Ace Combat Assault Horizon

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Despite the £59.99 price, I pre-ordered at GAME hoping it was just a placeholder price. As it turns out, it was, and they have since sent me an eMail informing me that the price has been lowered to a much more reasonable £39.99!

I've ordered from Zavvi a lot, everything has always arrived in pristine condition.

Have you had issues?

Buyers in the UK will rate Zavvi one of the worst in terms of packaging. The trouble is, the postal service here is terrible and there packaging methods are very poor.

I wouldn't put it quite like that. It's not perfect, granted, but it's still one of (if not THE) best postal services in the world. Obviously the more you buy, the more likely you are to experience problems with Royal Mail. But for the most part, they're Ok. Unlike places like Italy...

However:

and there packaging methods are very poor.

This doesn't help matters, and a postal service is only as good or bad as the items they are transporting. Some companies don't seem to understand the importance of protecting items during transit. Most people are quick to blame Royal Mail for bashing them around, but half the blame should go to the companies who ship delicate items in sub-standard inadequate packaging. Ie, cardboard case CE's in double-sided bubblewrap, rather than a sturdy box with approriate padding inside

Ok I should rephrase that, The postal service in my area is very bad. But in the end it's the packaging they use that gives the biggest problems. A Jiffi bag for everything will not do, it's not always the case, but by and large it what they do. But zavvi are nothing compared to play.

I love the steelbook!

Content changed, and there is no Steelbook.

Namco Bandai has sent out a correction to its previous press release - the Limited Edition will be packaged in a folded box rather than steel tin.
