Cheap Arse Gaffer (Euro Gaming) Thread 2 - Add to your backlog with ease

I ordered a couple of games from zavvi, after them not shipping for weeks I tried to cancel the order and then they immediately said they couldnt do that because they were dispatching, at 4am on a saturday
 
Anyway, back to offers - apparently the Sly Trilogy is back down to £9.99 on PSN this month..

Does anyone know if the German PSN version supports english audio? I still have roughly 14€ on my account and would bite since there are no good deals for the retail copy. PSN description is as always useless :/
 
Some zavvi orders have taken unusually long times in the recent months. Myself and a few friends ordered GoW 3 when it was so very cheap. It took around 3-4 weeks for all of us to arrive while orders usually arrived in around a week after shipping.
 
Have been trying to get a copy of DMC_HDC for the last 2 weeks but most sites are stating a month for dispatch, Hut group included.

(I don't fancy paying £25+ for ports)
 
Zavvi 10% coupons (even for preorders)

quote to reveal



it still works, just got mine

Please dont abuse, so that everyone gets one. Only 1000 available. They will only be valid for today (at least they say so)
 
Can anyone enlighten me about the mgs hd collection limited edition? I mean, zavvi lists two editions with exactly the same content with a 10 pound difference in price? The greater price one is (zavvi exclusive) but... what?

EDIT: nevermind, one is 360, the other ps3. Kay-

If anyone has a spare code for zavvi, now it would make me really happy!
 
Anyone got some good deals on Atelier Totori? Ideally around £20 or so. I think Zavvi have it for £25 but I'm not a fan...
Cheapest around at the moment seems to be £25.99 at BlahDVD (also at Base.com, DVD.co.uk and 101CD.com, since they're all the same company).

A lot of places still have it in stock though, so it might drop further before it disappears. I think I picked up Rorona for £18 or so from Zavvi.
 
My order from Zavvi is still not here... Should I be worried? :(

The first time I ordered from them, the order was dispatched Jan 24 and it arrived on the 29th

This order was dispatched on the April 26 and has still not arrived. I realize this could take a big longer, and I was probably lucky with my first order, but what worries me is Zavvi's rep with these kind of things.

The two games I ordered are are currently and most of the time are out of stock, and with a dispatch note of one month. I ordered them quickly because they were both in stock (24 hours dispatch), and they were supposedly dispatched later that day. it seems weird they will be dispatched within the same day of the order, or am I just too nervous?
 
I hate Steam region lock! I HATE IT! Arkham City for 10 pounds and I can't even access it on Steam (I'm from Croatia) because Arkham City was never available for us on Steam. F U Steam. F U very much.
 
Arkham City deal last until some point during the 7th of may, usually weekend deals end sometime in the afternoon.

Nothing to do with Steam, AC is a GFWL game and as such it's only sold in the countries in which GFWL is available. You could get it gifted by someone, and I believe you can create a GFWL account by jumping through some hoops (such as using an address from a country that in which GFWL is available).
 
IvanI, i'll gift it to you if youre up for paypalling me the amount.

I wont be back until late tonight, when does the deal expire?
nah, nevermind. I'll wait for X360 GOTY ed. (which I planned to do anyway, I just thought since this was a deal at such a low price to have the PC version as well...)

I have my XBL account linked to GFWL. When I bought a GPU (Radeon 6950) I got DiRT3 (a GFWL game) as a gift. It was a Steam redeemable code which I normally downloaded and played. Successfully linked my GFWL acc to it, got achievements, etc.
If I got Batman:AC somehow I guess it would work the same BUT I'm worried about DLCs. How would I got those? Again as a gift from someone or...?
 
If any shops or sales people are reading this thread: REDUCE ASURA'S WRATH NOW PLEASE. (Also, I'll bite on the X-Men game for a tenner. You hear me? I'm that sucker!)
 
So you get steam achievements and gfwl achievements? I won't be buying that then (for myself).

That's correct, you get the acheivemetns on both platforms.

If you already have an account then you can use it with AC. You would likely have to get someone to gift the DLC's to you via steam, I'm not sure if you could get them via the GFWL market or not.

Same here, my Witcher 2 EE got despatched on the 25th, still waiting. Sill in line with the usual Zavvi times, but I had the impression they had improved... :(
 
A couple of weeks ago I was fantasizing about Theatrhythm maybe having a nice budget price to honor the fact that SE wants to sell you tons of DLC and that rhythm games are probably not the hottest selling items right now. But nope, today is see Amazon carrying it for 39,99€. I'm very disappointed, SE!

Really? its around £23 to pre-order here in the UK and has a £10 cheaper RRP than most 3DS games.
 
Has anyone tried the amazon.co.uk Vita bundle? I was just experimenting (non uk residence) and I don't understand why the price (including shipping) turns into 156 pounds (before VAT). Can people outside the UK avoid the VAT tax?
 
Anybody have any experience with Gameseek? They seem to have a lot of difficult to find Hori stuff for quite cheap.

I ordered from them twice. The first time they send me a game that had 'Used' written all over it even though it was supposed to be new. I complained, sent is back and they send me another copy that didn't look a whole lot better. But admittedly there was some improvement. They didn't cover any of the extra expenses I had to make, which some other sites like Play.com do. Second time was a universal scart cable (PS2, GCN, ...). That looked new and perfectly normal.

So I dunno. Shipping costs to Europe are rather steep as well if I recall correctly. It's sort of a 'lender of the last resort' kind of site to me.
 
Fuck I got burned by the UEFA PSN card. How the fuck do I contact customer service in that maze of a website?

Edit: Nevermind. I found it. I asked for a £4 to make up the difference in cards. I don't suspect I'll get it but at least I'll have tried. If I get a negative response I'll negotiate to credit on my account. Worse comes to worse I'll buy another cheap PSN card when they are on sale again (and £20 for christ's sake!).

Since that game is unavailable to me in Croatia (because of GWFL region lock) I would PayPal the amount in exchange for the gift.
Even though I'll be buying the GOTY for the X360 I would still like to have the PC version because of 60fps and DX11 features.

Anyone?

edit: sorry if this is the wrong thread.

edit 2: found the appropriate thread. sorry folks. :/
 
Anyone looking for a cheap PSP for themselves/kids/nephews etc, shopto are selling the newer model E1000 for £49.85

Great price.
 
Banned site has Saints Row the Third for PC download £6.85!
This is a steam activated product, and a bloody good bargain if you ask me.

FUUU, I return to work after college and this thread becomes dangerous once again. That's a fantastic price, but I will hold off because I have unopened games.

Has anyone actually used one of these? Surely it can't feel as cheap as the standard PSPs? And is the analogue nub still a piece of shit?
 
WTF... PC gaming is too cheap!

I want both Batman and Saint's Row, but I want them them for PS3... lately I'm becoming a bit of the trophy whore :< Plus, I'm still not comfortable with buying games digitally
 
Tried to go for that Saints Row 3 deal until I get the following with both my cards

"The Authorisation has been rejected by the Vendor due to insufficient authentication. Please try a different card."

Fuck them.
