Just wondering if anyone has bought from Fishpond before...
I am really tempted into buying 3000 MS Points for $39.99, but I don't want to get charged $5.99 for the shipping of the card itself. D:
Do they deduct the shipping costs and email the code? (Also, I applied a -$10 coupon too, so I guess $30 for 3000 MS Points is... worth it?)

I remember someone on here had a bad experience preordering from fishpond, but I wouldn't know about buying points. Maybe email them and ask how they process code orders.
Let us know how you go, fishpond seems good in theory but I haven't heard much feedback about them to be honest
That was me. I can't be certain, but I suspect they cancelled my order because I used the coupon code "ecogamer" to get $10 off the order. I've read reports that they inexplicably cancelled other people's orders (for other things) if they used a code that, according to Fishpond, was not valid for their order.
OK, so if I used a coupon code that wasn't applicable, fair enough. It's their own fault their system wasn't designed to reject coupon codes that weren't eligible so that the customers know before ordering. It's just bad service to wait until a day after the estimated ship date to say "Oh hey, we've cancelled your order and we'll just throw in whatever template excuse we have."

edit: I also got a reply from Fishpond... someone please help verify this too? (Haven't bought points cards ever so yeah...)
I think that really goes to show how much their staff even know about what the hell they're selling. "Oh, point cards, I wonder how that works. Duuuuh."

Until you start playing it, and get angry like i think most of GAF will.
Well the game certainly will split the opinions of it's audience. I have the same complaints as most people have about the game's flaws, but despite that, I still enjoyed the game a lot.
I finished the game at 53 hours, I've now clocked in over 60 hours trying to complete the trophies. I wasn't going to get the English version since I'm never going to play it in English, but I couldn't resist the CE being under $100 from Zavvi. :lol D:
I hate CEs coz I'm such a sucker for them.
