did the same, so many cheap games atm adding to my already to finish pile.

The crazy thing is I already have more games that I can play.

Also till Friday Orcs Must Die is half price at £5 on XBLA. A couple of quid more that the Christmas steam sale but awesome game, really enjoying it.

I saw you did, im glad i have no points atm or i wouldve bought that and the other one on sale atm.
 
You are all crazy buying Rayman. I am waiting for it free in my Rice Krispies

I'll only get it if zavvi/thehut/ubisoft pay me.

I sent an email to thehut and asked them about the situation on Tales of Graces F. They didn't say anything about why the game isn't listed on the store anymore, but it is not cancelled and my pre-order still stands.

Hi ******,

Thank you for your email.

I can confirm that we have not had notification from the developers that this game has been cancelled in Europe.

Your order is still processing and shows an est. date of 25/05/2012.

If we received any further information we will contact you to let you know.

If there is anything else I can help you with please contact me.

Kindest regards,
Sarah.

Actually, I believe it ends midnight tomorrow (according to Major Nelson) and the GTA deal starts then.
 
Have the BEST2011 stopped working or does it not validate because I used it once already?

Otherwise it should work on Rayman at least and probably Dark Souls as well.
 
Anyone know any PS3 controller that is more like the 360's? Willing to spend around £40
PowerA Pro Elite Wireless Controller (PS3)

Don't know if it's any good.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/PowerA-Pro-Elite-Wireless-Controller/dp/B003V4AK8E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326652949&sr=8-1 for only £28.50

edit: Amazon's customer reviews give it a average of 3 out of 5.
 
Would you guys recommend Alice Madness returns? Amazon has it for £13, but aside from the awesome art I know absolutely nothing about the game.

I would. Its a good story, does look really great, the PS3 version comes with a free copy of the original game (Dunno about xbox or pc versions) Its more old school combat wise, run around hitting things with your various weapons. Quite fun and satisfying with interesting gameplay elements

It's worth it for the art styles alone, everything else is a bonus.

I guess at that price you could give it a shot, it certainly has a following but honestly I found it to be one of the most offensively average games i've played in years, the best way to describe it for me was that it feels like a standard movie tie in game (not because of the theme but because of the gameplay) coated in a good art direction that sometimes gets ruined by the drastically varying graphic quality.
 
Alice (the original) is classed as DLC so you need the Alice Madness Returns to launch it yeah.
Also counts as 100g of the 1000g achievements in Madness Returns, don't know if it's the same with PS3 trophies.
 
They use it as an DRM measure and a reason not to sell your copy. You cant keep Alice1 by selling your copy.
I don't endorse it but is better than capcom's always online drm
 
In case people miss it

Game Website Hacked. Not confirmed as of yet, although if you don't use a password on GAME that is unique, best to start changing it elsewhere now.

edit - not as bad as first thought... although a good reminder to use unique passwords everywhere as much as you possibly can!!

Hoax, thankfully. The posted information was from a previous, unrelated attack on another website, a statement has been released stating that none of the details are for customers who have GAME accounts, and that the information is 'well protected' etc.

I had no problem believing it initially, but thankfully it's not true.
 
Are you guys getting the limited edition Zelda eshop cards? I remember they were supposed to be released last year as a part of the Zelda 25th anniversary but I've never seen them anywhere in London. I've heard about them popping up in Europe though.
Unfortunately we don't really get told more than a couple of days in advance what will be turning up in the store, however since the Zelda 3DS and Skyward Sword controller bundle don't seem to be getting restocked again I'd say that the chances are they won't be stocked.

Just an off topic question but it would be great if you answer, how are ps vita preorders doing at your store, as i am in two minds whether to buy on release (and it gets a price drop 2 months later) or wait for a price drop.
Hard to say, we've had a fairly steady number of them (equivalent to 3DS preorder numbers) however in comparison to last year we had a 3DS demo unit and there were a huge number of customers enquiring about the 3DS and placing a pre-order after giving it a try, whereas with the Vita it seems to be guys specifically coming in to pre-order.

Cheers buddy. Missed the £197.99 deal @ The Hut today : (
 
Wheres the cheapest place to pick up a 3DS? Gamestop have them for €160 for the base console, 190 for the LoZ bundle and Amazon has the Super Mario 3D land bundle for £150/€180. Are there any places doing them cheaper?
I'm not opposed to getting a used one but most prices I've seen are only 10-20 cheaper (eBay/Gamestop/GAME), for that little of savings I rather go with a brand new one.
 
A question for you Game sales monkeys nice, helpful types: the pre-owned red Wii consoles that you are selling in store for £80 IIRC, are they really pre-owned or new stock that Game is just trying to shift?

Thanks?

I Googled the red 3DS yesterday and IIRC the Hut were selling them for £130 but with the proviso that one might have to wait a month for it and Amazon were selling them for £140.
