You can get Drakengard 3 digital code in the US Square Enix Store site for $16 on sale if you have a US PSN account as well on your ps3 (super easy to make).
That's what I did, worked fine, fuck paying double, especially since it's a mediocre game apparently.

I don't understand your question, lol.
There's a bunch of "Anime" games on sale at the moment, once their two weeks sale period is up (which I think is Wednesday) the games all go back their original prices.

There is a slight "problem". I already own the US version of the game on disc. The only thing that interests me is the DLC. The DLC is expensive. I do not really want to make a USA account just to get the DLCs when it is the only games that could force me to make one. Everything else I want is available on the UK Store. Seeing the UK price is somewhat reasonable so I thought it is probably better to go with that. Unless of course the price is like £40/£50 and has not changed.
I mostly buy retail games than digital so I am "inexperienced". Most retail games goes down in price than up. I know some retail games go up in price but that is to with the rarity. This is non-existent with digital games as you can never run out of stock. It should only go down and not up.
I was hoping to get an answer from someone who regularly buy digital games than retail games and is experienced with the digital pricing and sales. I understand my questions may seem trivial or unorthodox but I just wanted some information.
It says on the store page:
"Special offer price valid from 19-11-2014 to 12am GMT 04-12-2014 (Was: £39.99 / 49.99 / AU $75.95 / BGN 99.90 / CZK 1399.00 / DKK 369.00 / HUF 14990.00 / NZ $79.95 / NOK 409.00 / PLN 209.00 / SEK 449.00 / USD $67.99 / ZAR 728.00 / HRK 379.99 / INR 4162.00 / TRY 148.99 / ILS 239.00)"

Some drop in price and some don't. I've noticed that PS3/PS4 games tend to drop more than Vita games though.
Sony's PS Store either has sales (only temporarily cheaper price, usually lasts from 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the sale) or the actual price drops (permanent drops in a game's price and will never go up again, but can then be sold at an even cheaper price during following sales). So something like Dragon Age Inquisition is 70€ right now. During some near-future sale, they might sell it at -20% for a week (with further -10% for PS+ers). Then, in 6+ months from now, they drop the price permanently to 34,99€ and in a month or two from that they might sell it 30-40% off for a week. At least on Vita, there's a completely separate submenu for those permanent price drops, don't remember right now if PS3 or 4 have the same. And temporary sales are always marked with "this price will be valid from XXXXX to YYYYY" text at the top of the description, which will be missing from price dropped games.

I'd recommend spending the extra and getting a 64gb. 16gb just isn't worth it.
I'll look into it then, as I'm after one for my PS TV. How much do games take up on average?
Typical games are between 1.5 and 3 gig , but patches can make them much larger and remember that a 16gb card probably gives you about 13gb free space so thats between 4 and 8 games ?
http://uk.ign.com/wikis/ps-vita/Vita_Games_Sizes has a reasonable list of games - the 'big' stuff on there like killzone at 3.3gb has around another 2 gigs worth of patches and updates so that by itself is more like 5
I think if you are serious about playing vita stuff then get a 64gb , if your unsure then look on Amazon or search on hotukdeals for one of the vita packs that get you a memory card and a digital code for some games (typically around £25 - £30 and then if you change your mind you'll still get something for the card and then could buy a 64gb)
Just a quick search on Vita stuff on hotuk deals
£20 for a 16gb card by itself from Tesco (no longer in stock) - that was a reasonable deal since the card is normally about £30
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/ps-vita-16gb-memory-card-20-free-store-tesco-direct-2031890
Cheapest I can find with stock now is Argos at £25
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/1338441.htm
But what you really want to do is try and find something like these which are the card + a game code - you'll probably pay closer to £30 but you'll get a number of bundled games
(note these are all expired but will give you an idea of what to look for and whats available)
Card + 10 games from shopto for £29.86 :

You won't regret following this advice. Even then my 64gb card is filling up quickly.
I'll vouch for Nippon Yasan, took five days for the card to arrive, and of course marked down to avoid customs fees!

