I don't live all that far from Germany, so technically I could drive to a store and pick some games up. ;-)

I guess TheGameCollection. They have now 10% discount on selected pre-orders if you use the code GAMESCOM17. Price will be £22.45. ~£1.50 cheaper than Base.
Tesco charge immediately.
Nintendo UK charge on dispatch.
I meant the USK logo would physically burn your hands off. Of course.
The versions with the USK logos are more rare, I prefer these limited editions.
Mine's just been dispatched. Usually comes next day.

Thanks. I may chance it and put an order in, then.

Cheers! Think I'll grab the Pokemon Ultra Sun/Moon Dual edition from Nintendo then before it goes out of stock.

İf you pay by PayPal it's instant.
Worth noting that's the case almost anywhere. PayPal doesn't hold reserved payments longer than 21 days so it would have to be re-authd.

Will Amazon customer service be awesome and stick that discount onto already pending pre-orders?
I have Metroid and Mario ordered from them, but my pre-order prices are both cheaper that what they're charging currently, so I don't want to cancel and reorder with the code.

Always depends on who you get in my experience. I'd try 3 times and then leave it.

Yup you can't even order a Switch directly from Amazon now either.
Just added the £5 off code to a pre order for Super Mario Odyssey to bring it down to £37.
1. Add something to your basket over £35
2. Apply promo code but don't complete order
3. Go to your pre order
4. Click change payment method
5. Click continue (don't change anything at all)
6. Done

Well, Base Com are either Heroes or Villains as i have just had confirmation that Mario + Rabbids has been dispatched too! WooHoo! I could have both Kiwami and Rabbids in the next day or so, it's like the early 2000s all over again with early delivery of pre-orders.
Must. Not. Get. Hopes. Up.

My shipping date hasn't changed after doing this, so I'm hopeful nothing will happen.

Shiiiiit. Someone's getting a £65 SNES Mini (it's me).
I think someone has had a word about their shipping practices as Madden went out Thursday for Friday and it seems to be their new thing. Really annyoing and I don't mind getting games on release, just I don't always get 1st class next day.

Unless you've just moved yourself to the back of the queue, of course.
Still first in the queue for the second wave!
Preorders have ended already, and Amazon only sold preorders for the first (and maybe last) batch, which is releasing at the end of September. So even if you are at the end of the queue, you should still get it. Also still shows as shipping at launch.
Admittedly I haven't used them recently. I think the last few things I've pre-ordered were either from Simply or Amazon due to being cheaper, or in Amazon's case - discount codes. Simply seem to still ship early.
I don't mind getting what I ordered on release, it's just I don't really think shipping Saturday guarantees a Tuesday delivery. Not with a bank holiday causing Royal Mail to be especially busy.
Eh, I'm not superinvested in getting one, particularly not immediately, so getting either a cheap one or none at all is fine by me.
If it's just a small game they usually use Royal Mail in my experience.
However, with the bank holiday they may decide to use their own courier instead, that way they can still ship it on the Monday for delivery on Tuesday.
That's what I thought, but I received Crash by post & Lost Legacy by courier. Puzzled me a bit as those are the only times I've pre-ordered from them.
I had no choice but to order from Nintendo UK store, as every other outlet I checked had no stock for the grey Switch.
It's supposed to deliver tomorrow, and dispatch today -- however it's still set to "Awaiting Dispatch" on their website.
I'm really hoping that they don't fuck me on this.

As a default, yes. Keep your eyes open whenever you want credit, but as a general rule, cdkeys is the place.

Got NiNoKuni Collectors Edition down to £130 now through Amazon. Looks like I'll just cancel Zavvi and Shopto preorders now.

I can't get this to work. Got a pre order already down to 40 for Mario which I don't wanna cancel.
Tried doing this trick but can't get it to work to get it to 35. How did you do it?

Damnit. I do still have Rabbids X Mario to order though, so I may use it on that if it's available.
thanks, but it seems about the same as cdkeys with the facebook discount.
also press start charges you 1,30 if you pay via PayPal.
