Well the reasonable expectation would be that you get one of them at £12.50 and the other one simply doesn't ship.
Knowing Zavvi though, they'll probably charge you full price for one of the titles, and refuse to cancel your order telling you it's already been despatched, despite the fact that they hold no stock of it and won't be mailing it out to you for another month.
Have fun!

Are the console versions expansion packs or do they include the whole of the original game as well?
Being charged full price will not be so bad. I just hope they don't give me trouble giving me back my for the other game. They already charged me for it :\
I've contacted them and they responded quickly, but I don't know what to make of their answers
I'm looking at the transaction history of the credit card right now. It's been charged twice for 15 Euro's each. They did not charge me for the shipping yet, but they say they already charged me for everything.
Looking at the first I had from them, they charged me almost right away before the item dispatched, but on the they it was dispatched, they charged for the shipping.

Kid Icarus: Uprising has dropped to £26.86 on Shopto
Not a big drop, but a few quid cheaper than anywhere else. Don't think this one will drop that much any time soon

Ratchet and Clank Trilogy - Classics HD (PS3) - £13.49 at Asda Direct (Preorder) [Use code GPRE10 to get this price]
Edit: According to HUKD, Asda seem to be taking the money straight away despite it being a preorder. Just a heads up.
I've still ordered though, can't resist at that price.

Nice, thanks. Don't mind them taking the money straight off, can't really question three of my favourite PS2 games in HD, with trophies for that price! ^_^

Sony should really release these collections on the Vita, too. I wonder if they even remember the Vita.
Amazing price. Thanks man.
Nice one pal. Preordered
That sucks. :'(

"No results found" 
Must have been a price error?

They've taken the money, so no reason to think they won't.

this is the second time in 2 weeks ive had problems with amazon delivery,
last week it was witcher 2 where i used first class delivery turned up 3 days late, and a week later prototype 2 first class delivery still hasnt turned up today.
on a positive note they have refunded the delivery charge and if prototype 2 isnt here by may 3rd they will send another free.
im considering not using them anymore 2 poor deliveries in 2 weeks is not good enough, not when shopto is free delivery and next day or 2 days early with a new release

According to Zavvi's records my copy of Disgaea 4 was shipped on the 7th of April.Turns out my Zavvi order is fine (knock on wood!).
They responded to my questions within a couple of hours and the games were dispatched the same day I ordered them. I must be lucky! Now let's just hope they get here
And it still has not arrived. Tomorrow is the last day that it should logically arrive. Raising hell after that.
Why do you do this to me?
It's only my second time ordering from them.
The first time I ordered from them, the game was dispatched on the 24.1 (Tuesday) and arrived on the 29.1 (Sunday).
Where do you live? It seems the delivery from Zavvi is different for people in different countries.
There's a sale in a private store here in Israel, and there's some notable games for just 8 pounds! Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare, Dead Space 2, Yakuza 4, ModNation Racers, Brink and some older ones. I think I might pick up Dead Space 2, although, I didn't play the first one. Is it worth picking without playing the first one?
Would have picked up Undead Nightmare as well, but Red Dead Redemption goes for about 14 pounds. It's better to just buy the GOTY edition at this price, or wait the price drop.
Estonia, that's in the North-Eastern part of this fucked up European Union.
I've ordered stuff from Zavvi countless times and the average delivery time is approximately 10 days. I still hope it gets here, I am no rush to play it, just to have it in my collection for dark days.
If it does not arrive, I will contact Zavvi and they will try to contact my local post service. The local post service will tell them to fuck off and that they do not track their parcels.

I think you have to count 20 business days btw. So the last day for it to logically arrive would be 4th of May. (provided that there isn't any Estonian or British holiday somewhere in between.
Yes, I did in fact calculate in work days, not weekdays.
During weekends the local post service is either huffing meth in a railway station toilet or giving birth to their half-aborted inbred dog babies.

They really are the worst possible place you can buy games from at the moment. Hurry up and put them on the banned sites list, GAF.
BTW - did you ever hear back from them about this:
As a matter of fact, I did.
I received both games for the price quoted in the campaign (£18 or smth). They did however arrive very late and at least the Dark Souls game box was half-crushed due to poor packaging.
Meaning they honored their promise in terms of the sweater-game campaign. It's just that they were unable to communicate it, not even after the ten or so emails I sent them.
That story had a happy ending at least.

Anyone got a Zavvi code that works for pre-orders? Want to grab Dragons Dogma.

Amazon have matched Binary Domain £12.85, and SHIFT 2: Unleashed for £8.99
3DS Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy is currently £12.98 at GAME:-
http://www.game.co.uk/en/ace-combat-assault-horizon-legacy-128383
Thats the cheapest I have seen it, and it seems to be out of stock in many places so perhaps a limited print run?

Got in there before the lock last night! Fantastic offer. So good they removed the page in the early hours. Hopefully that they've taken the money makes it likely they'll honour the price.
woo and indeed hoo

Is it not the case that if they have taken the money then they are legally obligated to fulfil the order?
I am pretty sure that has been stated before in this thread.

In theory, yes, but if their terms and conditions say that an order isn't final until the item has shipped, apparently that overrides it.
