Damn just bought DA2 for £10! Oh well only 2 quid. Not much for me in the Zavvi sale, just bought Enslaved for £10, tempted by Forza 3 Ultimate Edition for £10 though.

Shadows of the Damned is £10.95 at Zavvi and it says that it's "usually dispatched within a month". Is this a mistake or is there more stock of SotD coming? It would actually be better for me if I could order this now but not get sent immediately as I don't get paid until Thursday.

Might be true. Mine has been lost in the christmas trouble and havent received a customer service reply since 2 weeks.
 
Bulletstorm (360) £7.95 @ Zavvi.

I've seen deals on PS3 but haven't noticed 360 deals before so figured I'd post this (though I was looking for PS3 deals so that may be why). Playing this game right now and it's really good. I don't even like FPS's.
 
Does anyone know if I can pre-order on the HMV website and pick up in store? Want to pre-order the Vita (am I being paranoid? Chances of stock shortages of the 3G version?) but I'm going to trawl through a load of crap for trade so I'd rather do it all in store if I can.

HMV and HMV.com operate separably, no in store pick up options are available between the two. I personally do not think the Vita is going anywhere fast. You could pre-order the 3DS right up to release day and I expect the same here to - so it is best to wait for a cheap pre-order option...

....or the inevitable manic, chaotic, panic price drop.

HMV are reportedly in financial difficulties so you might wish to reconsider using HMV.

I should wait for the drop. We'll see...

It's only because their trade in prices are streets ahead of anything that GAME or GameStation offer me.
 
Hey guys, just wanted to ask if anyone know of any good places to get NTSC wii games. I'm currently looking at Amazon.com, Videogamesplus.ca and Play-Asia, so i was just wondering if i had missed a good website.

Amazon is probably my best bet, even if shipping is a bit expensive.

Well it would be hard not to! :P

I would probably use them too if I had that option where I currently live :)

I just wouldn't want you to lose any money if they go bust, you see. I would feel guilty if I hadn't bothered to alert you to the possibility and I don't like feeling guilty :(.

Well I can vouch for the last two but have never used the first as Amazon UK have not yet given me a need to. Yes Asia?

tronixweb.com are who I always used in the olden days. Used them countless times and had no issues, and fast delivery by FedEx.

PS3 version is £13 :(
I have it on PC but I want to buy a cheap (£10) PS3 version for my brother.

Also I need another copy of DoDonPachi X360 but the best price (£15) is with an Amazon UK reseller so you gitta pay for shipping... better deals?

I used CD Universe a lot for US NDS games, always had good service but it seems reading this thread (couple of posts above) that I've been lucky? Ordered more than 15 games from them
 
Guys does anyone have any idea how long it usually takes the hut to despatch orders?

I ordered Dark Souls PS3 on Sunday afternoon, it said the estimated despatch date was 9/1/12 which was Monday. I've just checked it again and the order is still "processing" and the despatch date is still 9/1/12. :/

I tried cancelling it but they got back to me and said I am unable to cancel due to the order " processing". Never had any bother with them before, normally they are quite quick. Am I just being impatient?

The hut and zavvi are the same iirc, and zavvi are terrible. Good luck :(
 
I also quickly pre-ordered those four Vita games on Amazon when they were super cheap, and looking at my open orders on my account, they're still the same price and haven't been cancelled. I think Amazon are probably just cool enough to let you exploit their mistakes.

Sorry, they may be slow but what shops are better for non-uk users? In my opinion Shopto is more terrible. You cant even return games and I never got resealed or unsealed games from the TheHut group. I ordered two games from Shopto and one was unsealed. The game group isnt really better too.

They're not, It took a while for them to cancel the cheap 16gb Vita Cards but they did. Also cancelled the cheap MGS HD Collection.

Saying that I do still have an FFXIV PS3 that was mispriced at £7.82 in November. It'd be nice if they don't cancel the orders but I fully expect them too.
 
I was in the Tesco in Liverpool ONE over Christmas and they had a basket full of plastic instruments on the cheap - DJ Hero 2 for £30 (all 3 systems), RB3 with Keyboard for £20 (all 3 systems) and RB3 Stratocasters for £15 (360 and Wii only)

I've always wanted a Stratocaster for my PS3 and would happily grab one at that price. Are there any other places selling them so cheap at the moment? I've had a look round but can't find much. Would also love a new copy of Green Day Rock Band PS3 for the import code but I can never find it for less than £20 so if anyone's seen that around it would be appreciated

Rayman Origins: CE is £27.95 on The Hut. Only the PS3 version.

For anyone on the fence, the included soundtrack is the full 36 song version and the artbook isn't just a bunch of stock art, a lot seems to have been created specifically for the book (including a "Why is Globox blue?" segment). As much as I'd like to kick myself for paying £55 on launch for that CE it was worth every penny.
