For those thinking of getting the first game before jumping into Danganronpa 2, it's currently £19.99 on PSN or £17.99 for PS+ members (Link). Though I'm sure everyone with a Vita has already played it because it's so awesome, right?

Edit: Woops, seems there was a thread, ah well maybe someone else missed it.

 

[Sakujou]

Nice one, cheers guys. I've set up stock alert e-mails on both the Black and White ones. Not in a huge rush so don't mind waiting a bit for that price.

best controller in years. and 25€ is a steal. its a pleasure to use it. i didnt expect anything. i was clearly suprised by that nice controller. everyone with a wii u NEEDS it.

 

[Prelude.]

I couldn't see it either so I just added a card to pay.

Welp, that's weird.

 

[jimi_dini]

best controller in years.

Yep. After playing with it for a few months, I just can't go back to DS3 anymore. Is there some device, so that one can use it with PS3 as well? Maybe I will even buy a 3rd one. The battery life is insane.

 

[Cømet]

Well I popped on to the web chat real quick on the way to work, don't have time to call them I will have to do it tomorrow. As expected I wasn't really told anything new just that it is still in processing and they hope to send me my gift card soon. Hopes for a PS4 on Destiny launch day dwindling...

Best of luck man. I really don't trust GAME, every experience I've ever had with them and their usually rude staff has been a bad one.


Wish they'd have gone bust and Gamestation was still around




On a cheerier note, what's the lowest people have seen Destiny standard edition go for in the UK? Kind've talked myself out of the LE for now (lol), money just a bit too tight for my liking.

 

[LAM09]

Where is the cheapest place to get a DS4 that can be shipped to the UK?

Thanks in advance.

 

[Mitochondrion]

Random question, since PlayStation 4 launched last year. When can we expect a slim PlayStation 4 the earliest? I know nobody knows for sure as there is no rumours or anything on the Internet about it but an educated guess from experience?

Can we expect it 2016? Is it better to wait for the slim version or not? How good is the launch model? I heard it is "wobbly".

Launch model is very good, mine aint wobbly. Slim holiday 2015 or 2016 earliest.

The Mayflash adapter seems to work with PS3 but I haven't tried it.

 

[cookie-monster]

Any interesting high street deals on ps4 consoles?

 

[YoshiStrife]

Heads up to anyone buying the cheaper version of Bayonetta 2 thinking they will be getting Bayonetta 1 with it...

There will actually be two SKUs - the £30 version with Bayo 2, and the more expensive version which contains Bayo 2 and 1.

From base.com:
https://twitter.com/base_com/status/507475843392626688

Hi, I'm really sorry but we have just spoke to Nintendo and they have let us know there is going to be 2 different SKUs ...

So the one at 29.99 won't come with Bayonetta 1. You are welcome to cancel your order. Sorry again for any inconvenience!

 

[foobarry81]

Oh, well. base.com has it for 30pounds and without the crazy ass postage fees.

So preorder cancelled and preordered again.
http://www.base.com/buy/product/bayonetta-2-wii-u/dgc-bay2wiiu.htm

btw. base.com ships items >18pounds from UK, which means no customs. They also charge right before shipping.

Ninty, I would still like some awesome Special Edition. Come on, we both know that you want the monies.

There are 2 versions on Shopto, one with and one without Bayo1.

Guys! Base.com are officially clueless... (sorry I posted this yesterday, they looked like they knew what they were talking about)

They want to get rid of the 30pound orders. Nice try

Actually I remember Nintendo wanting to have 2 versions. One PEGI 16, which is Bayonetta 2 only and the other PEGI 18, which is Bayonetta 1+2.

EDIT: on their page it still says: "Bayonetta comes packed in with the purchase of every retail packaged version of Bayonetta 2."

What do I do, what do I do. Maybe I should order at amazon.co.uk as well.

 

[The_Monk]

Hello my good GAFfers!

Anyone remember that deal on ROME II Collector's Edition posted some pages back? I made an order right when it was posted but only after finishing the order I realized that, not only they state that they don't ship that Collector's Edition to any country besides UK, but also, any order above 1KG (1000gr) will not be shipped as well. Because I saw this late on their page when I checked my bank I already had some money on hold. I sent them an e-mail stating the problem requesting the refund and to cancel the order since it was not possible to ship to my destination.

After one day they said the order was shipped, after two days they answered my e-mail stating the same. Today I got the package and it's well above 1KG. In fact, it weights exactly 4.112KG and they managed to send it. The package arrived in mint condition, only a bit of the plastic wrapper was cut but the box itself is simply in perfect shape. Thank you for the GAFfer that posted the deal, I may take one photo later on, very happy with these items.

So you're a gambling man? ;-)

 

[jimi_dini]

So you're a gambling man? ;-)

Nah, I'm waiting for the Nintendo Direct. Ninty should tell us the truth. Then amazon + base will hopefully change it accordingly. And then I can still cancel.

Just ordered it as well from amazon. The amazon page explicitly says "includes Bayonetta 1". I guess we should make screenshots heh

 

[YoshiStrife]

So is Nintendo giving the wrong message out here, if they're still saying EVERY retail box of Bayo 2 comes with Bayo 1?

But there definitely are two SKUs right?

I can say with some confidence that the PEGI 16 versions won't include the first game.

 

[YoshiStrife]

So Nintendo's sending out the wrong message, great stuff.

 

[johnnyquicknives]

I can say with some confidence that the PEGI 16 versions won't include the first game.

