Again about my Horizon preorder from thegamecollection:

I did the preorder last week, they 'reserved' the money from my card (i dont know the exact name for this operation)

Then they charged me - but didn't cancel the 'reserved' amount. So now I paid for the game AND have the same amount reserved...

I am asking here because its my first time buying from them but I think it's probably normal and in a few days they should 'unreserve' that. Or should I contact them? I paid using paypal, if that matters.

Give it a few days and the pre-authorisation should clear. If it doesn't by, say, the weekend, just send an email their way and they'll get it sorted for you.

The site "Instant-gaming" has superhot for £2.50, does anyone know how legit that site is? I've never heard of it before.

G2A (as dodgy as they are) are selling a bundle including SUPERHOT and other games so they're probably grabbing it all from there and trying to flip for profit.
 
Should I grab PSVR from Amazon Marketplace (v.good conditions it says, dented box) for €320?
Are there better prices out there for 2nd hand or a similar price for brand new units?
Will it be easy to resell afterwards without taking a big hit in the near future (3/4 months)?

Cheers guys

Thank you!

Needed a new DS4 and conveniently the misses needed new frying pans ;).

Yeah, it's been on sale between £5-7 both retail and digital a couple of times. If you don't plan on being a permanent plus member and don't need the game right now I'd keep an eye out for a deal. I find using the HUKD app along with push notification for keywords is a godsend. Whenever any deal with the words PS4, PSN, Playstation, Vita etc comes up I immediately get a notification on my phone

Considering I keep my eye on this thread and HUKD I don't know how I missed this, I would've grabbed one at that price.

Here's hoping CronusMax figure out how to work on the Switch pronto.

It was out of stock when I checked 1-2 hours after that post was made, so there wasn't a huge window to get one.
 
GAME cancelled my Switch because paypal "failed" it's always the same shit, I hope they keep the price, I'm trying to contact support.

edit:
Apparently the only way to solve this is to wait for their payment team to call me back, and change the payment to debit card ¬¬, if not, i will be moved to batch 3 (no idea what date is that).

Anyway, I still have a pre-order from amazon.fr as backup, which I can return or resell if Game fails me =D.
 
ShopTwo have given me a DPD tracking number for my Switch bundle pre-order but the tracker on DPDs website says it doesn't exist. Is it too early or should I be worried?

Dear god, DPD. I don't know about other countries, but it is an absolute shitshow of an operation in the Netherlands. After a week of fumbling around delivering my 3DS XL a couple of years ago, I literally told them to hold it at their warehouse and came to pick it up myself. Anecdotal evidence of course. I'm sure it'll work out for you.

They're one of the best in the UK when used within the UK.

Phenomenal in the UK. My only gripe is that you can elect to deliver to neighours but I've have incidents before where I've chosen this and they didn't try my house first even though someone was in.

It sounds silly but my family isn't really reliable at things like that so someone will either be asleep (making no attempt to wake up to a time we knew the day before) or will pop out (once again despite knowing beforehand).

I'm in the UK and I've had nothing but positive experiences with them so far. Sucks to hear about your 3DS. That's horrible service.
 
I've bought a copy of Breath of the Wild on Wii U by accident (order on a site I made when it was announced and long forgot about). I've ended up paying £35 for it.

Should I return it, or could I flip it and make a profit?

Got my copy coming from Amazon that due to promos I spent £5 on.
 
Sent an email to Base yesterday because I've yet to receive FE:A which I purchased alongside DQ8 which arrived about two weeks ago (they were sent on Jan 23 and Jan 25)

They sent me an email today apologizing and saying that they'll send a replacement as soon as possible, and the game is indeed on back order on my account

This is the first time a package I've ordered (from any store) has not arrived and I always wanted to avoid this so I won't have to contact a a store's costumer service, but this was very quick and nice of them. Hopefully this one turns up and if they both show up somehow, I guess I'll have to re-send them one.

What happened?
Click to expand...

Paypal failed, and the only way to change the payment method is by phone to a debit card.

35min on waiting for a call with GAME, sorry about the OT, but I'm really really mad right now.

edit:

42min.. >.<, for fuck sake, how could be so difficult to change a payment method?

edit 3:

54min .. still waiting =(

last update:
after 69 minutes waiting, they answer =p, but they told to that they will call me back from they payment deparment, and they did at 8:50 PM (3 hours later), so I hope everything is alright now.
 
Sorry for the dumb question, but what were the preorder bonuses for Horizon at GAME?

Definite profit. Leave it unopened. It's had a low print run.
 
Anyone else order their copy of Breath of the Wild on Wii U from Boomerang?

It's been sitting happily in my orders with a despatch date of 2nd March for weeks - but I logged in today to check and it now says 'On order, despatch within 2 - 5 days'.

Bummer.

Same, but at the same time I expected that Boomerang wouldn't be sending it out for release date because the despatch date should've been earlier this week for that.

They have a normal delivery window of 5-10 days.

Mine has been updated now to say it's been despatched, so not sure what's going on, but glad it's on its way! Worth checking yours.

Huh, you're right:

Code: 
Despatch Date
2017-03-02

I'm still not expecting it on release because I don't think they use 1st Class shipping, but who knows.

In Sweden, CDON.se are advertising a mystery deal "for gamers" that will be priced at 1990 SEK and go live at midnight. I already had my suspicions, but I guess this all but confirms that it will be a PS4 Slim.
 
No mans sky is 14 pounds on UK Amazon. Also available as import in other amazons (19 eur in ES for example).

edit. Sony dropping the price before Switch launch. Is the Switch supposed to be sold out in Europe? I can see people coming to stores and changing their minds: 330 for a Switch or 200 for a PS4. huge difference.

Yeah, but at the same time I think the majority of people getting a Switch at launch are people that want a Switch, not any other console.
