Bought a copy for myself. It wasn't needed but it was cheap.

Is it a download code?

Has Been Heroes on Gamestop US - digital download for $9.99

I've seen this mentioned on Reddit today.

You'll need a US address on PayPal (or to actually have a US credit card).

I already have a separate US account set up on my Switch as well, so I added the download code using that account.

Fantastic!
Just bought it.
Turns out there's a US address registered to my PayPal account, must have done something like this before!
So, a full launch title for the Switch, for less than ten euro, can't go wrong really!

If you don't have a US address set up on PayPal don't spend hours trying to set one up, it quite sensibly only lets you set up addresses in you registered country. However when you try to buy via PayPal from the US GameStop sure it forces you to set one up so it works out ok.

Don't think tax gets applied to digital purchases but doesn't​ hurt to put your address in a state with no vat. And it's kind of cool having a delivery address that's the main Street of the town from 30 days of night...

My Code hasn't been mailed to me yet, so maybe activate it ASAP while you have the code showing in your browser.
Edit : My mistake, they mailed it immediately, I was looking at the wrong mailbox. D'oh!

It arrived immediately with my receipt, to my email.
This looks like a handy way to bypass the existing lock on EU credit cards.

Bro-in-law's birthday is coming and I found a nes mini that has been hacked the seller says it can be restored to factory settings - is this easy to do or should I stay well away from it?

By hacked I'm guessing it's been loaded with more roms than the default?

Better off leaving it as is as the extra games are a nice bonus.

Sadly, Has Been Heroes is a bit of a Has Been Game...
Still, at least I only wasted the price of a lunch on it.

I started it up, got a bit bored and went back to Isaac again. I'm intrigued by future Gamestop US options though.

I wont risk it for priority games, where I'll stick to my main account or physical copy. But it would be handy for some of the smaller titles, Puyo Puyo Tetris, Street Fighter type stuff.

A significant discount in the US on PuyoPuyo and I'm on it like a car bonnet.

Hey, I realise this is a popular problem at the moment, but I can't find a Switch anywhere in the entire country.

Argos and Smyths say mid July, GameStop won't give me a date, Littlewoods and Amazon are the end of July.
Harvey Norman and Tesco only stock Xbox/PS, CEX are asking for €400 for the console.

Am I missing anywhere to check? I'm trying to think of anywhere else that might stock games/consoles, or does anyone know of anywhere at all that may have them in stock?

Nintendo Store are the closest, saying 'late June' but they only deliver to the U.K which means using Parcel Motel, no biggie. Has anyone ordered direct from Nintendo?

Cheers.

Hi - I ordered direct from nintendo for both the switch and streetfighter 2 and used parcel motel both times - no problems whatsoever

Cheers for that. Did it take long to deliver? Might end up just ordering from them direct if they're fast, plus the price works out slightly cheaper I think!

MilesMorales1

Did they get any June stock in?

johnf26

Gamestop have the splatoon bundle for pre order out 21st of next month if that helps

Probably worth checking this every so often, might get lucky

Nintendo have an E3 sale on WiiU/3DS titles:
https://www.nintendo.co.uk/News/2017/June/Nintendo-eShop-sale-E3-Sale-1234817.html

Xenoblade Chronicles and the Mario Galaxy games are a tenner each, think I'll grab Xenoblade off that!

Sign in to quidco.
Go to page I listed before.
Click link which brings you to Nintendo.
Buy something (don't close your browser or use different browser from the one you used to go to quidco)
You should get a notification later via email from Quidco that your cashback has tracked.

I've earned £100 over the past two years.

Amazon have the Switch Pro Controller for ?59.99 - around €69. Not a massive deal, but slightly cheaper than it's been for a while and a consolation if you blinked and missed the Link Rider amiibo for rrp

Yep ordered the switch from Nintendo a few days ago for late June delivery, used parcel wizard. Will realistically be early July when I get it I'd say. Now to find out where I can pick BOTW and Mario Kart cheapest
