Does anyone know if anywhere is till selling the Reach 360 console?
My 360 is on it's way out and my copy of Reach is buggered so I thought I might try and get one of these if it's possible and it doesn't cost a crazy amount.

I know this isn't strictly gaming related, but I'm looking for an external hard drive to put videos and music on so I can watch/listen to them on my PS3. Does anyone know any good prices for them?
Obviously the more space the better, but I want to be able to run it just off USB power, I don't want to have to plug it in as well.

I had a funny looking white and black jiffy bag through the door this morning, thought it was my gamestop.ie lucky bag but it's actually from amazon, first time I seen them use that sort of packaging for a game, normally in card.
Anyone had their lucky bags yet? I want to know what might be in it after paying £6 for it lol

just to add another story about zavvi/hut group:
Ordered GTA4 complete from thehut on the 18th last month... still waiting for it to be shipped.
But I get emails from them saying that they are so sorry
At least after a week or so they changed the "shipped within 3 days" availability status of the game on the website, it was offered in their sales promotion all the time though.
I'm not angry however, because I have a giant backlog this month

Indigo Starfish (one of the Amazon Jersey Merchants) use the packaging you describe.Diablohead said:
so amazon uk has started to use ups for their standard euro shipping and they've decreased the postage to switzerland too. so not only do i get a 20% discount on anything now (yay vat), the shipping is much less as well AND ups delivers my packages within 1-2 days. crazy. i got ac brotherhood within 2 days and a dvd box set the NEXT day. unbelievable. certainly beats royal mail's one week+ shipping times.
anyone else from europe notice this change? or does it only affect non-eu places?

Another zavvi true story: I received on monday my AC: Brotherhood ordered one week earlier... except my 360 is out in Germany to be repaired because the firmware upgrade made all my discs unreadable.
Zavvi finally delivers and MS screws me!

yes, you can track it. in fact there's a big yellow "track order" button right next to my orders in my account now. the sticker on the package says UPS SAVER. to clarify: i placed my order on monday night at around 8 pm, it shipped yesterday at 5 pm and the ups guy delivered the package this morning at 9 am. pretty fucking awesome.gogogow said:

Then its probably gone missing in the post (happened to me too often with play.com so I stopped using them) if its more than 14 days. There should be a way to contact them on their website.Michan said:Have been waiting almost a month for copies of Smash Bros. to arrive from both Curries and Dixons. They 'shipped' ages ago, and the payment has been taken out of my account.

I used them for something - can't remember what - a few months ago and I don't remember there being any problems.

I'm the same, I bought something from them a while ago, I also forget what (could look it up but I'm in a lazy mood). Don't recall having any issues.

I received mine a few days after it was shipped so odds are yours has gone missing in transit, I'd see about reporting it.

If this rings any bell, base.com is basically the same thing as dvd.co.uk (they even have the same layout), I bought some stuff from both sites and never had any problem. You should be good.Phoenixus said:Okay, thanks for the replies. I'll give Base a try.

The Pc version is pretty much broeken tho (I have it, should've fone PS3 for this one) :-(Diablohead said:
Anyway, I just wrote about this on the Touch gaming thread but I might as well paste it here as well:
Not a game, but I couldn't recommend enough, for any Cheap Arse Gaffer out there, the Find-Games app (Universal).
I honestly couldn't do without this for games and the DVDferret app for blu rays and dvd (same author). But what I love about the Find-Games app is that it also works for accessories and damn it includes pretty much every retailer out there, and the search engine is pretty damn solid. And oh, it's also FREE.

So if I order in Europe, will i pay the amount converted to euro? (240 euros?) Or is there something extra I haven't calculated?

Any of you ever ordered from thegamecollection.net? Are they legit? Was thinking of preordering Bulletstorm there. Thanks in advance.

The most expensive game I have bought since the start of December has been naruto ninja storm 2 for £17.95, since then I have had front mission evolved for £6.99, PGR4 for 2 euro and Crackdown 2 for £10 (zavvi never sent my copy out after 2 weeks so I bailed), three good fun games for the price of a new title lol.
Still waiting for my lucky 5 euro bag to turn up, expecting shit but that's the fun of it!

It's zavvi so pardon in advance, but their ebay outlet has white/black wii with Motion+ and wii sport resort for £139.99
i'm definitely not. there's no "free super saver delivery" for switzerland. i know they've been offering free shipping for many european countries, but this is obviously not the same. however, i have no clue if this "ups saver" delivery is available to other countries as well. it's the standard option for me, the only other one is the super expensive next day shipping (1 - 2 business days)... which is curious, since the standard shipping basically IS 1 - 2 business days at this point. i get charged around ~2 gbp for it usually.Turrican3 said:

you got a copy of reach from your 360 lucky bag? holy shit nice one.Keyser Soze said:Got my Gamestop Lucky Bag... better than I thought (for 22)

The rest is good stuff too, nice. I am expecting bomberman 2005 in my bag.
The live pack was good for it's price, geowars 2 even if you already have it is a good one to keep on disc, bomberman the same (I never owned it so its new to me), Ms. PacMan is a classic, was worth it mostly as my nephew loves bomberman now that he has played itLarsen B said:

Not just Reach, a scratch of code for some armour, and a lanyard with the game logo. Good stuff
I have being reading Boards.ie's thread about the bags, and there seems to be a huge range of stuff this time... some terrible (Bullet Witch, Dark Void, Science Papa), some alright (Stranglehold, Alpha Protocol) some (IMO) great (Reach, NFS Shift, FFXIII, Ghost of Sparta). I think i got lucky
No Kinect this time though, or any equal "super prize" (apparently one out of every 1000 orders got one last time)

is someone here familiar with the zavvi reshipping policy? I sent them an email after 1 month and a half that my order has been shipped and has not arrived...and they replied that they will send me a "self declaration form"...soooooo, I have to wait for this form to arrive and then do as they said?

Aw man, wish I'd had the money to try this. I need a new Reach disc! Knowing my luck I would've ended up with something terrible though.
