Is using more than one SD card with your Switch a pain in the butt?
Haven't tried it myself, but from friends that have it seems like it's as simple as it gets.
Just put in a different card and that's it.
The only thing you'll notice is that the digital games that are on your screen that are not on the card will have a little transparant logo over them, like with a physical game that is not in the system.

So it's way better than it was on Vita. :)

is £250 for a PS4 Pro really such a good deal? Had in mind it touched ~ 200 not so long ago (maybe black friday?)

Thanks guys, I always check the regional prices on eshop-prices.com tho I was hoping to find something better considering that I paid €39,50 for Mario Odyssey at launch (digital code).
Let's say 35/40€ max.

How do you guys feel getting micro SDs from amazon warehouse?

If it's only the box that's damage i don't care, but if it's used it's scary, it could be heavily writed and returned for a reason.

128GB for ~£31 sounds good, right?

It's not a bad price as you say assuming it's just a return with zero writes on it then it's a bargain, however I just checked and I only paid £31.99 for new from Amazon back in November

It's pretty dodgy buying used SD cards from Amazon Warehouse, a lot of them are fake (or were in the past). There must be some sort of scam going on where people send fake cards back to them and the people checking aren't really aware of what they're looking at, they must end up with the returned ones being sold in a constant loop where you send it back saying it's fake but once returned they just throw it back into the warehouse again without really following up on it - I've had 2 fake cards from them before and at the time when I was looking there were tons of complaints about it.

Pretty sure the same card can be had at Picstop.co.uk for £29.99 (plus a little Quidco/TCB). They're reliable. A few people here (myself included) have used them

Well, this puts me off completely, I haven't though that they can return fakes one and amazon would not care.. , I have issues with fake cards on ebay, so it's a no go then.

just be sure to buy one which is fully packaged, the fake ones usually come with no packaging.
dont worry about reading speeds, i think you dont need the fastest one, which are these days only needed for 4k recording and nothing else. your average gaming/smartphone sd is completely fine. the 200gb ones are, if you are lucky, around 50€.

After seeing all the positive reviews for Ni No Kuni 2 my hype levels have increased!!! Does anyone know of any reliable retailers who normally/sometimes dispatch pre orders early? I'm hoping to get hold of Ni No Kuni 2 before Friday if possible.

Missed out on a cheap 360 Theta camera on the warehouse deal this morning. Anyone have any decent deals before I settle for a Samsung 360 2016?

I dunno if anyone else needs one but Amazon have the squishy Metroid Amiibo in stock.

Edit: that wasn't a referral link mods. I cut that shit off the url and pasted in. Check my history of previous links. If there's a "referral", it's probably because I searched for Solaire before clicking to that Amiibo. In a vague sense I guess that's a referral lol

MOD EDIT: No referral links please, thank you.

for the Irish folks, Sea of Thieves is 45 in Argos. Think that's the cheapest price out there in the local stores anyways (gamestop has it at 70, smyths at 50) and one of the cheapest I've seen for online sales

PS4 arrived. Checking it over, it seems brand new. No spider next present!
It was the Fifa 18 edition with the game and DLC all present and still sealed.
244, Amazing deal.

Was it listed as "used-like new"? The ones I saw in that condition were without any game, £316 before the deal bringing it to £253. Looks like you grabbed a much better deal!

I had a look at their books last week oddly enough, but my tiny exposure to accounting/audit is so long ago I couldn't really make heads or tails of what I was reading. Seems though this is more credit lines being slashed rather abruptly, which would jeopardize any company in a vulnerable position.

Hopefully they pull through, as some shady practises aside they're valuable competition, and actually have good prices in store.

everytime i've seen graingergames pop up on hukd a couple of people always mention that when they have problems they're never any good at replying and fixing the problem so maybe it's for the best
Personally, I've only had an issue once across a number of orders, which they quickly rectified without question.

Agreed - reduced competition is never a good thing. That, and I have three open orders with them that I'd very much like to be fulfilled...

It's a shame for everyone potentially losing their jobs and a shame for the high street, but it's also completely inevitable. Games are heading further towards a digital future.

And it'll be hell over here when that day comes. I'll probably leave console gaming once it's all digital as the prices are already day an absolute joke and I bet they go up with no cheaper physical alternative.

Think Amazon has enough sway to keep consoles having a disc drive or what have you for another generation at least.

One open order here. But I've picked it up via PayPal so I'm not worried. In fact it doesn't sound from the article that the danger is huge yet, as they're still in negotiations with banks/potential buyers/creditors etc.
