Batman Arkham City Not-The-Same-Game-Not-The-Same-Content Edition (Wii U) - 10pounds
@thegamecollection
it seems some Wii U games are currently going out of print. Deus Ex:HR Director's cut is already hard to get - I got the last one from a 3rd party seller on amazon.co.uk (13pounds). Need for Speed isn't available on plenty of sites anymore and amazon-uk wants 41pounds for it. At least Resident Evil Revelations is still available on zavvi.

Got this thanks.
I was recently looking at it on 3DS too for whatever silly money it is on the eshop, probably saved a fiver at least getting it on Steam.

Down to 5082. It's on pace for a sellout. Nice!

it's worth noting that this is the uncut version of the game, the EU has several small cuts toning down some violent scenes.
Edit: 1'414 left, go Jodie!

640 now. Wow...
10k seems like an awful lot for a site like Play-Asia to sell in one day. Its not even like $30 is a ridiculously low price for a game thats being out a few months anymore. I've yet to pick it up myself and intend to eventually...but I just don't know when I'd have time to play it.
That's what I said yesterday too. 10.000 copies is a lot. I'm not even sure Amazon would have had so many copies sitting in their warehouse. The crazy thing is that Play-Asia actually only slashed the price by $4. Their listprice was $31.99. By slashing $4, it was suddenly selling like hot cakes. Maybe the magic pricepoint for new games are below $30. I do think $30 is quite cheap for a very hyped, high profile, Sony exclusive title that's only 3 or so months old. Just that the price isn't the best you can get.

Since everyone seems to be throwing their two cents in. I'd say Play-asia and the popularity of this is more relevant to the prices in Australia or America rather than Europe.
On Amazon.com the cheapest new copies are $41.99 fulfilled by Amazon so that is a big saving there. Used copies are more than $28 too...

Words of truth - I keep jumping in this thread hoping same thing.
I had already noticed Lego marvel Ps4 at £ 30 in argos but bit frustrating a coop game has no online coop so not for me.
Cant believe some retailers not getting the offer itch after a few months of games being released.
The 360 and Ps3 titles of Bf4 etc have already dropped big time

The hybrid 360/Xbox One version of COD Ghosts is £30 in store at Grainger games if anyone has a store local. Think it is digital codes for both games, so it could work out fairly cheap for the XB1 version if you are able to sell on the 360 code on EBay etc

Nintendo Land was £5 just recently at Tesco if you're in the UK. They might still have some copies at your local store. Also GAME apparently have/had (?) it for £10 in store. Otherwise it's probably £20 at Amazon UK and GAME online.
If you're in Italy (going by your avatar), there is a 3rd party seller at amazon.it that has it for around €22.

Yeah, I used to live in the UK (5 years in London) but I'm in Italy atm, already noticed the 3rd party seller at amazon but it's preowned. Same for Zombi U. Thanks anyway.
Also, The Wonderful 101 seems to be out of stock almost everywhere besides Amazon stores (IT/UK). Damn.
I really, really want that game but I'd prefer not forking out 44, since Platinum's joints always go down in price pretty fast... on the other hand this one's published by Nintendo itself, mmmhhhh.
Btw, what about the Fit Meter? Didn't you just need that one to get Wii Fit U for free? Then how come do I see copies of the game + the fit Meter going for 50?! Best I could find for the FM alone is 27, still too much.
I own the balance board already.

So in the end I've deleted my Amazon UK's Wii U + zombi U + Nintendoland + Rayman for 250 shipped with:
Italian Wii U Deluxe + Zombi U + Nintendoland + Mario U/Luigi U bundle + Wii Remote Plus + nunchuck + 2 official screen protectors = 270 shipped. I think it's a pretty good deal... or do you guys suggest I should keep looking for something better? I've just paid it in full but I can still cancel (it'll be shipped next Tuesday).
The point is that I'm 99% certain that IF Nintendo won't reprint the Mario/Luigi U bundled disc to sell in stores in the future, making the Mario bundle pack the only way to own such edition, this sku will easily fetch for 100+ in a not so distant future. Even if that doesn't pan out, I wanted both games and they cost a pretty penny, while I'm better off just playing Rayman Legends on PC or even grabbing it later on for like £10.

Could you link it, I'm having a horrible time navigating the site...

Wait wait...what ? Dash is the deal still online/available ? Nice bundle you got there.

No Paper Mario 3DS, no LEGO City Undercover.
I only buy Nintendo games during those sales. Everything else will be either 50% off a few weeks/months later or land on PS+.

I assume me means one of these bundles but I can't find that specific one.

Yeah, but Amazon doesn't even sell the Wii U version at the moment. And dat price stability. Guess I`ll pay the Saturn in my town a visit.

This deal is still available! £3.61 cheaper than play-asia. Guess they just can't shift 'em like p-a can!
Not 100% sure but I doubt it on the basis they've refused to take Australian games off me in the past even thought they're PAL and fully compatible, some of those German games have German text on the covers which would make them less likely I think.
I would so buy this, I haven't seen a better deal in a long while actually. The thing is that probably Amazon.it won't ship outside of Italy as I just saw and on top of that I couldn't even find this deal after a quick search at least.
£25 seems to be a good price for it.
Haven't seen it cheaper anywhere so far. Picked mine up a week or two ago for £26.60 and it went up again after that.
Have to say it really is worth it though. Starts of very slow, but it's a terrific game.

Agh, I mis-spoke, the best I'm seeing is £30.
I might just hold out and grab the PSN version if I crumble at some point, thanks though.
Definitely a cool game - I enjoyed the little time I spent with the PS2 version, so I'm looking forward to digging a little bit deeper this time.

Do you mind me asking where you've found it for £25? I'm in a similar boat, bought my Vita on boxing day (i.e. the day after the PSN sale finished) and have filled my 16gb card already!
Cheapest I've found is £32 on Amazon.
*edit* Doh! Just spotted your reply!
Yeah, sorry about that - false hope
Just wait until you've shelled out for a 32GB card and are struggling to make room on that. It's not fun
I blame PS+. I hate juggling games installed, I want 'em all. Gimme a 1TB card, Sony. Stat.
No Paper Mario 3DS, no LEGO City Undercover.

3 for 2 also counts for preorders like Destiny, 1886, Evil Within, Infamous etc...
Those are the ones that I bought. Perordering Destiny gets you in the beta too btw.

£300 Mario deal on official Nintendo store is the best deal out there. Just cannot justify another console purchase right now after spending £500 or so on a PS4 and games and expect the Wii U to be £150 by the summer anyway when there will be even more games to play like MK8 and Bayonetta 2.
am I missing something? it's ~£40 a title and that's without considering potential import fees - seems not great for the outlay

Still got my £40 Destiny order with Tesco that came with £22 of clubcard deal value as well.
