welp, that was it...

Majoras Mask 3DS, both the special edition game and the new 3ds all sold out in the known sites, amazon, saturn, 4u2play.de in Germany.

I hope you people didn't hesitate to preorder. These things are going to be quite expensive come feb 13.

i couldnt snatch the majoras mask 3ds.
i seriously hope, nintendo produces another batch, because iam already mad about that one, though i hope to see and find a majoras mask in the wild....
 
Just wanted to say thanks, as I've just bought this from gamedealdaily for about £13.70. Just need to link my US account to my PS4 now!

How does this site work? Do I need to register a U.S. address or will they just email the code to the paypal address I use?

Edit: also, has anyone used this site for their US PSN cards? They sell $10 cards for $8.99 so you can essentially get 10% off games if you order a few cards. Doing this I could pre-order Bloodborne for $54 or about £36 it seems?
 
I signed up for a stock notification for the Wii U pro controller on Nippon-Yassan and received emails for both the black and white. But they were out of stock when I went to the site. Is this a bug or are they being sold out that quickly?

They are being advertised all over the place by people saying that they're the cheapest you can get one, so I wouldn't be shocked if it sold out that quick.

and scalpers have flooded ebay with preorder auctions of the steelbook game... there are so many that I think some auctions will sell at near retail price so anyone wanting the special edition of the game should probably look around for failed auctions by moronic scalpers.

the new 3DS though... not many and most near 300 euro, fuck that. you can nearly buy a PS4 with that money
 
Ive found the Elder Scrolls Online Collectors Edition for 34.99 GBP @ Amazon UK

Seems like a steal content wise, especially that its going no sub.

I agree that this is a good deal particularly for the updated Emperor's Guide to Tamriel, a massive lore book presented in the form of a narrative with gorgeous artwork and bound in leather. It's wondrous. The statue of Molag Bal looks nice, but is made of pretty cheapy plastic. Who knows what good the DLC included will have in the B2P version, though.
 
Any decent prices on Bloodborne and The Order in the UK?

365 Games are fucking useless and cancelled my order for no particularly good reason.
 
Just a heads up Amazon france have reduced the new 3ds xl black to 184 euro.
Around £144 for UK peeps.

normal n3DS is 154 euro, or £120. 15 euro postage though for the normal one.

Still makes it £130 vs £150 from amazon uk or game. Surprised amazon UK haven't properly updated their site yet. Fingers crossed for a small discount there. Although I could trade my XL in for £96 at GAME, I could probably sell it for that a bit later on.

Not sure you'll get that trade value at Game for long. Their upgrade offer is £110 plus an XL for a new XL which means they're only giving you £70 for the old one.

A bit disappointed as I upgraded from a standard 3DS to an XL for only £70 when that launched. Had hoped for a similar offer here but no luck. Would have bitten on an upgrade at £70 but £110 is a little too high for me

£90 trade in at CEX,Munich game will beat by £1. So £59 for an upgrade to a n3DS
 
Asked this in the OT but got no reply - has anyone here bought a US digital code for the Last of Us Remastered? Just about to bite on that $19.99 copy but I'm wondering - is the multiplayer region locked? I know there were censorship issues with the multiplayer on the EU version so I wasn't sure how they handled the matchmaking. Would rather pay a bit extra if the US version means I couldn't play with friends

No, mp is not region locked.
Besides, you'll be playing it with your usual profile.

Won't send to Sweden it seems... :(

Strange, AFAIK shipping to Sweden is €5 + 1.30€ per item (or was it per Kg, can't remember...).
It's not a marketplace seller either, it's Amazon proper... dunno why is that, sorry mate

You need a PSN account registered to a US address, but they're really not fussy about that as long as the address is legit. Maybe use a Microsoft address for the sake of immaturity, one of their divisions at their Redmond HQ: FUSE Labs, Microsoft, Bldg. 112, 14865 N.E. 36th Street, Redmond, WA 98052-5321. Once this account is set up (I can't remember how to do this through your Playstation, but I remember it being simple and I'm sure you'll find guides through Google) all you need to do is drop the code into US PS Store and download. Bear in mind however that it's something crazy like 43GB total! Although you choose what you'd like to play first and can start the campaign, multiplayer or Left Behind after a partial download.

EDIT - I think I've misunderstood your question. You don't need to register, and they will email to the address you have through Paypal.

There are no restrictions on the MP, but before you can play start it on your US account as there is an additional mandatory download, I think it was the Abandoned Territories DLC.

Also, if you're planning on doing this, might as well do it ASAP while you can use that 10% off code to get another $6 off Bloodborne.
 
Edit: Temporarily out of stock but Amazon UK do have Zelda A Link Between Worlds for £24.99: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CETU384/
No idea who they were matching or if whoever it was has stock left.

BUT

I want to buy it and I can't because I don't have enough space on my SD.

Come on Ninty, are you stupid or what.
If the lack of free space is you small (unlikely as SMTIV is almost 2gb, remember you can divide blocks by 8 for an approximation of mb then divide that 1024 for an approximation of gb) you can delete some software to make room. Now I understand save files are a concern but you can backup saves with the save backup tool (hit the < arrow on a piece of software next to the manual button, you can also access it in data management in system settings) and I believe deleting software prompts this backup too.

Otherwise, as much as I despise the downland needs to start for purchase to complete policy I also really hate how the checks are funds then free space on 3DS (on Wii U it is free space then funds and there they actually tell you space on the store page in your face)...I may have gotten 3DS and Wii U the wrong way around, been a while since I ran into either.
 
Ignoring my last post, I have another idea. New Rakuten.co.uk accounts get £5 worth in superpoints (within five days of the account opening), and you also get £10 off a £40 spend with one merchant using the code JANGIFT10. The Order is listed on there twice for £52 and £53, but using these codes you should be able to get £15 off and make it £37 or £38. I've just created a new account, so I'll see when my £5 worth of points arrive and report back.

Ok awesome. Appreciate the updates dude. Let me know when you get the £5 worth of points. Still holding out for a £40 pre-order deal. There's usually always one before a game is released.

I'm still waiting on those £5 in Superpoints. I don't know whether they've sussed that I'm not a new customer therefore I don't qualify, as it does say on the site new customers, not new accounts. The JANGIFT10 voucher is only valid until midnight Sunday, so if they haven't given me the Superpoints by then I'll probably go ahead and order anyway.

I see. Well I guess I have until Sunday for a better dal to turn up. Still hoping for a £40 or less pre-order price.

You should keep an eye on the buy/sell thread I picked up a US code from a gaffer for $17
