I want to get the Fantasy Life DLC, but I don't like using my credit card and I'm too lazy to walk to tescos and get some eshop credit.
Has anyone used:
http://www.eshopcodes.co.uk/
Are they legit? Or if anyone has used a similar service that deals in eshop £, that'd be cool too

Never used them, but I have used these guys AND they're cheaper. Like them on Facebook for another 5% off.

Where is cheapest for a Wii U Pro Control nowadays? Thinking of picking one up for Hyrule Warriors.

I suspect a Japanese import from Nippon Yasan is still the answer though it is 500 Yen more expensive than it has been in the past.

I found years ago with play-asia when ordering items where each item was below the customs limit, do separate orders as there is no shipping saving to be had (this was before free shipping) and getting stung is not fun.Got stung for £16 from Royal Mail from ordering a bunch of games off Play-Asia. Thought I'd use that $5 coupon I had for a small saving and it backfired badly
No worries. My routine for buying a download Nintendo game now is check game.co.uk as they're usually cheaper than eShop and if not, buy credit from them.

You can actually ask play-Asia to send your order in small packages and write down a smaller value. I hate it when they tax me. They actually charge up to 25 percent
oh they actually do that?

They don't. They charge the normal VAT rate in your country. And then your mail handler charges you a fixed fee for declaring your package for you to customs.
Which in total could mount up to 25% or more. But it's not all taxes.

This is another thing for the OP I guess since it comes up so often.
"When ordering from Play-Asia, make sure you've emailed to ask them to mark your packages down in value."
Dualshock 4 controllers are £35 in store at Tesco (Blue / Red / Black)

Yeah you are right but what I really dislike that they add tax on the total amount and not just on the product. This means they put vat even on the shipping fee which makes no sense in my eyes.
And of course the randomised taxing of your packages which seems like a raffle to me. If you are lucky you don't get taxed, if not your get fucked over.

My best guess is this is to prevent tax loopholes. E.g. you could sell a product which would normally cost €50 + €5 shipping, for €5 and charge €50 for shipping and packaging in stead, thus avoiding taxes.
Without making any judgments: it's only a raffle because you're skirting the law.
Getting caught speeding is also a raffle, so to speak.Visualante2

PC version is £24 on Green Man Gaming using the code SEPTEM-BEROFF-ER25XX, seems like it's an e.mail code just like on GAME. Also nets you some credit with GMG for your next purchase.Today only £5 off Alien Isolation Ripley Edition with the code EGX5
I had this on order but have just canceled & re ordered with the code i also pre-ordered the DLC with 20% off so the DLC is £15 in all.

I don't understand why people would pre-order that game after what happened last time. It's no wonder publishers treat us like idiots when we behave like idiots.

But but... they have told us this game is going to be completely as promised! For real! ;-)
Also, I'm confused...is that really you? (j/k)

Looking to buy an xbox one, is the cheapest play still the supermarkets (Sainsbury's/Tesco)
£349.00 with Kinect and Destiny at Amazon.co.uk
(More buying choices on the right. "Usually dispatched within 1 to 3 weeks.")

"last time"
you mean with a completely different game from a completely different developer that people didn't get extensive hands-on time with? I fail to see the logic in assuming there'll be another potential trainwreck just because the word "ALIEN" is on the box.

What's the best deal for XB1 Forza Horizon 2? The cheapest price I can find is £39 at SimplyGames but taking into account free cars/DLC some retailers are offering are there any better deals out there?
There are 2 ways this could end:
a) it's the best alien game ever with proper stealth, wonderfully well crafted AI, insane replay value and hardcore difficulty, but because of that it will bomb
b) there is something seriously wrong with it and people who preordered it will get fucked over
I don't know why, but I think it will be the latter.
Also, I'm confused...is that really you? (j/k)
Click on the links. I actually agree with them. When there are lots of people, who happily pay quite a bit of money for peer-to-peer multiplayer with ads (and "free" games of course lol), then why shouldn't a company charge it? I mean yeah it's not fine from a customer point of view, but if noone would pay for it, then companies simply wouldn't do it in the first place.
(*) that brought us Sonic Classic Collection for Nintendo DS
The game will only work in case the AI is really really really well done. And I just have a problem believing that. Yeah, there is a chance that someone could pull this off, but I have my doubts.
EDIT: Tales Of Xillia (PS3) - 17pounds @ zavvi
Smash Bros Wii U - £36.95 Pre-order at TGC.
Not the cheapest price I know but it's the cheapest I've seen Smash U so far for pre-order.

Wowhd of course being a huge gamble where you might get hit with import taxes/late delivery because they've sent your item from god knows where. I think I'd rather pay a little more for TGC

Free shipping to the UK... I'm solely tempted, but really don't need to add it to my backlog right now, and hopefully it'll get at least a little cheaper in time.

I'm not saying it will definitely be terrible or anything. If it gets 10/10 everywhere and I haven't pre-ordered, what is the ABSOLUTE WORST CASE scenario? I have to walk to a shop and I don't get the game until one day later than I would have if I'd pre-ordered it. The horror!
I don't see why people shouldn't be erring on the side of caution with this particular game, is all. After the shitfest that was the last game, they do not deserve your pre-order, and pre-ordering just sends the message that they can do what the fuck they want because you'll happily bend over next time round as well.

if one wants to see for themselves regardless of what reviewers think and feels confident after all the actual hands-on preview impressions and can get a better deal by pre-ordering, what's the harm then?

As I say, businesses should have to earn your business. If I bought something online and it went missing and the customer service was crap or something and so I lost my money, I wouldn't shop there any more. You're telling Sega they can do whatever they want because you'll be right back next year begging for more of the same.
I don't know if you worked on this game or something but you obviously feel the need to defend it. Just remember that this isn't really about Alien, it's about any time you get treated like an idiot by some company or other. You don't just go back as if they did nothing wrong. Alien is just the example of that which happens to be here now.
