    you need to get your strategy right, managed to get every offer i wanted this week after copping onto the various tricks. One stage had 2 laptops and a pc lined up with wife clicking away at same time. I posted a few days ago that wife's old laptop seems to load up the deals much quicker than all the newer machines so she has backet full before I even get to the clicking stage. Also have the screen at 50% and click like f**k, covering much bigger area.......

    PS3 Splinter Cell up at 4:15pm.

    Already £19.99. Show be a good price.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 704 ✭✭✭LukeS_


    Just ordered a 27" monitor I have no need/use for. Should be fun. :o

    Couldn't resist.

    It's a good day if you wanted a console that's not the next gen


    Xbox 360: 4GB w/3 games coming up at 17:15 on Amazon.co.uk

    Nintendo 3DS XL: Limited Edition White with Mario Kart + Super Mario 3D Land has been up already today will probably come up again. There is another 3DS XL coming around again at 18:15 on Amazon.co.uk but it comes with Super Mario 3D Land only, probably still a good enough deal.

    Playstation 3: No games, coming up at 20:00 on Amazon.de

    Wii U: Come and gone, probably coming back on Monday.

    2 games?

    It comes with Mario Kart in the package but also comes with a code for redeeming a copy of Super Mario 3D Land online which makes up the 2 games

    Mario 3D Land is free at the moment when you register a new 3DS and game. So if you got the Mario Kart bundle that came up earlier (and a few days ago also), in theory you can get Mario 3D Land for free.

    But the next upcoming bundle already has Mario 3D Land with it. So the Mario Kart bundle was the one to go for. Maybe it'll come up again.

    Ah yeah. I knew that. I was just hoping that maybe I'd missed another game. :D

    Thanks for that, I didn't notice it was a different bundle. I updated my post.

    Quick scan of reviews have it as a good one at about 80-90% review scores, so i went for it.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,584 ✭✭✭TouchingVirus


    Yes.

    Refuses to deliver to Ireland but will deliver to Northern Ireland for €9.65. The way Amazon.de do their shipping is madness

    With that technical commitment I think you should start mining bitconis ;)

    Mine's delivering to my door. Wut?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,584 ✭✭✭TouchingVirus


    Really? Yeah, I've tried two Irish (Dublin & Longford) and one NI address, refused all but the NI one :|


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,051 ✭✭✭jantheman91

    Yep! Has been dispatched and shipping only cost me 4.65!

    Bargain.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,449 ✭✭✭Ivefoundgod


    Amazon.de do seem a bit odd with delivery. I paid €20 for delivery on the TV I ordered but I've read here and elsewhere that they're not shipping Sony or Toshiba tvs to Ireland. Strange.

    Yeah, but it is stranger still that I can't get an item shipped to Ireland and somebody else has no problem

    Check my attachment.

    Says discontinued and abandoned but took payment and shipped. Wut?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,584 ✭✭✭TouchingVirus


    Check my attachment.

    Cheers, I'll assume you meant to screenshot your computer one, which comes in a bit more than €18 ;) Not to worry, I believe you - I'm just baffled at how you could order and I couldn't. It's grand now, I'm over it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,449 ✭✭✭Ivefoundgod

    Didn't realise that was happening. Thats madness!

    I've been on to support because the order is confusing. I've been forwarded on to english support and will receive an email from them.


    EDIT: What did you put for Postcode?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,273 ✭✭✭racso1975


    if anybody is holding out for the 3dss xl i see tesco.co.uk are doing it for 135 which is the same price amazon sold at last time

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,355 ✭✭✭cruhoortwunk


    Yeah, there should be a way to take the risk yourself. At least that way you can contact An Post/Revenue for refunds should an item have to be returned. They say they'll refund you 60 days after purchase if the money (or full amount) wasn't claimed by the courier company - like that's ever going to happen.

    Any items I try to order from the US site, it says 'item can't be shipped to that location', or something along those lines?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,607 ✭✭✭pah


    is the 3ds xl for €156 approx good value?

    Think somebody said the other day they are 250 in game


  • Registered Users Posts: 272 ✭✭ccazza


    The same 3DSXL is €230 in Smyths - I got the one earlier with Mario Kart which was better as you can download Super Mario 3D Land for free if you register the device between now and the beginning of January


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,748 ✭✭✭Do-more


    Was trying to get the Medion Desktop PC they must have had about 3 available, gone in a flash and waitlist full- :(

    Ive tried all the 40+ inch TVs and none will deliver to Ireland but a couple of the 32inch TVs will.. Dunno if thats the reason why its so flaky...


  • Registered Users Posts: 176 ✭✭dermiestv


    Amazon.de do seem a bit odd with delivery

    I've had Amazon.de ship to Ireland with no more issues than the UK version. Ordered a PVR sat receiver from .de and delivery is €8.95


  • Registered Users Posts: 77 ✭✭Button_y


    I'm wondering if someone can help me here, I bought a lightning deal on amazon -a pair of boots for 31.50 but when I got the receipt it was full price. Is this normal?

    The confirmation email should say the normal price up to the subtotal and then 'promotion applied' further down. So the order total should be the reduced price.

    I'm having a similar problem. I asked them to group my orders and then they created the price problem. On chat right now. I know it will get sorted by they seem to make mountains out of molehills.

    Pretty sure if you contact them and explain what happened they'll sort something out for you. These problems happen often, and in almost all cases is due to a system glitch.

    Give it ago and see if they honour the Lightning deal price. What's the worst that can happen? They say no.

    Same thing happened to me yesterday when buying battlefield 4. It went to my basket at full price. I cancelled it right away and got it at reduced price upon next attempt. I bet some people have been caught out by this.
