I don't now if this is new or not, I just saw it in my HUKD RSS feed.
It's not really a EU deal, but I think it can be bought using a US address and a non-US credit card.

Well nobody will ever agree with the terms you laid out.

Indeed. Those terms are just ridiculous. There's no consumers right in the world that would agree with those terms.

You get paid the equivalent of £67 an hour in Sweden?
Click to expand...

Absolutely not. Of course, like everywhere, it depends on what your work is. I'm 18 years old and when I worked at a grocery mall last summer to make some money I made about 9-10 pounds an hour (on weekdays, twice on Sundays). And then there's 25% taxes on that of course.

Benedict is just exaggerating like crazy. If he makes 67 pounds an hour then I have no idea why he's even complaining. That guy must be so loaded he can buy any and every game he wants.

Not satisfied with Zavvis response for my two queries regarding the game:



Not satisfied with the answer.
This is between you & your supplier. Your customers should not punished for this.
If you require me to send the game back for a refund, I demand that you will pay for my time & postage in advance.
Postage will be between £8 -14. It will take about an hour of my time to go to closest post office & mail it. I value my time for this at 700sek (£67)/hour for loss of work time & time with family.
Other people have been answered they’ll get a full refund & keep the game. Why the difference? I have been a loyal customer @ Zavvi. Do you not value that?
I have still not received an answer why you changed the order description. Changing the order history is really quite serious because you are changing the contract post fact & therefore on the verge of fraud.

Sorry dude but although asking for P&P compensation is fair, the bolded is completely ridiculous and I'm pretty sure you realize that yourself.

Tera is going F2P soon, and is offering some great advantages for those who buy a copy of the game. What's the cheapest place to grab a copy, does anyone know? It's still £25 at Amazon.
 
So I have been following for some time several Classics HD for the PS3 and these titles do not seem to go often into cheap arse territory. In particular I am looking for Ratchet, Sly, MGS and Ico & Shadow (this one is cheap on amazon marketplace, but they don't ship to Spain).

Any suggestion about what would be a good price for each based on their price history?

I got Sly HD for 10 euros (new copy). Thought that was a pretty good price. That was at a supermarket sale however. Haven't ever seen it online for that price.

Doesn't the first seller of Ico listed on the marketplace (selling it for £14.00) ship to Spain (Europe Zone 2)? I think they do, but shipping would be £8.49. :(

For most Classics HD releases a price in the £15-£20 area would be a really good deal, I think. Even £20-25ish seems to be pretty good still.

First post and already asking for something:

So the prices for the 2 Kirby games on wii, DKCR and Last Story never seem to drop in price any time...

How long should i wait, before these games become unavailable or at least not new and sealed?
 
Nintendo game prices often don't drop at all. Only the most bombas of the bombas drop that have perhaps had a relatively large shipment of copies, otherwise you might be waiting for price drops for years, if they ever happen.

Totally. In Sweden we all have our own limousine -- and our own personal driver of course. We eat lobster every day, wear five gold/diamond plated clocks on each arm and we all own 100" TV's decorated with diamonds. Living the good life, sir.

Not really a gaming deal, bu you can get at Zinio $50 Coupon. Then go here, and enter the code, then get some mags digital mags

...there are some gaming mags (like Edge) to spend it on. Sadly they limit of subscription for each mag, so you cannot splodge on just Edge alone.

Heads up but I think it's a download code that comes with it so a trade in's a no go.
It was when I was looking to buy one at crimbo anyhow!

Well feck it... I guess buyers could still try eBay once the code is not locked to the console.

Whatever you do, don't actually play the game!!
 
Holy crap. My Looney Tunes Limited Edition was dispatched last thursday (from Canada!) and arrived today lol no idea how they managed to do this. And it's-beautiful.jpg
 
This is also not really a deal, but keep an eye on Amazon if you want this...

Price are already STUPID on eBay for the thing, so I cannot see it dropping in price down the line - it probably will not get restocked either.

I wish Amazon.co.uk had a better price for the regular edition. £39.99 is more than I want to pay. Zavvi is the cheapest option but I don't wanto wait 4 weeks until delivery.
 
CrunchinJelly said:
Why is it so expensive? Isn't it just some book thing and a little plush toy?

The actual game itself will probably be £18 soon after release.
Click to expand...

Lord knows I ha;ve no idea - but it is one of those few Limited Edition that I feel I want to actually own. Sadly, my need for bargain hunting means I wi;ll likely never own it

It's a hard cover 300+ pages book. Which you actually get to use whilst playing the game.
But yeah: overpriced like most LEs.

If you had preordered from Amazon they dropped their prices to £54.95 =D when it was no longer up for preorder XD so yeah whoo LE for much cheaper than other retailers =D.

Let's just assume the book is worth £20. (generous estimate by myself)
+ £18 for the game (rough estimate by CrunchinJelly)

That would still make it a £17 Drippy.

But the £55 on Amazon is great given the pricing elsewhere. (I coughed up £63 myself, I believe. :()

PS Vita WIFI Console, Need For Speed Most Wanted (digital code) and 4GB Card for £139.97, best Vita deal for a while I think?

Has anyone ordered and heard back about this yet?
After going out of stock it came back in stock for a brief moment on Saturday morning so I managed to get an order in before it was out of stock again, but I haven't heard back from it at all yet aside from the confirmation. No shipping email, no cancellation email, nothing.

Yeah I managed to grab it for that price too. Bargain. Unlikely that the limited stock will be as cheap though, probably put it as normal price since it's rare.
