Is there anywhere I can still buy, or even order, Smash with the GC adapter. Should I just buy the game on its own? I can probably wait a week or two.
Click to expand...

the game is available in every retailshop in germany, but the bundles with amiibo, gc controller or the adapter are out of stock everywhere.
amazon prices are skyhigh near 100 euros.

and my order will be sent out on the 4th. iam glad that i got one, but iam super pissed, that it got delayed by a week. what a bummer.

Captain Toad on amazon.co.uk is now down to £25. What a bargain! Roll on 2nd Jan!
Click to expand...

Despite this being a Nintendo game, I think it might drop in price a fair bit (since it's not Mario, Zelda, Pokemon etc and its RRP is lower than usual anyway). The other alternative is that it just disappears like Tropical Freeze, but hopefully that doesn't happen.

Amazon are so terrible with preorders that I don't know whether to risk it.

Amazon have been great for me whenever they haven't used Yodel as the delivery method.

can someone please tell me if bf4 and bf4 premium is still on sale on xbox one store, i may have to buy gold if it is


thanks

I don't know how much it is/was on gold but it's £17 new at GameStop UK (15 + 2 delivery, free delivery when you spend over £20) and it's £15 pre owned at GAME.

You can never have too many options :)

EDIT - This is base game only. Not premium.

Anyone experiencing slow shipping with Videogamebox.co.uk? Had a game dispatched first class on Wednesday 26 November & it's still not arrived, whilst other first class items have already arrived.

I made a post the other day about them and how my Bayonetta 2 order still hasn't arrived. I got this email when contacting their support for the millionth time.

This has cost us over £40 with the game and postage already.

I'll ring Royal Mail on Monday for you. Hopefully they can advise on a more accurate time scale.

Kind regards

Cry me a river. Starting to doubt if they even have sent it. Last time I order with them.
 
Unless the saving is huge and/or it is a low priority item, I'm not going to be ordering from Flubit any more. Three times in the past week, I've ordered something, only for it to be cancelled. Explained by a generic email about "stock levels" The most recent item made it to "awaiting dispatch" status, so I thought all was well. But nope, cancelled. And now it's too late to even get it at the previous Amazon price. Really irritating. Between this, the longer wait times, and more fuss with returns, it really isn't worth it in most cases.
 
Is there anywhere that will sell physical FIFA branded PSN cards? Went into GAME and they have the on display but at the till you just get a code on a receipt. Really sucks as a gift.
 
-25% at the NISA Europe store with the code:
NISA_EU_BLACKFRIDAY25%

Sadly, the shipping costs to other countries than the UK are insane. And no persona q standard edition.

Missed a "for". Yeah, kaguya isn't included was what I meant.

Not only that, but:

Online Game Code: Currently, this item is available only to customers located in the United Kingdom and who have a UK invoice address.

*sigh*

It's a physical game code which is delivered to you(why it's cheaper than the digital code I have no idea) and will only work for UK accounts.

Used it to see what it would get the Danganronpa 2 CE down to, but it doesn't even work on it lol. How silly.

They can continue to not get my money.

Also they don´t ship some of their stuff to most of Europe.

Only non-EU countries (UK being the exception) and Middle-East, Russia, South Africa and Oceania.

Yeah, it's shocking.

How naive I was a few years back when I thought it couldn't get worse than them not releasing CE's in Europe and having to import from their US store.

Now I wish I could continue to import from them. >.>

Amazon.it's warehouse deals is selling the Wii U's GAMEPAD - HIGH CAPACITY BATTERY for €18!
It says "used in excellent conditions" but I just got mine and it's new, just the box was slightly dented on a corner. And of course you can return it free of charge if you aren't satisfied with what you get.

Edit: there were 4 of them 2 hours ago, now it's just 1 left, you better hurry if you want it.

Battlefield 4 xbone under £21 at argos
Click to expand...

I despise the concept of not really owning games, but for a game like this one then (IMO) anyone interested in BF4 on the bone at this point would do better subscribing to EA Access.
Same price, and for a year you "rent" BF4, Peggle 2, Plant vs Zombies Garden Warfare, NFS Rivals, FIFA14, Madden 25 and 6 hours of Dragon Age's trial + more to come.

*IF* you're interested in BF4, I'd go for it since it's not like you'll have meaningful trade in value with vanilla BF4 next year.

If you don't have paypal or a cc to subscribe then GameStop is gonna sell EA Access yearly subs this month (or was it the next?)

I asked them for the gift card from the shelf as well when I bought some credit for someone's birthday earlier this year and they didn't seem to mind.
 
Quick question for those who used nippon-yasan.com to buy a wii U pro controller:
- Is choosing the ECO delivery option (way cheaper) reliable? If not which one would you recommend. Some options dont' make sense as they cost as much as the controller itself.
- Anyone had problems with EU import taxes/duty?

I ordered a Wii U Pro controller from them earlier this year. Shipped to Belgium with the cheapest possible delivery option.

They marked it down without me asking for it. It passed customs without any problems.

It took just 4 working days to arrive at my door.
 
Finally got my games (Dragon Age and Tales of hearts R) from WoW HD. When they finally shipped, it took 7 days (including SAT&SUN). Tales of Hearts R came with the pre-order stuff but not Dragon Age. The good thing is that the ToH R pre-order stuff was what I wanted to be included.

I will use them again, but not if I want a game to arrive day one.

I have a UK PSN account and I'm not from the UK (made it before my country got PSN).
I was talking about digital policy.
But no matter, digital or not, many other websites (GAME for example) actually send those codes to other EU countries. I don't understand Amazon's reasoning on this.
Or maybe that's Sony's call. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yikes that's disgraceful, heard some good things about their service but that's a seriously crabby and rude reply.

Yikes, I missed that post. Sorry to hear that. :( I've just noticed on their help page regarding missing items...


You will be then given a form to complete which shall be passed on to the necessary company (Royal Mail, DPD or Yodel). Please note; Replacements will be sent stating 'Replacement - Original not received' on the parcel and unfortunately we may have to delete your account. We're a small independent business and we cannot afford such losses, especially on more than one occasion. Our aim is to keep the price low as possible for our customers and we don't want to raise due to lost parcels.
Click to expand...

Delete your account?!

If we don't get any further, can our credit card provider/ Paypal help at all?
 
It's a shame, my other 2 orders with them came pretty fast. The way they have been responding to me though is less than satisfactory and very unprofessional. Said they would ring their local Royal Mail or whatever today and see what is up, haven't heard anything back though and I doubt I will unless I respond again. Feels like if I keep pushing it they will close my account or something.

Lol that guy should get fired. A company should never, ever ever complain to the customer how much something is costing them.
Click to expand...

Since he said "It already cost us £40" I´m starting to think he´s actually the company owner. :-) Gonna be tough firing himself. :-)

Must be a really small business.

Ah yeah, Amazon seem to do that, if you have the shipping address set to a UK address they'll let you purchase it - that's how it works on amazon US.
 
Does the price of the games on PSN Store go up? A lot of Square Enix games are on sale and are good price. Drakengard 3 is £19.99. I remember it being about £40 or £50. Tomorrow will Drakengard 3 go back to £40/50? Or it can only go from £19.99 and lower?
