Oh, in that case it isn't really much of a deal at all since 1000 points from the Wii shop channel cost £7.
Unless you really want to save that 2p.

Yeah, but DS points cost £10 for 1000.

If you buy 6 of them and live in the UK it is a good deal due to free delivery on orders over £25. As was said before, it is unlikely they'll re-stock.

What the f*** is up with inFamous?!
Why is it 38 pounds everywhere (Sites that ships WW - blahdvd, game, zaavi and some more)???

I want this game so badly but I don't know if I want to pay that much for it. And I just know that a few days after I'll buy it, the price will drop to around 30 pounds :(

Why are you doing this to me?!
Click to expand...

worse for me, I have a thing for (not too expensive) CEs/SEs. The cheapest Infamous one (only PAL-version available) I saw was 40£ + European-shipping.
I liked the demo really much, but I had no time back then. I hoped with time the 40£ would go down, but no. Now I feel I should have bought i back at release (for that time, this would have been a good price for a CE) :(

You can get the CE from blahdvd for 40 pounds, and I think shipping is an extra 2.
I'm buying my copy from MyMemory after I'll get my PayPal code.

May well be mis-priced but I'm ordering now just in case
Click to expand...

done thx :D

though that would be the last game I expect not to be worth the full price (will have HUGE amount of content + the loooong development time).

I expect the order to be canceled, but 24.13£ (shipped to germany) would be awesome ^^

Delicious price.
I know what the site says with price guarantee, but does anybody have experiences with amazon in cases like this? Is there a chance that they actually honor it?
Click to expand...

well, actually most shops will charge the price of the time you made the preorder = the "bill" (If it was no mistake-price of course, otherwise they will just cancel you orders/update it).
Amazon just has the extra, that it will automatically charge the lowest price occurring in the time between your preorder and the shipping date (doubt it get lower than this though ^^ ).
You would have to do that yourself in other shops (cancel preorder, create new one etc.).

I doubt Amazon will honor it. I had my Aion Collector's Edition pre-ordered because they had it for around £22 and they ended sending an email saying how the price had been changed and if I still wanted it (now for £45ish) to make the order again.

Their price guarantee is pretty fucking excellent. They mismarked the 3000 Nintendo points pack with a £35 RRP down to £13. I ordered 4 @ £13 each and they sent every single one to me at that price. :lol

Oh and great spot on Gran Turismo 5. I've ordered 2 copies so I can either gift them or part exchange them. :)

Sweet, I'm working this Thursday night and Friday at Tesco's, will have to see if there's anything decent in (Sacred 2 maybe? OMG I hope so).

A bit late but.
Zavvi Mega Monday:
Overlord Wii - £7.95
Star Ocean -£14.95

I figure the prices should last a few more hours for those still around.

Tempted to pick Overlord Wii, on another hand I'm wondering how much more can the price drop :lol

They have 82 pages of promotions but there's no option to single out video games, so there might be more good stuff in there.
Click to expand...

Picked up Overlord Wii and Mushroom Men. As to your point, aren't these the bargain games? There's sections for the other systems to the left. It was under "Bargin Games" (sic) when I clicked on Wii games...

I was the same. Xmas 2008, Play had it going for £9.99 but it was out of stock when I made the order. Still wasn;t back in stock 6 months later. Ended up seeing it on ebay for a 'Buy it now' for £9.99, so bought that instead.

If you preorder something at zavvi, do they charge you the price the item had when you ordered or do they charge the actual price on release?
I ordered the Forza 3 Limited Edition for £39, and now it's up to £49 again.

Also, how fast do they ship new releases to other european countries?
I've only ordered 1 thing yet, and that took almost two weeks to arrive

I hope this is for real- would be a good way of finally picking up Infamous.

Grrr, ordered Street Fighter 4 PC and Dead Space PC yesterday from TheHut, but the status is now "Awaiting Stock Pick" with an estimated dispatch date of August 12. My new PC will probably be here end of the week or early next week and I won't have any games to try out on it!

On an unrelatred note, do all the sites mentioned need to sell first - hand, new games? If not, then CEX have really good prices on second hand games. Since the company is British, all prices are in pounds, so I'm not sure if it's gonna be a better deal for other GAFers.

But it's worth having a look at from time to time, especially for slightly less recent releases, as their prices often drop quite dramatically after a month or so.

Any good deals on a DS Lite battery? Or perhaps 3rd party DS Lite battery deals (for prolonged life... are they any good?) as my Jap release DS Lite is getting less and less play for each new charge :(

I still can't order from thehut. Every time I confirm my details I get a 500 error "page not found". Am I the only one? I'd really like to preorder Batman at that price...
