Default Re: GameStop.co.uk offer exclusive WHITE 320gb PS3!

FFS - I rushed to pre-order this last night thinking that it would be out of stock very quickly. The one I got was for £239.99 which comes with the white console 320gb, 2 white controllers and 90 days PlayStation Plus subscription.

Today I see there's a £249.99 bundle which comes with London 2012 Olympics Game!

My console has been dispatched so I've just sent them an email so hopefully they can sort something for me, missing out on a brand new game for £10 is a sin!

TBH I bet that game is terrible anyway, most of the 'sport event/movie tie in games' are. Is it the steelbook edition?

That game will evetually end up for around 10quid Likey, so honestly you aren't missing out on much. I would wait and see if the Amazon steelbook bundle might go down in price perhaps as low as £15, as the only thing that interest me in this Olympics game is that steelbook.

Don't worry, I want it to sell, thus make the purchase slightly cheaper. I thought it was only Amazon UK that do the steelbook?

I wanted to get the PS3 Lightning Edition v2 which is from Japan but £400 is pretty steep and I'm unsure of the pros and cons of a foreign console.

For example, hassle of claiming warranty replacement if it goes wrong. PSN and DLC works for UK if the console is from Japan?

THere might be hardware and warranty related hassles, but as long as you have a UK PSN account, I believe DLCs should work fine

I just rang up GAME customer services, they said that the item has been shipped so they can't do anything but said once it arrives I can take it to any store to get a refund then buy the one with the bundle if they have that deal in the store.

Hopefully they'll allow that, for the sake of getting a game for £10 more and sell it on ebay for like £30 I think it's worth the hassle - sort of! lol.

Likey,

I'm selling the PS3 FFXIII-V2 for £360. If you want I can throw in a FFXIII-V2 steel book for £20 and a poster of lightning for £20 (or lightning and serah). I also have the official hardback guide (in English) for £15.

All items are Brand new and sealed. Absolutely mint.

Don't worry about the warranty, nothing happens to these things, I've sold loads. But in the worst case I can send it back to Japan for repair providing you can cover shipping costs.

Here is the thread http://collectorsedition.org/forums/...ead.php?t=7976

This happened to me with the silver PS3, I bought two at £239 from GAME and then the next day they dropped to £149! They hadn't even shipped. I called Game on the Monday and they said they 'just' shipped them. I asked for a refund of difference but they wouldn't have it. I had to post them back. They offered me a rebate of £20 each, but the price difference was way too much to swallow particularly with fact that they were still selling them at £149!

Yeah, Scarlet looks really nice but I want the white pads.

I hope the white one won't turn yellow at any point, that would be annoying.

Is only consider getting the Lightning v2 off you if I was picking it up so I could examine it. Thanks for the extra upselling but I already have all those.


I'd want warranty should there be a lens fault.
