Has there been concrete confirmation about the CoD4 remaster and how it works yet? I checked the FAQ on Activision's website and it suggests it is a digital code and nothing more (a separate question asks if it will be on disc and it reiterates that it is just a digital download code and that you need an internet connection to download), but people still seem to believe it will be tied to disc. Have Activision said this previously? TGC have the Legacy edition of IW for £68 and if I can sell IW I'm going for it but I can't afford to not be able to sell it if I'm doing this.

Pretty sure I read it was a code when I pre-ordered it. Hopefully so, I wanna sell that remaster.

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
Mine arrived today as well

What a great bunch of lads tgc are. Legit the only problem I have with them is the fact that you have to contact them to cancel an order.

Pleased for you, had nothing but problems my last two pre-orders from them, stuffed both of them up, trying to say my credit card was declined yet when I rang the credit card company, they never even attempted to take a payment.
 
Vita GAF amazon.es has Assassin's Creed Chronicles for 10 EUR. I think this is the lowest it has been for the physical release.

bought it!, thanks!

Btw, amazon.es changed my preorder of PS VR to 31/10, I think they left me to the 2n wave or something ¬¬, I guess I'm going to cancel and look somewhere else, the weak pound doesn't help either =(.
Did anyone else have these email from amazon? I made my preorder the same day they had it up in their store.

"Desafortunadamente, la fecha de salida a la venta para el/los producto(s) ha cambiado y queremos facilitarte una nueva fecha de envío estimada en base a la nueva fecha de salida:

"Sony PlayStation VR"
Release date: 31 de octubre de 2016"
 
40 GBP for a game is still a lot cheaper than what the rest of Europe pays. Even at pre-Brexit exchange rate

You really don't know how good you have it

I find that very hard to believe

oh- oh, I misunderstood completely, sorry.

no, that's not hard to believe at all that they would check for the IW disc at COD4 boot :x

EireGAF, Smyths are doing offers for pre-orders, get €5 off the current listing price of certain ones with code PRE5.

CoDIW Legacy Edition comes to €85, considering after currency exchange buying from TGC comes to about €83 I think I'll go with Smyths especially since I trust them and they're next to a CEX.

UK Gaf, Tesco Outlet on eBay have 10 refurbished PS3 DualShock 3 controllers available for £15.00 each buy it now:-
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401123432351
Tesco Outlet seem to accept best offers of £13.00 or more (During working hours) but anything lower is automatically declined.

I have purchased two previously and they were practically brand new, however YMMV. One came in the original box, whilst the other came in a plain brown box. The only thing I noted was that the serial number on the rear sticker had been crossed out with black marker, but a small amount of isopropyl alcohol (99% isopropanol) on a cotton bud soon sorted that!

Hope this helps someone :)

Thanks for this but the pound is far too weak for it to be any benefit. I was looking at Mafia 3 with the discount is €59.99. Amazon has it for €49.34.

Still it's better than the joke of a price Gamestop are charging, €75 for the same game is ridiculous.

Ah yeah I know some prices are still out there but it makes a couple go for a decent price at least. And yeah if it takes business away from GS and gives a good store like Smyths more business then I'm happy, they destroyed everyone on prices for FIFA, CoD and SW: Battlefront last year.

Why did you have to post that

I bought this for €220 and it was the worst money I ever spent. The statue is pretty damn ugly and nothing else in the box is interesting... But still, as a die-hard Mirror's Edge fan, I had to get it... u_u

As you said, this CE is crap and when I could get the awesome Titanfall CE for 100€ months after release there was no chance this would sell out before massive price drops. I actually expect to see it even lower soon.

Isn't this one of those limited editions that don't even include the game? Why did they make distinctions between each version then? Is the content different in any way?

No, comes with the game.

Saw the game for £25 in Sainsbury's earlier and was tempted for a second, but it looks like it's heading the way of the first one and in a few months it'll be a fiver.

Origin/EA Access before the end of the year is my guess.

But you did get that temporary tattoo sticker, right? That must have been worth the 220 euro alone :lol

Seriously though, I feel for you
 
They really fleeced fans with that LE. Nothing in it looks worth 200€+
Not even close

I also think the game was really weak and I loved the original
