DS3 was always pretty expensive but Xbox 360 controller was £32.99 at launch then dropped to £22.99 in plenty of places these days. I don't wish to pay £45 for a controller, let alone £55.

No, but be aware that Flubit take payment immediately, so your money will be tied up for a few months.

Has anyone checked their MSP conversion rate?
I get a hidden 5% tax. The official price of 80 MSP are 1, but MS only gives you 0,95 for every 80 points. Even if they use the same conversion rate for DLC & XBLA, GoD content is priced as before and there is no guarantee prices for future DLC rise back to the 9.99 / 14.99 / 19.99 scheme etc. Pretty scummy of MS considering the US has the 1:1 conversion rate while getting better prices on GoD and co. Just as an example Gears of War 3 is $19.99 in the US and here it's 29.99, which is basically double.
Anyone else think this is the cherry on top? We already pay more for Xbox Live Gold while getting only a fraction of the content the US enjoys, not to mention that games also cost more on launch. That, plus the expiration date on those converted points makes me sick to my stomach. Feels like stealing to me.

Isn't the Xbox One controller still not including a rechargeable battery pack ala 360 as well?

£60 for a controller pack with a play and charge kit I think.
It's £20-£27 on Amazon, depends on the console you choose.
Also, the Xbox Controller is so so so so so good to look at.

Well it's not the same game, it's not the same content.
In this case it's actually kinda true.

Murphy doesn't suck on the wii u version. Essentially, there are certain interactive objects in some (no idea how many until the game is out) levels that require someone controlling murphy to interact with them.
Stuff like, slash ropes, flipping switches, etc. On the wii u, this is done by the gamepad screen controlling murphy, where (for example) you cut the ropes by moving the stylus/a finger over the rope. Optionally, you could have a second player be doing murphy for you while you're playing as rayman.
In the xbox/Ps3 versions, you have everything murphy does assigned to a single button and you have to pray you're close enough that he accepts your input properly.
Also, 5 player support is wii u only.
Yeah, I notice the Murphy issues. I wasn't particularly pleased in the demo that I had to basically press B every few seconds to get Murphy to do something. It takes away from the gameplay because it's a new feature that can't exactly be worked around on PS360 due to the obvious lack of a Touch-Pad and it does remove some of the fun, it's kind of like the game plays itself at a touch of button so there's no joy in swiping to move stuff about etc.
Obviously it can be argued the Wii U version is the definitive version (which it is) and the controller has its benefits such as an extra player and Murphy's input, but I just wish they could of found a better solution on PS360 as it's such an integral and fun part of the game that's pretty much lost through the transition.
Game have a 3G with 8GB memory card and killzone mercenary for £169. (no PS+ though)
amazon have the wifi with 8GB memory card and 10 game mega pack for £169. Or wifi only (no games or anything) for £149
actually there looks to be a shortage of options at the moment - shopto don't have much at a reasonable price either. Maybe stores are figuring out what to do still?

PS4 Controller looks lovely.. seen it in person and watch dogs.. see that in person also.. looks awesome

I am not sure which to go for either. The wifi only model is coming back into stock this week, tempted with that and a 32gb card. But, the £170 with Killzone sounds great, would sell the 8gb card and buy a 32gb. The 10 game pack doesn't interest me, I have a few of the games already from PS+.
The Game £170 Vita + KZ + 8GB seems like the one to go for really. £20 for Killzone plus whatever you can sell the 8GB card for (maybe.. £10?), makes it a slightly better deal than the standalone, if you intend to buy KZ that is
When the fairly pointless "Armored edition" port of "Arkham City" was released for the Wii U - obviously at a higher price than the other console versions and the PC version which had all had quite a while to drop in price by then - Reggie of Nintendo famously said in an interview that "It's not the same game, it's not the same content" to justify the release and its steep price tag. I was riffing on this - but as I said, in the "Rayman Legends" case he would actually be more justified in this line of argument since it was originally developed with the Wii U's touchscreen in mind, and since it features levels exclusive (or almost exclusive - they're in the Vita version too, aren't they) to the Wii U.
(Here's the infamous interview, if I'm not mistaken).
Naissu. I'll check these offers, thanks a ton Samurai.

Interestingly, IGN's reviewer came to the exact opposite conclusion, stating that the Murfy interaction was the worst part about the Wii U version, and that he'd recommend the PS360 version if you're only planning on playing it single player (whereas the Wii U version is much better for co-op). I have to say, I didn't have any issues at all with the way Murfy worked whilst playing the PS3 demo.

Hm...question: I ordered it a couple of days ago when it was 149, IIRC.
It says that they'll have it in stock tomorrow. Does that mean I'll get charged 149 or 169? I assume 149 since that was the price when I ordered it, no matter if they didn't have it in stock.
Just checking to be sure.

You'll get it for the price on your order receipt, because that's the price you've agreed upon on purchase.
Only when you preorder and the price lowers in between your order and the actual release will Amazon change the final price, to your advantage.

Oh wow so buying this when I get home, retailers rip off so much for that game. I have it on Wii but some of the motion controls (for punching especially) are such bullshit.
Easily Rockstar's most clever, original title.

Anyone spotted a good Wind Waker HD deal? I'm willing to go up to £35 but no higher. Lowest I've seen so far is £40, which seems a bit much for a remake.
I noticed Amazon UK hasn't even updated their listing with the new box art yet, so maybe they're going to take another look at their price when they get round to that.

What should I expect from Bully when I buy it? Basically GTA in a school?
Not sure if this has been posted yet but gamestop UK are doing a deal where you can trade in 2 of these 200 games and get GTA 5 for £4.97.
A lot of those games you can find very cheap if you don't own them already. I'm sure you can get a killer deal, better the £35 most are offering if you dig around for two of these games at the cheapest prices. It's strange that they list some games that don't exist and this deal seems to good to be true for retailer like gamespot.
Also be wary and read the T&C's as #9 on the fine print at the bottom of the page says.

GTA in a school with more slapstick violence, smaller, more focused and therefore interesting overworld, and even more caricatured characters. It's just a lot of shameless fun.
I like how GTA5 is one of the games on the list...
