It's at 30€ on Amazon fr, official discount by Amazon, so about the same price.
No idea if it's in english/5 languages as most games are in Europe though.

Wii U.

There is an USK logo on the sticker on the disc.

Not sure about languages, because there is a Japanese language track. I'll check tomorrow night. On the back of the box there is a "Audio" indication with ONLY the Japanese flag, btw, so I don't know if there is another language track on there even.

Edit: oh wait. Down below on the back of the box there is another indication.
- Software and electronic manual: EN, DE, FR, ES, IT
- Quick guide: EN, NL, SV, FI

So probably multilanguage on disc, but localised to some regions for the cover art and the quick guide (= the instructions leaflet I talked about before).

The game has Japanese audio only. But multilingual subtitles.
And the USK logo proves that it's a multilingual disc. I guess they did the same for PS3. Sony for example releases country-specific versions, so that people won't import games (the actual disc only has for example French + English audio or German + English audio on it, UK is English audio only). Most other companies don't do that crap.

Tales Of Graces f (PS3, also by Namco) has multilingual subtitles as well, even the UK release. Still English audio only everywhere.

Thanks. I'll order it at amazon.fr then.

Anybody know the cheapest place to pick up a Dual Shock 4?
Preferably in white.

Best I've found is Nippon Yasan at €42. I'm in Ireland, if that changes much.

Can someone remind me of the name of the UK delivery company where the parcel is delivered by someone in plain clothes please?

I've been trying to remember it for a month :/.

Well, Yodel kind of depends what driver does your area. They've been mostly ok for me, apart from one time when they lost my parcel in the back of their van. They did make up for it and deliver it late, though.

Some drivers seem pretty awful however.

It can't be said that I ever had a good experience with Yodel and there are countless others who have a pretty low opinion of them as well.

Yodel are cunts.

They've left parcels outside my door, handing them off to neighbours when I've made it clear I don't want them do it and have claimed they've attempted delivery when I've been home.

Cunts. The lot of them.

Yep they are hopeless, often saying they tried to deliver and no one was in. Funny thing was I'm sitting at the windows watching lol. I've had so many free months of prime to compensate me lol, but it's damn annoying when such things as expansion packs for WoW and other things are late.

I just don't shop with companies that use Yodel or are sending things through DHL internationally because they often get handed off to Yodel. I just can't deal with them anymore.

I've found that if you bitch about them on social media (e.g. Twitter) their automated detection system will pick it up, they'll tweet @ you and (after you reply with details) they'll actually do something about your delivery.

Hm. If there's a deal too good to pass up or the only place supplying something you want uses Yodel, it might be worth just preemptively doing it.

Is it a bad idea to refuse delivery from Zavvi through Yodel when you did not want the item and yet they still dispatched it? Can I still get my refund? They will return it to Zavvi, right?

Just my 2 cents...I've never had a problem with yodel all these stories on other websites had me scared when I had my ps3 and then when I had some computer parts delivered by them - no problems at all. I've never had anything damaged by them - only by royal mail twice (even then it was just the box).

Things to remember with Yodel is drivers can be self employed, have no postal experience and are given hundreds of packages a day (they are good at delivering to University campuses for this reason as it is a simple drive to the mail room drop off loads of packages in a single stop). With those circumstances you can understand why things can be a shambles.

They are also a really bad selling point for Amazon Prime (why would I want to pay an annual fee to make it more likely that they will be used).

I don't think it makes a difference either way as IIRC with Zavvi accepting the package then asking for refund will result in Yodel (or another courier) collecting it (i.e. them doing so if they are in the area anyway). Still Zavvi and Yodel could be a deadly combination (neither are renowned for great customer services) and it might take a while to recieve the refund.

UK Mail aren't much better either.

Failed Delivery
Update details to include security door passcode, book delivery for following day
Failed Delivery
Call up, speak with a guy that says they didn't have the door code, I point out that it should be in the notes and he agrees it's there. Books delivery for following day.
Failed Delivery
Decide fuck it I'll go pick up from the warehouse.
Give dumbfuck my card, heads off to a warehouse where all I can hear is laughing and joking, comes back 35 minutes later with my parcel!

Depends on your delivery guy.
Mines is good, if he can't make a delivery he'll come back about tea time when there is likely to be someone in.

What websites are the best for importing games from the US? I live in Japan now and everything I used before won't ship globally or charge like $8.

I tend to use videogamesplus.ca. I'm a bit skeptical about putting my card details in directly though due to a card I'd only used on a select few places(one of which was vgp) getting hit with fraud a few months back. They offer paypal, however, which is what I now use.

Thanks looks like they combine shipping unlike Amazon. If I order two games it should be around $7 which is decent. Do they have sales often? Just got a PS4 for cheap and now I'm looking for games.

How are tgc for new games in terms of condition?

From the OP

I have heard some people say bad things about The Game Collection & GAME's sites, tell me why would they say that?
Both these sites have had more than a few occurrences of sending out used 'rewrapped' games listed as "New" on their website to customers. This is not a regular occurrence, but it has happened enough for people to speak up about it on GAF and elsewhere. Sometimes the low cost of the game can justify this tampering, but this practice be extra annoying if certain leaflets (e.g. Club Nintendo points) are missing from you "New" game

Just received club card stuff through the post from Tesco & I see that you can use the club card boost against consoles now. I thought it was just games for some reason. :/

I'm quite skeptical since it's been a while since the game has released. But if I was to purchase where I usually do on eBay, it would almost probably be used at a similar price.

I ordered over 20 games from TGC, for 3DS, Wii U, PS3 and 360, both new and older releases, some of which were extremely cheap (daily deals), this never happened to me.
Click to expand...

Think it's a much rarer thing with TGC (GAME is the real abuser of this). I forget which game it was that someone had this happen to them with TGC.

I think for much older titles on Wii/PS3/360, this might be more the case than Wii U/PS4/XBO games, or more recent PS3/360 games.

What about games? I have £11.50 of vouchers at home, CoD: AW might be nice.

EDIT - Oh shit, it works for games too! Pre-ordered CoD for £19!
