Check your e-mail, SweGAF. CDON is sending out loads of codes. They just sent me a code for 20% off of every game (doesn't work on hardware and digital games). I'm scanning through their websites in an attempt to find something interesting, as 20% of is quite a lot, but everything is cheaper in the UK lol.

You can apparently use the discount code for stuff like Vita memory card - 32GB for 519 DKK which is £59 (just under Amazon UK price as that adds VAT for Scandinavia) and a year worth of PlayStation Plus which is 300 DKK after 20%. Those are some good deals, in my opinion.

But games can't really be found cheaper than the UK

Massive case of the too-good-to-be-trues, but anyone used this site? £99 3DS XL?

I wouldn't touch them.

The charts say "CD WOW" on them for no apparent reason.
The chart CD "links" don't go anywhere.
The "2 for £25" etc boxes look like they did on the HMV site pre-administration.
The "add to basket" buttons also appear to have been "inspired" by HMV.
They can't use transparency properly on their site design by the looks of it.

Edit: Beaten on most of those, spent too much time wondering if they actually had had the balls to rob most of HMV's images.
 
Haha, the best thing about the website is the name.

The url says "gamconet".
The banner says "gamco sales".
And beneath the home button it says "GAMCOUK".

Well, which is it?

Also, "Format: Brand New GAMEs Console".
 
Their postal address is quite funny too.

GAMCOGames Limited,
Studio 331, Highgate Studios,
53-79 Highgate Road, SWANSEA ,
NW5 1TL.

They've taken the number and street name from the address of this pizza place it seems, but changed the city from London to Swansea. Only thing is, they've also left the NW5 (i.e. London) postcode in there. Schoolboy error.

If you go to the Customer Service page, you will see that they are actually located in Oxford Street. Not the London one, but the one in Swansea. The address seems to be a Domino's outlet (http://maps.google.be/maps?hl=en&gs...2k&biw=1680&bih=921&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl). If there even is a number 819. Also doesn't seem to have 7 floors as suggested by the address.

Maybe if they would actually find a truck load that literally fell of the Nintendo truck in that street, you could still get them?

Otherwise a cancellation email is incoming and you will receive a voucher for your next purchase at GAMCOnet.co.uk.
 
Was this posted? 3DS XL White with Super Mario 3D Land/Mario Kart 7 for £160

GAME

Edit: seems like it's the normal price at other places? could still be useful for some people I guess..
 
So messing around with Amazon Warehouse deals I think I won. While this is not the most expensive thing sold directly by Amazon thanks to fulfilled by Amazon existing...

Hama Lens Cap Supersnap 46mm the Amazon warehouse price is £97,316.75

What causes the system to glitch up like that (underflow?). Checking out camelcamelcamel it seems like it has been messed up for a while with the peak price being £128,845.51. It did drop to the sensible price of £2.45 once upon a time though.

The best is this remark:
Minor cosmetic imperfection on the top or sides of the item. Minor cosmetic imperfection on the bottom or back of the item.

Somebody should troll amazon customer support asking them that they would be interested, but for the 100.000pounds price tag they would expect a product without cosmetic imperfections. And if they could drop the price a tiny bit.

It was £140 around christmas on amazon. I can't believe i missed that, it was also during a promotion so you could get mario kart, layton etc for free off the eshop :(
 
Oh man.
Please I need your help - I am searching for Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey (pre-owned is okay), where can I get it? It needs to be shipped to Germany, please without customs.

All the usual retailer stores don't have it and even the ebay market looks bad (I have been watching ebay over a couple of weeks). Are there maybe some more UK pre-owned stores that I might not know..

You're pretty late on this one and since the game was never released in Europe, you'll have a hard time (or impossible) finding it from your local Gamestops and such. Your best bet is to import it from North America. I bought my copy from Play-Asia about two years ago for 17€, but seems like it's OOS and even Amazon.com and VideoGamesPlus have a pretty high price on it, which is a problem when dealing with customs.
 
@Spwn: Yeah, I know, my bad.

@archnemesis: Yes, it really is expensive, but good to know that I maybe don't have to deal with the customs duty at VGP, thanks.
 
archnemesis said:
It's not cheap, but you can get it new from VGP or Amazon.co.uk. VGP always mark down the value to $20 so it will slip past customs (at least for me). I haven't used them lately though.

They still do. I had Soul Hackers arrive from them just the other day marked at $17. Also came in a large box to prevent the cardboard sleeve being damaged, and took four days to get from Canadia to my doorstep. Great company.
 
I don't know if it's the appropriate thread for this, but does someone know where to get the Killzone Trilogy [european PEGI] the cheapest? All I know is Amazon, but this is quite expensive there (£44.95/€53.36). The US version would be cheaper, but wouldn't I be forced to play multiplayer on US servers then?
Thanks in advance.

No. You select your region manually and can change it at any time.

The set was a GAME exclusive in the UK, so that ruled out any decent prices for it here at least.

For both, KZ 2&3? Sounds good. This means I don't need to worry about this anymore. Will go with the US version then if that's the case. EU version is expensive as hell.
 
Unofficial Classic Controller Pro - ebay £4,17 (UK) - ~6.12€ (Rest of Europe)

Works with the Wii and the Wii U and according to some is preferable to the Wii U Pro Controller

Edit: Edited title based on jimi_dini pointing out that they are lacking the Wii text. Quality and feel and all that jazz are not guaranteed Nintendo quality.
 
haha wow @ that GAMCONET site, deal of forever on there under 360...

Xbox 360 120GB Elite Console + 2 Wireless Controllers + 3 Games: Assassin's Creed + HALO 3 + Forza 2 & 1 Month gold membership!

how much for this cutting edge 360 model?

£389.99
 
I know I'm probably in the minority in this thread but I always try to buy from local companies and companies that have a history of paying their tax in the UK (mostly shunning Amazon, The Hut et al). But this flubit site is saving me so much money when I do use it it's hard to give a crap.

Uh official controllers have "Wii" written on them. And this one hasn't. Unless Nintendo removed the writing, those controllers are not official Nintendo ones.
Seller is also in Hong Kong.

Description also says "Classic Pro Stylish Controller" and "It is not a certified Nintendo controller"

It's even mentioned in the description: It is not a certified Nintendo controller

Just ordered Soul Sacrifice on the Vita with Amazon and they are offering a free FIFA download code as well. Had a check on Hotdeals and seems someone already posted the deal and it's mentioned that it's FIFA 13 not the first FIFA.

Ugh, I preordered Soul Sac from Amazon a couple of days ago, I don't suppose we should expect them to add FIFA codes retroactively to those of us who have previously ordered? Could I cancel my order and place a new one to get this?

Didn't read that much (I just woke up). But those weren't mentioned here and that's why I mentioned it. Otherwise some people may just buy it based on the photo and that looks quite similar to the official Nintendo one.

The guy didn't claim it was an official controller. Indeed, he specifically said it may be preferable to one.
