damn... only 6€ more than I paid for my wiiu basic a few months ago :/. It won't get much cheaper than that.
I wonder if the price will rise as soon as E3 is over...

Rise? If anything, there should be a price cut. The Wii U is struggling as it is, and will more so when the more powerful competitors are released. The Basic model has been £150 quite a few times and the Premium £200. If they made that the RRP, it could help turn things around. I'm holding out for a £150 Premium!

You are crazy if you think you`ll get a WiiU for much less when they finally release their first party games xD
 
Kind of related question, does anyone know how Game.co.uk handles pre-orders, specifically those shipped overseas? Do they send the item on the day of release or earlier for it to arrive on the day of release?

They send them earlier in the week prior to release (I.e., if it launches on Friday of a week, they'll typically send it on Monday-Wednesday of that week). You probably won't get it at launch day overseas, and they typically start sending it out as soon as they have it, so they can't really speed things up.

I'm tempted by this but I don't know if I'll be able to handle the tension and difficulty of a game like this. :(

That's how I feel. I like everything I've seen, heard, read and played of the game but I cannot bring myself to delve in.

Eventually I will. In broad daylight. With loved ones around for support. With notes stuck above the TV reminding me it isn't real.

Are key stores allowed on GAF? I thought they were against the TOS?

These guys are like brokers for those stores. Smart business.

I thought only key stores from Russia etc. wouldn't be allowed. This one seems to be EU and the key is also advertised as being for EU.

Will check with a mod to be sure.

Got a reply from duckroll:
... I'm not particularly familiar with key resellers in general, but my understanding is that the dodgier Russian keys are outright banned because they could create problems for users. If the site seems legit, it should be fine though

I'm trying to double-check. Don't want to get banned for posting a PC code deal. EDIT: Duckroll told me not to worry :)

Although someone on the Steam thread is saying kinguin is shady indeed, but I wouldn't know.

It seems kinguin is somewhat like eBay. At least that specific key seems to be not sold by them directly. I'm not sure if that's bad already or if it depends on the key being sold. Because the actual key seems to be fine. It's even a EU ubishop download.

Depends on the site. Even Gamestop sells steam keys, doesn't mean it's shady.

From their FAQ About Us:

It`s quite simple. We have contacted many of those CD Key stores out there. We have picked the trustworthy ones - quite a tough verification process - and on top of that put our own Customer Buyer Protection layer. In other simple words: so many stores out there compete for your attention with product range and price.

Kinguin seems shady, they are like a cd-key comparison site using what mainly seems like the banned Cd-key sites. You can see they sell the VPN activated COD games etc.
 
Just spotted my pre-order for pikmin 3 has dropped to £34.85 on the place you visit to shop. Not bad, doubt anyone will be going cheaper than that at launch.

Good price but the Prisjakt user reviews turned me off.
Click to expand...

Needed a replacement for my old one, so good enough for me.
If you look at the "professional" reviews on Prisjakt the price was the most usual negative thing mentioned, otherwise pretty high scores.
Although "user" reviews on amazon.co.uk and prisjakt are, like you say, less positive, but good enough for me.

If Fuse is £5 at any retailer in the UK by the end of June I will buy you a copy and send it to you ;)

It bombed hard enough to be - and EA usually ships decent high numbers. Stock will have to be tossed out the warehouse door - I think it will drop under £10 at least
