Told myself I wouldn't buy some of those games locking out different languages to prevent imports (Uncharted 2, NFS Shift) but at those prices, goodbye spanish, hello english.
Maybe they will get the message that I'm not going to pay 69,95 for each game just because they locked spanish in the uk import at 23,49.

I'm quite sad about the DJ Hero thing. I was looking forward to that. Oh well; with any luck it'll hit the £40-£50 mark here around Christmas and I can still bite.

My DJ Hero order was shipped yesterday for the low price of 30,97 . But I have heard from people who ordered even before me that their order was canceled. Seems like Amazon likes more

It was the same last year though. Loads of titles dropped back then around this time too.
I think this years big drops are better though, as the games are more interesting. Far Cry 2, Prince of Persia were the only really big ones last year.

Does that mean it can be played from Steam as well (ie. no retail disc required) ?
Keyser Soze said:
I wasn't expecting this kind of deal for this game until next year, but I'm still not sure it's worth it. Also, I've never ordered from TheHut before, so are they reliable (outside UK)?

Anybody that doesn't buy Uncharted 2 at that price should be shot.

Not me, hope you get your game soon though. I personally only shop in a few stores like zavvi, shopto, tesco, play, amazon and maybe thehut if I see something worth signing up for.Melhisedek said:
Speaking of Tesco Entertainment, Crysis Maximum Edition - £11.97 (no stock for 4-5 days but worth the wait, next lowest price is £15 elsewhere.
Also for those who like to wait for stock: (Tesco DIRECT) 64mb 360 memory card - £4, imo this is good if you take your profile around with you a lot.

Just had it too, shit! now to cancel my £12 Crysis Max edition and reorder it £2 cheaper :lolwhatevermort said:
Also HA HA at the 8 buyer scalper.
sorry for my ignorance, but i have to ask this question.
when is the best time to buy game cheaper than usual now that holiday season had started? is it boxing day?
i am a cheap student from UK so would love to buy PSP and DS games cheaper than they are now. I buy online but if there is good deal in shop, i will bite.
the thing is, i remember searching through amazon last year and couldn't find cheap games that i wanted hence me asking this question.
cheers.

Games get cheap randomly nowadays, although it seems most online outlets want to get orders in before Xmas, so keep an eye out right now if you are looking for something.
Deals can have very short lifespans as well, with some sites only listing stuff cheaply for a few hours (like Tekken 6 and Uncharted 2 recently), so check often. Also, don't limit yourself to one store like Amazon. Make sure you shop about.
Also, use a site like Gamestracker to find the current cheapest price, although be aware they update randomly, and as a result, can miss out on some deals.

Thanks for the Zavvi tips, finally get to play Borderlands!
Fallout 3 GOTY is tempting as well.

The Austrian branch of catalogue company Quelle has gone into bankruptcy, so there's a great sale right now:
Playstation 3 for 209,99 (90 cheaper than normal)
DS for 125 (-30%)
Please note that they only ship to Austria and the items are very hard to get right now (www.quelle.at )

what about boxing day or any day post Xmas? do games actually became cheaper?Keyser Soze said:
for me its mostly Handheld games. I don't own (at the moment at least) any console (Wii, 360, Ps3) so trying to find those games cheaper than usual is harder than their console brethren since those games are usually known for stuffing the channel.
but yeah, i'll try to shop around, and not from amazon.
thank you, mate.

Yeah - Tesco screwed me too.
Not even a voucher AND I got an order confirmation...At least they have LOTS of magazine racks to tip over...

Ordered 5 or 6 separate CDs from them about a year ago - took a while but great prices

I said it last time and i'll say it again - waiting for under £5 because it will get there. :lol

If you have a DS and don't pay that price. Shame on you people!
Not being able to create my own thread, I was wondering if people who could think it would be a good idea to create a buy/trade/sell thread(like the US version) for Europeans. Sorry for posting this request in this thread, but considering the type of people who view this website I thought it was appropriate.
