There's no replay value. It's 15 to 20 hour long game with a couple of post game matches and that's it. Absolutely worth the price, though.

Hm, yeah. My problem is that I already know the story and without replay value I will be bored. Probably waiting for the 3DS game. Avatars should be awesome gameplay wise :P
 
Mine still says £2.98 too.

I had a look in my local GAME as well incase there was any good deals. Couldn't really see much that I wanted though.

Edit: Just got a cancellation email for that castlevania...

Thank you for ordering Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Collectors Edition from GAME.co.uk.

Unfortunately, there was an error in our system which caused this product to appear on our website.
This product has never been sold on GAME.co.uk and should not have been displayed.

As a result we have cancelled your order and no money has been taken from your account.

We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
 
Got the email too :(, "Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Collectors Edition (Game Exclusive)", "Sorry we've never sold that before, ever!"

To be fair, that statement would be completely true about the Mass Effect 3 N7 Collector's Edition (Game Exclusive).

very good point sir.
 
Has anyone heard what shopto are going to be selling FFXIII-2 for on Sunday? I got this in an email...

We've got some great deals planned for this Sunday including Final Fantasy XIII-2 at the cheapest price on the net!

... so I'm unsure. £0.48 and I might bite. Presumably it'll be £15, worth keeping an eye out anyway.
 
Did you get it in the end? The Amazon reviews don't look too good, I need a case that can store the more than 5 or so games in them, this one looked nice but the reviews are putting me off.

No did not go for it. Decided to wait a bit in hope that something better comes out. I really just want something to hold the games, so a console/game case is a bit big.

I ended up getting it as I wanted one that could hold a lot of games but I really can't recommend it. The reviews about the pouch on the back for the Vita itself are accurate, with having to slide it in at an angle. Doesn't really protect the thumbsticks much either, although facing the middle they have the games + cables on it, but I'm not really confident of it providing much protection.

Same for me really, it's a bit annoying removing/inserting them from the cases.

Cheers, will definitely give it a miss.

Hopefully something better comes out, wouldn't mind something like the DS carts case from the US Club Nintendo rewards.
 
Put an order in at each site, thanks.

But going by their track record, it'll definately be cancelled.

lol.

Anyway I swang past Gamestation today and holy hell is that place barren. Still, they had so many deals on I was overwhelmed. Picked up Killzone 2 for a friend for 45p. Hoping I can get him to play online with me.

But there were so many great deals there guys. I definately reccommend you go there to see what's on offer.

I might go back tommorow and pick up Resonance of Fate for £7.

My GAME haul. £1.98 each, except Stranglehold which was £1.

Also got Link's Crossbow Training for £1 at another GAME, and got Advance Wars: Dark Conflict coming in the post for £1.

Some good deals I passed on:

Ghost Trick for £8 in GAME (just bought on iOS for £7)
Ace Attorney 4: Apollo Justice for £8 in Gamestation
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption for £2 in GAME (Argh! Got it for £10 in an earlier "deal")
Resident Evil Zero on Wii for £8 in GAME
Deathsmiles for £5 in GAME
Wario Ware DIY in Gamestation for £5

Good luck everyone.
 
Meh my Game and Gamestation were pretty bare :(

I got Ridge Racer 3D for £6.98
Fallout 3 for £1.98
and that was it.

Saw Wii Music at £4.98, Yakuza 4 and LA Noire both at £7.98 and Uncharted 3 for £19.98.
Would've snapped up Disaster Day of Crisis at £1.98 if I didn't already have it.
Get Fit with Mel B for £0.48 made me smile. I should've tweeted her a pic of it!
 
Used the last of my credit to get:

HOTD: Overkill Extended Cut - £8
Advance Wars: DC - £1
Dead Space 2 - £5
Ghost Recon 3ds - £8
LA Noire - £8

Also got Gears 3 for £8 after using the Gameplay voucher. Pretty good haul but I do feel for the staff, a lot of my good mates work for the group'.
 
