Cex have wii fit boards for €4.

I know, thanks. It's mad how cheap they sell them for now. I remember selling my board and Wii Fit for €50. That was a few years ago admittedly.

Amazon have Codename Steam for around £11. There was also Wonderful 101 for £17 or £18 which would get you into SuperSaver territory.
Oh, and the Complete Count Duckula has dropped below a tenner again

Nice one, been waiting for that to drop in price. Already have Wonderful 101, so added a Darth Vader Lego alarm clock to get free shipping.

Starting Christmas buying early this year!

So I just got an email from the polish site selling the 'fatal frame 5/project zero 5' game which a few of us on here bought at the price of €55. The email said they are changing the price because it's a box set (like Bayonetta or Lego city) but also the limited/only edition and it will be an extra 40,99pln (€9.50).

Anyone else get this email? Should I pay or cancel?

Here's what the email said

'Dear Customer,

We would like to inform you that Project Zero Maiden in Black Water base price was raised from 199,9 PLN to 239,9 PLN. It's because few conditions. First of all, it's not regular edition - it's premium pack which contains steelbook, artbook, postcards and poster. Second - shippment is strictly limited, so we get much less copies then we thought. If you would like to pay this missing amount please contact me via email.

Best regards

Tomasz Skrzypkowski'

Edit: still can't find it anywhere else so I think I'm gonna have to pay the extra 10. Ugh

I haven't checked my email, but if it's only an extra €9.50 for that edition, I'm going to go for it.
I was hoping it would be the box set, and thought €55 delivered may be a bit cheap.

We could try and barter with them, But I remember Amazon had mispriced bayonetta box set and some people got it, others didn't.

€68 here anyway - https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Wii-U/Project-Zero-Maiden-of-Black-Water-1030005.html

EDIT

Is there a trial version available to play? :eek:

Allyall

Replied to the email, and told them that I would pay the extra amount. Will post when I get a reply.

Was that from here?

It's been out of stock for some time on the Nintendo website. They don't deliver to Ireland and using Parcel Motel is a lottery, don't think it would work. They're not doing a good job of making it easily available. It's ridiculous that the only place we can order it is on a Polish website. Seriously, WTF!

Game have it as well £49.99

At today's exchange rate, that is just under €69.

Allyall

They replied to my email

Hello ***Allyall***,

Thank you for your quick reply. It's very simple, please transfer 40 PLN to this account:

And let us know when you do so. I'll make a note, so game will be send to you without any further problems.

Kind regards

Uh-Oh...

I remember having difficulty trying to do something similar with a German company before. Hopefully this is straight forward.

It's actually a bit more. You forgot postage. :eek: There's an extra £3 to add. GAME are scum. God help anyone if you ever have a problem with them. I had to wait 45 days for a refund from them before.

Will the likes of Argos/Smyths etc be retailing Fatal Frame here in Ireland? And is the special edition the only version of it coming out?

Allyall

I don't know about Argos/Smyths, but

In Europe and Australia, the game will be exclusively available as a limited edition version at retail, as well as a digital trial version on the Nintendo eShop. While the retail version contains the complete game from the start, the digital trial version is being offered in a free-to-start like manner, in which players can experience the game's prologue and first two chapters for free, after which they are given the choice whether or not to pay for unlocking the remaining ones.[19][20] In North America, only the digital trial version will be available on the Nintendo eShop, omitting a retail release.[21]

Must ask in Smyths on Friday, though they'll probably just go by what's on their site.

I've had limited experience with Game but they went out of their way to help me with the Bayonetta 2 First Print LE. I had an expired card on account which meant the order didn't go through and someone actually rang me and took new card details over the phone and got the game dispatched.

That sounds like they went out of their way to get their hands on your money. Once they have it, it's a different story. GAME have a notoriously bad reputation for a reason.

Super Mario Maker (Wii U) - PREORDER is £30.91 including delivery when you use the code PAYDAY15. Which is roughly €42. That's the best price I've seen it for. I'm tempted but I kind of wanted the amiibo bundle but am not willing to pay €70 for it.

Mr E

I want to play it the day it comes out (not weeks later). How quick are Rakuten for delivery these days? Haven't bought anything since the play.com days.

Probably the correct price, but it just seems crazy high because I'm so used to seeing it hovering around €250

I talked about that when it first went up. Outrageously priced. It's as if Nintendo think they're the market leader this generation. They should be considering a price cut, not raising the price. The console's dead so maybe it doesn't matter what they do.

It's thegamecollection.net. Rakuten are an umbrella company I think that a lot of companies operate under. They're fairly quick with delivery. It usually takes a few days. Sometimes they ship on the release date, sometimes a few days before release. It depends how quickly they receive the stock from Nintendo. The gamecollection I'd highly recommend, never had a problem with them.

There's undoubtedly some truth in that but that particular game was sold out everywhere and would have been easy to sell to another customer. Anyway, I only bought from them because it was the only option.

Im still hoping smyths will drop the amiibo bundle price before launch day, i think they did with the yoshi WW bundle.

Its on amazon spain for 61.30 delivered seems a little more reasonable and i dont mind waiting for it. Smyths will probably drop theirs to around 60 tho. so hmmm..

CastorTroy

Or maybe on release day, argos could sell at a cheaper price and just don't collect the Smyths preorder
