Thanks to whomever posted that 4200 point deal from the Microsoft Store, picked a batch up yesterday for £25; amazing price!

Now I've just got to hope for delivery in under a month as I move house on July 1st. If not I'm going to have to ring Microsoft.
 
Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes (PC) £14.39 @ Sainsburys using code SEE3TWE.
You can also grab God of WAR Ascension, Hitman Absolution, Tomb Raider, Halo 4 etc for £31.99 using the same code.

Not sure if it was cheaper for UK-only before, but it popped up in my GamesTracker list:

Syndicate (PS3, PAL): £12.89 @wowhd (formerly cdwow)

If you're not from the UK, you might want to switch to your local wowhd site (upper left corner) as e.g. for me the € price was actually cheaper than the conversion from the UK price.
No shipping fees, so total was 13.79€ shipped to Germany.

Forgot if the game is actually any good but I liked the trailer and that price is ok imo :D


Edit: Seems it's already out of stock!
 
Have you actually ordered from them ? If yes, how is the shipping delay ? How long did it take to arrive to your mailbox ? Thanks.

Not recently, was years ago but had a good experience (not too long shipping, no lost item etc.). Usually I never order there because they can't compete with the prices of the other shops most of the time as well as not having all items (e.g they don't seem to have the 360 PAL version at all in this case Oo).
You can also pay via PayPal and for 0.75€ you get insurance for lost orders apparently.
Can report back once it's there :P



btw. shipping times seem to have gotten better for me with zavvi/hut etc. in the last half year or so, usually takes only 1-1.5 weeks now (to Germany), was 2-3 weeks before. Anyone else noticed that?
 
My last order from CD WOW was on the 5th December and I had it a bit before Christmas so...it probably took between 1 and 2 weeks or so to get to UK. Bear in mind that they ship from Hong Kong.
 
Veering slightly OT but I figure I'll ask anyway:

Does anybody know of any good deals on external HD's at the moment?
I had two 500GB drives but one has crapped out on me and so I'm really hurting for extra storage space right now.....
 
I've a spare 10% off code for The Hut that I'll not be using (expires 30 May 2012), so please, would a good person allow it to fulfil its potential?!

Quote to reveal the string of numbers and letter what will reduce prices...

Typical, now I have need of Zavvi/Hut code action (preferably the former). Anyone able to help out?! Would be much appreciated.
 
So, hk versions then. 3DS games won't work then.

No, I think the region should be Europe. I might be wrong, but I'm sure the parcel usually says HK on it. Not sure how it works since I don't usually use them these days.

According to their website, they ship from various countries. Either way it should be fine and 3DS games seem to say PAL specifically so they'll work unless they send you the wrong thing.
 
While not exactly your traditional deal, the Humble Indie Bundle deserves posting today (3 new bonus games!)

Currently a touch under $8 minimum for:

Amnesia: The Dark Descent
LIMBO
Psychonauts
Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP
Bastion
Braid
Super Meat Boy
Lone Survivor

Go forth and grab some DRM-free and steam code goodness

Anyone know if you get the steam keys seperate for each game? Or is there just one, for all the games?

I wasn't planning on being a bastard, and selling any on. It's just, there's 4 of the 8, that I already own. So would fire them out to friends.

EDIT: Had a look around the support page. Seems like I can't do, what I was planning. Can understand why. Think I'll still go for the package, above average price.

The Humble Indie Bundles are such amazingly good deals that you really shouldn't be giving away excess codes anyway. Seriously, £6 gets you the lot, and you get to choose who the money goes to. Your friends should be buying these themselves.

why should this be any different from buying retail games? you should be free to sell and give them away as you please
 
The HIB games are being given on a "pay what you want" model, why should anyone want to buy them from you rather than pay the exact same amount to the HIB guys, getting all the games rather than just the ones you don't want and having the money go to charity?

Because when you sell them, the bundle has ended? It would be pretty stupid to sell them while the bundle was still going.

Show me where you can buy 8 retail games, along with their soundtracks for £6.

I have spare codes for Bastion, Super Meat Boy, Lone Survivor, and Braid (you get seperate codes for the games that you receive for donating over the average), but I'm not going to give them to anybody anytime soon, as I let all my friends know about the Humble Indie Bundle, and if they're not interested enough to pay a pittance of £6 (to charity or indie developers, no less), then they're not interested enough to warrant me giving them codes for free.

I'm well aware that the whole point of this thread is about saving money, but there are limits, and telling people they don't need to donate to charity is one of them.

Hell, if somebody doesn't want to pay £6, then they can pay a penny and receive 5 games. That's a compromise right there.

I don't know man. If you give them something, maybe they will give some other person something else down the line? Generosity leads to generosity. At least I try to think like that instead of being cynical about it :)
