I can confirm Mario Kart 8 works with a Wii Pro Controller.

Yep, this is the only list with compatible games I could find, no idea how accurate it is. I tested my CCP with MK8 and Bayonetta 2 so far and it works. Will test later with Smash, but I'm sure it works in that game, too.
 
Really starting to get frustrated with videogamebox.co.uk. Preordered the Bayo 1+2 bundle long before release. Got sent the Bayo 2 solus edition instead. They then cheekily wanted to give me a £5 gift voucher and let me keep the single game. I suggested to them to just open up a bundle, take out Bayo 2 and send the rest to me. Took them over a week to supposedly send it. 3 weeks after that and I STILL don't have the rest of my purchase. God knows if they have actually sent it or not, it is beyond ridiculous. Sent them another message 3 days ago and they haven't even bothered to reply to me.

I might get the Gold Wii controller. Just wanted to ask how well does it work with Bayonetta? and Smash?
Will get one if you report good feedback.

The list is accurate but not complete as lots of games nobody cares about might support it but it just flies under the radar. For the noteworthy games, the list is as good as it gets.

I've only got a Wii U (no original Wii) - is the Classic Controller Pro compatible with many (any?) games?

A Wii U Pro Controller would be a better choice (nippon-yasan.com) for a similar price.

Wii U Pro Controller may be a better choice, BUT the Wii U Pro Controller doesn't work for Wii games on Wii U. So if you want to use backward compatibility to play Wii games (which would make sense, so many gems out there), then that controller would be the better choice.

And it's a gold one.
 
For people in Finland and other places with CDon.com (I think?), there are some pretty sweet prices and free shipping for orders above 10€.

Destiny 32.95€
Alien Isolation 29.95€
DriveClub 32.95€
Metro Redux 21.95
X-Men Days of FUture PAst 7.95€ (Blu-ray)
Edge of Tomorrow 7.95€ (Blu-ray)
 
Not sure if this is allowed, but anyone who's after an Assassin's Creed Xbox One Bundle that has literally been used for an hour (both game codes unused), let me know.

I bought a One on impulse today in GAME and I'm not a fan =/

Try in the B/S/T thread in community too, but it can be difficult to sell European stuff in there sometimes.
 
I opened it.. I'm pretty sure GAME doesn't take back opened consoles.


Pretty sure they don't have a choice. You're well within your consumer rights to demand a refund within 28 days of purchase. (or it might be seven, I always forget which one it is).

Keep it a bit longer, bit to early to rule judgement over it.

I'd also recommend this. 30 minutes isn't really enough to make such a drastic decision.

Only from mail order I think - 7 days distance selling regs. If you buy at retail where you can supposedly inspect the goods, you have no immediate right of return.

Nah, unfortunately as soon as the product is open it's exempt from the 28 Day return policy. On the back of all the receipts.

But seriously get some games for that thing, Xbox One is a great console. Sunset Overdrive has kept me going for ages.

Huh, I had no idea. I thought the 7 day rule (thanks for correcting that by the way) applied to both online and retail.

Ah well, seems like more reason to keep it for a little while longer and see if it clicks.

Haven't read the back of a receipt in a long, long time. Thanks for correcting me, apologies for the bad info. Always thought the 7/28 day grace period applied to everything apart from hygiene and cosmetics products.

Even in that case I believe stuff has to be unopened. It's a "cooling off" period in case you change your mind, as soon as you open something then your mind is considered made up.

It has to be returned in the original condition, so, unopened.

Thanks for that, something I'll definitely have to keep in mind when it comes to unwanted Christmas presents.
 
I'll see how things go guys but my first impressions aren't great.

Considering I only paid £260 for the bundle, I really shouldn't be complaining at all.

Just give it a little more time.

Personally I've had a PS4 since launch and only got an Xbox One within the last two months and I honestly prefer the One after getting used to it.
 
In France, 7% off on the highest item in your shopping cart (Materiel.net). Deal lasts until tomorrow 9am. Good deal if you're wanting a pricey PC.
 
So I bought a PS4 from Game last night at their midnight opening, Driveclub bundle with TLOU download, and exchanged Driveclub for Shadow of Mordor.
Didn't have a chance to open it until tonight, and there's no download code anywhere. Not in the bag, not in the box, not with my receipt. Panicking now as I don't know if I misplaced it or if they even gave me one to begin with.
Anyone else get this bundle? Where was the card/code?
 
Does anyone know if Gamestop.co.uk ships to European countries besides UK? In the terms and conditions they say they do but the only option for the country in the address is United Kingdom.

Well they're based in Ireland, so I should think so. Have you tried one of the European Gamestops? I believe they're the same price most of the time.

Yeah I tried but Wolfenstein is a lot cheaper in the UK store than Gamestop.ie. Maybe next time. Thanks for the help.

It prints out as a separate code on its own receipt.
 
Just a bit of paper? I definitely don't have one, just the regular receipt. Bummer.

It's a second receipt with the game code. Ring game or use their online chat - they may be able to help you out, they might be able to get the code which was printed or was supposed to be printed(Given that you have the original receipt and the code hasn't already been redeemed)...Their customer services is normally good.

EDIT- Ringing them may be better.http://www.saynoto0870.com/search.php -> May be of use.
Let us know how you get on.
