Is there a way to get the Amazon lightning deals to revert back to showing in a chronological order? Its odd but at home they'll show like that but at work it just shows the massive list of deals and I can only sort by Top Deals etc.
 
Been waiting all day to see what the WiiU Zelda WW bundle would be on Amazon. Time comes and £240 reduced from £290??? What planet are they on. Really fancy getting a Wii U so will be keeping an eye out here on Friday.
 
It's up for Prime members now. It's £239.99

Ha ha, what the fuck. Forget about it then. I was interested in a Wii U, but I was actually looking for, well, if not a bargain, at least a reasonable price. Fuck's sake.

EDIT - I mean, with 18% off that means it's normally £292. What the holy shit?! Is Nintendo really surprised this console is doing so poorly if this is the price they're charging for it?!
 
The Wii U is still crazy overpriced for what it is, I don't get it. People buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo software and if they lowered the price of entry they'd stand to make a lot more from software imo.

I own one but I got the MK8 deluxe bundle for like £240ish last summer.
 
The Zelda WW HD Wii U Special Edition Bundle is an upcoming deal in 50 minutes if anyone was looking for a Wii U or specifically, the special edition one. After cuts, it probably will not be cheap. However, it might satiate those looking for this bundle.
Hahaha, I knew it. Lame.
This was at 210-230 normal price a couple of months ago, dipped sometimes below 200. Don't know what happened to push it all the way up to 290.
Smh...

They don't care at this point. Lowering it to even £100 won't move the needle enough to make the software sales worthwhile since the machine is prohibitively expensive to make with the gamepad. I love playing mine, but the whole clusterfuck means it won't be sold off cheap until the NX is out.

Meh :( it's a shame it never really got that second lease on life that the 3DS did. I know they had to be really aggressive with the 3DS to get it moving but I feel like with last year's software line-up they could've made a serious dent. Ah well.

It has been said a few times, but nintendo gave up on marketshare some time ago for WiiU and goes purely for guaranteed profitability on hw.
 
That Until Dawn deal was a steal. I was looking online a few days back and it was still hovering above the £30 margin!

I've heard loads of good things about it too.

It's a great game, played it shortly after launch over two parties with friends. Really fun voting on the decisions and we managed to save everyone first try! It was fucking hard though. :p

Yeah I'll go through on my own, and probably bring it over my mates once I've completed it and see how we get on making the decisions. I wonder how well it sold.

There's an ok PS4 deal starting tomorrow, I just pre-ordered it. It's in belgium but I assume it will go EU wide:

http://www.consoleshop.be/product/6...aystation-4-1-tb-uncharted-2e-controller.html

PS4 - 1 TB model
Uncharted HD collection
2nd controller
399


It's basically a variation of the existing 1TB + game bundles, with a second controller thrown in.

389 :) +free shipping to Belgium ;)

Got my two copies of Blazblue from GAME with standard second class shipping, one PS3, one PS4! £0.02 for the pair, bargain.

Game's stupid packaging pulled the cellophane off the PS3 packaging, so it's not 'mint' any more, but I might trade it in somewhere as I don't really need both, or I might just keep in memory of the great deal I got :p

Now, to find out what the hell Blazblue actually is!
 
Hahahahahaha

Forgot to use Quidco though, gutted =(

Surprised this isn't over at HUKD yet but GAME have the Blazblue ChronoPhantasma extend LE for £19.99 for the PS4 and XB1 versions or £14.99 for PS3 and PSVita, it then knocks £19.98 off the price of the XB1/PS4 versions or £14.98 off the PS3/Vita versions respectively for some reason, making each version 1p each.

Link is to PS4 version. I'll await the cancellation to my order for 1 PS4 copy.

Thank you for posting this!

There's not likely to be any Lego Dimensions deals in the run up to Christmas is there?

I'm not sure when it was added - I don't think it was there this morning - but there's a bundle of all the (current) level packs coming up on the half-hour. Curious to see how they price it, because those level packs - individually - are still pretty expensive, and bundled together I'd expect it to be over £100. Hopefully it's reduced pretty significantly from that, but it's Lego, so I can't really expect too much.


Really hoping a good Playstation TV deal crops up.

Edit: £90, or £22.50 per pack. A few quid cheaper than you'd find on the high street, but nothing to get excited over.

I'm actually playing the story mode of BlazBlue now and it makes me want to send it back for a refund.

The actual fighting is fantastic though, so I'll keep it

Yeah, I was waiting for the deal to appear but it wasn't anywhere near tempting enough. They'll be a tenner each next year if I want them then.

Is it any good for someone who's generally a bit shit at fighting games and doesn't know how to play them? Don't actually know whether to play it or store-credit it. Getting it for 1p and then trading it back into game for £20 is just so tempting a proposition.

If it's a ps4 and u want to sell it at a good price I'd be interested. :)

Yeah, there's a "stylish" mode which makes it a lot easier to play, especially on a standard pad. And it is gorgeous.

Just never put the story mode on. I've been skipping dialogue boxes for 20 minutes now after I already lost the fucking plot and I've not had one fight yet.

Cheers, can't hurt to give it a go I suppose unless the story really is that bad!



I'll sell it for 2p and double my money, not a bad little investment!

SOLD. You can't go back on the deal now. Lol

If you don't like it let me know dude. Might take it off your hands.

My Tearaway is meant to be coming tomorrow, The Order is coming Friday.

My Driveclub copy came yesterday, though I haven't tried it or anything. I only really got it for the steelbook. Already owned the game on PSN. xD

You can peel off the USK age rating on the Driveclub steelbook which is nice.
 
I think recurve would be more bareable if the sniper in the middle was replaced with rockets, I hate how there's one sniper rifle and the counter to it is... well nothing.

Having a shotgun underneith is useless as you either have to take a chance on the grav lift or run around the long way and BR's are not enough to kill the sniper, just scare him.

Terrible map.
Which retailer?
