I hear nothing but bad things about them, Play, Amazon and HMV are the few sites I trust to deliver quickly.

I don't really use play anymore (living in Sweden), HMV is good. Amazon is amazing and so are simplygames and Blahdvd.

Ordered Ghost trick this morning from Blah (sold out at amazon), 3 hours later the game was shipped. And it will probably arrive in 2-3 days.

Guys, I have a lost order from The Hut from before Christmas.
I'm trying to send them a message through their website, but when I get to the point in which I should start writing the query, I can't, because all I see is a message from them saying that they a receiving a high volume of mails and that they are trying to reply them as quick as they can. But I can't send them my message!

Any idea on what could I do?

The game is Super Mario Galaxy 2, BTW. It's a good cause. :)

Quoting for the new page.
Help, plz? :$
 
Guys I'm looking for the best price I can find online for Hitman: Blood Money on 360. After reading EDGE's latest retrospective it's got me desperate to play it again.

My Account > Order History > Click the order you want to query > Big blue Query button

Is this what you're doing?
Click to expand...

Yes, this is what I'm doing, but I've found the problem already.

After clicking the big blue query button, I was seeing for a few seconds a text box, which suddenly disappeared.
It was driving me crazy, but I just found that it wasn't disappearing, but just being hidden away.

I was one click away from the answer, thanks a lot for replying anyways. :)

Dammit, apparently the PAL 360 version is region locked on NTSC-J 360s :(
I'll be there in the morning, hopefully the PS3 version is also that price.

Can you post up if the price is the same on PS3? If it is I might swing past later. :)
 
If anyone was doubting Bee.com no need to. LBP2 delivered from them this morning (even came 2 days before UK release)

Going by the zavvi 15% thread on CAG those 15% off codes posted somewhere above will be activated again this thursday, sounds like the promotion was delayed due to the code working on orders over £100 aka website problem.

Awesome, this means a lot of stuff will be at a nice price, best place for allards if you want to wait 2-4 weeks for delivery lol.

Should I feel guilty for always exploiting these things?

I got the dispatched email from them late last night, so hopefully I'll get mine today as well. I'm quite pleased with the service (and especially the price), will be using them again.

I have 15 15% codes now. Hopefully that'll last me until March 31st.

I have 3 but then that should be ample for me, trying to not spend money on things I won't play instantly unless its points or an accessory of some kind, still not played enslaved from december.

Cheap MSP, the code knocks them down to £13.50 or so for 2100 before they were pulled the first time.
 
Last week I ordered "Metroid Other M" and "Muramasa" from amazon.co.uk (deliver to Barcelona). According to the website, for some reason my order is only going to be shipped sometime in early february, if at all. I guess they have no stock of "Other M" (it was supposed to be "in stock" when I ordered). I am not sure if I should wait or buy from the other retailers who have it at the same price (Gameplay etc).

Also to my surprise now you can chose "free super saver delivery" even if you are in Spain or other european countries (for most products and for orders > 25gbp). That is good news, and would make them my preferred site after BLAH, but I am a bit confused about the "Other M" problem.

Weird, says 5 in stock for Other M at the minute....

Thanks, but I think that is from another vendor in the marketplace, or an Amazon partner. I ordered directly from Amazon when they were supposed to have stock of their own. I think I will wait. I will not play Other M anytime soon and I guess the game is going to be cheap for some time.

It's not supplied by Amazon UK, but from a third party reseller.

Amazon has an estimated 1-3 weeks dispatch time right now on that item, which seems to fit with the issue described.

EDIT: beaten

Yep, my bad - didn't go onto the actual product page, just saw it on search.
 
Guys I've been looking to upgrade my PS3 internal hard-drive to at least 750GB, the cheapest I can currently find one for is £59.90 on eBay UK . Can anyone confirm this is a good price? anyone know of anywhere cheaper? I would have preferred a 7200RPM drive too. Should I expect the prices to be much steeper?

Thanks in advance for any help Cheap Arse Gaffers! ;)
 
French GAF :
Just got back from FNAC and they had some interesting deal if you have the FNAC Gaming card. Some examples :

EA Sport Active 2 for Xbox 360 (requires Kinect) : 59,99€->19,99€
Battlefield Bad Company 2 (saw only Xbox 360 versions) : 29,99€->9,99€
Bioshock 2 GFWL (Rapture Edition IIRC) : 10€
Metro 2033 : 10€
You're In The Movie + Live Vision : 10€ (7€ on fnac.com :-D)
DJ Hero 1 with turn table : 30 or 40€


I think I'll pick up Bad Company 2 and Metro 2033.
 
I'm guessing it'll be asked a billion times before release, so I wanted to be the 1st to ask it :3

Cheapest place to preorder a 3DS?

I've preordered from from shopto, it's £220 plus they usually send their stuff out early, so hopefully I'll be playing on the 24th of March :D... 9 weeks. Too long!

You can make a bullshit address up using a UK post code (SN1 2DS), then refer 10 people while logged in and claim the 3 discount codes before you don't need the account any more, refer emails can be bull also like asdfg@gmail.com

*edit* pre-orders seem to allow discounts too.

If you want Super Monkey Ball you can get that + a 3DS at Asda for £227. It was £217 yesterday but they've raised the price since then.

It worked thanks for the info :)
 
Zavvi code can net you 3DS games for £~25 pre-order price, not too bad everywhere else has games for £30 still.

AssCreed 2 goty for £8.45 is the best price i've seen for it so far, same for lost planet 2 if you really want to torture yourself.
