Week of release, bad time for deals...

Was £29.99 @ Bee.Com a month back, but nothing great since then

Aye, I remember picking up Killzone 2 on release week for £24 somewhere. I'm sure it'll be sub-£25 in a month or so :)

tempted to buy just for joyride, adventures is a bit unsuitable for where I live due to jumping, live above another family :P

Pain in the bum that the 1st party Kinect titles refuse to drop in price. Want to get Joyride and maybe even Crossboard7.

I don't buy from thehut group any more either, different reasons but that's some real shitty luck you have with them.

Same here. Will never order from Zavvi after experiencing their complete fuck-ups first-hand. What a horrible, horrible company. I'm very happy to pay more money to a company I can trust (Amazon).

i can't seem to get the kinect and game for £99, did they fix an exploit or something?
Click to expand...

Wont work for me now either, although the whole bundle (+ console) will not work for me. Could be fixing it, or the whole offer could be temp down.

JUMP IN.. or not.

Where abouts are you entering the code? it's not working for me at any point of the check out but there is a box saying that I can use a promotional £10 off, which I don't think is related to the mastercard offer.

confused.
 
Just person just posted on Hotukdeals, 160GB slimline PlayStation 3 for £179.99 at HMV instore, maybe worth ringing them to see if its legit, great price.

EDIT - Threads been spammed but still maybe worth a try lol.

EDIT 2: Not spammed anymore.

Sorry, late with this... If you are still unsure, you can enter the code on the very last page before you confirm. The space is on the right side of the page right under Order Summary section. There is bolded text that says "Have any promotional claim codes?"

If you already tried that box, then maybe it is a cookie problem.
 
I hope the Move Sharp Shooter gets some deals.
But I'm pretty sure UK retailers won't ship it to mainland Europe :/
It's 50 € here, pretty expensive (in comparison to the US price of 40$).

Waiting for it myself, although I'm unsure how tiring it'll be to play that way.
Anyway, Amazon UK will definitely ship it, probably with super saver delivery as well.

Zavvi redux.

I wrote about Zavvi not delivering my games (Vanquish and Castlevania) many times here last november or so. So I got the money back for both games last december but now I got charged for Castlevania again. Which I did not receive.
Im not sure if I want to start fighting again with them since I thought the case was closed... Glad that I haven't bought anything from them since. (and will not in the foreseeable future)

edit: also they've deleted my account but still send me spam for their offers... perfect
Click to expand...
I still use them a lot but anybody should be warned that yes, getting a replacement or refund is a major pain in the ass with The Hut group, especially if you're not from the UK (wait will be longer).
You will get it in the end, but I think I had to wait 3 months last time, plus faxes and whatnot.
Definitely nothing like Amazon customer's service or even Play.com.
 
So I had a GAME code in my email this morning, thought I missed the deadline for claiming one.

Bought more Allards :P

I decided to pass for now, once some better games come out for it i'll buy one then.
 
TheHut has added DC Universe Online to their 2 for £25 deal. It has a "Usually dispatched within a month" tag, as stock is low everywhere on the game, but I guess they will ship once they get stock, so it does not have to be a month wait.

You could buy 2 copies for £12.50 each, sell one, and pretty much play the game for free (for the first month anyway)... well unless the price takes a huge tumble before they send the games out.

Well, it ordered MGS: PW when it was under 10£ on TheHut. It was stated as usually shipping in a week, and a few days after that, it changed to usually shipping within a month. I ordered on Feb 9th and it still hasn't shipped :/
I guess I have to wait a month now...

It's all about stock issues with these long waits, and not the fault of any store. Peace Walker is 1 to 3 months on Amazon right now, so it looks like Konami is not too concerned with providing any retailer with stock. I think Sony really want to get more copies of DCUO out there, so I personally think it will be dispatched well within a month.
 
You can get 4200 allards for £25.38 using Tesco Direct, two packs of 2100 and the £5 off 30 code TDX-MAT4, slightly more expensive then two lots of game.co.uk points using those voting codes but you can pick them up from your local store for free postage.

Reckon you'll be done with Killzone 3 and/or Bulletstorm by 10th March? If yes, GAME can guarantee you a trade-in price of £35, reports MCV.

Consider either title costs £39.99 and that means you lose only £5 for 13 days of play.

It's another of GAME's Play Now/Trade Later deals. GAME rocked the boat yesterday by announcing a guaranteed £190 for a 3DS if traded a month after release, by 25th April. That's only £7 less than GAME sells the handheld for.

GAME also offers Killzone 3 for £9.99 if you trade Dead Space 2, Test Drive Unlimited 2, Mass Effect 2 or Marvel vs. Capcom 3 on PS3.

Bulletstorm can be picked up for £4.99 if you trade Gran Turismo 5, Test Drive Unlimited 2, LittleBigPlanet 2, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Kinect Sports or Call of Duty: Black Ops.

I remember this being usual (only losing a fiver over 2 weeks) rather than a big deal. Those were the days...

Kirby's Epic Yarn will also be part of a similar offer, it's £4.99 £9.99 when you trade in Donkey Kong Country Returns or some other Wii game that I can't remember.

Edit: Changed the price and the other game is New Super Mario Bros Wii.
 
Tempted to buy the PS3 version as I'm probably buying a 3D TV soon. But I expect it to drop much lower if it starts that early...

You can pick up Black Ops from Asda for £25 online at the moment, so if you trade that in you can get Bulletstorm for £29.99, a saving of £10, and you can then trade in Bulletstorm for £35 before March 10th for a profit of £5.01, although I believe that's store credit and not cash.

I've just bought a second copy of Black Ops just to trade it in. It seems crazy really, but it saves me £10 on the Epic Edition of Bulletstorm, so it's all good.

Pretty sure these trade-in offers require you to have bought the game at GAME.

EDIT: must read better. NM. Worth noting for other people!

Well the dutch MSRP is 250 euro.

[checks amazon again :O:O]

OW wow they changed it again since this morning.... its now 160 pounds this morning it was back up the 189.

188 euro for a 250 gig xbox 360 slim is SUPER CHEAP in terms of euro pricing.
