Cheap Arse Gaffer |Europe| With Or Without EU

Anyone who had their Persona 5 CE cancelled by Amazon.com should probably check their emails. I and some other people in the thread related to the incident got this email from Amazon.




I'm speechless.

Even better it says it's going to be delivered by Friday, which is before release.

My tracking just got updated to Monday =(.. was to much to ask to been able to play it on the weekend.

Mine arrived in the country but for some reason it decided to be transported to the south of the country from East Midlands when I live in Yorkshire. *eyeroll*

That said the estimated delivery date is still Fri.

Lucky you, mine is still in New york, I'm in London.
but, you can get it by tomorrow if it's already in UK.

Simplygames just charged me for my Persona 5 (Steelbook) pre-order. Do they take the money only after dispatching the item or a few hours/days in advance?

That means it will be posted today for delivery tomorrow.

If you order within 21/28 days of release date then they only charge when they will dispatch.

I'm so excited now. Hop mine gets charged soon.

Usually when they have the stock on hand and are about to dispatch., it may not be today since it's so early, but at least tomorrow.

According to their FAQ they charge 21 days after you ordered it. If you ordered it less than 21 days from release, then you get charged when its being dispatched.

Edit: Sorry misread slightly so ill just copy paste. :p

Payment for order will be captured when we dispatch your items unless your order was placed more than 28 days before the official release date. In this case your payment will be captured within 21 days of your order placed.

Thanks guys, I put my pre-order a couple of weeks ago, so according to the FAQ that would mean it's already dispatched, but on my orders information it's still showing as "Pending dispatch"

Well, worst case scenario it should be here by Saturday, cannot complain :p

That's good. I think it will say Dispatched by afternoon.

heh, mine just says "In Progress" and I ordered back in August.
How much was your pre-order out of curiosity? I feel like the price has gone up slightly over time.
 
£44.85. The exact price it is now amazingly.
Mine is £1 less and I ordered a week ago.

Was expecting yours to be £39ish.

I've just become so obsessed about the price. This is the most I've paid for a non-CE in a long, long time. Perhaps ever.

It'll be worth it sure, but feels so expensive.

Ha, I think there was cheaper even when I ordered it, but I only went between Simply and TGC because I wanted it the weekend before and they haven't let me down yet.

Yes they are the best for early deliver.

I've been mulling to buy it with Very. If their £20 off discount code works then it would be £26 total for the game. But you have to make a credit account with them and even after that hassle the code might not work, or it works and then they take the money back months after because it was a code that shouldn't have been shared blah blah and then you're stuck with an open credit account with them and £46 paid for the game without getting it early.

Best to just forget all that nonsense and reward a quality specialist gaming shop with the purchase :)

But then there's my regret at not keeping my Amazon US order of the CE. Might have got the whole thing for free and delivered early if I had done that haha due to Amazon's debacle with cancellations.

All I need is the game delivered so I can stop obsessing this much haha. Now back to Zelda.

I've got some PayPal credit to burn through so, what are my online shop options that let me pay with that and ship to Spain? Preferably trusty sites. Base doesn't accept PayPal and I know about simplygames and TGC.

I've seen nice prices on shopto but I'm still not sure if I should buy there. Nier comes with t shirt, is that the official pre-order one?

I also wanna buy Horizon (I'd like the limited edition with art book but stupid Amazon doesn't accept PayPal), and either Andrómeda, P5 and/or Gravity 2.

Waiting for shipment/delivery is no problem, Nioh is waiting unfinished until I'm done with Zelda and I've got one more dungeon and half the shrines to do still.

Please advice.

You'll be able to make your money back in a year if you want to sell it. I think a mint-condition steelbook PAL version of P5 is gonna be worth a fair bit once it's hard to come by and the plasticbook version is standard.
 
Has anyone's Persona 5 dispatched then?

Nothing over here yet, they charged it this morning but it's still on "In progress - Pending dispatch"

I'm pretty sure they will dispatch it tomorrow morning for Saturday delivery (as usual with Tuesday releases)
 
How are supermarkets these days for game prices? In 2007-11 they were the absolute kings. I read stories of people picking up Fifa and CoD at launch for £25-30.

I never really think of looking now that I only buy online or digital.

Yeah not as good as they used to be but there are still the odd launch promotions and bargain stock clearances.

Those were the days. I remember getting Modern Warfare 1&2 for around £26 at launch, but supermarket pricing isn't what it was last gen (used to do deals with a £30 shop too).

The only exception nowadays is the odd clearance sale in certain branches.

Dreamcast was my favourite period. I bought if with Simply Games because they gave 10 £5 off pretty order vouchers with it and they were selling the games for £30-£35 anyway. It was so goddamn great.

I got my WiiU for £85 from Tesco when they cleared their stock 2 years ago.

Hi guys, I don't know if this is the right place to ask but I need help. A friend is currently in Italy and I want him to buy me the game there. I'm wondering however whether the game will be in English (dub and text) on my UK PS4. Can anyone help?

Winds me up so much when this happens. I've had items go from north to south when I'm in the East Midlands.

Should be what game is it?
 
Just ordered Persona 5 and I've gotten a SMS letting me know that it will be delivered Monday (I'm on Ireland). Is Zavvi always this good? If so, I might need to keep an eye on it.
 
My p5 steelbook from simplygames just dispatched aswell.
Hopefully cex can get me a good price for it on tuesday, TYH edition will be arriving from amazon.

I've had really bad experiences with their customer service, wouldn't recommend buying anything from them

No

EDIT: Just got the Persona 5 despatch notice. Should be a good weekend ahead!

Woooo just got my despatch SMS as well, tomorrow can't come soon enough!

They're doing a Halo Wars 2 (premium edition) 1TB bundle with 3 other games for £260. IMO that's very good.

Oh nice, need to change to the UK store then!

Edit: Damn, they don't ship to Austria.
Edit2: It said invalid post code but I was able to proceed to the next step oO
Edit3: Fuck it, I will wait for Easter deals or even longer.

Come on Simply. Don't let me down...still waiting for Dispatch...
 
My p5 from SimplyGames has also dispatched at 11 this morning. Can't wait for tomorrow now :) always use them for Tuesday releases however used to use shop2 sadly they seem to have stopped early dispatch for Tuesday releases

Apparently my free copy of P5 from Amazon.com is waiting for me at my house.

God dammit why won't the work day end faster.

Yeah it makes no sense. I can only assume they either have set routes so it does such bizarre journeys.

Either that or the tracking is just plain wrong.
