ZombiU showing at £23 on amazon at the moment

Also, according to HUKD you can pre-order Injustice for about £40 and get a free Arkham City (which is worth £15—19 on its own, here they're effectively giving it to you for a tenner vs other offers)

ZombiU showing at £23 on amazon at the moment

Had a look there, still at £23 but says "Usually dispatched within 1 to 4 weeks." which is not so great

Banjo · 08-04-2013 09:12AM

...then you should have looked on Friday when I said it

Fifa 13 and Mass Effect were in the Zavvi Super Monday MegaDeal Bonanza Prices reduced-by-up-to-5p thing they do every week when I checked it last night, but surprisingly they were at a decent price, both at around £23 with a 10% off code to bring them down to £21 if anyone's interested. All the launch shovelware was in there too in case you're a completist. Rabbids down to 12 or 13 I think but metacritic reviews suggest it's not worth that kind of money. The prices on the headsets looked like they hadn't been discounted at all through.

Doesnt always mean that much. They could have stock sitting in Ireland ready to go...has happened to me several times.

The Cave was one of this months free games on PS+, had planned on getting it for the Wii U but not anymore

Banjo · 12-04-2013 09:20AM

Picked up Trine 2, missed it by minutes last time it was on sale. There have been a few sales recently, suggests that maybe Nintendo are starting to realise that adding 20% to bricks and mortar retail prices is not really going to take a big bite out of any market and certainly isn't much of an incentive for people to break out of the buy-trade in-buy cycle, so I'll hold out for the Cave to drop further I think

deadl0ck · 12-04-2013 01:39PM

Bought Trine 2 and Toki Tori 2

Nollog · 19-04-2013 03:17AM

Kirby's Adventure (NES VC Game) is 30 cent on the eShop.

Banjo · 25-04-2013 11:07PM

Fifa 13 is down to £26 on amazon, and is currently in stock. Not the cheapest its been but it's Amazon : at least you know it will be delivered during your own lifetime.

Do you need parcel motel for this or do they ship to ireland?

CastorTroy · 02-05-2013 06:08PM

I used Parcel Motel when I got my Wii U from them. They keep restocking so they should be getting more premiums in and maybe bundles once the restock games. I know I was waiting for new copies of Mario before I ordered

nitromaster · 02-05-2013 06:16PM

wow that's a good deal!

CastorTroy · 02-05-2013 06:16PM

And Amazon price matching on the basic

I wish they would price match the premium one!

Looks like MH3 Bundle went sky high in price too :mad:. I was keeping an eye on that bundle and its price drop. Not going to happen..

To be honest with you at that price I'd probably just get the basic (unless you absolutely hate white). The only real difference is the premium has 32GB of storage while the basic has 8gb. You'll probably need an external hard drive either way. If you really want Nintendo Land, it's less than £27 on Amazon, which is the other difference.

I'm gonna be at asda tomorrow. So ****ing tempted.

Think online only. I was in Asda before I bought mine, with the intention of getting it, but it was its normal price. But you never know.

Was in Asda a couple weeks ago and saw Assassin's Creed 3 there for £15. Was in a rush so didn;t get it. May get it tomorrow if still the same price. Or maybe wait for a complete version with the Washington episodes included.

Tank! Tank! Tank! Is currently free to download. It doesn't say it on the home page of the eshop, but when you click it, it's free. I've just kicked off my download. Fingers crossed that it's not a mistake!

It's always free, same with the pinball game. Tx3 gives you limited plays and modes which you can pay to expand on. The pinball one gives you no tables, with demos and paid full tables as dlc

Nollog · 05-05-2013 11:42PM

It launched at a price on disc, and went free to play months ago here.
It went free to play last week in America so people will probably just hear about it now, which is kinda funny.

Also its local multiplayer only, a crying shame as this had the potential to be huge fun otherwise

Banjo · 06-05-2013 11:36AM

I'm sure anyone who's going to pick it up has done so by now but Darksiders II is now under a (n english) tenner on Zavvi as part of their Mega Monday deal:
http://www.zavvi.com/games-wii-u/darksiders-ii-death-lives-wii-u/10481347.html
...which is pretty insulting given it's a pretty good game.

Is it free shipping to Ireland with Zavvi?

Star Lord · 06-05-2013 02:35PM

It is yeah, got it from there myself when it was 18, great game, even if I have been getting the ragequits recently :pac:

iceferg · 07-05-2013 08:27PM

I see that the Wii u pro controller is down to £26 on amazon . not as cheap as the guys that got it for €22.99 in currys but still better than gamestop/smyths.

Did you add the 0 on at the end by mistake?
