Ordered a game yesterday at 9AM from Game.co.uk & it arrived today. Kind of shocked as they normally take 3-5 days to arrive (UK). And they included a free Moto GP13 companion guide book.

Maybe one of your neighbours works at the GAME.co.uk warehouse, saw your order and put it in your mailbox? ;-)

Game have always been excellent for me in terms of delivery, so fast, I live near to the warehouse but i've been in different places over the last few years and still had games turn up incredibly quickly. Great service.

They've been quite quick recently, especially on deals. Pre-orders are still a bit hit or miss ie. Fire Emblem turned up on the following Monday for me whilst the Last of Us got to me a day early on the Thursday. Still way better than they ever were and prices are getting better too.

The Witcher 2 is a lot cheaper ($5,99) in the GOG summer sale... also is that site legit?

Edit: Oh, sorry, yours is an XBOX key.

I forgot to specify Xbox 360, sorry! Well they're part of Simply Games who I have ordered from before and never had any issues with so I assume they're good? I am going to order the Xbox Live 12 months code next week at some point.
 
Do 3DS download codes ever go on sale?

I'm digital only with my 3DS (yes, I know..) and wouldn't mind some deals. Considering I only buy a new 3DS game once every few months I don't mind paying the £32.99 GAME charge online but curious to know if there's ever any deals hitting towards the £20 mark.

Please tell me I can trust this site.

If they're SimplyGames, if it's been a long time since you last bought from them, they may ask for ID, which for me is a problem as the ID I have isn't on their approved list. So IMO they can suck it. Steam doesn't ask for ID, Green Man Gaming doesn't ask for ID, GetGames doesn't ask for ID, if they can't be bothered to implement industry standard card verification procedures then I will take my money elsewhere.
 
Okay, so I tried the Witcher 2 deal above but my credit card number won't fit at the checkout, even though it's on the list of supported cards on the side. Anybody know what to do, or am I just shit out of luck?

Occasionally they will go on sale on the eShop for a limited period. So it's possible but it's pretty infrequent so far.

You probably need to type it without spaces or dashes?
 
Huh, that's weird. Can't say I've ever heard of a credit or debit card number with more than sixteen digits. What sort is it?

Did we ever get white Wii classic controller pro and white Wii U pro controllers in the UK? I can only find black ones.

You'll have to look at imports. The Classic Controller will definitely be fine while the pro controller has a battery inside of it ruling out Japan import. Just watch out for counterfiets (these tend to be under £10 and might be missing the words Nintendo, also quality is all over the place, some have stiff analogues).

I think White Classic Controller pro was not released to avoid it getting confused with Classic Controller or something silly like that*. Then again it was released in Red for some reason (Amazon is the only place I've seen selling it for around £25).

*-I really dislike how Nintendo handled colours. Find me a Pink nunchuck that is not a Chinese counterfiet? Then again this kind of thing is nothing new. Black only Game Boy Player for instance...
 
Damn you Naughty Dog.

What is the cheapest The Last of Us available so I can flubit, that £40 digital copy looks more tempting as the days go by.

As I feared. :( At least Play-Asia have okay prices on them. I don't know why Nintendo have to be funny about this, they should at least have their own online store and pop them on there.

Thanks.
