Stolen this from hukd:


Playstation VR Headset £329 @ Tesco with coupon: (TDX-WYMJ)
"Save £20 when you spend £150 or more on Tesco direct. Excludes Tesco Partners"
http://www.tesco.com/direct/playstation-vr-virtual-reality-ps4/182-7550.prd

I'm tempted, since the pound plumed the conversion from amazon.es is ~£340, but does anyone know how good is tesco delivering these things? It doesn't allow me to select click and collect.

For an item like that, they'll usually use a coriour so you'll have it on the day of release.

They're fine.

With staff discount I could grab it for £296.10, but I'm just not sure about VR and whether or not it'll take off. Don't want another (much more expensive) PS Move on my hands.

That sound like a good price, and yeah, I get what you're saying, I was thinking the same, but I want it to take off, so I'm kind of supporting it by getting one, I only wish it was closer to £300 than 350.

Just be happy they announced the price before the whole EU thing. It may have gotten even more expensive if they hadn't announced that yet...

I'm Afraid they won't work on the PS4.
The Wii (Bowser) & Wii U (Donkey Kong) starter packs are on sale quite often on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00YRZ6WMY/

I picked both of them up for about £13 each a few months back.

The Crash Bundle should be coming to the Wii U to at some point too, so if you own a Wii U that'll be your best bet to play with all the characters.

Edit: They also function as regular Amiibo.

Is there a reasonably cheap way to get Rocksmith and a cable? Any version of the game on any platform, basically, but ideally PS4 if there's a way to do it.

Bit of a long-shot, but has anyone used instant-gaming and recently and had fraudulent activity on the card they used?

I spent 85p on I am Bread, then a few days later my card had been used to spend £1500 :( Getting it all refunded at least. I'm very sure the transaction with instant-gaming caused it, as I only use it in places that don't take Amex or Paypal.

Any deals on Forza Horizon 2 going around? The demo is pretty impressive.
Click to expand...

Cheapest I've seen Horizon 2 for is like £27 on Amazon.

But, if you mean Horizon 3(I'm kind of assuming you do considering while the demo for Horizon 2 was pretty impressive, it was impressive some years ago now!).

Smythstoys you can get it for £37 with a code. http://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/...on-xbox-one/p-18619/forza-horizon-3-xbox-one/

If you're wanting the PC version as well, the best deal is probably buying from another region. In Singapore it was £39 I think. Go to the buy Horizon 3 page on the xbox site, change the region to Singapore, and then you can add your Paypal account to pay. There's no region locking for now, but you do need to add a Singaporean address.

I bought this last week, and had to return it because it didn't work ¬¬
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007KGISK6/
£24 the cable only, it was the cheapest one I found, I tried to get one from amazon.es (slightly cheaper) but they didn't found stock in 4 weeks so I cancel it.

For the game I got it in a steam sale, I didn't see any cheap version on ps4 sadly.

(I know it was defective because I had an old cable from my ps3 version, and even in the pc one says "usb mic"(the defective one) and the other "rocksmith usb cable" or something like that)

Yeah, looks like we aren't. Good thing Amazon US still ship to the UK, then.

Sorry, I might be part Swedish. part Irish, and part a little bit of everything else, but my fighting spirit seems to be all Mexican, so it was too good a package to pass up.

are we expecting a WiiU price reduction here in europe for Q4, assuming they announce NX in september?

I am trying to warm up to buy a WiiU to play the handful of games I am interested in + Zelda when it arrives but spending around 400 for a WiiU + games whe it's on its way out of the market is really inexcusable,

They got the nintendo selects right so that's being take care of but the hardware itself, at this point it shouldn't be anymore than 199 euro IMO

Is there anywhere in the world where Until Dawn is not 40€ or more? Maybe I missed some deal on PSN or something but I still can't find it cheap.

UK. It's £20 at CEX and £23 at GAME second hand which is too much for me, it is a 2 year old game after all. I think I might have to give up on this one. Even Amazon want £28 for it.

Where do you live? Until Dawn was very very cheap in Germany at the begining of the year for like 15.20 Euros.

Around December/Christmas 2015 - January 2016 there was an "official" Europe wide sale on pretty much every Sony published retail PS4 game (except maybe Bloodborne). Until Dawn was somewhere along 20-30€ everywhere in Europe. That's when I bought it, though in Finland it was 30€ instead of the cheaper prices I saw it going for elsewhere in Europe.

Might as well wait for 3 at this point or get 2 when 3 comes out as the price will crumble then.

Ok, maybe I'm a little LTTP but I just found out that if you preorder South Park: Fractured But Whole you get The Stick Of Truth right away for free.

Question is: what if I preordered it, then cancel the preorder and wait for it to get cheaper after launch? Can I keep Stick of Truth or Sony takes locks it like it was a Plus game without subscription or something like that?

I imagine you can't cancel a pre-order once you download SoT, because starting that download implies you've agreed to the sale and the "no refunds" schtick.

Bonus question on the Fractured but Whole pre-order bonus...does anyone know if the physical versions will come with the stick of truth DL?

I preordered with TGC and they werent sure...was it just a digital and ubi store only incentive?

Problem is the cheaper sites don't seem to sell it any more.

I think it's a case of MS not over shipping it. Thus, sadly, it's kept its value.

Maybe, No Mans Sky was dispatched early, but I got it on release day. I got Uncharted 4 three days early so that was cool.

For some reason I thought Deus Ex was out on the 30th! So I am excited.
