This seems to be a common tactic this time round. Lure people in with offers and then quietly cancel. Tesco did the same thing with me and Doom - it was only £14 so hardly a massive mis-price.

What's the cheapest price on FFXV deluxe (anywhere in Europe is fine, I don't mind ugly logos 
)
I think I actually want the deluxe edition contents tbh, and GAME seems to be the only one carrying it in the U.K. (for £70 as well :/)

Gameseek has Xbox One version for £57 or PS4 for £65. Never ordered from that site so i cant say anything about them.

Edit: Just saw they get the PS4 version 1 week after release.
I'd be fuming if I was someone who'd not bothered to get the HMV offer because of this.

Has anyone tried using the cd keys cyber Monday code? I can't get it working.
It only works on games that are on their cyber monday sale. Also probably requires you to be logged in.

If I sell my 500GB Xbox One how much am I likely to get for it. I'm seeing prices on ebay from £120 - £160. I'm trying to work out what the net spend on an Xbox One S for £200 would be.

CEX will give you £122 so I'd say privately you could get £140 or so.
Wow that's pretty good. You could almost swap for free. £229 from MS store with Fifa, halo 5, FH3. £24 cashback from quidco (ends tonight so hurry up) takes it down to £205. sell the three games for..£50? Now you're down to £155. Sell the xbox for £140 and it only cost you £15 to change

I'm actually pretty tempted to do it myself, even if it's just to get an updated warranty and 4k blu Ray player.

Anyone got shipping confirmation for FFXV from Game? They ship before 5, so I guess I'm out?
I was in Game today and they had it for £15 if you're still looking.
US got that sweet 99$ new 3DS deal while we're stuck with paying 160+ and you can't even charge the goddamn thing.
Nintendo stop fucking with us, it's a dead console, discount it while you can still sell it

A few weeks ago I ordered a mouse from them(Wouldn't usually, but they were the cheapest) around the same time as a lot of other releases were happening. I didn't get a dispatch at all, and it never came up as shipped in my account. It did however come when I expected it to(ie in 2 days as it was second class post). I checked Twitter at the time, and a lot of people who'd pre-ordered stuff had complained that they never got any notice, but it did arrive on release.
Long story short, don't give up hope, it may still come tomorrow and they're still doing silly things with their dispatch system.

Thanks. With Scorpio coming out next year I want to be careful about buying an S. For £15 or so the benefits of the 4k blu ray and a slightly better console is worth it even if I probably will sell it on in one year.

Appreciate that. I already bought it from them online for that price and it's on it's way. Wasn't impressed at all with Tesco taking my money either!

Speaking of TGC, FFXV's the first game they haven't got to me before release date. I did only pay £30 though, so I can't complain.

Thanks for the confirmation. I'll just go digital for now and pick up a retail copy down the line, I guess.

shopto does not let me register without a credit card, am I missing something?
Too bad. Where can I order that version ?

In moments like that I really hate that psn is "region lock", it's a good offer.

GAME seem to have found some more online stock of the Steam Link, at £15.99, if you're interested. IIRC this is one of their deals that only lasts until the end of today (Monday), so you've just under a couple of hours to pick it up.

Little bit of work required here, but Tesco stores are seemingly dumping their Wii U stock and if you are lucky you can grab a few bargains. I managed to snag Paper Mario Color Splash for £12.50 and Pokken Tournament for £16, while others have grabbed the likes of Zelda Twilight for £12.50 and Mario Kart for £14. Unfortunately the prices are not nationwide, but well worth checking your local stores to help round out your collection.

Yeah that's it, I completely agree. I was talking to a friend about this earlier today - I find it bizarre that Game had a couple of Wii U offers over the weekend, but not a single penny dropped off the price of a 3DS. They launched a couple new colours just this month, so it's not like there's a shortage of stock!
nintendo is apple.
they dont drop their stupid prices.
since the wii, they have their premium-shit figured out.
if you see some deals, grab them while you can.

Pretty sure there were deals for Nintendo handhelds over BF, but all of them were for 2DS. That's the system Nintendo wanted to push in EU. You could find it including a game for 80-100€
The i5 6500 £20 cheaper than everywhere @ http://www.play-asia.com/intel-core...WZEIUIIoFRG1WrrCLtERoC-0zw_wcB&ref=froogle_uk . Is this a good deal - or is play asia a dodgy POS?
Wouldn't you be paying hefty import taxes for that?
Dash Kappei
Not actually that important
Don't you live in Italy?
It's constantly on offer for 89/99 (while the XL is 129 and the 2DS bundle with NSMB2 was 49) at Unieuro stores.
Got a white New 3DS for 89 myself for Valentine Day (also Mario Maker for 20), came as 100 shipped since I don't have a store near me to pick it up there. (Add 11 if you order online without in-store pick up, coz shipping is fuckin expensive there)
It was the second time they had run the promo and they did it two times more after that. Last time was in June.
Dunno if it's on sale atm but you should check there regularly just in case or set a Facebook alert or something.
Edit: full price right now

Jim Sterling just did a video on this, they'd rather sell out and fuck over their fans than see them have a good deal.
Also holy shit that is bad from Simply, wait til all the deals are over and cancel. If was me I'd never use them again.

129 for a New XL? That's insane - we're stuck paying £170+ here!
Great price for those games for sure!

Yeah I remember this, I bought from them when it was on sale for 130 because it seemed a nice deal, then two weeks later it was 99 (same place, Unieuro) and they've had it a few more times iirc.

Jesus, seeing all these trustpilot reviews for simply games.
They a good company. Probably my favourite retailer. They tend to be cheapest and quickest. But they screwed up here and should have made amends. They can't blame stock issues as nobody here or on HUKD has actually got the game from them. They should be giving a discount to the people affected.
They need to act how GAME behaved with that PS4 deal. They cancelled orders too, but realised their mistake.
You can't just advertise something and then not honour it. This wasn't a misprice. You behaving in a poor manner and stopping people from buying the game from other places.
This is coming from someone who paid full price for Titanfall.

It's off the back of cocking up the World of Final Fantasy pre-orders too and not giving people day 1 editions while still advertising having the Day One edition after launch.
It's a shame, it's a company I've been dealing with since I got my Dreamcast from them and they've been consistently great for me personally, but those two cock ups in quick succession do make me question it, even though I got a copy of Final Fantasy XV for £32 and delivered 3 days early which TGC couldn't even match this time around.

Some people on HUKD did recieve it apparantley not many though.

Good price for a great game, I picked it up for £25 on eBay sealed US copy. Never seen it drop that low again though.
