    Referral link? I didn't put any referral link I just copied and pasted from the site

    Edit: I just remembered that found it on hduk so maybe whoever posted it had a referral link

    No worries Dunworth, you've been around here long enough that I thought a referral link from you was weird!


    I might just edit the "evidence" out of failsafes post though, evidence of innocence or not, it's still a referral link!

    I would have done likewise if it was possible :D
    Only Xbox One titles are region free meaning they can be bought and played in any region.

    I'm guessing Ascendia was the carrier on the amazon order?

    Pre-ordered FIFA 17, it was due to arrive on the 5th and its still not here.

    Amazon have given me a refund, their customer service is brilliant that way.

    Mentioned this before , Asendia are the reason I won't deal with amazon any more. No issues getting a refund and then the lottery of a 50/50 chance a free game will arrive in 6-8 weeks time.


    Anyway Battlefield is 56.99 in Argos.

    6 to 8 weeks? Bloody hell!

    I was thinking if it hadn't arrived next week I'd go out and buy it, been playing the EA Access trail up til now.

    I've never opted for paid delivery to be honest or parcel motel for games from them. Most times it negated any savings especially with argos' launch day pricing in recent times.

    Anything else I've ordered has never shipped with them though.

    I'm not kidding , happened twice after I'd had a refund and gone and bought the games in a store, one of the assassins creed games and I think Wolfenstein was the other. Both arrived after I'd played and finished the copies I'd bought, terrible service.

    Makes me wonder what happens to the ones that don't arrive? I mean going by the numbers on here who have issues , do they even get dispatched in the first place, or is there some kind of problem in their order system, or maybe they just don't like shipping to ROI and do nothing and let the customer look for refunds. One of lifes mysteries I guess :D

    Asendia have their uses though sometimes.

    A "friend" of mine ordered Fallout 4 from Amazon on pre-order last year, and it was even an edition with an art book and soundtrack. The order wasn't moving anywhere and Argos had a good deal on the game. He reserved Fallout in Argos, tried to cancel the Amazon order but couldn't. Went on chat and asked if it was possible to cancel. Was told it wouldn't but a problem even though it was in the process of being shipped by Asendia. He asked how would he return the game if it turned up but was assured it wouldn't and that it would be stopped before being shipped.

    Amazon order got refunded and he went off and bought it in Argos. About 2 weeks later and the Amazon order turned up even though his Amazon account showed it as cancelled and he was refunded. Cheeky bastard went off into Argos with his Argos receipt and Amazon copy and got a refund on it. :D

    Prices were almost identical so an almost free copy of Fallout 4 and a free book and CD.

    They haven't updated the listing for Battlefield 1 fully, no price on it yet. I'd say it'll be working soon
