Nooooooooooooooo I missed Pandora's Tower and Last Story, really wanted those :( :( :(

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!

They're not super cheap, but I have to recommend the Sennheiser CX 680i. Best pair of in-ears I've ever had. Bought them last march, use them on average a couple of times/week for working out, and they're still going strong with no signs of glitching or anything else. The build quality is what I'm most impressed with, considering I frequently get them snagged on stuff and pull the cord out, and the amount of sweat that has been poured into them. They're made for sporting use (Adidas co-branding even) and have fins that keep them from falling out of your ears, also two clips so they do stay put.
 
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.


Those Monoprice ones are fantastic for the price.
 
Yeah, I actually ended up ordering those. At just a hair over a fiver you can't complain. Will use those until I decide whether me going running is a fad I'm going to give up quickly on or not, and if not I'll look for a decent pair of bluetooth sport headphones.
 
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.

Holy fuck!
But basically 90% of my games are PAL UK, goddamn! I guess I can try my luck anyway
 
Play.com are selling the Wii U Basic for 149,99 GBP as a "one day deal". That's a pretty good deal, isn't it?
Seems to be UK only though, as when I change the currency from GBP to EUR it goes up to a considerably less appetizing 299 EUR. Too bad, otherwise I might not have been able to resist.
 
Someone else still have their Animal Crossing 3DSXL pre-order from weeks ago open? Mine is, although its releasedate hasn't been updated. I'm guessing Zavvi will break my heart eventually, but Animal Crossing's release is near so I have some hope.

Looks like the cheapest it's been, yeah. :)

EDIT: Haha, that's from ShopTo who list it at £180 on their site. :s
 
Hi ....,

Thank you for your message.

I'm sorry that you have not received your order. I have requested a replacement to be sent to you, but can you please just check your address on the order is correct.

Once again please accept our apology and if there is anything we can help you with then please let us know.

Kind regards,

Zavvi

Well well, isn't this something!
 
Zavvi is so random (and everyone knows this already but still.)

Ordered Injustice, would have been nice to receive it within a week or so. It took 22 days using air mail from UK to Finland. Ordered two Blu-rays, both sent at the same time. One arrived three days later, the other is nowhere to be seen but will probably arrive in, oh, about 22 days.

I liked Zavvi/Hut more when it was consistent 5-6 days.

I believe they were exposed/confessed to send their stuff through the US to avoid taxation or something and then from the US they send the dvd/blurays, IIRC.

Yep, I still have mine. People who have had their orders cancelled were told it was because Zavvi couldn't reach demand. I hope the ones still open will be honoured.
 
HOLY FUCK!!?!?!??! i check twice a day this thread and yesterday i went earlier to bed due headache and then a miracle happened-.- last story iam still waitin for it...
 
Mission accomplished! :D

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 O.o (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!

Awesome, I usually don't check Gamestop too, it was really random. Anyway, I'm glad that my post was useful to someone. :)
 
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).
From my own experience on the matter, I'd say there's basically no definitive answer.

Sometimes the clerk will force the system into accepting UK games, sometimes they'll just plainly refuse to trade the game in.

My advice would be to try and see what happens, even on two or three different stores if possible.
 
Microsoft have taken the money for that points deal from the other day, but still no sign of the points. What's the status of everyone else's at the mo? Should just come to my email, right?
 
Looking for the best deal for Last of Us pre-order (to Germany). No interest in Special Editions or pre-order extras, just the game. Any suggestions? Preferably payable with PayPal.
 
Don't really know if this counts as a deal considering the other versions are much cheaper, or if someone has already posted it, but Need For Speed: Most Wanted U is £24.85 at Zavvi, which is the cheapest I have seen it at.

da faq? I wanted to use this on Soul Sacrifice but the price jumped from 24£ to 34£ today on both zavvi and thehut. Price error?

Thanks anyway!
 
Does this steelbook version not include the original front cover from the standard edition inside or anything? Don't understand why they do that if that's the case.

I don't think it does, which is a real bummer. Sadly the steelbook version includes additional ingame content, so you would miss a piece of the game if you go with the standard edition.
 
Argh, PS3 version is gone. I kind of want to give that another go since they patched it but single figures is definitely my limit.
