RDR GOTY where are tho? I remember when it was 14.95, and it told me self "It'll probably stay that way, just hold on a week when you have more money to spend" :( Now the PS3 version is not stock, and it's 19.99

I finally got my games from Zavvi! They were dispatched on April 26 and arrived today. I got one in the mail box, and they probably couldn't fit in the second, so I have to pick it up from the mail office tomorrow.

I thought people complained about the Platinum cases just because of the cover, but that case is so lame... Sony are cheap bastards lol

It's £16.99 at Sainsburys Entertainment

http://www.sainsburysentertainment....e-Year-Edition/product.html?product=E11020882

I got it myself, hasn't arrived yet but i should imagine they are reliable. I dunno if they do EU shipping, Just a price in the UK I bit at. It better be worth the price.

That's a great price!
I can't find where do they ship on their site. I live in Israel so I'm not sure they ship items here

Edit: Found it :(

if you could go back in time amazon.co.uk in 2010 had standard D3 for 21 pounds :(.
And with pre-order guarantee etc, now I think you best off just buying it from Blizzard online store I think.

Welcome to my smugness!

Also, Max Payne 3 was £32 on console on Amazon a few weeks ago. Only £34.99 now - cheap for day one AAA, and you know there will be people desperate to save a fiver on it a few weeks time...

Best place I've found is from coolshop £32.95 for a direct e-mail code .. they're emailing CD Keys out today according to the 'live chat' I just did with their customer service.
 
Holy shit

quote to reveal



just ordered mine. Be quick, this won't last long. And please don't talk about it without quote to reveal before it's sold out or changed price.
 
Heck, I contacted the consumer service and told them to refund me the difference between the price I got it for (49 pounds, reduced to 43 with a code) for the current price. In fact, I told them i'd return the item since I can, according to their policy

And if anyone has a discount, that'd be nice.
 
So, it's basically a 250-page artbooklet, a t-shirt and a steelbook.

Unfortunately I fail to see the big fuss about this CE.
 
Jesus, to sin has never felt so right, thanks for the MGS Collection heads up!

Here's three more 3£ off £30 discount codes* to celebrate:

*Discount code excludes electronics, computing, consoles and pre-orders and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offers e.g. multi-buys. Discount code is valid until 31st May 2012, when you spend over £30 in a single transaction
 
Anyone else also got a spare Zavvi discount code? The day has finally come!

Edit:
I can't get the above codes to work, is there some sort of editing I have to do before I enter the codes at the website?

The regular version is 28pounds. Which means just a few pounds extra for the book. Which is a great deal. Yes, originally it wasn't worth it. 80pounds - insane. You also need to see that the book isn't available any other way in Europe and importing it would get much more expensive.

This. I would rather just the game for £15.

Well yeah, but just the game is only like 10€ cheaper anywhere else so it's not a bad deal (also considering how much it cost originally).

I thought I was done with CEs... better be sold out forever after today :P


I forgot to ask for zavvi codes, still seems to be in stock, should I cancel and order again with a code?

Yeah, I was expecting a different price after seeing some of the reactions.

What did you expect? It being cheaper than the regular edition?

I can understand someone not being interested in the artbook at all. Or even not being interested in the game. But saying to expect an even cheaper pricepoint doesn't make sense. They have to ship it as well and that's not cheap for such a heavy LE. Yesterday I was expecting it to get 5pounds cheaper in maybe 1-2 weeks. Today I was pleasantly surprised.
 
Whoa, that cheap Catherine sold out in no time.

I wonder how small the warehouse stock has to be for that to happen.

I did not order it because I am worried I will never receive it. My Disgaea 4 and War in the North have not arrived yet...

I have no clue what the regular edition still costs. So that was no factor at all. I think it is overpriced as it is.

/edit/ Not that I want to denigrate this deal or anything. That's just how I feel about it. Good for you guys if it makes you happy.
