Happy to say apart from a few small bashes on the box everything was as new. Even came with all the codes unused and the game shrink wrapped.
I think Amazon rate very conservatively. Wouldn't hesitate to try another game in "acceptable" condition.
The part where you said it had been four days sounded like you hadn't. Oh well, I've never had problem with Zavvi's customer service, the few times I've had to use them they've been pretty helpful.
Okay, so the problem isn't with the post offices in those kind of countries, but enough customers being dishonest, idiotic assholes. I guess they reap what they sow, too bad innocent people suffer the consequences too.
Yep, that was my point. The problem is that everybody has to suffer because of those idiots. Now we can just hope that insured shipping will get cheaper someday.
Thanks! I was waiting for this to get cheaper.
Wow. Nice price indeed. Resident Evil 6 is also the same price according to HUKD.

That's a shame. My £26.96 copy was dispatched by The Hut and got to me that release Saturday (late dispatch as I had a problem with an expiring credit card) so they definitely did send out the discounted copies. Yours probably did get lost in the post.Ok, so I got screwed over for the first time by Zavvi.
Had preordered Fire Emblem with them. I knew I wouldn't get the game on release date, but that was fine with me.
I got a dispatch email on April 17th, so a bit before release.
After 21 working days the game still hadn't shown up. So I contact Zavvi, they tell me to fill out a form, so they can "investigate" the matter and send out a new copy. Which I immediately do, and I email it to them.
Another week passes, no word from Zavvi, so I contact them again. They tell me they never received my form. So I email it again.
Two more days pass and now they emailed me they don't have any copies of Fire Emblem left and will refund me.
CS was friendly and all, and they can only do so much. But with all of this I missed out on the free DLC for the game. And since it never happened to me before (with over 330 online game purchases) that an order didn't show up at all, I wonder if they have actually really sent me a copy at all.
Anyway, it's a shame about the free DLC, but I can still order the game elsewhere. It's just that I had a nice price (£26.96) from Zavvi and so it's gonna cost me more now. :-(

Ni no Kuni -- £19.95 at The Game Collection
Hey Gaf,
as an owner of the PS3 (and I guess a PS4 by the end of the year) and with the PLUS subscription...
it's REALLY about damm time to buy a VITA.
What i want is a Vita with either a 16 or 32 GB card (no pack in game needed hence PS Plus), here in Germany.
Any good deals ATM?
I'm gonna buy it at the end of the month, therefore E3-Announcements at already considered.

Flubit just offered it to me for £20.50, almost £6 cheaper than my last offer that was a month ago.
Dammit, the promotion is not available here!
They had White, Black, Pink, Blue, Grey and Red (199.00)
Got my first bad apple.
I just looked at the stuff that I got 2 days ago from Amazon UK, 2 games sold by them and a "brand new sealed" copy of Little King Story sold by ClickForGames but fullfilled by Amazon and noticed that this one is hardly brand new or sealed, at least not with its original wrap.
The box shows the usual signs that are common when you keep a dvd case in a stack without the shrink wrap around it, tons of little scratches especially on the edges, it's somewhat consumed, looks kinda dirty and it is also slightly damaged (the sheet of plastic that keeps the boxart in place is coming loose at one corner), the manual isn't exactly mint either and the disk has a few scratches. Not a tragedy, but considering that I could pay around half what I did for a copy in this conditions, it's kind of annoying.
Tomorrow I'll contact the customer service and then figure out how much money and time it would cost me to return the product with international mail to get a refund and I'll decide if it's worth the effort, then I'll give my negative feedback and stick to Amazon proper from now on, I guess.

I wonder if I could put this through Flubit, despite being another country? Or does the site only deal with UK retailers.
Edit: Never mind, price is back up to normal now.

Not actually that important
Heads up: if you've never signed up for iRacing, you can now get 3 months for FREE instead of $30 (or $13 per month). Just signed up myself. Promotion has been going on for a while afaik but I just heard about it thanks to GAF's sim racing thread.
Here you get the code for the FREE 3 months sub:
https://www.cadillaccupracing.com/
Of course you can cancel your sub whenever you want and are not forced to renew with a paying sub when the free period ends, just ditch it before the 3 months end and you won't pay a dime.

Damn, I figured they were doing that in all their stores. Weird, these things usually aren't specific to a single store. Sorry for misleading you then.

Tesco voucher, bullshit usage limit I guess =/
Ubishop has a lot of discounts for games, up to 75% off, Assassin's Creed, Far Cry 3, Call of Juarez, Settlers 7, and A LOT more.

Did you add the voucher code upon checkout?

Ah, so tempting. Need it £15 or below, though. It's getting there!
Wow excellent price at £120, I just wish they made an all white one for cheaper...
Try Flubit, a friend got it for £14.87 from there.
I'm also waiting for that.
Quick question about online retail if anyone can answer this for me.
So say I pay 27 pounds for a game and this order does not arrive. I request a replacement, but at this time the price has dropped to 20 pounds.
Is there any expectation for the retailer to refund me the 7 pounds difference, or do I suck it up and accept yet another bad life choice? (Zavvi woes)

I tend to ask for a partial refund when something like this occasionally happens. Say how much you would like back, and that if not you'll have to return it for full refund + cost of return postage. I've never had any objections.
104£ was a fair price, don't want to upgrade to XL for 120£

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Thanks, I'll give it a go.

I think you'll be sucking it up. A lesson learned of always go for full refund* in cases of non-delivery. It is slightly inconvenient to reorder but it forces their hand on price drops. It is may be worth talking to the brick wall that is Zavvi pointing out that cancel+re-order saves you £7. Retailers better known for customer services might refund you the difference out of courtesy.
*-I learned that when my Play.com Klonoa order never showed up. I decided to go for replacement as they claimed they would have more stock in 14 days...a few months passed with no new stock showing up. I had to phone them for full refund.

Wow, Need For Speed: Most Wanted for 99 SEK. Even beats the UK. A shame I ordered it a few weeks ago. Also Crysis 3 for only 129 SEK. Really nice prices, but I'll pass.

Popped that into Flubit and got an offer of £30.70 (saving of 13%). Not bad for something I was going to get day one anyway.
I received the same message regarding The Last of Us.

Flubit as an entity is basically irrelevant in this situation. They don't send you games. I've heard stories of people pre-ordering and receiving their games nearly a week early. At the same time, you might get matched up with Zavvi and receive it in November. It's pot-luck.
But yeah I here you.Canis lupus

Any place that still sell TLOU special editions?
