What did they say when you contacted them?
I've used them so many times I'd be saddened to learn that they're/have gone bad.

After i placed the order all i got was a Paypal confirmation, Nothing from them. I spent the next 6 hours trying to get a hold of them and waiting for a response from their "reply in 15 mins" email system. Never got anything. They have blanked me at every opportunity. It's literally impossible for me to get hold of them.

So not one single email. I have used them before with no problems. So found it very strange.
But i'll never be using those crooks again, especially now i know i'm not covered.

Edit: Sent them this, complete bs but cant hurt right?

Hi, I have been trying to get this resolved and Paypal cannont help me,
Maybe i'll get a reply from you this time. Seeming your website email system never gives me one.
As i can't resolve this with Paypal, my next course of action is with my credit card companys fraud department. Seeming i paid with Paypal with my credit card i will let them get my money back off you.
I really don't understand why i never had one reply or any confirmation of my 20 dollar psn card when you have been recommended by so many people on the forum i frequent for good service.
They now know all about this blatant fraud and their lack of protection with Paypal and are very wary to use you ever again.
I suggest you give me my money back as if my credit card company comes under the same terms as paypal i will be going to the police.
Good day.

Just had this back 10 mins later


Hi,

Your code has been sent.

Adam

Right! :D
Email received with code.
 
Got an email offer from Sony this morning. Get a Sony VISA card and get a years free PS+, and earn 10x points on PSN purchases. Seems something that might be worth doing, just keep it as a PSN only card, which also has security benefits
That sounds interesting... can you post the link by any chance?

Speaking of not paying retail, is the GameStop offer of £169.97 still the best non-expired UK deal on the 3DS XL, or have there been any better ones that I missed?
 
just a follow up:
I bought the cheap Syndicate PS3 PAL version at wowhd.
They sent it out from Hong Kong one day after ordering and it arrived here in Germany after 13 working days in a bubble envelope. No problems, wrapped and it's the UK version of the game.

So yeah, if they have a good deal - once per year or so - they are still a good shop to order from I guess. I think 13.79€ is still unbeaten for Syndicate, though it was quickly out of stock that day.
 
Quick question - what's the best place to get PSN codes at the moment? I would assume somewhere like Zavvi with a 10% off code (which I don't have); anywhere else?
 
Paid £18.50 something on Tesco entertainment. So its all good.
And £21 for Ratchet Hd from Asda, Just had email saying it will be delivered today :D
 
Any GMG codes kicking around. Probably about the bite the bullet on Spec Ops. Though just want to make sure, I didn't miss out on any extra savings.
 
Dunno about safety, but they do charge you around 7,50 euro per item for shipping.

You could also try play-asia.com, I guess.
I made an account on videogamesplus.ca and preorded Journey: Collector's Edition. Shipping cost was in CAD, not EUR. All of their prices are in CAD exclusively (says so on their site).
I chose the "ORDER NOW, PAY LATER" option. I presume that's the best way to do to a preorder there (payment when it's being shipped). I would have liked to use PayPal but from what I've seen, it charges the item immediately. Can someone confirm/deny this?
 
just as a note, it is NOT worth posting links for deals on any of thehut group sites where a cheap game is out of stock, its a scam to draw traffic to their sites

Out of stock? It says "dispatched within a month". If it was out of stock, it would say "sold out". And "dispatched within a month" can be dispatched within a few days, 1-2 weeks, or really 4 weeks or even more. For that price, you can't complain. (note: I ordered several games where it said that, some of those were really dispatched within a few days, in any case they ALWAYS did send me the game at some point, which means it's definitely not a scam, especially not at that price. The game won't get cheaper than this)
 
The 'despatched within a month' thing just means they don't have any stock at the moment, but may be able to get some more in. Unfortunately, whether they do or not and how long it takes is completely random.

yes, this, and more often then not, they wont get anymore in
 
Has anyone who ordered the Ratchet & Clank HD Collection from Asda had their order despatched yet? I ordered when it was £13.50 ages ago, but it's still showing as "On Backorder". FIFA 12 did that though, and turned up on release day (with the order status still showing as backordered on the website).

Uh oh, bit worried now! Wonder if it had anything to do with it being so cheap when they mispriced it originally? They never cancelled the order though. If the status doesn't change by this afternoon I'll give them a call. Cheers for the info.

You can't track the £13.50 orders, I think because the removed the listing for several weeks before putting it back up for £21. They sent an email saying this, but that the copies would be dispatched to arrive by Friday.

Ah okay, thanks. I do remember getting an email a while ago saying it would arrive by release day so hopefully it will do.

I'm in the same boat. Fingers crossed. I will still be absolutely amazed when it actually arrives. What a price!
 
How strange - I ordered my Ratchet and Clank collection at £21 and received it yesterday (five minutes before an email saying I would be getting it today!).

I know this has been asked, and my apologies for asking again, but what are the good 3DS XL offers at present in the UK? Have any of the supermarkets asides from Tesco put out any prices yet?
 
SwissGAF: Vita Wifi + Wipeout + Little Deviants = 199.-CHF in Media Markt Fribourg! At least one of the titles (Little Deviants) seems to be a Download.

The price is valid since today and only for as long as they have stock.
 
Not really cheap but I just pre-ordered Tales of Graces F Day 1 Edition @ Zavvi. Still cheaper than retail price here.
