Tried to go for that Saints Row 3 deal until I get the following with both my cards

"The Authorisation has been rejected by the Vendor due to insufficient authentication. Please try a different card."

Fuck them.

Do you have a phone number on your account? I think they require one.

Mainly because of myself. I can't manage accounts for shit. God knows how many accounts on various sites, forums and services I have. I have lost track of it. I regularly get emails of sites I didn't even know I signed up to, and I never keep track of the passwords I use lol
I'm the same with emails, although in the past few years I've kept it mainly on one email.

I'm afraid I'll buy something and forget the password and it will be lost forever :D
I have a Steam account with Half Life 2, Left 4 Dead 2 that I don't remember the password for >.> It's somewhere on my PC, but I need to find it.

Sounds like you need KeePass or a similar program.

heh, that's just...weird. I don't know what else to say. ;)

You're missing a heck a lot of great deals. Especially for PC (Steam). I hope you at least track down some XBL/PSN deals and that you buy those games.
Oh well, everyone has his/hers quirks I guess. ;)

They responded to me on Twitter and said it was a problem with my cards and not their site which is clearly bollocks.

I think I'll wait off until the Steam sale too.
 
shopto has the new ridge racer unbounded LE for £20 also, I really want it but have too much to play already!

Also capcom digital collection fo £14 on 360, had HDremix, bionic commando 2, final fight remix, puzzle fighter HD and their other live titles, nice price imo.

This is a cheap enough price for the JRPG of the generation.
No need to wait for 10£ price point IMO.

JRPG of this generation was Tales of Vesperia.
It will cost you around £70 to get a copy of that nowadays.
The price reflects the quality and the rarity of the product.
I'm with the 9.99 or no sale for X13.
 
Pandora's Tower Limited Edition is £29.86 on Banned site too, the cheapest it is anywhere.
Standard edition is £24.85.

Fuck I got burned by the UEFA PSN card. How the fuck do I contact customer service in that maze of a website?

Edit: Nevermind. I found it. I asked for a £4 to make up the difference in cards. I don't suspect I'll get it but at least I'll have tried. If I get a negative response I'll negotiate to credit on my account. Worse comes to worse I'll buy another cheap PSN card when they are on sale again (and £20 for christ's sake!).

Same shit happened to me. Tell me how it goes.

I think I saw a post on here saying that they were originally listed as £20 cards but then edited to remove this... if you can find a screenshot of that then you could probably have a case for false advertising, I'm not certain though. A screenshot of it would likely help you get some credit or a partial refund from them though.

Just got a reply from Zavvi:

...I am really sorry that the image on this item's listing was not correct at the time of purchase. We had been sent the wrong stock image by Sony.

We did not advertise that the card was a £20.00 PSN card in the description, however we would like to offer you a £2.00 refund per card to meet you half was as a gesture of goodwill.

Alternatively you may return the item to us for a refund.

Please let me know as to which you would prefer...

I'm not entirely happy about them trying to shift the blame and acting like i should be grateful for their 'goodwill', but I think I'll take it rather than go through any more rigmarole. Plus this way I can get the Sly trilogy whilst it's on sale :)

Use and return? I got mine from the hut.
 
I bought dirt 3 complete from zavvi but apart from today I have not used them for like a year now, you all know why just from a few posts on this page alone.

I was hoping amazon would match but thats ok, long as they send me the game I paid for before I die of old age.

I paid £40 for XIII and no matter how good XIII-2 is Square-Enix owe me, and I'm not spending more than ten quid!
Click to expand...

You will be amazed how good XIII-2 is.
I'm not joking. I love Lost Odyssey, Vesperia and XIII but none of them feels as great as XIII-2. Lost Odyssey has a more emotional story, that's all.

Yeah but still, I paid £40 for a game that was worth £10 at best, so I'm not spending more than £10 on XIII-2 whether it's woth £40 or not.

The demo didn't make it seem *that* good either, I'm putting a lot of faith in all the people that say it's good, even at £10 :lol

Hmm, I think that if the product description never said anything about 20 pounds, even if the picture isn't correct it's a sign of goodwill that they refund it.
