CEX a few months ago came under the spotlight for fleecing customers who wanted to purchase the NES they commanded a silly price for it which back then was €190
The NES Mini list price was approx €65 and up until yesterday they where charging between €135/€165 because I have been watching. However last night it was announced that the console would be no longer made for now in North America at least…

So here is what CEX have to offer. Just ignore it and dont even think of paying this much for it…
Appealing to the modern consumer can be difficult. Consumers are becoming more and more demanding and they expect a certain standard when it comes to the shopping experience.
Technology plays an important role within that and according to a Deloitte, 64% of sales are digitally influenced. This essentially means that you need to meet your customers where they are – on their smartphone.
Many customers now even use their smartphones in-store to check product information. This doesn’t mean that they’re going to buy the product online and often they just want to check reviews online before buying in-store. Even things like having a good website can help draw customers in-store so you should ensure to have information about your store location and hours visible on your website.
Check out this infographic from M2 On Hold for more information on how your store can go the extra mile to keep customers happy.

NTA said: “The app has been a resounding success, and we want to make sure that it continues to meet people’s need and expectations.
“The enhancements are being introduced in response to feedback from customers, and we believe they will improve the functionality of the app in a meaningful way.
“We saw where last year, the numbers of people using, subsidised public transport services provided by Bus Éireann, Dublin Bus, Iarnród Éireann, and Luas increased by 4.4% and we want that trend to continue.
“That is why all our apps undergo a continuous process of enhancement and improvement on an ongoing basis.”
App stats:
Total Downloads/Installs: 138,000
The average volume of total monthly top-ups on the app in 2016 was 66,982.
In the month of March this year, there were 154,700 top-ups performed on the app.
The average value of monthly total top-ups on the app in 2016 was €875,469.
In the month of March this year, the value of top-ups performed on the app was €1,960,379.
The total value of top-ups made on the app, up to 31st March this year, was €15,927,200.
Background:
Since 2016, Leap Card users with Near Field Communications (NFC)-enabled Android phones can check their card balance and instantly top-up their card with travel credit or collect pre-purchased tickets, including TaxSaver tickets, onto their Leap Card – all by touching their card against their phones.
Leap Top-Up App uses NFC technology to communicate directly between the phone and the Leap Card.
This new enhancement will be particularly useful to Leap Card users who most regularly travel by bus as, until now, they have had to detour to a shop to upload credit or ticket products bought earlier online.
Any Leap Card holder with an NFC-enabled Android smartphone with a Google Play account can download the Leap Top-Up App.
In addition, people with the App on their phones can check a friend’s Leap Card Balance for them, allow them to collect a ticket or pay for a friend’s Leap Card top-up, instantly, and in their own time.
Apple has not yet decided to allow access to NFC technology by third parties. If and when they do, the National Transport Authority plans to develop this App on iOS for iPhone owners.

Twitter has announced a new version called Twitter Lite which is basically as faster version on the web but you can also use it on your mobile phone and in effect it will save you on data charges too and loading quicker. It however has all the features you would expect to find n your typical native app you may have installed on your mobile phone today… It works fine having tried it out albeit is bit slower with touch..

However, there are several barriers to using Twitter, including slow mobile networks, expensive data plans, or lack of storage on mobile devices. While smartphone adoption grew to 3.8 billion connections by the end of 2016, 45% of mobile connections are still on slower 2G networks, according to GSMA.

Almost half do not scrutinise app details, 60 per cent rarely review permissions being requested before download..
With 3.8 million cyber-crime offences reported in the UK last year, new RiskIQ research reveals how consumers’ poor security awareness and demand for mobile apps is placing identities and devices at risk.
On more than one occasion, 12 per cent of people in the UK mistakenly installed an app in the belief that it originated from a trusted source later to find out this was not the case.
Poor security awareness, coupled with an insatiable demand for mobile apps, are placing UK consumers’ identities and devices at risk. A new nationwide survey commissioned by RiskIQ of 1,000 people across the country* reveals that almost half (45 per cent) do not scrutinise the app’s details while 60 per cent never or only occasionally review the privacy policy and permissions requested by the app before downloading. Such a fast and carefree approach to mobile apps is leaving UK consumers vulnerable to cyber criminals seeking to infect the mobile devices and steal information from unsuspecting victims.
With 3.8 million cyber-crime offences[2] reported in the UK last year, cyber criminals are capitalising on consumers’ poor security awareness. Despite the prevalence of malvertising as an attack vector, RiskIQ’s survey found that 45 per cent have clicked on an advertisement promoting a mobile app, movie or game. This is followed by over a third (37 per cent) who have clicked on a link in an email, website or social media feed to download an app, movie or game. Consumers’ propensity to click through without thoroughly inspecting details such as the developer, last version update and any reviews, increases their risk of downloading counterfeit or malicious apps. Alarmingly, on more than one occasion, one in ten (12 per cent) have mistakenly installed an app in the belief that it originated from a trusted source later to find out this was not the case.
Colin Verrall, VP EMEA, RiskIQ comments, “Unlike businesses that are becoming increasingly mobile security savvy, many consumers remain unaware and vulnerable. Given the volume of personal information being requested and shared through mobile applications, the need for better mobile security awareness has never been greater.”
Generational and gender differences in mobile app and security behaviours are also apparent:
Generational differences – Millennials more vulnerable
Millennials are guilty of clicking before thinking, 14 per cent have mistakenly installed an app they believed was from a trusted brand. In comparison, seniors (60+) have never or rarely done so
13 per cent of millennials have jailbroken their phones, citing the freedom to download and install what they want as the biggest factor (73 per cent). Almost none of the seniors had done so, while 10 percent of Gen Xers and 3 per cent of baby boomers have
Over half of millennials (56 per cent) have clicked on an ad on their mobile promoting a mobile app, movie or game compared to 51 per cent of Gen Xers, 38 per cent of baby boomers and 25 per cent of seniors
Women at greater risk
A quarter of women (26 per cent) never read a mobile app’s data and privacy policy or review permissions requested compared to 17 per cent of men
Women are less likely to install additional security software on their mobile phones (39 per cent) compared to more than half of male respondents (53 per cent)
Women (28 per cent) are less likely to consider security features when buying a new phone versus 39 per cent of men
“The vastness of the app store ecosystem provides the perfect place for malicious actors to hide, luring consumers into believing their apps are official or their brand affiliation is legitimate. RiskIQ works with many major organisations to police their apps and brands across hundreds of different app stores but it’s no replacement for consumer vigilance. With the number of blacklisted apps** doubling between 2015 and 2016, it’s time for consumers to up their ‘security awareness’ game”, concludes Verrall.
* The Mobile Apps survey, conducted by Ginger Comms on behalf of RiskIQ in March 2017, sourced answers from 1,016 nationally representative UK adults aged 18 and above.
*RiskIQ research on mobile apps affiliated with top UK brands across 150 different app stores.