Yup, 16gb isn't enough if you plan on gaming and not having to delete games every time you get a new one.
Nippon yasan whilst are good with their priced and shipping, have TERRIBLE customer services and so if there's anything wrong with the item they'll tell you impolotely to eff off. Of you want to buy from them, open a PayPal case immediately if there's anything wrong with the product-don't wait for them to 'contact the supplier /manufacturer' . Stuff takes 1-2 weeks to get her using SAL around Christmas time.
Thanks a lot for the info. I think I'll go for a 64GB memory card then, as it'll be better for me in the long run.
What is delivery like from Nippon Yasan?
I ordered mine just after Christmas last year and it took about 5 days or so (to the UK) , that seems similar to what others have reported
They also mark it down for customs (I think mine said memory card and was marked at $10 or similar)
Cheers. I'll be purchasing one tonight.

65 Euro including Smash Bros? That seems like a decent price given that it's going for around £65 here in the UK on its own. He can sell Smash Bros.

Not actually that important
I'll give him 40 for SB shipped
Btw my Wii U High Capacity Battery came in (18 on Amazon.it)
I'm sure there's not a huge difference in weight with the normal battery but goddamn if I can feel the difference, considering that the GP already isn't exactly a feather I'd say it now turns it into a brick, lol.
Hopefully I'll be able to adjust quickly 'cause the improvement is kinda huge, lasted more than double the time with Bayo 2/VC games.
I wish the Dualshock 4 had something similar, goddamn that controller is ridiculous, so inconvenient and doesn't even have a legit excuse for that
this is not the type of deal i would post but....
gamestop has a sale tomorrow:
cod:ghosts on any platform for 9,99€ in germany, austria and swiss.
only in shops, not online.
oh and it seems to be discussed if the wii u version is also in this deal or not since it is not included on the photo, so try your luck.

I could have sworn it was this price and out of stock when I'd been checking these past few weeks, as it is now. The £299 in stock one I also saw then and now is from a 3rd party seller.
Given Microsofts recent pricing and bundling policies, it was only a matter of time before they bundled the Xbox One.. with another Xbox One.

I missed out twice on a DS4 for 29.99 pounds + shipping over the last weekend. Do you guys think some UK retailers who ship to EU will have it for that price again during Christmas holidays, or is dropping prices for accessories by that much only a thing during BF week?

I've already agreed to go halves with a friend of mine, he's yet to purchase a current gen console, although I've been trying to convince him to go PS4
Indeed! Will see if this comes through or not..

Can you remember which shipping method you used?

Just waiting for them to cancel my order now
I ordered this too. Got on the phone to a rep this morning to clarify what I'll receive as it shows what's have in the screenshot in my orders tab online, just Xbone +Ass Creed in my invoice and it shows Xbone Holiday Bundle (Xbone + Forza) in my PayPal receipt,
The guy said he can't tell what has been sent until there's a tracking number and the order can't be cancelled now. Guess I'll just have to wait and see!

Is the Sony PlayStation Wireless Stereo Headset 2.0 the best headset for that price? I'm looking for something with atleast 5.1.
Cheapest I can find is Amazon for £60.

5.1, 7.1 and all that shit is pointless on a headset.
And unless you can find a Pulse Elite for that price like I did (offer no longer there and I do prefer them), it probably is the best bang for the buck. Although if you already have a good pair of headphones, just stick a mic on that bad boy.

Anybody else order this?
It was set as a December 5th release date, and that's what my delivery estimate has been showing (god knows why you need to preorder a bundle that has two year-old games included).
But now if you visit the store page, it says Unavailable to buy, and is listed at a December 12th release date... :/
keep us informed. would really like to know if ms actually sends out two of em.
btw. the gamestop deal was such a farce. next to no gamestop had wii u copies.
some even gamestop shops even had less than 5 ps4 copies. people wrote furious comments about this stupid deal.
even worse is that some gamestops sold the used version for a tenner.... how dumb are some customers???

I'm really not going to be able to find a cheap 3DS XL anywhere am I? Aka what do I get my girlfriend now?
You wait till the New 3DS is out. They're winding down stock now.
buying a nintendo system cheap for christmas??? nintendo items are hot items during the christmas season, brah.
but on the other hand: buy a 3ds system(or 2ds) and and smash or pokemon, register it and you get a game for free(as a download) there should be somewhere a list. i saw that ad running in retailers so i think this is quite a good deal.

Well yeah but I wanted to get her one for Christmas. Besides the new one is a bit of a white elephant until games are released that really benefit from it.
Edit: yeah the free game deal softens the blow a little (I would have got her Smash Bros and let her sort the free game). Last year they were frequently in the £120-150 range with a game. This year nothing but wallet pillaging.
