a waste of time seeing 10 “bargains” about the new dual sense controller for PS5.

Thanks

shawki

I was clearing out a wardrobe and found some PS2 games. I checked CEX and all my mine are duds in €0.00-€2.00 range but I saw some crazy prices.

A possible "bargain" for people who might have these games lying around.

Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone PS2 €48 Cash, €57 Voucher

I'd like them kept together. I have a PS5 but happy to pick up bargain PS4 games to play on it. Some things are not going to interest me - I already have 2 Dualsense and the new colours aren't something I'm bothered about - but that's going to happen with any thread giving recommendations.

There’d be nothing stopping you from opening the PS4 thread though.

Exclamation Marc

Much like games you're not interested in, just skip past them. Most bargains (outside of the very few PS5 only items such as the Dualsense) are cross platform.

Same as that. I’ve picked up more PS4 bargains than PS5 here. I’d keep them together for a while yet

Riesen_Meal

I'm sure PS3 and Vita were lumped in here when the PS4 was only just out, not sure having PS5 stuff is any different, everyone will eventually get one when the time is right....

petes

Don't think there is too many PS5 bargains yet to have it's own thread :pac:

Still buy both PS5 and PS4 so don't see the harm in having them in one thread.

Returnal dropped to $50 for prime day in the US, of course it’s dropped on Amazon uk, but it’s still £65

Bargain? Maybe. Cheaper, definitely….. if it was £50 or less I’d bite

Whats with the "bargains" in quotes?

Dont like the dual sense controller?

I would like ps4 and ps5 to stay together also.

Potential-Monke

So popped into GameStop yesterday to get my black DualSense, and with Level 3 it cost 99c. I also traded jn Rift Apart and got Returnal for around €35 so not a bad trade in day at all.

The Pro will get me €220 credit and can be out on my card to use online also, so probably gonna do that soon before the price drops.
