Which store did you grab it at?

PC World in ravenside/Bexhill area.

Not many games and feels cheap and plasticky ....prob cos it is...lol

Not at all its a decent sturdy controller. I have SNES emulator on my Amazon fire stick works great with the controller.

Do you product code for it

Typical. Grimsby doesn't even sell controllers

None in Leeds or Wakefield

You say that, but calling often just tips off the staff who then grab them, so it's even more annoying to be told they have them in stock when you call and then turn up to find they've been ninja'd.

Amazon now refer to this as the "1st generation 2014 version" so I guess there is a new one inbound!

Do you have a six digit product code? Thanks

I got the xiaomi one off banggood.com not so long ago when they were on offer for around this price. Usually about £15 tho. Good quality & works a treat. This is a very good deal though if it's nationwide! Heat

The problem is (as least with my local Currys/PC World) is that you *may* highlight the fact that's it's cheap and when you arrive to collect your so-called 'reservation', it's mysteriously 'disappeared'.

Me cynical? No.

So still fine for those with the 1st gen then, of which there are probably hundreds of thousands.

Kinda wish I was passing a Currys/PC World as I would be checking this out. Nearest one is a 20+ mile round trip so kinda cancels out the good deal when fuel costs/time are factored in. :disappointed:

Missed your post and said summat similar, but your are bang-on

great for anyone with gear vr. HID compliant.

I wonder if Amazon will price match

Hello mate, Here is attached picture of the receipt.

I imagine the the product code is 117336. I also tried searching it on there website but it came up with cannot find item.

Here is a larger picture of what i took in the shop to.



Hope this helps.

Hello mate, its very easy to do plenty youtube tutorials out there as well.

What you need to do is download from the amazon firestick app store an app called

ES File Explorer

Then within that app navigate to the google browser and search Snes9x EX download then install.

Anything you download is at your own risk of coarse. You are better searching on youtube thats all i did.

its the same way using this method to get software called KODI on it which is used for films etc.

cheers.

You know what else you can run on Fire?

Moonlight.

This is free, already on the Amazon app store, and lets you stream across your home network if you have an nVidia card.

That's an open door to run Steam big picture via in home streaming on Amazon using a native app with no sideloading.

Pretty good, right?

That's brilliant thank you. I eventually did get PC world to track down that very same product code on the phone, as asked the chap if he could phone the Bexhill stores to find out. They confirmed they had lots at xmas and last few went (probably after your post :smiley: ). I was told the bexhill store did a search for it nationwide and that none popped up.

So seeing the same code from you gives me confidence that they did really check for the correct item.

I'm adding heat for your awesome reply and for those that may have managed to find one like yourself. Really appreciated the great detail.

Just tried stock check near me and one left in Preston apparently if that helps anyone...bit far for me to drive from the Wirral to be told sorry no stock...

Ok seems as though I was mis-informed by phoning pc world direct. Just popped into my local, none there but the system is showing one in Wimbledon and Taunton should be of use to anyone else.

Anyone know if this works with Shield TV?

You are very welcome mate, i hope you manage to get one. :smiley:

Price confirmed in Lancaster - ticket price was £14.99. Only stock in the North West is at Preston, according to stock system.

Cheers managed to get one from Taunton. there is one left but it's scratched - it's ex display

Sorry mate..only just seen your question..same method..just phoned PC world directly and gave them the item code from receipt shown.

hi, how do you load roms on the amazon fire TV/stick? I managed to install the emulator but dreadfully cannot put roms on the device, literally getting very annoyed...
