...and if you've bought a PC Download game from Amazon.com in the last month, you got a $5 credit coupon for use against any Editor's Choice game during January, and we know that Dark Souls is one of those games. It's probably gonna be $18 then, so it'll be $13 if you have the coupon and a little patience.

Of course, if none of that applies, then by all means go for it.

I thought you couldn't order DD content from amazon.com if you're outside the US?
 
Zavvi are pretty terrible, my last order of Firefly blu ray took five weeks to arrive. I will use them if I absolutely have to but I usually just pay more somewhere else so I don't have to deal with them.
 
Refresh my memory EU GAF, what PS3 games are releasing in January and are not YOPO?
I want my brother to get me Ni no Kuni and Anarchy Reigns for me, but any other games coming this month?

Nothing of note. Devil May Cry if you are so inclined.

Meh, for me, maybe 1 order out 20 takes more than 1-1,5 weeks (this from UK to Finland). Amazon is maybe a working day or two faster, so it's really all the same where I order from.

It baffles me to no end that there are still people on GAF that never heard of this but just use any US address as your billing address and they won't care.

They haven't been good to me in recent months either, normally I only order because the games are impulse buy cheap and I'm not really too bothered when i get them. Except so far EVERY order that I ordered from Zavvi that got delayed for a month+ has appeared on the PS Store for cheaper by time they're ready to ship...
 
New Zavvi coupon: JAN10 for 10% off (valid till midnight or so, I'm not sure)
Special Preorder coupon: PRE2013 for 10% off preorders (valid till 4.1)
 
Nordic version is just that the back of the box and manual is in the Scandinavian languages. It's still a EU version of the game, meaning that UK DLC should work just fine.
Thanks, though I really should have guessed!

Tempted, but obviously this will remove any trade-in value.
 
I can confirm what I posted last week. LBP Vita is £17.99 in store at Sainsbury's. :)

At that price you'll have out cheaper and faster by ordering on play Asia or vgp

Your math is a little off.

VGP: CAD$39.99 + 7.49 shipping = CAD$47.48 ~ £29.95 ~ 36,8 euros.
Play-Asia: US$44.9 + free shipping ~ £27.9 ~ 34.35 euros. (free shipping takes several weeks to arrive)
(both not withcounting currency conversion costs)

Zavvi's offer is £26.96 and 34,8 euros.

Has never taken more than 8 days for me, as opposed to 2-3 weeks max for zavvi.

I ordered Dokuro on Nov 13th from them. It has yet to arrive. (over 30 working days since it's shipped)
Also ordered a Vita carrying case on Nov 9th. It arrived on Dec 12th (22 working days).

(I'm in Belgium.)

Errr there are shipping costs with Zavvi and Play-Asia items have never taken more than a week to arrive to my mailbox, so....

Also I've been playing Persona 4 Golden for the past 3 weeks already lol

That's very odd. I think I only had one single order that took more than 8 days to arrive and that was 11 or 12. What's even odder is that I live pretty close to you, geographically speaking. I'm in the Netherlands.
 
Of course I want a Vita now when the sales are over. Damn it, I should've jumped on that Amazon.de Vita+LBP deal! Hopefully it won't be long until more deals appear.
 
I've only pre-ordered 1 game so far from Zavvi, received it on the release day.

Ordered lots of games that show instock despatched in 24 hours, all take over 2 weeks.

I'm in the UK.

Well, I dunno, it can be customs. Maybe they focus on small optical media packages nowadays instead of the containers full of drugs that pass through the Antwerp harbour every day.

I already contacted P-A about it and they replied with some prefabricated general email about how it can take some time due to "unforeseen circumstances". Gonna have to contact them again, I guess.
 
Cheap 3DS games in store at ASDA at the moment. Saw it posted on HUKD this morning so popped into my local branch and picked up Kid Icarus for £14.50 and they were also selling Metal Gear Solid 3D for £11.99. When the deal was posted the person said they got Starfox for £4.99 and that's what I was looking for but they had none left :(
 
A while ago a deal was posted here about free prime for 3 months. Forgot about it, trial is over and got charged £50 :(
Free shipping now not so free and no instant video makes me sad.

I'd friggin' kill for Kid Icarus at that price, but none of the ASDA's near me ever have these deals. God damn it.

I would give Kit Icarus a second chance at that price. Just a shame i'm no where near an Asda.

Likewise Starfox and MGS would be easy pick ups for me.
 
There is an Asda in this town but I have never been. I don't think it's worth the journey on the off chance of half-price Icarus.
