KH HD limited isn't shop exclusive. It is a good game, yes.

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.

I ordered on the 10th and my delivery date is now 18th-20th. HUKD posters are reporting that some have been shipped already and that they're using Royal Mail 9am delivery.

(Pre-owned) The Bomba: XCOM Declassified (PS3/360) - £11.99 @ Blockbuster (use cide SAVE5NOW)

This preowned price is collapsing faster than a big thing that collapses

That's odd, mine says Tuesday 17th September. Weird that it varies between customer.

GTA V?

Yes, I don't really care 'cause it's a good price. Flubit seems to be on it but the fact that they work with so many different suppliers means probably different speediness.

I've my copy also ordered at Amazon, but it didn't change here :< Where can you see who supplies it?

If you ordered directly through Amazon, Royal Mail will be dealing with it. If you ordered through Flubit, Fireworks Limited will be shipping it from Amazon to you via Royal Mail.

To be honest you're more likely to get it early with Flubit than Amazon.

Hey guys, just a bit of advice needed. How much would you think a used deluxe Wii U with a game be worth?

Looking at eBay complete sales, £160 - £180 I would say.

 

[Phoenixus]

This is mostly gaming-related, but I'm looking for a good deal on HDMI cables for my WiiU and PS3. We've just upgraded our TV from a basic HD Ready to a FullHD with a higher refresh rate, and the sound and controller inputs feel a bit more delayed than on the HD Ready one. I'm guessing the basic cables that the machines come with aren't quite fast enough so I need recommendations on what to get.

Buy the most expensive ones.


Oooor just turn off any image improving setting your tv most likely have on as default. Alternatively use the Game setting if your tv has one.
New HDMI cables won't do anything.

HDMI cables are functionally identical, the output of the cheap cables should be identical to any others. It's probably an issue with your TV, maybe see if you can turn off any unnecessary display settings that may be introducing input lag.

Doesn't the Wii U come with an HDMI cable? Monoprice is usually the cheapest way to get decent quality cables.

Also, was your HD ready set CRT by any chance? CRT displays typically have faster response times than most modern display tech.

Hmm, possibly. I can't find CRT listed in the item specifics, but it did feel more instant. I'll play around with the picture settings and see what I can do. Thanks for the advice on the cables guys, didn't know that they all provide so similar a result.

Thanks for this, I got a load of free games before it stopped working (I told my friend and when he tried to create an Oman XBL account it said it couldn't be created).

Couldn't get them all because I'm still on a 20GB drive from a launch 360.

Anybody looking for a PS3 for GTA5 should check out amazon:
500GB PS3 super slim, GTA5 and the Last of Us for £199. Damn good deal.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BF6D48I/

Damn that's a nice deal. Now I wish I didn't buy a used one just a month ago... I kinda want to resell it and buy this.

Does anyone know if the warranty would be valid in France?

 

[Danj]

Does anyone here know what Green Man Gaming are like for shipping physical product? I ordered GTA V through them because they had a £5 GMG credit deal which effectively made it £30.99. The console games section of my account just has a single line that says "in transit", does that mean it shipped already? They didn't send me an email or anything saying it had.

Seems like a decent price considering Amazon.it sell it for close to &#8364;150. It's pretty much the normal UK price though. It's a good headset, I use it on my PS3 and PC.

 

[Keyser Soze]

No idea, I downloaded everything so cannot recheck

Stolen from HUKD: probably UK and DenmarkGAF only:

Soul Calibur V CE (PS3) for £14.95 @ Coolshop.

I regularly go in London for work, where can I find them for a better price?
Amazon UK lists them at 96GBP...

GameStop has them for £79.97 if you can have them delivered to somewhere in the UK. Otherwise 96 is the normal which is just a bit more than what you can get it for from the mediaworld.

 

[NHale]

Does anyone from mainland Europe used Gameseek? How is the delivery?

I read something about voice chat being a bit crappy pn PC with the Pulse Elite, is that untrue? If its fine, I'll buy a pair since it works with PS3, PS4 and PC

Damn, 80GBP is a great price! I'm just torn because I've heard the cans are VERY prone to break, apparently the drums' support cracks in the middle, and it would be annoying getting a warranty replacement down the road from GameStop UK. I even debated if getting the old Sony headset which seems way more reliable, tho it pisses me off that the price here is almost the same (like €23 less) than the Pulse on offer and I don't think you can use a 3.5mm jack to hook 'em up to anything that isn't a PC/Mac/PS3/PS4 (so music players, tablet, 3DS...). Decisions, decisions...

 

[oti]

Just a side note, not a deal. Beyond is completely sold out at Amazon UK. Crazy.

Hope it's OK to ask here:
Where's the cheapest to get an iPhone 5C and if possible 5S in UK? From the US Apple store the 5C comes to something $600-ish.

You would also have to pay import duties (up to something like 150$) and shipping costs if you're importing from the US.

Thought it would have been back on sale a while back but still nothing can't even find a boxed copy online anymore atm or in the local retail and there's no way in hell i'm paying scalpers for one >< should have bought that copy from simplygames when I had the chance

Anyone have acces to today's papers? Wondering what the supermarkets might be offering on GTA V tomorrow

http://www.amazon.de/Sony-PlayStation-Killzone-Mercenary-Memory/dp/B00EXSJLG4

PS Vita + Killzone: Mercenaries + 8Gb Memory Card for 169,- EUR avaiable on 18. September.

Think it is a pretty nice deal, considering to finally get one.

Going to the local Saturn and MediaMarkt to check if they will have it also avaiable for that price.

Yeah I'm having the same problem, also late to the party with FF14 and nowhere has it online or retail, physical or digital. Some Amazon seller called 6 Hungry Weasels has physical versions for exorbitant prices but I don't see why I should pay that much for it.
