Damn came in here looking for cheap "the order 1886" deals but appears I've missed out.

Struggling to find it under £50. Even the exchange rate is causing it to be 40 ish on the U.S. PSN which is less appealing than the 34-36 we had a few weeks ago.

Here you go.

http://www.rakuten.co.uk/shop/thegamecollection/product/13405/?l-id=gb_search_product_2

Use code FEBGIFT10 to get it for £39. Game Collection have very good reviews everywhere, and I just rang them to see if it went through, and they picked up straight away. I just switched my Xtra-Vision order to them now.

I can vouch for thegamecollection. Great service, prices and I almost always get the games early or at the very least on release day.

The Order: 1886 is available to buy at SimplyGames through Rakuten for £36.85, as long as you use the £10 off code FEBGIFT10 at checkout. I cancelled my order at Xtravision and went for this instead, because the last time I went with SimplyGames, I got the game four days before it came out. Seriously, I was among the first people on NeoGAF to be playing Bioshock Infinite.

Dudes, how do I cancel an order with xtra-vision? I can only get onto their site with my phone, but can't find a way to see my account and/or existing orders.

Also, I've ordered two things from The Game Collection previously and they've been great in both instances. Definitely vouch for them.

Sent them a message yesterday, they've yet to respond.

I'm not sure how valuable this information is to non-norwegians, but here goes:

Platekompaniet.no has a special valentine-promotion 25% off (yes, also for games) if you use the offer code

PK-VAL

I got Bloodborne for 411 NOK with this code

Thanks for the reminder. Finally ordered a copy of Bayo 1/2 for myself so I won't have to borrow my friend's all the time.

Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate (3DS) - 5pounds @ tgc (only today, 4 hours left)

 

[Cronen]

Does anyone have any experience using GAME.co.uk? My New 3DS has now been listed as 'shipped'. Even got an email to say so. Does this mean it has now been handed over to DPD? Can I expect this tomorrow or Thursday?

Does that "not been listed" mean "now"? If so, you'll probably get a follow up email later tonight/tomorrow morning with a tracking number and a one hour window for delivery.

Whoops! Definitely meant 'now'. I may have to leave a note on the door asking for them to deliver next door then! Thanks.

DPD are actually pretty cool. Wait for the tracking details to come through and you can tell them to deliver to a neighbour or safe place online.

On Rakuten, why can't I use FEBGIFT10 on Bayonetta 1 + 2 Special Edition?

Ah, you're on play.com. It has to be on rakuten.co.uk itself.

Thanks for this. How is this website? Are they like Game or do they send sealed games? Hoping to get this for one of my nieces. Any other good 3DS deals would be appreciated.

Ah I see. I'll go for the Argos deal and maybe trade in FIFA 13.

Never had a problem. "new" means sealed. At least my orders were.

For you? no
For customer service? yes

You would have to contact customer service. In this case however I wouldn't risk it. Majora's Mask LE is sold out. Which means if they fuck out, you are out of luck.

Thanks. Very undecided what to do

 

[vientown]

has anyone seen any good deals on Wii Us recently? i know that the starter/8gb bundles frequently go for as low as £90 but i can only see them for £140-50. refurb is fine.

They were going for £90 beforehand because it was a stock clearance for the Basic model rather than sale. Therefore the chances of grabbing one at that price will be quite slim.

I'm being charged €4 to deliver a 3DS.

 

[illusionary]

Any UK types have anything good to say about preorders with The Game Collection? They're the cheapest I can find Majora and Monster Hunter but ideally I'd need at least one to arrive on Friday as I'm going away.

They've always been excellent in my experience - and often have some great prices as well!

 

[jimi_dini]

around 4EUR.

Thanks. It's getting more and more difficult to hold out. The only reason I'm getting it is because of the 9.0 firmware and the hopes of one day being able to play all my NTSC-US games on it.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

The Game collection has apparently shipped my copy of the order 1886 so thats good service.

Holy fuckballs. I really really really hope I get the same treatment!

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Well I got that email this morning, so check yourself.

 

[Volotaire]

The price is included in that quote I provided, so £119 altogether if you pay in GBP. I'm finding it very hard to not go for that at that price. I mean it probably won't fall significantly in the UK for a few months. At best, a bundled game with retailers.

Also, the only thing I want out the Nintendo UK bundles is the Skull Kid Figurine. Nothing else particularly interests me , and I wouldn't be playing MM3DS from the right off.

 

[The Red Wizard]

You can currently do that on any firmware.

re: The Game Collection

They just dispatched my Majora's Mask order.

They've always been excellent in my experience - and often have some great prices as well!

Yes! Two despatch emails for me today - one Majora's Mask and one Monster Hunter, and they were both under £30 delivered. If either comes tomorrow I might finally have found a replacement for ShopTheSecond who were formerly kings of low prices and pre-release delivery. I might well be so delighted I forget to go in to work.

Anyone know if the game, manual and box would be in French? (importing to the UK)

 

[Fisico]

I'm being charged &#8364;4 to deliver a 3DS.

Well you're lucky, every time I ordered from Amazon UK to ship in France shipping was at least twice this price

 

[TheMoon]

Anyone know if the game, manual and box would be in French? (importing to the UK)

the big 3DS games tend to be multilingual (MH would be one of those) and the box and manual (which will not exist anyway because it's 2015) will be in French obviously.

 

[Pancakes R Us]

You can currently do that on any firmware.

Only with cart games, not eShop ones, from what I understand...unless that's changed?

 

[Bill Rizer]

Manual: n/a

That will be slow shipping though. Rapide is a lot more

 

[DagsJT]

Not too bad, that's 2-3 days as opposed to 1-2 business days for three times that price.

 

[Angel Abaddon]

Not too bad, that's 2-3 days as opposed to 1-2 business days for three times that price.

I ordered using Rapide (the slower one), still looks like I'm getting it either Saturday or Monday, which suits me fine with it being £32 cheaper.

Yep, same here. For €4, that seems pretty good to me.
