Glad to see this thread back.
When did Amazon start to send new releases by Royal Mail in the UK? Their tracking is useless - it is apparently 'on the way to your local delivery office' at 5:39 am, which sounds very like it won't be here today :(
I'm super pessimistic
Yeah, not sure why they'd use a 2-3 day service and post it 2 days before release when it really needs to be a guaranteed delivery date.I pre-ordered Lost Legacy & Yakuza Kiwami with them. The former came by courier whilst the latter was delivered by Royal Mail.
Not sure who they normally use, as this was the first time I had ever used them for preorders.
Amazon Prime Now has AC: Origins for £46. Doesn't sound great, I hear you say, but what about a FREE 4 PACK OF MONSTER ENERGY WITH THE PURCHASE?!
Dang, that sucks, sorry to hear it. Maybe trade up? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0753H9DY5/?tag=e100-21My 3DS just broke on its hinge, which means even with some duct tape DIY repairs its awkward to use and sleep modes not gonna work.
What are peoples thoughts on a replacement? Is it likely I'm gonna see some stock clearances before christmas of older models? If I'm getting a replacement I'd sort of prefer a "new" line version, but more than £100 with no game for the New 2DS line doen't seem worth it

This will hold value much better too.
Benchmark your PCs, chaps: Crysis Maximum Edition (Crysis and Crysis Warhead) is £3.74 on Steam right now.

I was right to be pessimistic. I've been sat on my arse all day and then I get an email at 6-ish saying there has been a delay and it will be 'a day or two late'. No shit, Sherlock. If you're using a 2-3 day service try sending it 3 days in advance!Glad to see this thread back.

Sad to hear. :/ When did they ship it out? They shipped my copy on Wednesday and it arrived today for me, fortunately.I was right to be pessimistic.

Utter rubbish.
I rang customer services, bought the digital version and requested a refund for the difference in cost.
Feel extra stupid because I could have been playing it since last night instead. Lesson learned I guess.
It does seem that orders arrive - eventually - they're just very, very slow, despite claiming that they aim for release day delivery.I had my ACO shipped out yesterday, but I didn't get any notification at all about my Destiny 2 PC pre-order earlier this week.
I complained on release day, Tuesday, and they said that they shipped it out on Monday. Considering I haven't received it yet (unless it arrives today), I'm thinking that was a big fat lie.
Utterly useless company. After the pre-orders I've got with them are done, I'm not dealing with them again.
Edit: My Destiny 2 copy did actually turn up, so I'm slightly less annoyed.
However, considering Mario Odyssey came out, I dunno if I'm gunna find the time to play it much.
Unless you paid for the better shipping, I doubt you'd get it tomorrow. :P As I said, they claimed my copy of Destiny 2 shipped on Monday and it didn't arrive till today (Friday).It does seem that orders arrive -eventually - they're just very, very slow, despite claiming that they aim for release day delivery.
I contacted their customer services myself today, having still had no shipping notification, and they';'re clearly getting a lot of questions about this as they had an initial auto-response that orders were shipped yesterday. Apparently "Our website has some issues with emails at the moment. We are fixing it." and, as for potential delivery tomorrow, all that they could say was " hopefully yes."... which doesn't fill me with confidence. Still, I know that it'll be worth the wait!
Indeed, I certainly don't expect to receive any of my orders tomorrow - it's a good job that I've still got Shadow of War still on the go, I suppose! 3-4 working days late seem to be typical from my recent orders with them. All of my recent orders (not just this week's releases) still don't reflect the shipped status on their website, though I did at least get a dispatch notification for those.Unless you paid for the better shipping, I doubt you'd get it tomorrow. :P As I said, they claimed my copy of Destiny 2 shipped on Monday and it didn't arrive till today (Friday).
That response is so bogus though, it doesn't even update in your orders to say it's been shipped. That ain't an email issue, that's a failing to update the order status issue.
Just in case you still wanted to know, I just tried Elex, and can confirm it's not forcing you to use Twitch (not sure about other games). I just went to the folder where it installed to, found the exe, and launched the game using that. You can also use this method to add to Steam.
The shortcut it automatically adds to the start menu does seem to launch the game through the twitch launcher though, so be careful with that.
What did you use to contact them?Fuck Gameseek.
Sent a message to their useless support team, asking them to cancel my Wolfenstein order. Of course, they ignore it and dispatch it anyway.
Thankfully, I know somebody who is willing to buy it off me, saving me the trouble of sending it back.
What did you use to contact them?
The contact form flat out doesn't work on the site (lol). Only way to contact them is via online chat.
Oh that's what I meant by not working. I tried using it back during the Marvel vs Capcom Infinite debacle, and while the message sent, I never got a response. Had to use online chat.I used the contact form. The message went through, but I guess there is nobody who reads them.
I'm not wasting my time with online chat now. I'll sell my copy and then never visit their site again.
With Black Friday/cyber Monday right around the corner, it will definitely get cheaper. Instore and digitally.I want those cheap Yakuza 0 Amazon prices again :(
Still to play this masterpiece.

And yeah, you owe it to yourself. Amazing game.
Same day as yours, but I guess I got unlucky. I still don't think they should be using a 2-3 day service and posting it 2 days before it is due, though.Sad to hear. :/ When did they ship it out? They shipped my copy on Wednesday and it arrived today for me, fortunately.
But yeah, most of my pre-orders are delivered by Royal Mail from Amazon. They usually only use Logistics if it's a big parcel, or if I've bought it the day before and selected next day shipping. They used to be pretty terrible for release day delivery a few years back, where they'd ship via royal mail on the Thursday and it didn't arrive till Sat. Luckily, they've improved since then, at least in my area.

Any deals on Switch atm? Got the first pay from my new job yesterday and looking to treat myself to a Neon and Merrio.

Asking again:
Otherwise, does anyone know if Dixons Travels still carry consoles? Flying to Newcastle during the week, so wondering what the likelihood of buying a Switch at the airport is.

Last time (couple of weeks ago flying from Newcastle) I looked out for the same thing and definitely wasn't in store. You'd have to check the website/call them but wouldn't expect it.
Heathrow didn't have any gaming stuff at all in August. I was looking for a Switch myself.
I ended up getting one for £236 thanks to combining Amazon vouchers. That's your best for trying to get a good price imo.
Cool, I love this site, best thing to happen along with the region free Switch.Also the eShop.calhyre dude has updated his site to the much easier to remember eShop-prices.com:

Thanks, guys.
Yeah, I'm thinking Amazon or Tesco will be my best bet. Hopefully one of them offers the £25 off £150+ they both had on last month again soon.
Shopto haves the snes mini for £79.99.

I know it was classed as a dodgy website at gaf, but new beginnings eh?
Edit- sold out as I posted.
Yeah, wouldn't trust VGP with a card number.Shopto is fine. They have a shitty website, but they've done more to fix their security issues than VGP ever has. Pretty sure that site still regularly leaks CC numbers
How cheap did it get?I want those cheap Yakuza 0 Amazon prices again :(

Oh man oh man oh man, I was better off not knowing. Crazy price, kicking myself for missing it.
They also had Nier Automata for £12 recentlyOh man oh man oh man, I was better off not knowing. Crazy price, kicking myself for missing it.