Went into game before, there wasn't any DS or PSP games in the baskets that had the £2 games. I wish I had more of a look around though, I would have loved Ghost Trick for a decent price.

Anyway, got Dark Sector, Aliens vs Predator, Alpha Protocol, R* Table Tennis and Pikmin for just under a tenner, so I'm pretty happy.

On an unrelated note, I had a bit of a scare when trying to get Mass Effect 3 in hmv. I was using some love2shop vouchers and the designs weren't on the board behind the counter, had the sickening thought that my mum had got a batch of counterfeits. He did eventually accept it but I'm still a little worried, the design isn't the same and it doens't have the same foil sticker.
 
Neither Westfield GAME nor Oxford Street GAME had anything particularly interesting. I was hoping for a good deal on MS Points but alas nothing :(
 
thehut.com

new codes
THC3 - 3pounds off 30pounds
THC5 - 5pounds off 50pounds
THC10 - 10pounds off 100pounds
Thanks!

I'm going to switch a preorder from Zavvi to thehut with the THC3 coupon, so I just made an account there. However, the code isn't working. Is it a one use code, or might it be cause I just registered there?
 
My Gamestation was pretty good. I think they had only priced up stuff yesterday as I arrived at opening and the Wii shelf was taken away for them to scan the hundreds of games through (suggesting they only finished the other systems the day before).

Lots I passed on (to be honest most of what I did buy is play it out of curiosity and the prices they were at will be acceptable losses) but anyway, some random (hopefully new) highlights are:
Solatortabo: The Red Hunter £12.97
Madworld 49p (21p profit if you trade to CeX...not even enough to get the Beano anymore...could always get the i instead)
Hotel Dusk, Last Window, Ace Attorney franchise games were £7.98
Brain Training, Sight Training etc £1.98
Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn £7.98 (btw, did anyone get their £5 Amazon copies in the end? that glitch was about 4 months back...)

One I can't remember but Dragon Quest games were a good price. Also £7.98 IIRC

Didn't really look at the other systems.

Come to think it I really should have signed up for that reward card they pushed on me (were also adamant they would still be standing) then used my £1 credit to buy Disaster off their website (which combined with GAME credit doing the same will pay bus fares for me to go to CeX to sell them...
of course I'd hold onto them until I'm heading that way or CeX have something to trade against
)
 
Would any uk gafer have it in his heart to pick up a few games if they go to the crazy sale and mail to Sweden? I would really love to get solatorobo, Deathsmiles, resonance of fart, dragon quest 6 for cheap.

Edit: iPhone autocorrect lol, ill leave it.

Yeah I recieved both my Fire Emblem and Punch Out order ^^. Prices seem to have dropped now so thats good.

Never knew they had KoF. Might check out my local stores again on Monday.
 
I think I'll tell my wife I need to go to London on a business trip, buy a low cost airplane ticket and hoard a dozen or two of games. I'm sure she'll be thrilled once I get back and tell her the money I saved with the whole scam.
 
Thanks! Quote to reveal codes : )

Zavvi

The Hut

Actually, I just noticed it says 'unique' codes, so maybe they only work with my own account?

The zavvi code applied fine at the checkout, but i didn't take it further as FF13 was "delivery within a month." Tagged it alongside BINARY DOMAIN YOU GUYS.

I'll take the Zavvi one, thanks :)

Edit: I can't see the code.. am I doing something wrong?

Edit 2: Never mind, I got it.
I didn't realize the codes are in the actual quote.. lol

I want to order to Infamous 2, but it's says dispatch within in a month.. same goes for a lot of games at Zavvi and The Hut... what going on with that? They don't have stock? I don't want to place an order and miss a great deal on another website.. plus the last time (and first) time I ordered from Zavvi, they charged my credit card after a few hours, not when my order dispatched like their site is saying

Standard, GOTY edition or special collectors "follow through" tin case edition with bonus toilet paper and spare underpants?
 
Most game stores u won't find the points in because people are lying. It was only the points in boxes on sale. Most stores haven't had them for over a year. Cos we went to codes on ur receipt.