The amazon page marks the rating as unknown and specifically states it include bayo 1. I've stuck a preorder in anyway and if it needs cancelled then I'll cancel it.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

I hope both Amazon and base get in touch with customers when official word happens explaining how the description has changed (when they do after the direct). I'm sure they won't though. In which case if you want bayo2 only keep on eye out on Amazon warehouse deals about a week after release as I expect a lot of returns (returns have different description to trade-ins, years ago I got factory sealed games from them).

Amazon may like to lose money though and just bump people to special edition since their description was unclear. Still maybe if NOE announced SKUs in advance like every other publisher or retailers had a brain (NOE site said special edition since E3...yes it was unclear that special edition would be separate SKU).

Guys! Base.com are officially clueless... (sorry I posted this yesterday, they looked like they knew what they were talking about)

Ever since my situation with Amazon regarding The Sky (pre-orders open on product they would never get as their allocation was long sold out) I always assume support just look at the website and know nothing else

It was still worth taking the plunge on the pre-order but totally understandable why you may just cancel it.

 

[Canis lupus]

Please note: the special edition is rated PEGI 18 as it includes Bayonetta

But you can't order the Pegi 18 version anywhere lol.

So is Nintendo giving the wrong message out here, if they're still saying EVERY retail box of Bayo 2 comes with Bayo 1?

That message was only for Americans, for Europe they always stated only the SE includes Bayo 1.

 

[Chaos]

Amazon are usually good if there has been an error they usually honour it.

 

[YoshiStrife]

But you can't order the Pegi 18 version anywhere lol.

Yeesh, all these messages everywhere. With how much American and European news gets transferred over the internet, it's tough to know what's what sometimes.

 

[tsab]

Wait a minute, so I should cancel my preorder of Bayo from zavvi?
I had it pre-ordered since september 2013


edit: just sent an inquiry. hopefully they'll answer by tomorrow

 

[Shantom]

Wait for the Nintendo Direct tonight. There's a small possibility that they'll decide to include Bayo 1 with every edition. If not, you'll need to get the special edition.

There is a direct for PAL also?

Good point. NOE have been advertising it, but I guess it could just be identical to the US one.

It was still worth taking the plunge on the pre-order but totally understandable why you may just cancel it.

My experience with Amazon is that if an error with the description is on their end, they will honor it regardless.

Unless the Special edition is exclusive to a specific retailer, there should be no problems bumping everyone up.

Also it could a situation like anarchy reigns, where there were two SKUs, but the only one you could buy anywhere was the limited edition. The standard edition effectively didnt exist.

 

[jimi_dini]

There is a direct for PAL also?

Today, 23:00 (UK-time)

 

[cookie-monster]

Shop to have both versions listed

 

[RiggyRob]

Sheeeit, I've been on the fence about preordering Bayonetta 2 for a while - looks like I should just preorder the £32 deal on Amazon, take a screenshot of the description as proof it includes Bayonetta 1, and then see what the Direct actually confirms, right?

 

[Addnan]

.

Better not change it.

 

[tsab]

Good point. NOE have been advertising it, but I guess it could just be identical to the US one.

Today, 23:00 (UK-time)

Thanks for the replies. Midnight for Central Europe thought, hope it worth it.

Spoiler

Yes it is!

 

[Eolz]

Pretty sure it was stated Bayo1+2 would be a special edition in europe yeah (different age ratings).
Don't preorder nintendo products when there isn't a nintendo direct giving more details.
Look at Hyrule Warriors for example.

 

[wotter]

Hello my good GAFfers!

Anyone remember that deal on ROME II Collector's Edition posted some pages back?

I have finally received mine today after a week, I was getting worried lol (I'm in Belgium btw).
Still can't believe it was only 19.99 pounds, and it is still in stock!
I'm happy ^^

 

[PlayerReady]

Hi, can you let me know the response you get, I have it ordered with zavvi as well.

 

[Shadow Ranger]

Anyone on the fence for Bayo 2 (or any pre-order) because of the uncertainty, if the price is low just pre-order it and cancel if things change/you change your mind. A small hassle for a possible deal is worth it.

 

[Yazan]

Best price for bravely default?

 

[toythatkills]

Best price for bravely default?

There was an Argos deal a few pages back that you may or may not get lucky with

 

[Starwolf_UK]

142/8117, have to do in store. Doubt there are any left in the whole country.

Download codes £30 is a good price, physical game is rarely seem in stock but can sometimes be a little more when it is.

 

[evilvort3x]

i wouldnt bother with argos deal. i got 2 local to me and that was within a 60 mile radius

 

[Danj]

aww yiss my Danganronpa 2 shipped today from Amazon. I know what I'll be playing tomorrow evening!

 

[NateDog]

Any good offers on Pvz: Garden Warfare for PS3 guys?

Ok, Nintendo Direct just told us that there are actually 3 editions.

Regular Edition (Bayonetta 2 only)
First Press Special Edition (Bayonetta 1+2), which is limited as well
Book Of Angels Limited Edition (Bayonetta 1+2, Special Packaging, Artbook)

So I will cancel everything and order the Book LE

Where did you get it so fast, I wanted to post it

Oh my, the ugly USK 18 logo ruins it a bit, but I don't care.

Is it? I thought the Book of Angels one was limited to 15,300 copies.

Well, it's first print. So I guess it's limited When Nintendo says First Print or Limited Edition, they actually mean it.

Typical - Nintendo JP and Nintendo US already got the Direct on youtube. Nintendo UK doesn't.

EDIT: Nintendo Germany got the video on youtube.

It's really 3 editions.

[foobarry81]

OK, some clarification. There ARE indeed 3 versions:

- Book of Angels version (with fancy book)
- Special Edition (which contains B1 and B2 on disc)
- Solus Edition (just B2)
