Guess what turned up today

Only a download voucher for the game is included? Fuck you Zavvi
lol
 
If you get the XL from a retailer in a Club Nintendo country (e.g. the UK) and register your 3DS account as being UK, you can use the code inside the XL box to register your purchase in Club Nintendo, thus giving you access to the Mario 3D Land download. I'm from Sweden too and when Nintendo ran the "So many games" offer (where you could register three games in Club Nintendo and get a free download code for a fourth one) I did the same thing. Just remember you MUST buy the console and game from countries that participate in Club Nintendo, so that you get the Club Nintendo codes inside the boxes. (You can also often buy Club Nintendo game codes fairly cheap on e.g. Ebay)
Hmm, interesting. I'll be on the lookout for good deals on Amazon UK then. Cheers!
 
I got a Rayman (lucky I was sitting there camping it) but they charged me £25.34 for it I don't know why, I just had to put it through and worry about it afterwards.

I'll email them now and ask about it.
 
Sorry if I missed it, but I've gone through the last pages a couple times now and still have no idea, so what is the story behind it, Zavvi set a wrong price or what?
People ordered Tewaraway game, Zavvi sent out hardware bundle by mistake. Zavvi e-mailed a number of customers begging for them to get in touch to arrange getting a courier to take it back.

Preordered Tearaway £20 received Vita bundle valued at £150, some people have received emails asking for it to be returned, I've not had one yet and when I look in to my Zavvi account my Tearaway preorder is missing altogether. I'm keeping the Vita, cheers Zavvi.

Ah okay, thanks for the explanation, wish you luck keeping it.
 
I emailed Zavvi asking them why are they choosing to use a courier to expediate a return, when their delivery methods seems to take a month to arrive.

Disney Infinity Starter Pack for Wii U is £34.99 on Amazon Black Friday deals now. And 3ds version is £29.99.

If we take a ranking of family-friendly games with, say, the Lego games at the top, then Skylanders, then Knack (at least, based on the reviews, I've not played it): Where would Infinity end up? I'm open-minded about it, but not sold.

Loads of Disney content later on, which might sort some Christmas presents for my nieces. And I'm pondering the complete Tintin that's there, too. And the complete Community. And two series of Homeland. 'tis a good day for DVDs.

I would say DI is quite similar to Skylanders from the quality point of view. For me it is definitely under Lego games, but the characters are for sure appealing for the children. The one thing in addition for DI is the toybox, that can stimulate creativity and you can produce some very nice things there. And Wii U Gamepad is very useful for it. On the down side is the monetization of course.
 
Amazon fixed my Rayman Lightning deal thing, it was weird they mentioned they'd make a one-time exception for me like I had done something wrong. :\

I'm pretty sure its something in their check-out system messing things up because when I tried test ordering something else from a non-popular Lightning deal it comes up as the right special price in the order list but on the total to pay it is making it full price for some reason.

Is it because I'm from overseas and it auto takes out the VAT and makes things cheaper than normal price for me? So its messing with the deal price thing at check-out maybe. Its trying to figure out the -VAT of the Lightning discount price and just decides it doesn't want to.

Surely someone else from overseas has come across the problem too already and it would have been addressed?

Oh well. *shrugs*

Now I kinda regret cancelling my Tearaway preorder with Zavvi (I had even gotten the price down further with some kind of voucher, which has never worked with a preorder from them before).. :(

I contacted support but they didn't make an exception for me. It's in the terms and conditions of the lightning sales.

clause 4.

I ended up buying the american black/black 3ds xl for 150$ from the US amazon store.
 
NVM: I overcame my lazyness and figured it out.

Can anyone explain the subaccount thing? I never used it.

So let's say I am using my main account (UK) and want to setup my US Account as well. What do I gain from adding the US account as a sub account? Does it change the way I can switch between accounts on the PS4?
 
German GAF: Media Markt is selling 3D World early in Köln, don't know exactly which one, but you can check it out if you want the game early.

Just got a pic from my friend, it seems to come with a cover. Interesting.

 
Mine was also already sent from The Game Company, but that's most likely because it won't arrive here till the official release date anyway.

What is up with that sleeve cover? Is that standard? Seems pretty awesome, sorry I've not been up to date on so many SM3DW news, because Nintendo just couldn't stop spoiling..

And yeah, hope you have fun with it of course, enjoy!

Only Saturn and MediaMarkt have that cover.
 
My order of Tearaway from Curry's has gone...weird. Tried to get delivered this morning but is back at the post office as wouldn't fit in the post box (due to the 3 way plug adapter I bought to bump the price over £20). Then a few minutes ago I got the same cancellation email saying they're going to credit me the money back. So possible free copy of Tearaway I guess? That or a free 3 way plug adapter since Curry's still shows Tearaway out of stock.
 
You know, I ordered four games and one DualShock 3 from Currys with that code last week. I received four cancellation emails. Makes me wonder if the DS3 is on its way, still...
 
GAME have BF4 for £24.99

Arghhh, seriously tempted to buy it and upgrade that version too. But all my PS4 games are gonna be PS3 discs! :p
If Black Flag gets a discount then Killzone will be the only PS4 disc in my house until Infamous 3 :/

Any idea if the Deluxe Edition means you get DLC on the PS4 or if the upgrade just gets you the main game?
