Nice. I've never ordered from them before though- are they okay?

I haven't bought from Simply Games in years but that is not due to them being on my personal retailer blacklist! They were fine then and I'm sure if they were not nowadays then it would be widely recognised in this here thread.

Yes. Used them 3 or 4 times and never had a problem.

Do The Hut usually take, like, 48 hours to despatch stuff?

 

[glaurung]

Do The Hut usually take, like, 48 hours to despatch stuff?

Usually more than that. All of my recent orders have been dispatched within five days or so.

Even the stuff that is marked as 24h in stock.

 

[MarshMellow96]

I should've know better before ordering something as scarce as an arcade stick...

Thinking of just cancelling it and going somewhere else.. or is it worth trying to change to express delivery?

 

[luffeN]

Nice. I've never ordered from them before though- are they okay?

I've orderd like five times from them and they are way faster than Zavvi and friends. Shipping to Austria took around 4 days IIRC. I can recommend them.

 

[Kontergurke]

Don't know if this code is unique to my account or not, but quote to reveal a 10% Zavvi code in case it's not:

Thanks for the code! Used it on Pandora's Tower. Couldn't find it cheaper anywhere else ...

I could have ordered at thehut with the 10% code Celine posted, but their international shipping is now 1.99 pounds, while zavvi's still 0.99.
I thought they were basically the same company. Weird ...

 

[MarshMellow96]

Okay so I've cancelled my order with The Hut, but Paypal says the order has been completed.. I'm hoping this will be returned to me in a few days?

 

[jimi_dini]

Yes, although Pandora's Tower SE from hmv.com contains/contained an extra box to store the whole Xenoblade/Last Story/Pandora's Tower collection in it.

Can't seem to find a picture of this? Sounds interesting.

I don't have the Xenoblade LE though, would have picked it up if it had something better than a controller in it

OH, it holds the art books. I was picturing some huge beast to hold the 3 CEs for some reason. That makes much more sense.

I have a cancelled order with Zavvi from 30th Jan that is still pending in Paypal.

Did the Xenoblade LE come with an art book over here?

 

[Stubo]

Did the Xenoblade LE come with an art book over here?

I'm fairly sure it didn't, doesn't really make sense...

 

[PaulLFC]

That looks to me like it's the 3 games and an art book in the box, unless I'm reading it wrong.

 

[MarshMellow96]

I have a cancelled order with Zavvi from 30th Jan that is still pending in Paypal.

I've sent them a separate email. The order was awaiting dispatch, but the payment had gone through from Paypal, even though they say that they don't charge until dispatch.. I'm guessing it's because I've used PP?

Goddamnit. I should've just bit the madcatz.co.uk bullet.

EDIT: they've just emailed me saying that it can't be cancelled because it's awaiting dispatch. It's been like that for 2 days! Why even give me the option?

 

[Stubo]

Yeah, the spine does seem to suggest that, but between them there's 2 art books. Depends how deep the thing is I guess, hard to tell from the image.

Either way it's not a huge selling point for me, really. Their individual boxes are slick enough for my tastes.

 

[Cerebral Assassin]

Their website makes no mention of the box either, very strange.

Arcade stick 'despatched'. If they'd stuck to their side of the bargain it ought to have been here by tomorrow.

It almost feels like you have to kick off to get a dispatch. Won't be shopping the The Hut again, that's for sure.

Do you cheap arsers have any recommendations for non gaming related price tracking sites?

I wish to track the price of a specific make and model of plasma telly and would rather do it like this than anally checking Google every few days!

It's not a tracking site, but I remember seeing lots of deals @ AVforums, & most major TV's have threads there.

Good shout! Thank you sir .

 

[Shiggy]

It's no longer included, right?

 

[jimi_dini]

It's no longer included, right?

That's the question. I ordered mine last friday and the description said it was included. Then over the weekend Pandora's Tower disappeared completely from hmv's store (even the regular edition) and now it's there again but with a different description.

It was exclusive to hmv and possibly it's sold out now.

Spoiler

mine got shipped on monday

 

[docmoc]

i got a 10% off at TheHut if anybody wants it.

Mega Monday is on

Too bad its not the new Naruto!

Anyway, is it just me or did Zavvi add 4 pounds to most of the items? They all used to be 19.95 last week but now they all are 23.95.

Pretty much, I noticed that Bleach deal you linked to last week has suffered from the price bump.

 

[Zoibie]

Rage Anarchy Edition - [PS3] - £7.96

Anyone know of somewhere that's selling Ghost Trick for under £15?

Edit: Seems like the Jak trilogy is sold out almost everywhere. Was it a limited run?

Weird Theatrhythm FF (3DS) extremly cheap order at amazon.co.uk

 

[MarshMellow96]

Sorry to shit up the thread with this stuff again but I received my arcade stick from The Hut this morning. One thing...

It's probably not that easy to see, but there's a massive tear down the side. The seals are missing, too. I was considering sending it back, but I'm thinking it's probably best to cut my losses with The Hut. I mean, some people haven't even received their goods - and other than the box the stick seems fine.

This is a horrible position to be in as a consumer.

Maybe SE is just smart and they realized that this type of game can't be full price. Especially when they plan on selling you lots of DLC.

That's unacceptable. You should forget cutting your losses. As long as the stick's working, you should use it, but send them pics and complain about the delivery. Perhaps you'll get a partial refund or a discount or something for your next delayed/destroyed order.

By the by, anyone looking to spend at least £20 at Shopto can use the code MCVWINNERS to get £3 off.

 

[PaulLFC]

Hmm, need some advice...

There is a seller on Play.com selling new, apparently factory sealed FIFA Street for £18.00, delivery next day. They registered yesterday so have no feedback ratings yet. Worth the risk? The price seems a bit too good to be true for a new version.

Might just be stolen (which isn't your problem). You'd be covered if you pay via Paypal anyway wouldn't you?

No way.

Yeah checking other prices its £25 and up everywhere else. Not going to buy it.

I just got theat email, I am glad they won an MCV award for specialist retailer. I've never had a problem with them and they always send out goods very quickly, and even email me a photo of the package on dispatch!

 

[B-Genius]

^^^ Wow cool, didn't know they went that far!

I haven't used them in a while on account of being out of the UK, but they were always super fast with their dispatches (usually I'd get a text within an hour of purchasing) and have great prices for new/old releases alike. They deserve the attention.

Yup. Easily the best games retailer for hitting the sweetspot of price, delivery time and customer service.

Also, they are moving into TV. I have one of these fetch TV boxes at home, so I'm hyped to see what they do with it.

Dropped 2 pounds more:

SSX (PS3/X360) - £19.99 @ SimplyGames

C'mon Amazon just press the button.
