How come UXB, I need to pick it up in store on the day, where were you going to get it for £32?

Indonesia PSN store, this code (valid to 31st Oct) gives 15% off JMR5BQD4B4 but doesn't work on pre orders

Wondering what controller, xb1 or PS4 would suit RDR best?
General rule for me is driving/shooting games on xb1 and exploring/platform type games on PS4.

It equates to £37 not £32. May fluctuate slightly depending on your bank.

I take it's just a case of logging into the indonesia ps store and purchasing the game?

Ah, maybe I'll try it on the day then. My internet is so slow it'll take two days to download though

Only another 70 hours on the download to go. My one gripe with EGYPT...

Currently priced at 740,000 Rp on Indonesian store = £37.51 with discount code brings it down to £31.88

You need to setup a Indonesia PSN account, and add revolut virtual credit card, or you can buy Indonesia PSN top up but will cost more.

Cant make my mind up - Go buy it Friday after work from Tesco and play it

Go Buy it saturday from game, trade in Tomb raider and God of war

Go buy the Ps4 pro bundle trade in my ps4, and a couple of games, With the game Costing £50 on its own, with my trade ins in theory it would "only" be costing me another £80 as i would be buying the game anyway.

Wonder what the chances of my local game having the Red dead ps4 pro bundle in stock on saturday. Probably not likely.

I thought buying on foreign stores was dead and buried

Playstation, only caveat is that any DLC has to be bought from that region too.

Great point Kerplunk, thanks for that - last console game I played was GTAV on the 360 so it's been a while.

Got my pre-order in, 1 ticket for the hype train please!

I find it amazing that in this generation it's still GTAV which is among the best selling games and for me technically one of the greatest games. And it's a port of a last gen title?!

I genuinely don't see how this won't wipe the floor with anything else.

How do you know these foreign versions aren't censored?

That'd be priceless

I'm steering clear of any of the foreign deals. It seems a lot of work and there's a big risk involved. Sure, I'd have liked to get the game for less than £50, but I'm not willing to take the risk for £13. Some have said that you then have to purchase DLC in the same manner. It sounds a bit iffy to me.

Well apparently for the physical copies there is a 1.5-2 hour install process to go through, lol.

Risk of having PSN ID banned for breach of terms too

Yeah all the hassle involved just to save a bit doesnt seem to be worth it, especially if you have to make a separate account.

Yep I saw that on Reddit yesterday, I'm very glad I went down the digital route this time. Day 1 patch will probably take all of 1 minute to download, I'll be on for 12:05am hopefully

Might just buy it from tesco Friday morning then, i go to the gym at 6am, so could grab it, go to gym, set it to install, go to work and then be ready for when im home at 7pm, Still have not completed assassins creed, been trying my hardest im 50 hours in, was hoping to finish it before getting red dead, ah well... Didn't realize it was going to be a two disc game!

That's my other concern. What's to stop MS and Sony from doing this?

But finally, and I suppose this may be controversial, you're supporting the developers less. For someone like EA, that might be ok for some people, but it's clear that RDR2 is going to be a ground-breaking game and a lot of work has gone into it. Working around the price to save a few pounds seems a bit off when a game this big comes along. I sure won't be buying the more expensive versions, but I'm happy to pay £50 for this even though that's quite a lot. I know I'm going to get a huge amount back for that £50 before the game is even out.
