Yep cancellation email too. Oh well, didn't really need it but would have been nice for the collection.

PS4 will be a lot less than £599. About half that if anything. It's just there is no official price yet.
Nice, now I don't need to feel bad for buying it at 27.

Is it a bad thing if I sort of enjoy watching all the angry and disappointed scalpers out there on HUKD?

Capitalism trolling at it's finest.
Nah, I also enjoy the glorious HUKD scalper tears. It helps a bit.
Amazon should have informed us first. We could have then ordered the scalper editions from eBay.

Kinda lame, was gonna be a nice present. 
Boo Amazon.

Fucking Microsoft. Another reason why buying into their console environment is complete bullshit.

£2 is my limit for that region locked mess.
Unless it's used that would never happen, so I'll grab when it hits £10, I do want to go through the story.
There is a great promotion at Gamestop in Italy (physical store only) right now if you want to buy a 3DS or a PSVita:
Gamestop Italy portables promotion
So, you give to gamestop 3 PS3/360/Wii/WiiU games that are valid for the promotion and you can buy the 3DS for 1(yes, only 1!) or the PSVita for 29. The promotion ends on June 2.

O_O
No list of games though, you have to search each game individually... probably so they can change it as they go.

If you want to take a risk Amazon marketplace seller Gzoop has Super Mario 3D Land for £10.99+£2.03 (UK). They have about 20 left. I don't see the game getting any cheaper but I've heard too many stories of them sending out completely the wrong things and then you having to pay to return it to them or go to a collect+ place and other inconveniences. For that reason, I'm not bothering as I don't want the hassle.

What would be the best pre-order deal for The Last of Us ?
Little bit OT but hopefully some of Running-GAF can help, if they're in here. I'm looking for a relatively-cheap-but-good pair of headphones for running outdoors, I have some good ones that I use for everyday stuff but they're IEMs so the sound of the cables travels up into my ears if I try running in them. I only need something cheap, but it'd be good if they'd last a little while and were somewhat sweat resistant. Does anyone have any recommendations up to around the £20 mark?

As I recently found out in the Beats thread, headphone people are insane. However...
Monoprice Enhanced Bass Hi-Fi Noise Isolating Earphones - £5.31 @ Amazon
...are pretty okay in terms of sound/value. They actually sound quite good (not spectacualr, but really good for that price)
Then...,
NuForce NE600X In-Ear Stereo Earphones with Flat Cable and Replacement Ear Cushion - £24.95 @ Amazon
...for better build quality (but not significantly better sound), but a much inflated price.
Jesus, I really need that second Vita for my US account. Quick, somebody find out a list of games they'll take that I can buy for cheap on zavvi or amazon uk :O
EDIT: damn, it ends on sunday, not enough time for that :/

Damn those went fast :/
wtf is this?
And just yesterday I got it from flubit for £27. How can this be so cheap?
Wait for the cancellation emails later tonight.
Missed this while walking home from work...ffffffff
If anyone else from Italy is interested, Dragon's Dogma PS3, Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen PS3, The Last Story Limited Edition and Deadly Premonition Director's Cut are all compatible. I'm rushing to the nearest gamestop right now, hope they won't make any problem lol.

Missed this but got 3D land (yes, Game finally shipped my 3DS XL yesterday).
3DS games look expensive but looking around, I've noticed amazon.fr sell all their games for 35 instead of the 45 RRP. I don't know how that would work out abroad but it looks okayish for people living in France.

Do they take games bought from Zavvi et al.? I've tried once at Opengames but they refused to take them (the barcode wasn't in their database or something).
Looks like gzoop has quite a few game discounts currently, all with limited stock.
Some that looked reasonable to me are (Dont forget to add £2.03 to the prices for delivery):-
Pandoras Tower (Wii) £6.27
The Last Story (Wii) £11.62
Another Code R (Wii) £4.33
Wii Sports Resort £9.13
Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater (3DS) £5.55
Kirby Mass Attack (DS) £8.58
Get them quick if interested!

You guys get that this is either a) a placeholder or b) Amazon trolling or c) both, right?

Well yeah, you don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure that out. It even says with big letters in the middle of the screen: "IMPORTANT INFORMATION: the price is a placeholder".
They usually don't change things very quickly, but it's possible.
Yes, not enough time for that, you have to use what you have or buy in some Italian store. Two days ago Inversion was 13€ on amazon.it, and it was valid. Now, unfortunately, the price is up and I'm not sure if it's valid anymore.
You should be fine if you have controlled the validity of the games on the site.
As far as I know, with Gamestop it's kinda random, some stores take UK games, others don't.
Nice one- been after Pandora and Last Story for a while. Now all I need is a huge bargain for Xenoblade
Yeah, headphone-GAF are crazy. I have a decent mid-range pair that I'm happy using outside of running, but I just need a cheap pair that aren't going to break if I get sweaty running outside, and maybe clip over the ears so the sound of the cables rubbing against my shirt don't transmit up the wires into my ears. Thanks for the recommendations!
Damn, grabbed Last Story and Another Code. Missed Pandoras Tower but only wanted it to have the trilogy of JRPGs.
Mission accomplished!
I can confirm they take UK games, they even scan the barcode but apparently the computer doesn't recognize the difference between GB and IT games (or it doesn't care) so it's all good. The girl at the counter didn't even check for discs, scratches, manuals or for the contents of the limited edition
(I gave them The Last Story LE, had half an idea to put it on ebay since I didn't like the game very much but this was much quicker given that it's not very sought after, at least in Italy). Now I know I'll never buy used game from Gamestop. Thanks a lot Cuddler, I don't usually check gamestop's website (nor do I go to the stores) and I would have lost this amazing offer if you hadn't posted about it. Cheers!Dude, Pandoras Tower says 1 in stock RIGHT NOW! Get it!

Perhaps off topic here, but I ordered a 3DS game via Flubit and the wrong item arrived (from Zavvi). I returned the item for a replacement and have now been sent another different, but equally wrong item. I've requested a refund now as I can't be arsed playing roulette again.
