Great deal
I was looking for Rayman on the cheap before

This is my first time buying from zavvi and I was pleasantly surprised that they do not charge a shipping fee for international orders

Well anyone got an idea how long it will usually take to ship (to germany)?

5-6 days probably. Allthough recently they seem to have become a bit faster.

Had Infamous: SS Special Edition and MGS: GZ on pre-order at Shopto for £81.20 combined but just realised Asda have both as well for the price of £77 combined using the GAMES5 code. Add in your staff discount like me and that's a nice £69.30! Just a wee tip for anyone!

Funnily enough I just checked this thread to find the same answers as you. Amazon.co.uk are not in stock and @ £55 they are hardly cheap anyway.

Caved in and bought a black DS4 at Zavvi. They have it for £42.99 for their MM-sale.
Found a 10% discount code they sent to me so it came down to £38.69 incl free shipping to Sweden.

I'd take the Infamous CE over the countless statue CE's they've been releasing the past few years. That said, I suppose that says more about my hate of statue based CE's, more than the Infamous one.

The only thing more pointless than a statue is a jacket game case thing.

What the fuck were they thinking?

Thanks to you, as of today I'm the proud owner of a new WiiU :). I got the Premium + NintendoLand pack for 190 something€, that's all that was left (Corte Inglés in Parquesur, in case someone else is interested; there were a couple more remaining, but the clerks had no idea about the sale and they were still tagged 350€ :D they had to check the computer). I would get a 3DS for sure at 85€, but it's out of stock online; anyone found them in any physical Corte Inglés?

In any case, again, thanks. :) Now, anyone knows the cheapest place in Europe to get Wonderful 101, Super Mario 3D World and New Super Luigi (it's my understanding the latter includes New Super Mario Wii U)?
Click to expand...

Nope. It actually doesn't feature Mario at all, not even in multiplayer mode.

Is there a way to filter Amazon to look for games that are between a certain price range, say up to £10, and supported by Amazon Prime/free delivery?
I'm sick of searching for new games below £10 and either getting things that have £3 delivery, or getting shown results for Black Ops 2 because you can get it preowned for £9.

The 3DS page gives you an option to look for games under £10 and it works, but manually doing the filter for other consoles just doesn't.

Has anybody seen a better deal on Lego Marvel Superheros for the PS4 than £29.68 from Amazon in the UK. Want to pick it up for my son as he loves the demo but not paying the £54 Sony want for it off the PSN store.

Pretty sure it was £25 at Argos but when i look now they also have it for £30

(if your in the UK Argos do have the advantage of being somewhere you can go and get it now rather than waiting for an Amazon delivery)

Which, if Nintendo never releases it for sale "solo" (which I somehow doubt but it could actually happen..), will be worth tons in the not-so-distant future.
Click to expand...

That would mean Super Luigi U would only be available digitally after the green boxes sell out. It's possible, but I doubt they'll handle it that way.

How good is Rayman 3D on 3DS? I don't have one yet, but I loved Rayman 2 on PS2.
Click to expand...

It had a pretty horrible frame-rate when I played it. I did see that performance increased with one of the firmware updates though, so you may have to ask someone who's already played it.

I know this was a few days ago now, but was anyone able to order Pokemon Typing from the UK? I tried but was only able to select the Netherlands at the checkout.
Product link again:-

...Still annoyed with myself for not ordering one from Amazon when it was £17.10 :(
Click to expand...
Just to update on this, since posting I have noticed that the Amazon UK price for Learn with Pokemon: Typing Adventure (with Nintendo Bluetooth Keyboard) has been steadily falling and has now hit £17.24
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0096763KY/
Which is close enough to the last deal price, so I have just ordered a copy (Even though the price could potentially drop further, I dont want to risk it going back up to full price again!)

Thanks to foobarry81, Starwolf_UK and Tribes of Trusty for your replies a few weeks ago, and for saving me from ordering an import copy with AZERTY keyboard layout :)

Nintendo said the Super Luigi U physical edition was limited to the Year of Luigi. I don't know when that ends, and they likely manufactured quite a few more than have been sold, so it's hard to tell if it will pick up in value. I doubt it will at this point, or at least, not for quite a few years. But I don't know much about that stuff. I only picked it up because I'd rather not use the eShop for purchases. Plus, that green box.

The Year of Luigi was 2013. So they will sell out at some point. And after that I expect a compilation in retail. Potentially with Nintendo Selects label afterwards. :)

But we'll see. I picked up the little green box just to be sure.

Slightly off-topic but i would like to order the Final Fantasy X/X-2 remaster for PS Vita at Amazon UK and while FFX comes as physical cart, X-2 will come as a digital download code.

My Vita is linked to the Dutch PSN store. Will i be able to download the game? I know download codes are region specific, but do they differ from countries inside a region as well? The local price is around €50 euro so i would prefer to get it from the UK.

Unless the download voucher code is region free, you might not be able to download X-2 due to your account restrictions.

I think it doesnt matter as long as you are not trying to purchase space bucks and add them to another account.

I have a german account and bought a swedish gt5 le and downloaded the content.

Oh and yesterday i downloaded castlevania los dlc and mirrors of fate, which i bought in uk.... Also to my german account.

You should be fine.

Probably yes. The download code works on all European stores if it's the same version all across Europe. I asked someone from SE on the PS Blog a while ago if the German version will also include English text and he said yes, which would mean all languages are probably in every version, so every European version would be the same.
But that's sadly not a 100% confirmation for anything, so if you want to be sure, wait a bit until after the release, so someone can actually confirm this.
