The Orange Box (XBox 360) - €32.40 [ShopTo.net]

Basq · 2008-01-28 18:00:22

Buy it here! Great price for, what a lot of people, is one of the best games of last year! Well worth the money at this price.. though shipping (according to the FAQ) will set you back a couple of more euro. EDIT: Total with shipping: If paid in sterling - €32.40 approx. If paid in euro - €36.98 approx.

Is there anywhere selling it at the same price for the pc? I've been wanting to get it but it would take an age to download on a 2meg connection.

Just went through to order it... only charging €29.99 for it but shipping is €6.99.

Works out at €36.98 - fantastic price all the same!

EDIT: Never mind.. paid in sterling was only charged £24.10 (or €32.40)

You're right. It doesnt say on their site but it is free to here alright.

I have bought from them a couple of times in the last few months.

Someone over on the HotUKDeals rang them and asked about this:

i called up shopto and asked about this and they stated "it's because it's the EU PAL version" but most of the games I order online arrive as EU PAL anyway.

So there's no problems but some shops don't accept EU PAL for trade ins but you can easily sell them on Ebay if you ever feel the need to get rid of it but I like having a large collection.

Meh.. still €70 in most stores so what do we care?!

This is on back order at play-asia.com for around €36 delivered for anyone who missed out.
Worth it for Portal alone, even if it is criminally short...

Holy crap.. this arrived this morning! :eek:

I've dealed with practically every online retailer there is (for CD's / DVD's anyways) and ShopTo.net were always the one who got questionable reviews on HotUKDeals forum but 3 days for delivery from the UK?! Brillant stuff!

Recommended!

PS - don't know what the not for resale was about. Hasn't got Bundle Copy across it.. but has got 'Not For Supply in UK' on small letters on the back.. what I care!
