I mean, we're entering Chinese whispers territory here.I read here a while ago (random thread on gaf)...
I've been a customer with them for quite a while now, and never had any complaints - great prices and great delivery times.
I once ordered Dark Souls to my University term time address by accident, but it had already 'dispatched' before I had the chance to cancel. Ended up phoning up the office and a customer service rep offered to send a note down to the warehouse and find out if he could stop it - he couldn't unfortunately, but I appreciated the effort.
I think their prices have raised a bit recently though?

VGP never got banned afaik and they also didn´t really bother informing their customers properly after tossing their data out on the street. (Not that I want ShopTo unbanned or anything.)They can have all the great prices and delivery times they want but not warning their costumers about the CC leak is inexcusable.
So that´s probably not the only reason ShopTo remains banned. Also, if you really want to go and buy something off them, you just go there and do it, right? So that ban isn´t really the end of the world if you want their business.

Shouldn't Sony websites be banned as well?

I ordered from shopto years ago. Then I had the first credit card fraud in my whole life (2009 something). Was around the time of the shopto hack. They never told me anything. And it seems even when asked by customers, that had only used their brand new creditcard (which got hacked) at shopto, they denied everything. Banned for credit card hack? No. Banned for not informing customers? yes. Banned for lying to their customers? yes.
I was not even informed later. I was not informed AT ALL. I read about this years ago. In my case someone used my creditcard for online poker. Took 100EUR or something like that. I was quite sick at that time and it was luck that I even found out, because the online poker wasn't obvious.

Stopped using them after that. Who's a good site for importing now? I should probably get round to playing 999 since GAF loves it so much. The emergency services would also be grateful as it would mean I'd stop dialling them up. And people said mobile phones were a perfect substitute.Originally Posted by foobarry81

VGP at least sent an email recommending to change your password and they never lost CC numbers. Could and should they have been faster and more informative? Yes. Did they try to sweep the whole thing under the rug after being called out? No.Originally Posted by foobarry81

Yep, they messed up. Some customers received several emails, others (like myself) were forgotten.

That's bad. I got the email and never even bought anything from them up to that point, so I assumed everyone else did too. I'll think twice the next time I want to order something from them.Originally Posted by Phife Dawg

Regardless of the reasons I think banning ShopTo is pointless anyway.
People still post deals from there so all a ban does it make a little more inconvenient because you have to type it in your address bar instead of just clicking a link.

I stopped buying (and playing) games because of too much work but Zavvi still sends me 10% reduction codes... So if someone needs one, it's in this post.

360 / PS3 / PC
Second cheapest for 360/PS3 are supposedly base.com/dvd.co.uk.
Also: quoting the excellently written OP (you might want to read it)
Find-Games
Pro: A searchable database of the current prices of games in many of the big UK online store
Con: No updating list. Best used if you NEED a game RIGHT NOW, and just want to check the current best price

thanks. I did check the opening post and that site, I was hoping someone might have caught wind of a newly added deal or something.

Yes they did. Not to mention blatantly lying about the reasons why the whole system was taken offline as well as not even saying it was they that took it offline themselves after the system was hacked.Originally Posted by The_Hitcher89
Didn't they wait for ages to actually confirm the possibility of CC detal theft though?
Really shitty thing of them to do.
Never got any compensation for it personally since I already purchased all the games they offered for free before the debacle. Top service and a real kick in the nuts to the most loyal customers. Not that this label applies to me anymore.
So that's why you never used your PS3. I deleted you off my friends list because you used it so little :DYes they did.

Anything interesting for Rage on pc, download?

It took about a week after Steam and battle.net got hacked for Valve or Blizzard to notify people too. And I believe they were in the same position as far as credit cards were concerned- no evidence that it was compromised but couldn't completely rule out the possibility.Yes they did.

Sorry for the off-topic, but I was looking at Zavvi mega-monday and this surprised me:

Is this the real cover in Europe? did they change the arguably more horrible one with the huge 10/10?

Games I'm interested in include:
Ace Combat AH
Dr. Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights
Paper Mario: Sticker Star
Kid Icarus Uprising
Legend of Zelda: OoT
R. Thief
Shinobi
Star Fox 3D
Tales of the Abyss

You should find Star Fox, Ace Combat and Shinobi fairly cheap on various websites. The others you're lucky if you find it at around the £20 mark new.
Thanks mate, I'll give my brother a heads up about these must have 3DS titles and well check out Zavvi and GAME as well.Originally Posted by Resistance100

Cheapest price for Walking dead on pc? anyone.
I think this is the last time asking for help finding cheap stuff for my Vita.
Got the console and AC liberation sorted, got VLR sorted and now I just need the best place for PS+ and a nice big memory card.
Best I've seen for a year of plus has been £35ish from an amazon marketplace seller and don't really know where to get a decent priced 32GB card. Why can't it just use SD cards like the 3DS? Or hell, Memory stick duo's like the PSP.

Paper Mario has been twice 25 pounds on Amazon in the last two weeks. If you´re lucky it might get back there.

Is it me or can you only get Nintendo eShop cards at places that wouldn't generally discount them like GAME? :( I miss the times I bought PSN money for less than the equivalent real money.
Lego Batman 2 (360 & PS3) has hit the magic £15 on Amazon.co.uk, and comes with £2 Amazon MP3 credit.

Not sure how long it'll last. It usually takes 1year+ for the lego games to drop to £15.
