Anybody got a Zavvi code I could plunder, please?
I'm in the same boat, but with ZombiU and Black Ops 2.
Hopefully they'll actually turn up on Monday. Still, such is the price to pay for paying an average for £33 for each of them I suppose.

Bleach: Soul Resurrección (PS3 exclusive) is also 15 pounds. Which is cheap for a licensed anime game. It's supposed to be a mediocre game at best, though.
No.
Anywhere else I can buy from then?
Seems silly to have to wait for the physical card...

Looking for the cheapest 3DS XL deals. Anyone have any ideas?
The Sainsbury's deal for £140 still works. link
Similar price (€200ish) for the white one at french Amazon when you factor in a game - Mario Kart Mario 3D Land

Any word on how long these Zavvi prices will last?

Probably until tomorrow midnight, then they'll get raised, only to get dropped again next weekend.
No one can tell as it varies from item to item. Some Mega Monday deals last for few hours, others few days, some last for months. Some drop mid-week only to return to the sale price towards the weekend. There's no way to tell, although what I've noticed is that there's usually a bunch of extra good deals and they last up to Wednesday. But then, that hardly applies to all the good deals, again, even the great deals can last for weeks, or days, or hours.
If you are thinking about buying Batman GOTY - buy it now. I was seriously surprised that it dropped to 15pounds (the regular edition is 13pounds). I doubt that it will drop any further.
Same is true for Dark Souls PtD edition. Regular one dropped once to 13pounds and that was it. Prices will stay till at least tomorrow. If the games sell really well at those prices, then they will go up again.
I liked this game, better than the Saint Seiya game, which is also good, but much better than the One Piece and Fist of the North Star games.

Brilliant thanks so much!
Worth it at that price? Anything majorly wrong with the vita version?
How long ago did they start making you use your card on psn cards? i think i bought a code in july or august with paypal.
Also will amazon pricematch these Zavvi deals?
Might take advantage then. Says on the website the offer expires 11:59 PM on the 7th though so there's a few more days yet.

Anybody have experiance ordering outside the uk with zavvi?
Also some new games are 49.99 euros here in austria's saturn, like Far Cry 3 and Assasins Creed. Most wanted and a few more. Which sure as hell is better than 69.99 at gamestop.

Have been ordering from them since 2008, and only one problem - a game that took them 2 months to ship. Apart from that, pretty good, the games arrived in one week generally.
Supposed to be a really nice version.
Not a single problem so far (Israel).
Usually takes around 2 weeks to arrive since dispatch, which may also take around a week, so if you're not in a hurry, they're cool.

Well, ShopTo won't do it since I never ordered anything from them, so eBay I guess?

This is the price it's usually at in Steam sales nowadays. Worth considering if you prefer to have as many games on Steam as you can.
Anyone have a Zavvi code that I can use on the PS3 Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition? Going to double dip so I can try the DLC and lend out my original copy to friends to try and get them as hooked on the Souls universe as I am! Seems like it would be worth it at a few pounds more than the DLC costs anyway
If I have the PTD edition does that mean the game won't bother with downloading the DLC? Also, will it load my original Dark Souls save and use the same trophy list?

Yes, it's all on-disc. Game is also up-to-date on disc.
No and yes. Original Dark Souls save is NOT compatible. I also thought twice, but then I just have to play this awesome game again, so I don't really mind. I already know it in and out, so it will just take a few hours. I definitely prefer physical copies. And yes, it shares the same trophy list. PtD DLC didn't introduce any new trophies (but who cares, awesome game).
Thanks for that. Having second thoughts now then. Still haven't finished my first run through the original despite being at 300+ hours as I spent so much time being summoned and invading plus a bunch of time slab farming. Starting again when I have so much time invested in my original save makes this seem like a big loss to be taking. May just spend the £9.99 on the DLC when I'm ready and lend it to my friend for now anyway as I've just started Skyrim and I think that will keep my busy for a while
Had them too. I played through it again using a new save just to have a proper character to play the DLC :/ My original character is NG++ and the DLC gets really crazy from NG+ onwards. If you are still on the original playthrough, it should be fine. Just don't finish the game until you played the DLC. And I bet the DLC will go on sale in a few months or so.
Anyway trust me - second playthrough is way faster, because you know what you are doing.
You could transfer weapons (afaik) - if you are able to summon someone you know - just give him weapons, then logon using your fresh character, summon him again and get the weapons that way. Levels have to match somewhat. I did this for someone in Demon's Souls and it worked just fine. In Dark Souls that could be a problem, because there are no servers, it's all P2P. Although I thought the DLC would introduce some friendlist coop play feature.
I'm still only SL44. Have done everything except the last boss so I can head out to beat the DLC as soon as I start again!

Oh man. Buy now or wait for Steam xmas sale? I know it won't be cheaper than £4.99, but I try to keep digital content strictly GoG and Steam, as I know I'll just forget about it with other services.

You actually just missed the exact same deal on Steam (£4.99, Black Friday sales) but it'll surely return for the Christmas sales.
I'm also really tempted but the really shitty drm (limited installs, no revoksies) actually puts me off enough to buy the shittier and more expensive PS3 version. :/
Ah, thank you. I'll wait.

if you have not already utilized it,a code they sent a couple of months ago is still valid,check in your email.
i've just used it to get dark souls PTDE
Whoa, the code from august worked! Thanks
.That brings meruru down to 29 euro, and another 5 pounds off with the coupon deal. I think that's a reasonable price for those games. Of course there could be another reprint with ~20 bucks prices, but not sure if I want to chance it.
Now, I only need to find a hyperdimension neptunia mk 2 deal.

Thanks for the tip, sadly it didn't work for me though.
Anyone in festive spirit, willing to help me out with a zavvi code?

I'm planning on getting VLR, P4G and Gravity Rush for Vita. My vita account is a US Account, so I'd like to get the US region of these games. Does anyone know of any upcoming B2G1 Offers soon or of any online retailers that can offer these 3 games at low prices & ship outside US?
Apologies if this isn't the thread to ask this, didn't know where else to ask >_>;

Am I the only guy over here who has problems with Zavvi? I'm still waiting for my Borderlands GOTY for more than 3 weeks now...
If it doesn't show up after another week (in case you are from EU not UK, if you are from UK, you should have already done that), just create a message after logging into zavvi.com. I had to do that once in the last few months, because my original Jurassic Park order went lost. Mind you - Zavvi is not guilty for the postman losing your mail. They send out another one normally. In case that they mix a date up, just reply and tell them that a month passed.

They're not guilty but technically they're responsible for the package until it's delivered to you.
I've bought the Agarest 2 Deluxe Edition with the cap and bag for £25 from Shopto, seemed like a good bargain to me, especially as they are ship it via courier for free.
I'm waiting on the Meruru w/ Zavvi exclusive artbook to drop in price, though that Paypal promo is very tempting. I could probably go without the small art booklet as the Atelier: Artworks of Arland book is supposed to be out next March, and the same art will probably be in there anyway. Only larger. Printed on better quality paper. And won't get lost one day. OK I think I've convinced myself to get the cheaper version.
You can get the US ver. of Neptunia MK2 from the NISA store for £28 incl. shipping. Some of the DLC is also 50% off til tomorrow night on the US PSN. On that note, I have never seen DLC for NISA published games get discounted on the EU PSN, and they are priced at 1 = $1 conversion rate which makes it even less appealing to buy the EU versions of their games that have lots of paid DLC.

Wii Remote prices are a joke.
Think I might buy a couple of cheap non-Motion+ third party controllers. £10ea on Zavvi.
