Hey Resetters! Be aware of Gamestop Germany! I ordered the Final Fantasy 12 Steelbook edition new and got this:

Support isn't answering my mail and I can't call them to talk about the return.
That they have guts to call this new and not even sending the Steelbook protector...

Well, that's Gamestop Germany. Must have been your first time buying from them.

Used the ebay code and got a Switch for £220 from Shopto.

Now need to find a screen protecter and sd card.

An actual Switch game too I guess...

Nah second time. First time everything was fine, it also was wrapped and all!
But now I know: even the online store sucks

My games were unsealed despite them saying they are new, so I just sent them back and opened a Paypal case for a refund. Also got it back. Few months later they sent the game again, still unsealed. I didn't care though as I had already got my money back for months at that point. If they ever want the game back, they are free to pick it up at my place...

The protector from Orzly is cheap, easy to apply, and does its job well.

Anybody had experience with the Samsung UE40MU6120 4k TV? Can get it for 280 with the eBay code and the reviews I'm seeing all seem positive.

I'd guess they are all pretty much the same. Using a cheap one from Aliexpress myself without problems.

Yeah these 2 are the ones that pop up, even on here. Is there a clear winner out the two? Will probably just get the cheaper one.

The Orzly one is a bit thinner and thus seems to have fewer issues with the dock (slides in better, no bubbles through heat in dock).

This card from Picstop is still a great deal (128GB for £29.99): http://www.picstop.co.uk/micro-sdxc...y-card-100mbs-class-10-for-android-128gb.html

A page or 2 back someone posted a discount code that brought it down to £26.99 but not sure if it was a Boxing Day only thing

Edit: Plus 1 for the amFilm screen protector. Use it myself and it's really good quality

Looking to use the eBay 20% off code on an official Xbox One controller for PC gaming for around £30 or below - any sellers that are recommended or to avoid?

Also I'm assuming you can just use any USB to micro USB cable and that will effectively make it a 'wired' controller, right?

Got to Argos to pick up my eBay order, and even though I watched the 20% discount take place on eBay itself, glanced at the receipt email and realised the discount hadn't gone through. Now I don't have the game and I'm considering seeing a doctor for neurological testing.

At least I picked up some bedsheets from Argos that we needed.

there probably will be but it'll most likely be Gamestop/GAME exclusive and double the price
I don't know, to be honest. The game in priced 40$ all around the world, except in Europe I believe. In italy in particular it's priced 45€, so maybe the version Europe will get will be the SE one by default, with steelbook and all the extras, since the price. But maybe I'm wrong and Gamestop will put a preorder up the next week with the real SE.

Anyone else buy through ShopTo on eBay during the deal? Still haven't shipped my 1X even though on the page it says same day dispatch before 2pm! I ordered bang on 12.

On the product page however it says estimated date January 5th. Not happy with that, how can they claim Jan 5th and same day dispatch? They're a professional company, it's pathetic. Not often I review companies but they are a joke, will be roasting them once it gets here.

I bought Elite Dangerous at about 5.45pm, had it dispatched yesterday and received it this morning. It sounds like you've been unlucky here for some reason.
