Cheap Arse Gaffer (Euro Gaming) Thread 2 - Add to your backlog with ease

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Limited Collectors Edition is £12.85 (PS3) / £11.86 (360) over on the banned site.

Couldn't see this posted in the thread already; apologies if it's old. I have no plan to ever go back to FF XIII but having both collectors editions next to each other might be nice (and I liked the demo of this tbh)
 
Heads up: Amazon UK have a lightning deal coming up in an hour on Arkham City's CE (360). Might be a decent knock-down price.

FUUUUUU

I was coincidentally thinking of ordering that statue/stand yesterday for £20+ from Amazon.
Now when trying the deal through Gamestop they are all gone :(

I ordered Mario Tennis and Mario Kart on the Gamestop deal so should have a spare one coming.

You can have one if want, PM me and we'll sort out the details. Not looking to make money on it, just cover the cost of postage. I ordered them Friday so hopefully should receive them soon :)

Many thanks for the offer!
After freaking out for a minute at having thought I'd missed them, I managed to snag one of the statues from the Irish site. Cost a couple of quid more but still an amazing deal.
I would have definitely taken you up on your kind offer otherwise.
Thanks again :)

Gamestop just cancelled my Mario Tennis and Statue order due to stock issues :(. Ordered it about 20 minutes after it was posted here as well :/

Same here. They've offered a free shipping coupon with today's date, which suggests this was a massive cock-up and they had to create one. I'm going to give them hell and make sure I never buy anything from them again. I really don't give a shit about the Mario statue, but Mario Tennis for €18 euros was a good price. Fuck them.
 
I knew it was too good to be true :( I was really looking forward to Mario Tennis too, guess I'll just have to keep waiting - £30 is too much for a tennis game with no real story mode.
 
Hi Rebecca,

thanks for your email. I have to say I'm very disappointed in GameStop as I never thought you would be the kind to cock up a price and then try and pass it as a stocking issue. Several other people that ordered the same bundle on Friday night have received the same email you've sent me so it is clear that it was a pricing error. If you can't own up to your own mistakes, I would suggest you do not launch a bundle promo on a Friday evening when no one is in the office to make sure all the info is correct.

Also, just to let you know I did not use my card to order the bundle, but PayPal instead, so now you're forcing me to have this money reimbursed into my PayPal account rather than my own bank account. I shall be staying away from GameStop's website in the future and will ensure other people from the gaming communities I participate in hear about this as well so they can avoid falling into your "stocking issues" honeytraps.
 
My Mario order was cancelled too. I had a lot of faith in GameStop after they had Arkham City on my doorstep the day before release - now it's gone.
 
My 4200 points from the Microsoft Store deal arrived today if anyone's wondering where they've got to. Should be with you soon!

Mines been dispatched via UPS and because I sent them two angry emails they said they weren't charging me the £5 for shipping. So that's £20 for 4200 ms points.
 
Just got an email from gamestop saying my Mario statue and Mario tennis order has been cancelled. Bit disappointed, anybody else get a cancellation email?

Plenty of people. Also plenty of people have yet to receive one. The apology code isn't unique either and apparently its free delivery (so useless). I don't know why its taking so long to send out the cancellation e-mails. Even that is a mess up *still waiting for his...fingers crossed*.

If you have prepaid orders that have not yet shipped according to your order history
We will refund and delete all outstanding orders. Having said that; as this is a case of bankruptcy we fear that our accounts may be frozen at some point in the near future.

IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED YOUR REFUND BY MONDAY JUNE 25TH:
You must put in a claim with your bank, PayPal or Visa/MasterCard. For most customers this would be an issue for their local bank. Print this page and a statement with highlighted transactions. Tell them that you have paid for products using your credit card that you haven't received. Some banks will tell you that you have to file such claims within a 1-2 month period. THIS IS NOT CORRECT! Both Visa and MasterCard offer a THIRTEEN MONTH worldwide grace period for such claims. Be sure to INSIST on that despite what your bank teller may tell you!
 
I have a cancel email from gamestop also, oh well it was a little too good to be true.

Oh fuck. I actually had 5 games preordered there. They were the best source for US games without any fear of paying customs. But given how many things they changed around their site recently, it doesn't come unexpected. I hope I don't get any problems with the refund process.
