They don't send you import versions (Australian), but the ones pictured?
EDIT: Oh wait, coolshop also sells it for almost the same price. They don't have it in stock, but I trust coolshop far more.

They got it for 33EUR on one of their sites
And I got some bonus points from previous orders. Which gets it down to 31EUR.Ah it must be when you go through the order. I only tried applying the coupon.
I really enjoyed FC3 but just can't get into FC4 at all.
ahh cool I might hold off until it's lower in price then.

What a bloody bargain. I bought three of these from Argos last year at £9 and thought that was a fantastic deal (two as gifts, one for myself). This price is a steal.

I still find it funny that that coupon gives a £25 discount.
However, I've just tried using it and it's no longer valid. It's letting me check out as though the transaction is going through, and then knocking me back asking for a valid code.

Far Cry 4 is brilliant, especially with friends.
Failing that, I'd recommend Dragon Age.

Does anyone know if this will work with the PS3/4?
Mine works fine with my PS4.

Is there anywhere that still sells Nintendo/Wii Points? I want to buy something from the Virtual Console and for whatever reason it's not on the pointless Wii U version.

Why don't you pay by debit/credit card on the Wii U using the Wii mode?

I keep meaning to buy this when it's cheap so I can use it with my tablet, good price for a reasonable build keyboard.

One of the Amazon buyer reviews says that the person uses it on their PS3 and it works. Even gets recognised as Nintendo keyboard.
Even if you don't want the Pokemon game, this is a super-cheap bluetooth keyboard. I'm tempted to buy another.

Usually safer to order from Amazon when you want a copy like that. I'd rather pay a little more at Amazon and know that I'll get a sealed copy than to risk it with Game. Ugh.
Almost genius!
I'm 1,000 Stars short for what I need, though
How many Nintendo points do you need ?
I registered my star points for my Wii and never used them - then bought a 3ds and converted them to points not realizing that they could not be used on the 3ds so i have a few different 'cards' on the system which i dont think i have ever used
Your welcome to them if they work
GAME usually sends pre-orders still sealed, it's older titles that they don't always do that for.

I haven't actually checked but I'm assuming it's 800. It's for a SNES game. The Chrono Trigger thread yesterday made me want to play it again :lol

I dunno. Amazon UK sent me 2 (two) used copies of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. The second one was a resealed used copy though, so I guess that´s progress over GAME.
Also, I recently ordered an Amazon UK warehouse deal (PS2 game), which was marked as "Used - Good". Im reality it was just the disc in a replacement case. No manual, no box cover.
All sold by Amazon UK LLC, btw, no third parties.
I wouldn´t trust Amazon anymore than GAME nowadays. But I guess the odds are a little higher at GAME since they have brick and mortar stores where they gut copies.
Not really a great alternative, but if you own a DS or 3DS, you can still get that version for a fairly reasonable price.
Thanks. Great price for the keyboard alone.
Check your PM's and see if that works

Just experienced the same with my "new" copy of Ar no Surge ordered from GAME- not sealed, damaged box and ripped cover art. Seems they're back to their usual tricks, sent them a complaint a few days back and have yet to hear back from them.
I spoke to GAME about a similar issue that a few of us have had, and this is what they said:
I can't believe they are getting away with this!
Edit: I managed to get £5 worth of reward points. Not ideal as my last two orders have put me off GAME, but acceptable this time, as the item I bought was only £10.

Check the B/S/T thread on here as I got a legit copy of 8.1 from what I can tell for $40.

This should not be happening.
If anything, things should be labelled appropriately and accurately on their website. State clearly if the case is used and the disc is brand-new, but don't label products new if the whole package is half new, half destroyed.
I totally agree.

Again though, he's still got a brand new game and he got it for five quid (kind of) instead of the ten quid he was going to pay. He's actually come out of this deal pretty well!
I'm not sure you'd do anything differently in Game's position. The options they have are to sell the games as new (which they are) or sell them as pre-owned because they changed the case over and lose the money on them. They're probably going to lose more in "pre-owned" discount than they will in goodwill discounts, so they're going to carry on. Their website probably doesn't allow for them to differentiate between new and pre-owned and a new third option somewhere between the two.
If people are really offended then Game have made it pretty clear that they'll happily refund or come to some other arrangement, their customer service has been really good about this. If you're worried because you're overseas then you're better off just not buying from Game at all rather than complaining when you get what you were warned you might get.

Some people like to have everything in a new condition, for collection purposes or resale value or whatever. I understand for you only the game matters, but I don't see why you feel the need to argue this point again and again. People do care about it and getitng a refund or having to wait for an exchange is often not what people want and expect. It's a shitty practice by GAME, even if it doesn't affect you personally.

If people want a sealed game for their collection then obviously it's totally okay for them to complain about this, and Game will give them a refund or replacement (where possible) with basically no fuss at all.
I'm only talking about people who are buying games to play them, at which point getting an unsealed one is of no real difference to a sealed one if the condition is okay.
Would it be better if it didn't happen at all? Sure, but people are making mountains from molehills.
They are clearly misleading customers. When people want something New, they should get it in that condition. I might have got lucky in a sense this time, but if that happened with a new release, I would have been very angry. It's not acceptable no matter how you put it.

Or people could buy their games somewhere else in the first place, where it doesn't happen at all, like you suggested! Which is why this is brought up again and again, to warn people that this happens when you buy at GAME. I don't see the mountains.
If I want a cheap game in used condition just to play it I have many other options. If I buy new i expect "new". If there is a chance that I will get a used one instead, this should be very clearly pointed out during checkout.

Luckily my copies of Ar Nosurge and Atelier Rorona Plus that I bought in the sale were still in the official sealed PS3 wrapping but I can't say I wasn't worried that they would send me used copies. Getting an actual new item when it's being sold as 'NEW' shouldn't be a crapshoot. It's a joke.
Some posters were looking for Wii U's only (without games) for under £150. Tesco Direct with the new account code TDX-YGPK(only valid on new accounts) has it for £139. http://www.tesco.com/direct/wii-u-8...391.prd?skuId=456-9391&sc_cmp=tp4_aff_1018132

Cheers, I almost bought one every week in December but never pulled the trigger, but this one seemed good enough to finally do it...

Not actually that important
"No fuss at all" maybe IF you haven't got shit to do all day, but plenty of us here hold a job/uni and taking the time to contact cc, then arrange shipping the game back, then wait for a refund... only to finally go hunt another copy and start the purchasing and waiting process all over again... yeah, no fuss at all. And why? Just 'cause they're dishonest and try to sell opened games as sealed. Just bloody sell them for whatever condition they are in and let ME decide if it's worth the asking price. Man, corporate apologists are the worst.

Did Ubisoft not print enough verison of South Park:SoT PS3? Everywhere its cheap in the UK as far as I can tell, its sold out. Got it on backorder from Amazon for £15, but would like to have it sooner rather than later.
