If you're gonna take advantage, you only have today to do it. I don't see Amazon pricematching, to be honest. And if they do they'll change the price back come tomorrow.

Just a heads up for anyone who's umming and ahing about going for anything.
 
Is NSMB DS as good as the Wii entry? I think I will skip the MK DS, online seems to be superior for MK 3DS. Any reason to buy the DS game?

I hated NSMB DS but loved the Wii version. It was way more varied and fun.

MKDS is inferior to MK7 : graphics are worse, online is worse, and if you don't like snaking then there's no challenge.
 
Wow, ME3 dropped really fast.

I thankfully traded my copy in yesterday for £25. Though I only paid about £30 at launch.

Crazy that they sell them pre-owned for £35/New for £40 in the shops, yet you'd have to pay an extra tenner? for the multiplayer code in the used one too over PSN/XBL. Not worth it at all.
 
4p Better!

Mass Effect 3 (360/PS3) - £22.95 @ Zavvi

With a 10% voucher it's £20.65. Now that's tempting me a lot but the more I see this drop so quickly, the more I'm convinced it will be on Zavvi Mega Monday at 17.99 in the next 1-2 weeks. And if this keeps following the ME2 pattern, it will be at 12.99 in less than 3 months.

Or maybe retailers want to make money before the end of March and this will increase like Skyrim did after Christmas... Decisions, decisions...
 
I jumped on ME3 last week at £29, really didn't expect it to drop much more than that so soon.

Same here. ME2 on 360 dropped a lot, but I read that it didn't perform as well as they had expected, so I guess that means it was overshipped. The PS3 version of ME2 stayed high for ages, so I figured EA had learnt their lesson, but maybe not.
 
Might as well mention this as an actual deal now, and not hide it with the email tag...

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword [Limited Edition Gold Wii Remote Bundle] (Wii) - £59.99 @ Base

Like I said before, not a "deal," as the price is highish but it is in-stock (even though it is now an out of print item). I ordered it for a friend this morning (who missed out at launch), and they just shipped the copy I ordered a few minutes ago. It is around £10 less than the current best eBay price.

35 Euro+shipping at Gameware

I dont like them they once wanted to sell me a display copy.
 
So I ended up cancelling my £18 LA Noire order with Zavvi.

It's back up for 24 hour dispatch for £33 now...

It's not like zavvi would have sent you the game for £18 in my experiences, they would report it as a computer error and say the order needs to be replaced to be valid or some bullshit.
 
That's a different version - does not include the remote (at least the box is different). I don't trust the look of that site anyway :/
Gameware is legit, bought many games there. But it is mostly preferable for Austrian customers and the shipping is free after 49 Euros (shipping is 3 Euros). When I order from them before 12:00 it gets delivered the next day, which is nice.
 
It says limited edition.

There is a Limited/Special Edition version of the game that comes with a soundtrack, and there is a Limited Edition that comes with the controller.

The photo on the page shows the soundtrack one. The audio listing has a German flag, and the origin has a (I don't know) flag.

My friend was asking to get the UK Limited Edition (which is OOS), This one is priced great, but it seems like something about it could be wrong (and returns to Austria does not seem great if things go wrong).

Thanks though.
 
Yep, that is definitely the "limited" version, aka the only normal version of the game, that comes with a soundtrack and nothing else.
