(£27.90 using the 20% off code 20OffGames-1)

Right with Tesco Entertainment even though I used the voucher it didn't show up on my invoice, Should I be concerned?

Edit: Yahoo Blops just arrived.
 
GAME just dropped forza ultimate to £7.99, its one quid more then gamestation but if you have some spare points to spend you could get this game extremely cheap.
 
Just realized that the last 3 days has really taken a toll on my cash, Dead space 2, £9.99 nuts&bolts, RE5 pc, forza 3 UE, some other stuff due to hotukdeals (i'm becoming an addict to that website!) and only a few days ago I bought 3 for £10 and 2 for £15, I best hope my new job kicks in next week :P
 
For anyone looking for a cheap arcade stick for MvC3, GAME have currently got the Hori EX2 (and whatever it's PS2 equivalent is) for £24.99 instore. Our relatively large store only got 2 of each, so if you want one you'll need to grab it quickly.

There were a large number of other price changes today as well, most were still more expensive than online but Golden Sun: Dark Dawn had dropped to £19.99 and Professor Layton & Pandora's Box was either £19.99 or £24.99 (can't remember exactly, there were WAY too many price changes to keep track of). The headline price drops are Black Ops for £29.99, Dead Space 2 for £27.99 (£19.99 on PC) and Mario Galaxy 2 for £27.99 which are still pretty decent if you've got some store credit or something.

Yep thats right the discount didnt show on mine either, I hope its normal practice lol.


Also guys I wanted to know if Zavvi preorders made before the codes were pulled are ok, because I ordered 3 games for £32.80 ish each, with the 15%, but since the voucher were pulled, the prices on my now order say ~£38, but the total order is still £98. Just wondering if your orders are the same?

Update: I have only been charged the discounted amount, so there shouldn't be anything to be worried about.

The bolded ones are probably related to this. If you fill it in you'll get an e-mail for an online £5 off the games on the shortlist. I guess they're extending it offline (online you need the voucher to get Mario for £27.99)

As hotukdeals point out Limbo counts as XBLA points card so you can use the £5 off voucher for 2100 points for £11.99.

Not quite. The in-store BAFTA offer is a bit different, basically anything on the BAFTA shelves comes with double reward card points. It seems to just be a coincidence as Heavy Rain is part the offer and hasn't been discounted while Mario Galaxy 2 was also on offer last week as well.
 
Cheers for the RE5 heads up - no DLC and GFWL distaste wasn't enough to dissuade me.
Anyone who dips and needs a co-op partner add me on: Banana Barons

Dead Space 2 (360/PS3) - £23.85 (€28.45) @ Zavvi

Definitely the bes price outside UK at the moment, especially with Zavvi offering free shipping currently
Click to expand...

Wait. Zavvi is offering free shipping outside of UK ?
EDIT: Sorry, I didn't click on the link before posting :lol Pretty nice !

Anyway, pre-ordered T3B on Play.com. It's the best choice for people outside of UK right now.
Play.com price is equal to Amazon's, but shipping fees are cheaper.

Unfortunately Tesco doesn't ship outside of UK, any other site that has in stock MPT and can shit at Europe?
Click to expand...
Amazon.de have it for 40 Euros. I'm pretty sure they ship to places in Europe and the game should be in English if the Wii is set to that (but I can not 100% guarantee it due to not having a German copy on hand).

Edit: Noch 1 Stück auf Lager. I guess that means be quick or wait for go knows when a restock will be. Also some of the marketplaces sellers aren't much more expensive than that and ship to Europe for 8 Euros.

I still have a 2100 pack for £13.50 on my dvd rack in plastic seal, lol.

Thanks for the answer but i am afraid that the box and the rest of extra stuff will be translated at German (i bought a copy from the official distributor here at Greece when the game first released and it was ALL translated at Greek [not the game of course :p]).

Hope that a friend @ London can buy it from Tesco and ship it to me.

Someone must have cancelled their order...nonetheless, I bought it last week as I was afraid that it would reach high prices pretty soon.

The game is in English but has German packaging.
 
Morrisons are dropping Dead Space 2 to either £24 or £25 (can't remember which) starting Monday for those who prefer to buy instore.

Thanks for that, I picked up Golden Sun today at that price. Gonna hold onto that for the next 28 days in case The Hut can't ship my 2 copies for £23. They also had Ghost Trick instore for £22.99 which I also picked up (but Tesco are doing that for £19.20 if you use their 20% off voucher).

GAME and HMV (Oxford St.) also have 3DSes for customers to play with instore. Didn't expect the hands on for us plebians to be so early. Aqua Blue 3DS is quite pretty in person.

sweetmotherofgod.jpg my copy of forza came in just over 24 hours, lately royal mail in my area has taken 3-4 days to post stuff.

Stellar.

Yeah, I got it today too. Crazy delivery times - i'm definitely using Gamestation again.
 
 
Using the SAVE5 code and free shipping promotion, The Hut's Killzone 3 L.E. with the junglegreen DS3 controller came at about €67 shipped to Italy, not a bad deal :)
Now I can play split screen again, since my 2nd DS3 just died.
Walkers 15% off codes are still working btw, but it seems they are not stackable anymore.
 
how are the hut for delivery? Ive ordered the Killzone 3 + Dualshock package, just wondering if it will be here for release day. thanks

It's really inconsistent. Shipping from mainland UK (everything above 18gbp) should be quicker though.
Rule of a thumb is you don't buy games at Hut group for speedy delivery, but for price.

Amazon rarely do any big code offers like Zavvi... nothing going on now that I know about.

Thanks Keyser :( I know I will save money now as opoosed to a year ago but we all like that little bit extra for free though.
 
How many copies of Crysis 2 Limited Edition are going to be sold, any info on that?

27 pounds is at least 7 more than I want to spend on it, but I was in a store today and the box is SEXY as hell. The embossed nanosuit is really, really nice and if I have to pre-order to get it, meh, it won´t kill me.

It'll be limited for around 6 months and then 6 month after that release it with all the dlc, like they did with BBC2
