They have WiiU Zombi pack for £319.99. If you're comfortable ordering from somewhere called "joblots2go", you can get it for £309.00 - http://www.joblots2go.co.uk/index.aspx?pageid=1438274&prodid=7819269
I wouldn't use gameseek if you paid me. I've heard only bad things about them.
My bank will often decline credit card payments, even when there's plenty of credit available, because they think the purchase matches a pattern of fraud. It's really annoying. They declined my car insurance payment a couple of months ago for that reason.
Hopefully you can get your order reinstated.
I think it's time you got a new bank.
Well actually, since they sold my accounts to Santander, I'll have one soon!

At least you're getting the game!

£249 for premium bundle? That would be a damn good deal. Nice to see that Europe isn't getting jacked in hardware prices.

Man, it seems like cancelling a pre-order that you got using the SETENS12R code and the pre-ordering something else makes said code invalid 
That's a shame, I was looking at getting the pro controller a bit cheaper from Sainsbury's Entertainmnet.

Yes, that is a definitely the case. I have been back and forward with Sainsbury's customer support over this and they eventually said (after thinking about it for 3 or 4 days) it is a one time code, so if you cancel your order the code is not reusable.

Think it would work by making a new sainsbury's entertainment account, but re-use the same debit card for it?
No. I tried that using a slight variation on my name and a different credit card. They initially accepted the order but next day I got an e-mail saying they had cancelled it, so they are wise to that trick.

How does one... obtain this offer?
I was just about to post this. Good deal! Hopefully we get a few more good ones like this. Im hoping for Zombi U.
Gotta have a preorder with Zavvi.

Yeah, I just got that from The Hut about the £20 Rayman Wii U but I decided I'm not buying a Wii U so here's the vouher.
TAKE IT SOMEONE:
TAKE IT SOMEONE:
Aren't the codes unique? And if you can only have the offer with a Wii U preorder, which I think is the case, then whoever wants the code will already have their own anyway.
I hope I'm wrong though!

That would undermine the Zombi U bundle a bit, but I guess you never know.
Pretty solid discounts Zavvi are giving out. I was thinking of using the £10 off your next order from Ubi shop on Rayman if my AC3 order goes through.
True, but I can still hope
To be honest, I just hope they discount the good (or at least the hyped) games rather than the ones that hardly anyone really wants.

I think I'll be getting mine from John Lewis. We've got gift vouchers for them so might as well use them.
I had a order in a £199 in June for Amazon UK but must have deleted the emails. Feck.

The voucher worked without me logging on so if somebody else can use it...
And I cancelled my Wii U order a while ago but they keep sending me these emails so I don't think they really care.

Either someone has used it or it doesn't work.
If anyone else isn't using theirs I'll take it.

On a personal note. I'm very disappointed by the price gouging going on by the UK retailers.
Yeah it's BS. With the lack of high street competition and the supermarkets winning over its led to a colluding culture as there is no RRP.
I hope Amazon or Tesco kick off a price war. I have not pre-ordered a single Wii U game yet and may not till we see more decent pricing.
weren't the trade prices posted and as the prices currently are many places aren't making a lot of money off each device?
I'm fairly certain shopto prices will drop to 34.99 nearer to launch, they did with the vita at least.

Well, if anyone got any Zavvi coupons to spare I wouldn't mind some (interested in Rayman, Mario U, Darksider 2, and Asscreed 3).

Epic Mickey 2 Paintbrush - £19.99 from Amazon

When my girlfriend rang to try and get the lower price she just said that she ordered one back in June, Amazon said they can see the order and didn't ask for an order number or anything. They assured us that we'd pay the lower price but didn't really seem to know what they were talking about. But the next day I got an email and the price had changed to £199 on our premium pack order.
So it might be worth a try.
axisofweevils
Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
They insisted on me giving the order number and indicated that there was no chance of getting the discount if I couldn't find it. (As time passed, their policies seem to have become stricter.)

I've had a quick look around at Wii U prices. If anything, prices seem to be going up. ZombiU is now £45ish at most places!

The discounted games from Zavvi have all been from Ubisift so far (ie Sports Connection, Rayman, Just Dance). I would think it's a fair bet this weeks' game will also be an offering from Ubisoft - my guess is Marvel Avengers.

I'm hoping supermarkets go with loss leaders and I can just roll into Tescos et al. and pick up the tiles I want for £35-40
Zavvi now has Black Ops II for a mere £32.95. I'm tempted to order at that price.

Edit - You can get it for £29.66 if you're new to Zavvi with code ZV15625875

That's a pretty good deal. How are Zavvi for pre-orders these days? Still pretty much pot luck?
I've no idea. I never use them. I don't need the game day one though, as long as they send it to me for that price I'll be happy.
You an Owls fan? I live in Sheffield myself.
