Ouch, sorry to hear that.
At least availability elsewhere isn't a problem, albeit at a less attractive price.

Amazon.fr have stock available again if you wanted to re-order rather than going elsewhere at a higher price: http://www.amazon.fr/dp/B014RE40UA/

I was about to post that, how much was it the first time?
It keeps coming in and out of stock randomly, to be honest I just feel exhausted and can't be bothered any more, it's funny how something so small can just turn you off of something. I guess I'll justify it by saying that I would never have found the time to play it anyways heh and I'll spend that £40 elsewhere. In any case thank you for the heads up, I appreciate it.
That's the same price as it was.
The only difference is you can't do the buy a 50 euro card and get 10 euros thing to get it a bit cheaper still.
For the few people left who own a Wii U but not this game :
Black Ops II on the Wii U is now £2.95 at TGC
Black Ops II on the Wii U is now £2.95 at TGC
I got my copy of Xenoblade from Amazon.fr on Saturday but completely forgot that Nintendo still region locked... so now I guess I have a collectors item I won't open up. Unless someone managed to hack the WiiU to allow for region-free gameplay.
Guess I'll buy a digital copy from the US eshop.

Anyone know of the cheapest UK PS+ instant code?
Ordered a 1 year card from shopto on the 29th, money was taken then, it still has not shipped, still says in stock on website, and they still haven't replied to my e-mails asking what the fuck is going on. Gonna request a refund.
Got a few hours left on my sub and I wanna keep playing the UC4 beta.
edit: Speaking of shopto, their website has a major bug where it keeps resetting my e-mail to an old e-mail I once used on the site. Every so often I'll go to log
into the site using my new e-mail and it tells me there is no account using that e-mail, I need to use my old one, then once logged in, I change my e-mail to my new one once again, which then works until the next time it randonly reverts to my old one.

cdkeys.com with the 5% off voucher that you get for liking its Facebook page. Alternatively, make a new account on your console and sign up to a 14 day PS+ trial. You'll be able to play online with your current account if you set the new account to see your console as its primary console.
Use stockinformer.co.UK and set up a stock alert.
Guessing you have a US system?? They only printed the 1 version for Europe, so it'll work fine on any EU console.

Did you pay for tracked shipping? mine has no tracking info at all which is lame.
Granted yours is much much lamer.
Everything from amazon no matter what version is taking ages to deliver even for Prime members. on top of that they're using some sort of Royal Mail shipping that tracking numbers show no information to you and isn't next day.
Had a router coming shipped last thursday cost me £99.99 and shipped using that weird service. should have been here friday, nope. Saturday? nope. Roll on to today and still nothing.
Ordered a book on saturday for 9.09 shipped using next day special delivery 1pm got it on monday
Ordered a watch strap 24.99 shipped again with that weird service unclear if it'll be here today (doubtful since it was shipped at 8pm)
there are much more orders from me from Amazon the last month and a half that's gone wrong and it's getting worse.
Same, I'd have mostly been buying it for the hat.
The Cap with NES remix was a mistake
This is absolutely terrible practice. I'm unsure if they'll even refund the postage too.
Selling an item, taking the money, shipping the item out incomplete, then informing customers a day later that the item isn't as advertised. Typical Hut group behaviour (remember when they accidentally sent people Tearaway Vita Bundles rather than just the game, and demanded they return it or they'd pursue court action).
I'm going to have to avoid dealing with the Hut Group completely, had way too many bad experiences with them.
Have you got any of those Amazon Lockers near you? They seem to be delivering fine for whatever reason. But yeah, any to my house is a total nightmare.
Royal mail have fucked up with orders from other places too. Wasn't in for something delivered on Thursday, asked for Saturday delivery and got nothing. Tried on monday and passive aggressively circled "Delivery as you requested" with exclamation marks. Fuckers.
The Cap with NES remix was a mistake
Yep, just got that email as well. Really poor form and very unlikely that they couldn't have spotted the error sooner.

I have no idea and went to check just to see the search option on Amazon isn't working atm.
last month I pre-ordered Halo 5 and Assassins creed from Amazon both on prime delivery and both were a day late. I contacted Royal Mail to find out Amazon had actually shipped both out as a 2 day service rather than a next day.
That's messed up :/ Royal Mail are getting worse and worse I mean wtf I know there's mass flooding everywhere and that's screwing everything up but it's worse this year than it's ever been that I can recall.

Hmm, so I check my account and my order has been deleted, and in its place a completely new order for same item has appeared (different order date and order number).
This one seems to be processing, guess I'll just wait it out and see if it actually ships.
I guess if I didn't e-mail them they were just never gonna ship the other order?
Dark Souls II: SoftFS for PS4 is only £12 at Amazon UK.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00QEU6TSM/
I played the vanilla version on last gen and it's my least favorite souls game, but £12 is too good of a price not to try the upgraded version.

That almost looks like a mistake.
Anyway thanks a lot, I was looking for a deal on that.
20 with shipping to Germany.
I got my Xenoblade X today and I'm in Ireland plus my payment went through late. I don't even have time to play it yet anyway so time for me wasn't a worry.
Did any of the tracking work for you when they shipped it? My tracking has not updated at all.

Eh, the hat change at that price is a bit douchy but I can't say no to the game at£9 either.
It's not, they're pricematching Tesco.

I'm getting:
Nooooooooo! I've been watching the price on Amazon and it's been £40+ (!!!!!) only on PS4 for a week or two and yesterday dropped back down to mid-20s.
It's gone. Looks like the usual HDUK shit again.
Fuck it, for £12 I'll buy it even if people don't seem to like it as much as the others. Preparation for Dark Souls 3!
Edit: Fuckers, gone already!

The price still says 12 but when you're in the checkout it's at 40.
So disappointed.

It was only on HUKD for 5 minutes, amazon must have had like 20 copies left
sucks
sucks
Wow, that sucks
I'd keep an eye on it though. If they get more stock they might keep that price to match other outlets.
Damnit, already sold out at that price...

Well there's generally always one or two people online there, yeah.

Bit of a tip I've discovered:
I tend to find that having my prime stuff delivered to my work address guarantees me a pre 4pm delivery time whereas having it delivered to my home address means it'll be up to 8pm.

Not a deal, but I have just received an email from Game to tell me that the Shovel Knight Amiibo has been delayed to the 18th December. Surprising, considering that they emailed me yesterday to ensure my details were correct as they would be processing it today for delivery on the 11th. I have just cancelled it and ordered through Amazon. I had ordered it back in August, which was the only reason I left it with Game for so long. They really are an awful company to pre-order anything with.

I received my XBX LE from Amazon France on Sunday. Really wasn't expecting it until later this week. That's faster than ordering from Amazon UK (without Prime)!
Wonder if it'll ever be that price digitally.
Cheers, I was lucky enough to score a copy.
Great! I was very lucky to find the deal on Amazon by pure chance, before it appeared on HUKD.
