I took a look at some preorders and the timer for the Mario + Rabbids game expired the soonest. It just ticked over and the site is just 503/504 erroring out. I guess this is what to expect x100 when the higher profile stuff goes up.I've been messing with the Cyclonic deals at Gameseek esterday and today, but I dont get it. YEsterday there was a timer untill new stock but now the timer ran out 2 hours before and every single item is out of stock again?

Edit: and they're now reporting all of their deal stock as being gone - I expect that they're probably only taking a minimal number of orders at these prices, but using this promotion to drive traffic to their site.
The 'deal' prices are only going live at specific times - the next time that stock might be available again will be in a little under 24 hours from now. I'l probably be around to give it one more try, but that's probably as far as I'll bother if we see the same again.Ill try again later today and then probably give up on the site. If this is consistent issue then its not worth the time.
Especially when they're promising £198.50 Switches again (or is using the plural there expecting too much?).Probably. They're doubling down on the attention they got on the Switch mis-price.
Hmm, really not sure about this Gameseek cyclonic deals thing but I've just pre-ordered FIFA 18 on PS4 for £30.
Paid by PayPal in case there's anything strange going on, that price just seems a bit too good to be true unless stock is incredibly limited and I just got very lucky to get one. Got to be in it to win it I suppose!
Wow, looks like I was lucky then! Although checking my email I'd signed up for the stock notification for it and that was sent to me about an hour ago, so it may have been on sale for a bit before I got one.That was probably the only copy as it's out of stock already
You got very lucky - congrats!Hmm, really not sure about this Gameseek cyclonic deals thing but I've just pre-ordered FIFA 18 on PS4 for £30.

I'm after a PS4 Pro but I'm in no rush, I just want one before the end of the year
When will we likely see the best prices on any bundles that may come about this year?
Best to wait for Black Friday?
Not sure if it's too high for you, but Game have the white pro and Destiny 2 plus the season pass for £349.99

That's a good price but I don't really plan on using it for online games, more for single player, and I doubt I'll get Plus, so a bundle with more games for that price would be better
I do like the white model though
Managed to grab Pokken for the Switch at £25 from Gameseek....
We'll see if they actually deliver.
Is this Gameseek place new? I just took a look at their site for the first time and it's an assault on the senses. Makes me think of one of those rip-off bidding sites.
Well I ordered Fifa 18 on switch for £30. Couldn't say no considering its like £45 everywhere else. Shame you pay upfront but oh well.
Yeah pretty sure they do? Unless someone will correct me?It's payment upfront for pre-orders!? Seriously?
This whole things reeks of them just needing a quick cash injection.
Are you just checking back on the deals page until things are showing in stock?Managed to get
Arms
Pokken
Rayman
Pokémon Ultra
Warhammer 2
from gameseek over the last few days
Mario on switch tomorrow and I will be sorted but I doubt that will happen
Yeah pretty sure they do? Unless someone will correct me?
Edit:
Do you take full payment in advance?
At the moment we do take payment in advance yes. We do this to deter thieves - basically if we can catch them before we ship the items, it helps the government and us greatly and also helps us the keep prices down for the genuine customers, ie you.(click here to go back to the top)
I can understand. Do not understand how making people pay upfront stops people stealing? Other retailers don't get screwed over such things surely?I'd been keeping an eye on the upcoming deal for the Switch even though it's obviously a tiny chance of actually getting one of them, but if they're taking the money up front from everyone that tries to get it, then only shipping a tiny percentage of those they can do one.
Has anyone pre-ordered Uncharted Lost Legacy on ShopTo? They sent me a notification today indicating that they took the money from my bank account, and in the "Orders" section in their website I can see a photo of my package. I didn't receive any email about the dispatch though.
glad to see some people are getting the deals. understandable a bunch of people are mad though. i wouldn't be surprised if trading standards investigates.
They're running deals and holding back stock. Retailers have in the past got in trouble for advertising deals then claiming the item is sold out. Then putting it back in stock once the promotion is over.Why? I don't understand the controversy

Knack 2 is £22.85 at simply. It's Knack baby, get this GOtY!
Frustrating though it is, they're not claiming that the items are completely out of stock, just that there's no more stock allocated to be available at the 'deal' price for that particular rime.
Yeah, all this is is Amazon's "lightning deals" with a dumber name, better prices, and less stock.
There's nothing illegal about it.
