Sorry for the late reply. Posted this before heading off to work.

No, the website doesn't even seem to remember I bought anything from them. :-/
I did get 2 mails yesterday though. but neither one mentioned the cards being shipped.
Just how much everything cost.

Mine still says in progress too, ordered 5 days ago :/

I sent them an email yesterday asking when I could expect to receive the points as it said 1-2 days delivery and they haven't even been dispatched yet, but up to now I've had no response.

There doesn't seem to be a contact phone number for the store either - very poor service, guess I'll keep the order because of the discount though.

are you in the uk? here's the number from the receipt i printed out - 00800 272 70 909.

total agreement, it's a very very poor service. can you post a update if you have luck phoning them or if you receive your points.

I am, thanks for that number, I'll give them a call in a couple of hours and see what's happening.

good luck. :)

It seems the number they give is a US number and they don't have a UK equivalent. Yet more great service. Guess I'll have to wait and see if I get a reply to my email.

Edit: I have found a UK number for Arvato though, who are apparently in charge of running the store for MS. Will try ringing them instead.
 
I called them up about the points and they advised that UPS are delivering them in " about two days " .. they'll give you a tracking number too ( not that it actually works as I think UPS are picking up the packages today... sigh.

Thanks for the info! Has your order status updated, or does it still show as In Progress? I haven't had any email confirmation besides the initial one when I placed the order a few days ago.

Edit: Just got an email reply from MS:

We would like to inform you that the Xbox LIVE 4200 Points you ordered, are currently in delivery and will be dispatched with the highest priority. As soon as the parcel leaves our warehouse you will be notified of this by an automated e-mail and provided with the UPS tracking number as well.

We humbly apologize for this delay caused by the Easter Holidays.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Please feel free to contact us if you should have any further questions. We are happy to help.

Hopefully the situation is the same for everyone else and we'll get UPS tracking emails soon.
 
A user on another forum I visit got the following reply from Microsoft Support regarding the points issue;

"Dear Robbie,



Thank you for your e-mail.



Be kindly informed that at the time you placed your order, the Xbox LIVE 2100 Points you ordered was out of stock.



Be aware that now the Xbox LIVE 2100 Points you have ordered is ready to be picked up by the delivery company (UPS). As soon as the item will leave our warehouse you will receive an e-mail with the shipping details."

So hopefully all sorted in the next couple of days.
 
Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Ordered 4200 points last Thursday and it still says "Order in progress" on the site.


Was hoping to be playing Skullgirls by now, and possibly SFIII.

If you've played the original already I would personally put the mark on £9.99 :D

If not, the game is worth full price alone to be honest.

£9.99 is the price I would be happy to pay. I have already played the original many times, so i'll try and hold out just a bit longer...

My wallet says thanks :)
 
Guys I know that this has probably been asked a million times before but does anyone know where you can get the cheapest instant delivery xbox points?
 
Are there still DARK SOULS LE (PS3) copies being sold online? I mean, if one were to buy the game now, would it still be the LE? In both cases (LE and not LE sku) what's the cheapest you can find each?

Can anybody recommend it for that price?

Are you a really big fan of Bleach? There isnt all that much content, the graphics are ok. If you want to fill the whole soul board you will need hours of stupid grinding. In general I would only recommend to really big fans. As for the price, dunno how big shipments were and it possibly might be the lowest price you might find for a while (I was surprised to see it even pop up today).
 
Anyone know of a good, reliable online store that sells Xbox Live Gold codes, that accepts payment either with CC or Google Checkout (PayPal is not working for me).

PS3.

Both version are practically equal, so it depends on which community you want to be in. I believe the Dark Souls PS3 community is bigger and there's Demon's Souls veterans there. I personally feel the PS3 controller works a little bit better for combat in this game.

You should ask in the Dark Souls OT. Ask if both PS3 and 360 communities are active. Do you have any friends that plays Dark Souls? Get the version they got. If that doesn't help, pick the PS3 version.

PS3 version is still very active, got invaded plenty of times in pretty much every level and saw loads of summon signs. I was also higher level where that stuff starts happening less.

Quick Question: Where do you UK guys rent your games from? Can't be arsed buying these games and not playing them after I finish them anymore. Lovefilm and Blockbuster looks ok but they don't have a games only package which is what I want, are there other sites?
