    Can't believe Grado didn't sue Philips for copying their mesh cup design!

    Yea, they do look very much like Grados, don't they?

    210€ in Smyths with 2 games. Add a console bundle of your choice and Forza Horizon 4 to cart total will be 209.99

    Thanks. I'll have a look. The S is still a current good console right? It's one aspect of tech I never bothered keeping up with as I always preferred gaming on a PC.

    This is better than the HD600. Have a pair I use everyday for music and gaming. Has got great reviews from audiophiles. Lots of bass for an open back. Very comfortable, can wear it for hours at a time and excellent build quality. Low impedence, so doesn't need a dedicated amp. Can be run easily off a PC or even a phone.

    These are £125 on Amazon Warehouse in "very good condition" with 20% promotion. That's very really great value if you get a good pair.

    Was going to buy a phone for 529 gbp, am a prime member so free delivery, but would be anyway. But when I go to check out the price is 544. Change delivery address to my parcelmotel or a relatives I send things to in the uk and the price drops again.

    I use amazon probably every week and never seen this before, product sold by amazon not a third party. Anyone experienced this and if so know how to fix it?

    VAT rate is different, so address change reflects that.

    Yeah the chat guy explained that, shame he already told me they’d waive the extra before changing his mind. So just cancelled the order and will complain about him, not the vat.

    Cheers

    Anyone know if the amazon fire tablets have google play on them or it has to be installed manually? I'm looking at the Fire HD 10 £109 without special offer. Anyone any experience with these, seems a decent deal to me.

    £20 off the PS4 bundles on Amazon is poor enough. Was hoping for better

    I'm a Prime member but am I right in saying that Amazon are no longer delivering TVs to ROI that are 50" or larger?

    Play store can be side loaded.

    If you google it you will find instruction on how to install the playstore to give you gmail and any apps not available in the amazon app store.

    In the past there were some issues with the Fire and opening gmail messages with attachments. But I think that is resolved.

    For practical purposes it works just like any android tablet. Its fantastic value too.

    I had to use AddressPal this morning to order a 65" TV that they wouldn't deliver to ROI/NI
    edit: Nevermind, addresspal won't accept a 25kg package. Anyone have any alternatives? Needs to be a UK mainland virtual address.

    Yes same problem... anything about 50" is likely to be too large/heavy for AddressPal

    Some good discounts on Garmin Smartwatches. I'm looking at the Garmin Vivoactive 3 GPS for £180 v's Garmin Forerunner 735XT GPS for £190.
    Looks like the 735XT has the bigger spec.

    And how does that compare to the Fitbit Ionic for £239? I see some saying online that the app and details/info it displays are much better with Fitbit than with Garmin.

    Not sure compared to the fitbit, but the 735 does lack a few of the features of the 935xt. It's basically the next multisport watch down from that. Tempted myself, if OHR works, which is about the only reason for me to upgrade from the 920xt.

    Horrific. Considering the £300 for FIFA 18, and the new COD for a Pro last year was brilliant.

    I get e-mails from AddressPaal as well saying 'your AddressPal item has been received' when the item is delivered in the UK and, a few days later, a text message from AnPost indicating item is/will be out for delivery.

    Excellent service.

    Didn't even know there was another version after the 735!
    Had to google OHR :o

    The TV I wanted but didn't buy at 399 last Friday bounced up to 499 and then to 600 before hitting back to 419 last night.
    So if you've missed anything during the week check and see if it's back for a second time today!
