zavvi.nl definitely sends out PEGI/UK versions? I mean does Nintendo even release localized manuals and covers in the Netherlands?

It seems they ship to everywhere within Europe (except bulky stuff). Captain Toad for 31.50EUR is best price atm.

They do. E.g. Pokémon games definitely have Dutch covers. Probably a good deal of other games too. Remember how they´re also targeting young children who likely do not understand English yet. So stuff on the box should be understandable.

But you never ordered from zavvi.nl? I guess they ship out the PEGI/UK ones, but who knows. I don't want to risk that for a few bucks unless someone can confirm that zavvi.nl sells those.

EDIT: Nooooooo. BLACKFRIDAY15 is not valid anymore :( Shame on me.

They only ship UK versions :P.

Zavvi NL is Zavvi UK but with a Dutch language layout(the same thing with Zavvi ES with a Spanish language layout). This means that every game Zavvi NL sells, are the same game as they sell on Zavvi UK.

Sorry, cannot confirm. I only ordered once from zavvi.nl, but it was a game that was released in English only in Europe.

Hey guys, is there anyone from the UK who can help me out? I'm waiting for ages on a good Wii U bundle, which is also affordable and I came across this Wii U Party bundle with Mario Kart 8 and Super Mario 3D World on Amazon UK. The problem is, they don't accept Paypal and only credit or debit cards which I don't have. The solution would be using those Amazon UK gift cards I can buy online, which would have been fine if they didn't add another £1,67 -___- in shipping cost to the Netherlands.

The cheapest Amazon gift card I can buy online is €32,99 (£25), which I don't really want to buy, just to cover the £1,67 in shipping cost... So if there is some kind person out there from whom I can buy it through Paypal, please let me know!

This should let you enter exactly how much you want to buy as a gift voucher - so £202

Everything I've ordered so far from zavvi.nl have been the UK versions, or the overall EU versions of games.
Never have I gotten a Dutch copy of a game from them as far as I recall.
Only Bol.com sends out Dutch versions of games with the blue triangle instead of the UK green one.

I ordered Halo MCC about a week ago from them. Order placed on a Friday and the game arrived either Tuesday or Wednesday this week. They seem fine from my experience so far, they're linked to HMV in some way too.

Bol.com is an actual Dutch company. (Well, I guess technically the Bertelsmann holding is German, but the company behind the online .com store is Dutch. I think the Zavvi.nl site is just a translated store front of a UK company, much like WOW HD´s or 365games´s different store fronts)
 
On the topic of different EU versions of games, would I be able redeem Final Fantasy X-2 using the code from the UK physical release on the Dutch PSN store?

Makes sense then. :)

Also for the people not getting the code to work. I would give it a try later on.
Last night after midnight when the code was supposed to be active, I couldn't get it to work either, yet a good half hour later it did activate.
Not sure how that's even possible, but still.

That works 100%
Just did it myself on the Belgium one as I forgot to redeem the code when I bought the game a couple months ago...

Just be careful with DLC, especially from Sony first party games.
The Killzone DLC for instance is region locked within Europe, so even a UK version will need a UK account to redeem DLC since Benelux DLC isn't compatible.
Few games use this system thankfully, but in the past games like Uncharted were affected by this as well.
 
Still happy with my solo PS4 for £250, seeing all these deals it had me thinking, then I realised that I have all the good bundled games already!

Took my defective machine back for refund last night, no questions asked in store. So £135 up thanks to John Lewis.
 
Very tempted by the Wii U basic bundle for £199.

Hadn't considered the basic model before. Is storage space the only difference (other than colour, obviously) between the basic and premium models? This bundle includes Nintendoland which was the only other difference I was aware of.

It's missing:
- sensor bar (is included in US Wii U Basic bundles, but removed from EU bundles), but is included in the Amazon and Just Dance bundles, since it's needed to play those games (Just Dance and/or Wii Party U).
- gamepad stand
- gamepad charging dock
- Wii U stand
- Deluxe Digital Promotion

I take it you're talking about the Amazon UK deal? At least you'll get a Wiimote+ with it.

The Just Dance and Amazon bundles do come with the sensor.

Extremely close to pulling the trigger on this...

Is there any place that has Dualshock 4 for 30£ (and ships to Estonia?)
GAME have it on their website, but it is unusably slow at the moment, won't let me check out.
e:nevermind, got it after multiple tries

Wolfenstein is nice at that price. Not a mindblowing game but for 15€ it is good.

How is Wii Party U compared to Nintendoland (which I already have) ? Fun with friends ?

The code is valid on my end, Couldn't find the UK on the drop down list, but I might be blind.

On my end it says: "De kortingscode die je hebt ingevoerd is niet geldig. Kortingscode loopt af op: 28 Nov 2014 08:00"

But right, I just looked through the sourcecode of the order page. UK is nowhere to be found, although some of the JavaScript code still checks for UK.

Strange, might be a cache thing, I opened a new tab and the code still works, but yeah no dice in regards to finding UK for shipping, oh well. I guess I might flubit Captain Toad since the retail price is already nice. General codes used to work on Zavvi pre-orders way back when right? I used to use them all the time, a shame :(
