ow yeah that is something that I could do :O did not thought of that, I have never canceled something from amazon before :P.

[edit] checked in my account and I can't ! :P:P
We are preparing these items for dispatch and this portion of your order cannot be cancelled or changed.

In case anyone cares, Zavvi are giving out Duke Nukem Forever early access codes with Duke Nukem Forever preorders - just got mine. It gives you access to the exclusive demo (coming in the future).

I guess you could preorder from them, get the code, and cancel.

I dont know what other stores are offering these codes in the UK right now. The code is also in Borderlands GOTY, but you gotta pay for that.

ShopTo have codes. They are also giving out free talking Duke key rings with preorders.

De Blob 2: £23.99 at Amazon.co.uk. Qualifies for free shipping. Might pick it up, I'm curious about the Move implementation.
Click to expand...
I was gonna buy it for full price here in France, because €50 is already better than €70, and now it's on its way from the UK, along with Blood Stone as a last hurrah for Bizarre, for a grand total of €56...
 
No doubt this has been posted somewhere (I checked 3 pages back) but if not:

If you sign up for Xbox LIVE Gold from the dash right now - you get 20% off (so £31.99) and a free game (the choice is Halo: Reach, Fable III, Kinect Sports and Kinectimals). The game will be posted out to you within 6-8 weeks.

I think you have to be Silver / free to take advantage. There's no timeframe on the deal - just says 'Limited Time'.

I was quite lucky in that my sub ran out last night. I selected to go back to free since I haven't been playing online recently and would pick it back up again when I did. Saw that deal though and jumped right in - haven't picked up Reach yet so that and a year sub for £31.99 is a great deal.

Yea it's a great deal, you would think giving away a free arcade game would work well enough :P and while my live time does not expire until july the last thing I really want to do is give microsoft my card details again :(

Any move deals and do you need the nav controller for Killzone 3?
Click to expand...
As a rule, you don't need a Navicon for anything. You can always use Sixaxis/Dualshock as a stand-in for the left hand.

But yeah, you need something in the left hand for that game's Move mode. Wand only won't work.
 
Anyone else's Bee.com copy of Killzone 3 still not been posted? I preordered it sodding ages ago, they better not have ran out of stock before they sent my copy...

Check your order and see what the status is. They unfortunately marked mine as "CANCELLED" for a bullshit reason.
(They said I posted a wrong amount of copies and for my own safety they cancelled the orders. I made 2 orders with 1 game each.)
 
My KZ3 is still processing and the website says 'out of stock'. Fortunately I bought a copy from hut (with the controller) as well so that should arrive today.

BTW, with the tesco deal mentioned earlier - I mentioned to snag the LE version of Kinectimals for £24.36 delivered...I've only just been able to confirm what my CC has been charged and it should turn up today :)

They jacked the price up: now it's £36.50

No, that is a Marketplace seller price, Amazon's price is now in the right hand "More Buying Choices" box, cause it is sold out. You can still order at £23.99 though, and they will ship when they get stock.

It's been "processing" since tuesday >_>
 
The Hut delivers!

They only emailed me after 5pm yesterday to say Killzone 3 was shipped and it arrived this morning. Though I had tried to cancel it earlier in the day because I never thought it would land today due to the lateness of it being sent. I thought I'd be waiting till Monday.

Phew, mine shipped already, but tracking makes it look like it comes from France... Is it possible? I've had CD's shipped from Germany before.
 
Man, this thread as a lurker has saved me so much money :)

Atelier Rorona (PS3) - £17.85

Just ordered this yesterday with the 10% voucher. Its currently a one-month dispatch but its also the cheapest price by a mile. If you aren't in a hurry to get it (which I guess you should never be with Zavvi/The Hut), I think its worth it.
 
Beatles Rock Band and Bayonetta (both on 360) are £2.97 in PC World. In-store only, and you might wanna call ahead to check stock in your local store as I would imagine stocks will be extremely limited.

I've been waiting 25 days for my copy of LittleBigPlanet 2 from Zavvi to get here in Australia.


I don't think it's coming.

My GT5 order took 25 days to be shipped to Switzerland (!), so there's still some hope for you. But to be on the safe side you should file a complaint right away on their site.

I wonder if there's a way to add the game after you've got the preorder? Don't want to cancel my preorder, but want to add Ridge Racer and/or Ghost Recon for that price...

I hope we can actually see some reviews before I make a decision on that, because right now, literally all those are 'maybes' for me; none definite gets, none definite no-nos.

HMV is £7 cheaper if you want Ghost Recon.
 
I'm thinking of buying Killzone 3 for my new 3D TV I'm receiving next week, but I'm having a hard time paying full price after being spoiled by this thread :)
Do you guys think it will drop soon ? anyone remembers if it was the case for Killzone 2?

Press is getting their review units any day now, so you shouldn't worry about that part.

Is there anything similar to the Bulletstorm GAME deal going on in Gamestation? Bought it from there so I don't think I can get the £5 trade deal..
Click to expand...

Actually, just came to post this. Apparently both Bulletstorm and Killzone 3 are trading for £35. Its on the front page of the site.

I've never actually used these promotions before. I'm guessing that when you go and trade in the game for the credit you need to reproduce the receipt from GAME or Gamestation showing the purchase? And I'm guessing the cash trade-in is substantially less?

I am only guessing, but I think Bulletstorm may cannibalize some of the sales, and the game could get cheap quicker than expected, as shops may want to get rid of stock. Of course, the opposite could happen too, and Bulletstorm (PS3) could see a quick drop instead.

Speaking of the 3DS, what are the best deals on it?
 
Just in case this hasn't been posted but HMV are doing their usual trade in deal for a new release. KIllzone 3 is only £5 if you trade in Gran Turismo 5 in-store.
 
Game's buy it at £196.99 with the possibility returning it during the month post-launch for £190 is pretty decent if you aren't 100% on the purchase.

Also I can't believe my IWOOT pre-order for £167.99 hasn't been cancelled yet. Fingers crossed.

Tempting. I had cancelled my preorder with amazon as was going with the game tradein. But as I can't transfer Dsi stuff until may, I might prefer to get the cheapest standalone. Hmv and amazon are tempting

Didn't think about that, people could prefer bulletstorm as you cannot blow out a man's asshole in Killzone 3 :)
I'll wait a bit in this case, but it will be hard to resist when I'll receive the 3DTV!
