Maybe it's because we were polite?
EDIT: Or maybe because we weren't obviously scalpers. I ordered two copies (one for my friend) but any more than that and maybe they would cancel it.

I got a German Vita games voucher with my Vita pack and it worked on the Scandinavian PSN.

Yep, they're sound. Used them a couple of times and never had a problem.
Well I shan't be boycotting them, but I don't think I'll be pre ordering anything I want on release day there again! Not a huge deal for me as normally I don't care, but unusual to see them wait to long to ship

Just got my Gamestop EDF shipping email as well. Wasn't expecting that, thought it was a cancellation for sure!

Zavvi have dispatched my Vita card/game bundle less than 24 hours after ordering....
Come on Zavvi, what's the catch? Have you wished the 10 Plagues of Egypt upon me?

They are shipping half the components of your bundle now, half next month. Some assembly may be required.

That's nothing special. They do that for the last 6 months or so
Ordered the Gremlins Steelbook 2 days ago. It said "dispatched within 5-10 days" and it was actually dispatched yesterday.
But US gets good additional discounts for having Plus, if I recall.
You won't get Ni no Kuni for 5 without US Plus, though.

Well if you can somehow get your hands on a US PS+ trial I guess you could get the sale price.

Has anybody pre-ordered Drakengard 3 (Standard Edition) from Play-Asia? It will not let me as it said it is out of stock. Am I too late or what?
So the Humble Store have started charging in Euro rather than dollars since the last time I checked it out. Predictably this makes it a lot less dealicious than previously.SAINTS ROW IV: is 50% off on the Humble Bundle store, includes the Steam key .

Happened last week. GOG will also be doing regional pricing as well, though they'll still be charging in dollars.
The standard edition is still available to pre-order as far as I can see.

Yes it is but it will not let me. It keeps saying:
Interestingly I could proceed with PayPal. I believe you pre-ordered from Play Asia. Were you able to checkout with their system? Or did you do it through PayPal?

These finally exist now? I tried to order the Disney 16GB pack months ago and ShopTo sent me the wrong pack (ironically not all bad as I got the 10 game original pack).Nobody else seemed to have these packs so wondered if they were being held back. Kinda tempted though this would be my 3rd Memory Card for Vita..

Bleh. Got it for 30 pounds from shopto last week. Should have waited I guess.
Nevertheless, fantastic game

They've been available for a while, as far back as last summer IIRC?
Personally I'm just going to carry on with a single 16gb card, then upgrade to a 32gb one in the coming months.
JennyTablina

Oh I knew the 8GB's were a thing and then they introduced the 16GB packs around the time tearaway launched. Just seemed like the only 16GB packs about really was the 10 game pack for a while
I used paypal. This was weeks ago, though.

This is so ridiculous. Fuck over your european costumers again and then, when the next unfinished, bug ridden, microtransaction-infested game bombs, blame pirates. /rant
GOG too? Ugh. I remember when Green Man had universal pricing and charged in dollars. Combined with their vouchers, the deals you'd get were absolutely INSANE. I don't think I've bought a single game from them since the change (their prices are still competitive vis-a-vis many others', but I guess I realised that given my huge backlog I should wait for a really interesting game or a GREAT saving to bite).

I want but just don't need! Currently have 80GB of Vita storage and rarely bother to swap the cards.

Slightly worried about being charged import duty on the vita memory card - any UK GAFFERS got one without issues?

Yep, recieved it the other day from YesAsia, tho it took nearly 3 weeks to arrive for £59.
Mine cost £65 from Nin-Nin Game - and I used the P&P where they send it to Amazon in France first who then deliver it. No import duty, and I ordered on a Friday and it arrived the following Wednesday. Would definitely use them again!

Received my ebay console only Xbone today. It must be new as it looks like it dropped straight out of a retail box i.e. still has all that clingy plastic and was taped neatly in new console white wrap. It also came in a bubble wrap packaging made to fit the console exactly which suggests some sort of factory refurb. Still waiting on a power supply.

Almost forgot about that one, just ordered without problems, credit card payment...
