Trying to cancel my Batman Arkham City order from Zavvi. Has been "dispatched within a month since last week and now it says May 23rd.

Amazon.co.uk have also lowered their price on Batman to £19.99 now.

any chance we'll see Arkham City (x360) on today's Zavvi Mega Monday for 14.95?

Just got a Wii, aside from eBay, where's the best place to get games?

I would note recommend ebay for good prices in Europe. If you can be more explicit about the games you want maybe we can help.

 

[Jubern]

That's why I don't buy at Zavvi/The Hut anymore. It takes up to a month to get an order from Zavvi. If I buy the game at Amazon.co.uk two weeks later for the same price, I'll still get it earlier than an order from Zavvi.

I must have amazing luck because I always get my Zavvi orders in two weeks top. And I'm in France, too.

Maybe one day they'll really screw me up and I'll reconsider for for now it's so far, so good.

With Zavvi before I was getting my orders in two weeks. Now it is only one week, same for play.com, so I consider myself lucky. The only "problem" I had with them was with Blazblue Continuum Shift which was shipped a month after my order.


Someone should do a world map were users can register and locate themselves, and tell if they ever had a problem with Zavvi/The Hut and if yes, which problem. Maybe there will be a pattern of some sort.

Amalur and Blaze Blue shipped the same day from Zavvi, Amalur was here in a little over a week which I consider pretty fast for Zavvi. BB hasn't shown up yet though ... even 3-4 days have passed since the arrival of Amalur.

I'm in the Netherlands. My last order (MGS HD collection special edition) took almost a month. Nothing's changed as far as I'm concerned. It's ridiculous when I get orders from the US quicker than from the UK.

 

[M.D]

How long does it usually take for games with "Availability: Usually dispatched within a month" to get dispatched? Talking about Zavvi here

Two games I want from the 25 pound deal have this notice.
I figured I'll order the games and see if they're not dispatched within a week and a half, I'll cancel the order. But the thing is, the last time I ordered from them, they charged me a couple of hours after the order, and didn't wait for the game to dispatch. Still haven't gotten a response for a email I wrote them about this.

 

[Suairyu]

Assuming now that I won't be getting the Collector's Edition, is Amazon's £27.91 the cheapest going price on Diablo III?

Its a gamble, can be anything from next day to a whole month (or longer).

 

[Chopper]

It basically means "currently out of stock". In my experience it can mean that your order might eventually get cancelled. Depends on the title.

Damn. I'm from the UK but studying in Amsterdam, wish I hadn't ordered Kid Icarus from Zavvi last week now... hope it eventually turns up. At least it "only" took two days to despatch

Can anyone who ordered it from Zavvi the last time it dropped tell me how they packaged it? Just hate it when cardboard boxed games get squashed.

£159.85 for a 360 250GB console on amazon enough of a reason to finally say goodbye to my 20GB console?

I got mine from the hut and it came in a box. The actual game box is very sturdy though. It isn't going to get dented by accident.

For Nintendo branded games (i.e the usual suspects like Donkey Kong Retrns, Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime etc), it's best to go to the used sections of sites like Play and Amazon because they're just about the only places you're likely to get reasonable priced games for those specific brands especially the older ones.

I got Mario Galaxy, Paper Mario, Metroid Prime Corruption and Donkey Kong Returns ranging from £7 - £15 each and they were in great condition.

How long until we see a drop on The Witcher 2 do you think?

Compare it with Dark Souls. I think two months until you see it below 20pounds.

Careful with that one, the box is horrible and it is most likely your product will arrive in pieces.

In pieces.

Wonder why the PS3 version is lagging behind on the pricing.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Wonder why the PS3 version is lagging behind on the pricing.

It's sold more afaik, there was some data a few weeks ago that was along the lines of:
3k PS3 copies left, 5k 360 copies left. Or was it 5k and 8k. I don't remember.

 

[kurtrussell]

Wonder why the PS3 version is lagging behind on the pricing.

It's obviously because the PS3 is the far superior console, and therefore the game is much better and costs more.

DOUSEENOW?

 

[wetflame]

What's the cheapest price on the non-limited edition MGS collection? Still seems to be around £28 everywhere.

 

[Tranced Shadow]

How long until we see a drop on The Witcher 2 do you think?

It topped the charts this week, so I imagine it could hold its value for quite a while. (Or it could do a Deus Ex and go into freefall, I dunno)

Holding out for the PS3 version to drop below £40. As soon as that happen it will be mine.

I know this question is asked every couple of weeks but where is the cheapest place to get a instant 2100 Microsoft Points card? I am trying to get one for a friends birthday

I bet my ass that it will be sold out within minutes right after the drop below 40pounds.

Patience is a virtue my friends.

I bought Bioshock 2 Limited Edition for 360 1 and a half year later for 30€ and I'll be damned If I won't do the same for this.

You get emailed them now and then if you haven't ordered from The Hut for ages.

Or you wait until someone posts one here.
