Not sure if already cited before but Amazon.it has Vita Wi-fi at 159 euro.
The offer run until until today.

No memory card though, the 4GB is priced 9.99 euro.

This one's (Amazon.de) probably more interesting depending on where you live:

153,97 euro for Vita + LittleBigPlanet.

http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B009LL5BU8/

Also if you combine this offer with one of a selection of games (FIFA13/NFS:Most Wanted/Rayman Origins/Dungeon Hunter: Alliance/Lumines: Electronic Symphony/Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation), you get 15 euro off that game.

(As was pointed out by Shane86 on the previous page)
 
Keyser !

Time to do your thing! :D
Make a new one with such an awesome op like this one.

And maybe some... magic!

I can't get the 15€ game, is this still current?

Yeah, you are right.
4GB memory is cheaper on amazon.it though.

Some really cheap price for Vita this holiday.
 
You guys weren't kidding about Zavvi's delivery times. Do they lie about their dispatch dates?

My last orders were dispatched within a few days at most - Ghost Recon Future Soldier for example said 10 days to dispatch, was dispatched within 1 day! Batman GOTY showed up today, was dispatched 10 days ago, dispatch took 2 days. Girl with the dragon tatoo on Blu took 12 days. I wouldn't even expect fast delivery times currently because of christmas (zavvi/thehut ship from outside EU, someone people don't seem to know that, customs get too many packages, processing those takes a while - they don't ship from UK!).

Other order as comparison: wowhd - ordered Days of Being Wild on Blu mid november, got shipped 29.11, received it 11.12. And the thing wasn't cheap at all.

btw. what happens, when we hit the 20000 post limit? Will the thread lock itself automatically? Will EviLore show up here?

Ah, didn't realise they were outside EU. Cheers :)

Weird though, I ordered FC3 and it arrived in 4 or 5 days. Dark Souls and Sleeping Dogs aren't here yet, and they were dispatched last Monday

When the thread gets near 20,000, someone's supposed to start a new one, and this one will be locked I think
 
Anyone ever bought pre-owned from GAME online before?

Curious about the condition of their used stuff. I fucking hate dirty boxes with pubes and ooze crust all over them.

Jersey Islands precisely. That means customs can tax you (I had a 9€ customs tax on my 25€ Kingdom Hearts BBS >_>)

I do all the time, and every time they're like brand new. I don't even bother ordering new from them now, except for when it's really interesting (or new is cheaper than used lol).
 
GOD DAMN IT! Apparently it's expired already, Sainsburys have put the price up on 3DS XL units to £174.99 so now you can only get it for £157 from there :(

Anyone got any recommendations for best non-Sainsburys deal on a 3DS XL?

EDIT: Argos to the rescue! £159.99 and because it's Argos, you can reserve online and get that price in-store too! W00t!

£169.99 for the White one with Mario Kart 7 preloaded at GAME?

Really? Wow, I'll go on ahead and go for it then. I'm building a Wii collection, have some points there and there's a number of games at the right price I'd like to pick up.

Well, you're not exempted from a fluke, but generally, the games come in perfect condition (or one or two micro scratches on the DVD), and even have a GAME seal on them à la X360 games. It's pleasing to see they actually care about the games' condition they get.
 
A few years ago I ordered a preownwed copy of Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction from GAMEs online store The case was absolutely crushed and thus I've never ordered anything preownwed from then since. Could just be that I'm unlucky.
 
One thing about used games in GAME and online. Sometimes it goes like this.

GAME have a strange practice where they send new sealed stuff to stores. Store unseals copies for dummy units to place on shelves. Head office then recall unsold games after some time (the strange practice of you won't find a new copy of something more than a few months old). These go back to the warehouse. I don't know if they send these out as new anymore because lots of people complained that they were getting opened games with slightly tatty manuals (some stores need to clean their draws).

But after a while to drop the price further they'll make these games used. For instance my last GAME purchase was Professor Layton 4 for £7.98. Box feels smooth and new, Club Nintendo code is slightly bent to one side.

Any condition other than complete and utter filth is a step up, which is exactly how EVERY Wii game in my local GAME looks.

One of the games I want from their online store is Punch Out for £4.99. I know I want it because I saw it in my local. Hopefully, the version I buy online doesn't have the same broken case, case which is more black than white through dirt, crusty dirt in the corner and a thin film of scum around the edge of the paper insert cover.

I'll give them a go and see what happens.

Used Wii games always seem to be in bad condition everywhere i go, maybe its a result of most not being owned by gamers as such and don't look after them as much as a result.
 
Fuck it, 20,000 snuck up....

I was thinking of a name change to "HotGAFDeals" from "Cheap Arse Gaffer" a while ago - I don't know anymore...

ARGHHHH
 
Am I right in thinking Assassins Creed 3 hasn't dropped in price at all yet?

Also, does anyone know where I could get Crash Time 5: Undercover for a decent price? I believe it has only had a German release so far and Amazon.de was fairly expensive for it last time I checked. Thanks

You can't change the name (i'd end up getting confused lol), although the catchline could be changed.

Given how the last year has gone at retail i would suggest. "Two weeks then Bomba!" or something along those lines
 
Playstation Bomba Stars for the PS3 is £17.86 at the site that cannot be named.

Not a bad deal considering the game came out 2 or so weeks ago, but Bomba Stars may yet fall even further. Still a good price to jump in at if some people were waiting for it to drop.
