Base are the same company as 101cd, DVD.co.uk, and BlahDVD. I never had any problem with them. Got stuff within a week, and within a few days (Xmas last year). That was shipping to Ireland, so shipping to a UK address should be even quicker.
I think the worst that can happen is the delivery might be a bit slow, but they are not going to rip you off. They are a reputable company.

Yeah but the Playstation 3 PS3 Wireless Headset for 23 euro is not bad at all, because the MSRP here is 50+ euro'sKeyser Soze said:

It probably does, I've not seen a single copy so far that doesn't have the soundtrack included. The irony is that I bought a spare copy for £40 during that price spike when it went out of stock everywhere.Keyser Soze said:

Probably already posted, but combined with the Zavvi 4200 points trick, you get yourself a handy 5000 points for around £25. JIZZ.
I have never bought a game from XBLA before - any recommendations?
I'm already thinking of Rez HD, the first Banjo and Perfect Dark remakes, and Limbo.

Weird one:
Choices have the Call of Duty: Black Ops - Hardened (Collectors) Edition on sale, but have the Prestige Edition photo attached.. they are selling for £49.99
Even if it is just the Hardened Edition, then it still seems to be the cheapest available online. If it is the Prestige Edition you get this weirdness.

I'm getting that vanquish itch but I don't know if I should grab black ops or preorder gears 3, both games to me are fun but have problems such as I had a good time in mw2 multi with my friends and cousins when they bought the game over, and gears online still has a chance of sucking.
Oh the pain I go through to save £5 :lol

Same here, it applies but does nothing.
Also, is the pric3 restricted to some games? Doesn't seem to work with GT5 or COD, at least today.

I REALLY hope so too. I actually ordered another copy locally because I wanted it soon, but the post office fucked up and gave it to my neighbour who stole it (says he doesn't have it), so I'm depending on zavvi to get it to me soon...BeeDog said:

You've got your own Amazon.fr
BTW The free delivery option is now indeed available. I now see:
FREE Super Saver Delivery (3-7 business days)
Standard (2-3 business days)
Priority Express (1-2 business days)
I only hope this is really 3-7 business days, and not super slow delivery like Play.com/Zavvi.com currently have. (Still waiting for a game from Zavvi that was shipped on Sep 22)

Not for anyone who has a local Amazon I believe. No Germany, Switzerland or Austria either.Aru said:Great news, but not for France ?

Seems like it for both codes, I had trouble using pric3 on the hut but it worked in the end for two lots of mspoints, a dvd for my grandad and a dvd of thomas the tank engine for my nephew :lolDash Kappei said:
If only I had the money yesterday I would have gone with the quidco60 code and 10% on some mspoints, crackdown 2 and something else.

There is always Zavvi but you have to wait a lot longer for your games to arrive though.YianGaruga said:

I though Enslaved/Castlevania dropped with the recent bump :/
Great news with Amazon though. Same thing happened for Ireland last year, which was great. I've bought so many weird things trying to get a £22 order up to £25, but it is worth it, as the order would be over more due to P&P without the extra item.

Wow awesome news, from what I heard amazon.co.uk seems to be way faster than slow as fuck Zavvi, The Hut, Game and so on. I've never ordered anything from them because of their insane delivery rates to Europe but now things are definitely gonna change
Plus if I remember correctly they have a sweet price matching policy, haven't they?
Oh well, so is it already live? I'm buying RDR then, I've procrastinated far too long, let'see if I get it before my Castlevania order arrives, which was dispatched by The Hut almost a week ago now:/
fake edit: why does the price change from £27,99 to £28,59 when in the checkout page?*-*

Playstation Move: Starter Pack (Includes Move Controller, Eye Camera + Demo Disc) - £35.04 @ TheHut (use Walkers Code)
They dropped the base price to £38.93 (from £42+), so with the Walkers code you get the best price yet

WOW on the Amazon news. Makes prices about half as expensive as here in the Netherlands. Do you think they're gonna increase the base price of products now with free shipping?
A new game generally costs 35 pounds there, which is around 40 euro's. The RRP here is 65 euro's per game. In the UK prices decrease fast too, 18 pounds after a few weeks usually. When it's still 65 euro's locally it makes the gap even bigger.
I am wondering if it's gonna destroy local retail, since it's even easy for consumers to buy in the UK and resell new for twice the price in the Netherlands

They are in Amazons world so much that they got their own store which Amazon.co.uk does not want to alienate.Flek said:

I can't believe it even took this long for that to happen. We're allready buying uk ("international" hu hur hur) versions anyway, so I didn't get why I should have it local and expensive anyway.
At least Amazon.co.uk delivers to Germany, France etc!
It does suck, but it could be worse, like the bullshit Apple is doing.
@ Local Retailer
I think it has got really tough for them. I sometimes buy in a very small
store with interior from the 80's or even earlier but they still have awesome
prices. I get the game one day early (or even more) and usaually don't pay more than
55 (PS3). AC2 cost me 49, two days before release!
On the long term, they will extinct.

Depends on the game, but Zavvi, The Hut, Amazon, Game, Play, and Shopto are generally good.MattyH said:
Great news on Amazon! Their shipping made it impossible to buy there (except if I joined in with friends for a super order). And their Move Starter pack is 3£ cheaper than Zavvi - 48 is not a bad deal...
Fake EDIT: Move is 42£ in the store but on checkout they show as £43.24. Still cheap, but are the adding a charge on Free Delivery? Isn't that fake advertisement?
