Argos discounted prices + game. (Console)

[NJD]

Clickly.

Well, there's not much to click beside choosing your console and seeing if there's anything you like. Prices slashed on random games more so than a big "grab me" deal, only come across it by chance. Dirt Rally - £20.49, F1 2016 - £28.99, Forza Horizon 3 - £23.99 just to list a few popualr titles.

Also Game, or my local one, had an offer on pre-owned xbox 360 games: 5 for £5, 3 for £10 or 3 for £20.

Figured I'd post since christmas and all that. Cheap gift or worth a trip to Game if anyone's still on 360.

Tempted by F1 2016 but xbox one's annoying "must install rather than being able to play straight away" system has put me of putting any more time/money into removing and installing games.

I just bought a PS4, funnily enough in an Argos deal. 1TB slim, with uncharted, last of us and drove club for £225.

I didn't know about this install the game before playing, but it's bloody annoying. I thought that was the whole appeal of consoles over PCs, you could just instantly play....

New theory thought up today: file sizes of games required to install exceed what bog standard CD/DVD's are capable of holding and therefore you'd need blue ray discs to make them plug and play, probably just stuck with cheap discs and put the installation and run files on them and then that's why it stores on your console.

Could be balls but probably a way for them to make more monies than make it convenient for customers.

Colleagues at work regularly buy games, they always moan that they buy the disc and on installation have to immediately download 50gig of updates. They seem to buy them when the game is first released and then complain for days that the update servers crack under load.

Seems a bit demented to release a game that needs updating on release day and they know the servers wont be able to cope.

Software developers have deadlines too. Getting a game out there and played by thousands at once is the very best
test their product can get and with updates they can fix what's broken after they have your money. It's a pretty savvy
business model really.
