Not bad. £12.95 is almost within reach. That's when I'll bite.
And I hope Binary Domain makes 17.95 next week. Doesn't seem too unreasonable considering how much of a bomb it was.

12.95 or bust!

Ah well, you know, it's a fine game so I am kind of willing to...uhh...you're right. Might as well wait for 12.95.
Also hoping for another drop on binary domain.
What's the CheapArseGAF consensus on Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2? Buy now or wait and pray? Not sure how rare that game will be. Currently with the thehut deal (and marched2 coupon) it would be 32.95+~1 pound of shipping.
Any hope that game will get a better deal (that will ship to mainland Europe...)?

I am pretty sure the first one dropped lower than that.

No.
As I understand it, it is okay to mention banned sites by name but any link to that site will be borked by NeoGAF.

Good point, but the collector mentality in me means I would not do that. It is the reason I don't go down the digital download route for games, music, films etc, I like to have a proper, legitimate copy of things in my possession

Place that does the Cheapest UK price and/or midnight release for Mass Effect 3 guys? Any ideas?
Same for me, doesn't seem to be a big seller anyway.
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/mass-effect-3-xbox-360-ps3-pre-order-32-97-with-code-asda-gpo52402-1157586
I believe this is currently the cheapest price around online at Asda with the discount code. Enter the code at the checkout I'd imagine and you'll get the £32.97 price.

If you are willing to go for a midnight release, then there is not much good on offer. Everywhere is over £30 for the console version.
ASDA is good, but you wont get it midnight...
Mass Effect 3 (360/PS3) -£32.97 @ Asdahttp://direct.asda.com/Mass-Effect-3---Xbox-360/003763710,default,pd.html ( use code GPO52402)
I don't know if the code still works, and cannot check now - sorry (it worked yesterday though)
For PC...
Mass Effect 3 (PC) - £28.99 @ Bee
Another Supermarket could do something better on launch, if so it should be advertised in the national papers, and we should know about it the night before release.

Thank you so much guys, i went for the Asda offer. I would have liked it at midnight but I like that price even more. Cheers!

That's it! But no store has made no mention of the extra cards, online or IRL. I wonder if they'll simply be available in the first batch sent out to stores? Like the Skyward Sword bonus OST CD.

There really should not be anything. Right after release is usually the worst time to look for a deal, and it seems to be £35+ everywhere, If you wait a week or two some shop might try to shift a bit of stock and knock the price a bit under £30

That's a fair assumption to make I think.
Last Story LE: 47.95
or £39.99
Seems to be kind of overshipped. After asking, I even got a 5 refund from my retailer as they dropped the price shortly after I ordered from them.

Re: Kid Icarus AR cards. I find it odd the twitter account has yet to say anything about them.
Then again it did take a couple of weeks for the Zelda limited edition to sell out and the prices go crazy...
After both Xenoblade and Zelda SS being undershipped that could be the case. Now I'm wondering is how many regular editions did retailers need to get to get this surplus of limited editions (if it were a lot thats the real bomba to watch out for).

Hope it drops to ~30 before it goes out ofstock.

Was £24.99/£22.99 very soon after release in loads of places - for the pre-Christmas market.

I'm just waiting for the GotY edition.
EDIT: Might wait a few weeks after that, actually, for them to iron the bugs out.

Exactly, and I didn't buy it because the patch that fixed the problems wasn't out. Big mistake, I know.

thehut.com is my go-to site for online shopping, 100% reliable (in the 3+ years I've been going there) and cheap, though there might be a few places where you could get them for a little less money
Yeah it's ridiculous, even more ridiculous, people are actually paying those prices.
you gonna be waiting a long time son...
Depends on what you regard as exorbitantly expensive. The price on Games on Demand is £20, which is high for such an old game but rather cheaper than the sort of markups it goes for elsewhere. Of course, though, you won't get any box & documentation.
Prepare yourselves for House Of The Dead 4 on PSN with:
House of the Dead: Overkill - Extended Cut @9.00GBP
House of the Dead: Overkill - Extended Cut @9.00GBP
about that - I have a PAL console, but registered with an US account. The marketplace recognizes this, thus won't let me download the game.

They have been out of stock / out of print for ages. Last time they were cheap is when Zavvi shifted old stock...
...like mclem said, this is the one of the few times GOD seems like a good deal.
Prices on eBay are actually falling now. They got to highs of £80 (new), but are close to £60 now. Used it about £35 if you can be bothered to wait and bid.. which is not terrible either.

Just set up a UK account to download the game?
You could just buy it for £60 on eBay and sell it when you're done, and you won't lose much that way unless 100,000 units are suddenly discovered in a warehouse somewhere.
hm, might as well register an alt account then, if that's the case. Thanks for the info.

Zavvi are basically just pricematching now with their Mega Monday stuff - they used to set standards for the bigger price-drops :/
I won't complain. My backlog is already almost 30 games. But yes, nothing cheap enough to buy. And for Batman AC, I will wait for the Wii U version.

I remember paying 30€ for the Bioshock 2 Collector's Edition.
Hopefully this will follow along.

Was gonna buy this last week at £10 on ShopTo. Really tempted by this, especially as I loved it on Wii.

Still a hell of a lot of money. I'll go for ~18GBP version on XBL.
Handy of this to come up just as I finish Brotherhood!
Have Ubisoft given any indication that CE/preorder bonusses will be given away automatically later on (perhaps with the DLC)?
They did with the earlier games, but it pays to make sure.

Not really I ordered on Sunday and they have canceled my order back in the day :/
You know what? I might play revelations if it drops belot £18 soon. If that happens too close to AssCreed 3 I will skip it as originally planed.

tempted by this Arkham City for 19 pounds. any chance it will go any lower (14-15 mark)? I'm affraid that if I wait, I might end up with a "Classics" cover which I hate.
I paid 279 for only the Wifi unit in Finland.I'm that stupid.
Still worth it though, awesome system. <3
Um where did you even find it that expensive? I paid 250 and it included 20€ PSN card.
