Yakuza 0 (PS4) has decreased from £39.99 to £39.57

It begins! Maybe I'll grab it...

Still waiting for my pre-order to arrive from Amazon UK. It was sent January 23 and I got a full refund couple of days ago when I told them about the package still missing.

They sent it with UPS i-parcel and incidentally it seems to be one of the worst parcel services ever. A lot of people at least in Finland whose i-parcel packages simply never arrive. It's not some marginal 1/1000 packages lost, this feels like a bigger issue with that service right now.

Speaking of not getting games. base hasn't still sent my copy of Nioh. Seems they're out of stock. No problem because I don't really have to time play it before April but pretty rare that game I've preordered hasn't been even sent after 2 weeks of release.

I just placed a preorder for a Nintendo Switch from amazon.es - is it possible they still have units left for launch day?

If you placed a preorder on Amazon.es, they tell you the estimated delivery date during the order process. Just trying to order it right now, it tells me that I would receive it on Mar 3 if sent to a Spanish address.


Tempted by Bomberman for Switch launch. Best deal going at the moment? I recall seeing it for £35 somewhere. :)

I'd recommend to only order that game after some previews hit.

US Amazon use i-parcel and they seem okay in the UK.

At least in the UK, after it left the US it was passed onto our local post service, Royal Mail. They then handled the delivery through normal post.

Thanks, yes I have preordered now. Weird, I would have thought that the Switch would sell out.

I somehow missed videogamebox.co.uk turning into crooks last year and my Zelda WiiU preorder with them won't be fulfilled, nor will I get back my money :/ their trust pilot reviews are littered with people in a similar situation.

The site is still up and running, just thought I'd let peeps know not to go near them.

yeh I had a similar problem with them, unfulfilled preorder that they kept promising would be available soon. eventually had to file for a refund via Paypal which was uncontested but it took me 2 months to get the money back.

Yeah that's how it's supposed to happen in Finland as well, the national post service should handle the actual delivery and I consider them very reliable especially compared to, well, pretty much any other delivery/courier service. However these UPS i-parcels that go missing never get handed to our post service. According to tracking, they arrive in Finland but that's where they stop, they are never handed forward. When I asked i-parcel customer service about it, they actually replied that these i-parcels have no tracking at all despite Amazon giving us tracking codes that actually update and can be used on UPS i-parcel website.

So my conclusion with all this was that something odd is definitely going on but there's not much customers can do about it, other than ask Amazon for new item/refund and leave them feedback about i-parcel.

Glad you got your money back. I pre-ordered back in 2014, thinking Zelda was 2015...I'm way past being able to file anything with paypal.

Akiba's Beat is currently 19,99€ from a third party seller @amazon.es, it's probably a pricing error but since it's managed by amazon will they make up for it in any way if the guys end up cancelling the item?

It's interesting though because a couple of days ago it showed up listed for 30€ from the same seller (I even placed my pre-order then), today I went to check if it was still there and noticed that the price is even lower right now. We'll see how this goes.

Nope, it's still there for me. Should've specified that only the PS4 version is listed at 19,99€.

Also the PS4 version says it's for PS3 but the same happens if you pre-order from amazon.es. :| Something is wrong or someone dropped the ball.

Oh, right, seller "Jeux Video Petits Prix".

I fucking hate when new consoles launch and publishers/retailers try to get away with charging £50 for a few months or so. It's sad when £48 is referred to as a "deal".

Ummm it was out of stock until like yesterday so it's not really a deal so much as a "grab it while you can because it's probably a very low print run"

I've had a lot of trouble with Amazon recently. Two copies of the last guardian, one copy of dues ex and an ad card never showed up. Those were all seperate orders and represent maybe 40% of my total Amazon orders in the last 6 months. I'm in Ireland btw.

This is for the Wii U version which has been sold out on Amazon for a while, and some places were charging upto £60 for a copy.
It has been much lower on Amazon in the past though, I've got my 2015 preorder locked in at £35 without any additional discounts.

Any deals going on for Xbox Live Gold? Been a member for 11 years but decided to let my current subscription expire since I keep seeing people getting discounts when renewing but after a week I've had nothing offered from Microsoft.

ms needs to step up their game. i got pissed, that some people in the US got a new 360/XBOX One, for being a loyal XBLG subscriber. we got screwed in EU.
so yeah. oh and the constant awesome sales on PSN are incredible too. I really dont know, why MS is not making more of an effort.
Until X1 MS was leading in having awesome deals----

so yeah, there is that.

is that a deal:

the last guardian and the neverending story blu-ray for 32pounds?

Depending on how much you want to risk it, Boomerang have the Breath of the Wild preorder for £40.

It's also the cheapest place for Nioh right now, and they're both under my personal £40 cut-off mark, so I'm seriously thinking about it...

My man. Yep. It's all shit. Like when Xbox and PlayStation have a 30% deal on but the games are £33 only because they charge like £69.99 to begin with. Like WTF how is that a deal?

That's the price you pay for being an early adopter and that's the way it kind of has to be. If you don't care for that, just don't buy consoles at launch.

Anyone know the cheapest place for ME Andromeda preorder? (PS4, UK)

At Smyths it's £39.99 using a code, haven't seen it under £40 elsewhere but I haven't pre-ordered a game before so I'm not too sure which retailers I should be checking

I was going to pre-order from Smyths but I'll see how good their service is with Horizon first. It's the cheapest I've seen so far.

Root Letter Limited Edition(PS4) @ Game.co.uk now for £14.99/£17.94(International shipping included)

and

Steins Gate Zero Limited Edition @ Game.co.uk now for £24.99/£27.94(International shipping included)

Last time they were sold out quickly. Especially Root Letter. I guess they have some stocks left, but I have a feeling that the stock is not that much and it will be sold out quickly like what happened yesterday with Valkyrie Drive Bhikkhuni.

And both games are back in stock again. Also in stock:

Steins Gate Zero Limited Edition (Vita) @ Game.co.uk now for £14.99/£17.94(International shipping included)

And a little warning:
As it was posted/mentioned before by other members, I've received my Root Letter LE. And the LE box was pretty much damaged. Looked like it came right from a Game.co.uk store. Also the game disc was loose while it was still sealed. Contacted Game, but they couldn't give me a new one because it was at that moment out of stock. So for anyone, especially International members, I've made my warning.

Yeah I stated the same warning a few pages back.

I had the same experience, though the PS4 case was properly sealed for me. I twas just the outside box that had been visibly damaged.

Frustrating really, but I'm not surprised. Always happens with stuff from GAME. People have little care.
