So I found two cheaper deals for Wind Waker HD standard edition. Maybe someone can tell me if these retailers are worth ordering from.
Play Asia (selling Euro PAL version), $54.99 converts to £35.32 and free shipping

Game Seek, £36.75 and free shipping, cards charged when order is placed

I've never heard of Game Seek, it looks fairly crappy to be honest.

Too good to pass up. I recently sold my MGS Essential Collection for about that much money on eBay alone and MGS4 for an extra 6 bucks or so. Looks like a win-win. Worth it even if they cancel.
So close to putting an order in just because it's so cheap.
But got to the payment page and decided that I'd already spent too much on games this month, and it wasn't worth the hassle of jumping through hoops since it's obviously a pricing error.
Gonna be kicking myself soon.

Fake (with DX genuine is the exception and usually says so). Depending on factory that consturcted them could be identical to official one barring some external changes (copyrighted things absent) or same mold but cheap materials.
Play-asia being hong kong based so import tax rules apply. That is if package is marked as being valued over £15 (thanks TheHut, play.com etc) then royal mail may issue a fee of £8+20% of package value. There is a chance the package will be missed but it is an expensive risk. Also will take weeks to arrive.
Thanks ordered that shizz. Too good to pass up (worked out at £13 with standard shipping not registered and discrete packaging)

Didn't order either, I think they will cancel anyway, the mistake is too big.
Also I already own 5 copies of MGS3 so I don't actually need it.

Thanks for the MGS collection info. Ordered. They charged my card (PayPal). This should be interesting. ^^
I got this earlier myself. I threw in The World Ends With You to take it over the discounted delivery mark. Ended up about 50p instead of the £8 or so it would of been with just Metal Gear.
D'oh! Totally didn't think of adding something else.
Thanks, will give that one a miss.

So what are the odds of me getting GTA V on release day through flubit? Tempted to just switch to amazon and spend the extra £3.

Probably zero.
They 'dispatched' an order I made last Wednesday and it's not here. Second time this has happened too.

Zero. I'm still waiting for my copy of KZ: Mercenaries.
I'll certainly never be using them again and I certainly wouldn't recommend them if you want games on launch day or even launch week...
Play-Asia has the Metal Gear Solid Collection for £13. Doubt it'll be honored though, it's already on HUKD. >,<

Tried my luck anyway.
Edit: Doh hadn't refreshed, didn't see it had been posted already.

Probably end up being charged VAT with MGS Legacy though. Added Radiant Historia to it.

I pre-ordered Donkey Kong Country 3D from Flubit and it arrived on release.

I think I shall take my chances, not even sure I can cancel it now anyway.
They make cancelling orders really difficult. I think you have to phone up.
I will rarely, if ever, do business with places that won't let me cancel orders easily. Although when I ordered Tales of Xillia through them (they gave me something like £5.56 off) I got it the day after release.
Yes, essentially GT prologue

Ah not quite as annoying as I thought then. I still prefer to use Amazon though myself. Flubit rarely ever actually give me good deals on things I want to buy at the time I make a demand for them.

Hey are you sure they ship consoles to europe, I am still not convinced, I searched and found the post that said no to me yesterday:

When I enter a product into Flubit, there's no obligation to accept their price is there?
Not at all.

Well, for the PS4 they put up a note on their page. So not shipping outside the UK might only apply to next gen consoles.

Regrettably, we are unable to ship outside the UK.
Apparently Amazon UK are now trialling downloadable Xbox Live points and Gold codes.
ive read on a nother german board where they all ordered the gtaV+ps3 bundle and everything is fine

Well I got Mario and Luigi through Flubit and it arrived 3 days before release lol. GTA is a totally different ball game however
Yeah, I really think its a combination of factors really, with the embargo that Rockstar have put up, I dont see anyone getting their copies early.
Yeah I can see many getting it day and date best case. I've always got stuff quickly so I guess where you live, the weather and even how competent your postman is will all have a play too. I'm kinda going down the rabbit hole here but it's true right? Or am I looking too deep into it?

That's odd, seeing as how points are redundant now.
This makes me feel smug about not ordering. Shame for all the other folks though, did they offer anything to sweeten it for those who got cancelled orders?
I'm having the same problem...
My automatic sub renewed and I'm locked out of the 3 months bonus. Called the Playstation line to fix the problem but in Portugal the line is outsourced and I have to send a mail to try to resolve the problem.

Im hoping at some point that points will be cleared out everywhere and go on sale but its not happened yet

Do play-asia usually include the shipping cost as the marked value of a package? If not adding radiant historia has put you over the limit. Of course radiant historia is rarely below the VAT limit line so it is something you were planning to buy eventually there is no loss.

I believe they do (not sure though). I think it's for insurance purposes. The amount you paid for shipping can thus also be recovered if your package goes missing.
