I don't think Amazon will take such a big loss. It all depends on how many people managed to order before the mistake was noticed a few dozen is enough for Amazon to take a hit for good press but a few hundred or even thousand is a big loss and thats before factoring all the preorder price guarantee orders. At least 1 2 Switch will get good sales now 😉
@Xaessya I'd love that also but I don't think we'll ever get something like that sadly and stuff like console exclusive games means Nintendo are free to charge what they wish and people would have no other option.
I've only bought from GameSeek once but that was a £5 download code for Nintendo Pocket Football Club, It came before the delivery date. But I'm unsure I'm comfortable giving £200 on a promise, If it was like other sites with pay once dispatched I'd jump at this but the whole thing seems shady imo.
A 25% increase on the App Store doesn't effect me much as I rarely game on my phone however if the download stores I do frequent follow suit it's gonna hurt, 25% on top of a full price eshop/PSN game no thank you. But at least the xenophobes are happy.
Luckily I just got DQ8 so I should be busy till Switch arrives. Hopefully Nintendo get their act together with weekly sales on Switch, PSN has something worthwhile on sale nearly every week.
Since Splatoon 2 will hardly leave my Switch I'm kinda forced into this. I wish the downloadable game was a GameCube or Eshop title and not a SNES game I've likely got on my Wii U anyway.
I'll buy Shantae for sure I love the series. I think I'll get Spirit of Justice at that price and Steel Empire cos it's never on sale also FE map pack 2 to make my copy of Fates complete.
What a lovely and kind gesture shows there is some genuinely nice people in the world, Kudos kind stranger. I've entered on behalf of my brother he's a massive Pokémon fan but has yet to get the new games so it'd be a nice gift should I win.
There seems to be too many shortcomings to this game to make me buy it. No way to upload or even search/rate levels takes away a huge chunk of what the game is about for me and it seems like it's something that would've been easy to include it's not like the 3DS is incapable of smooth online play. 9/10 seems a tad generous but I haven't played it so I'm not gonna jump on the you're biased bandwagon.
I think ill wait till after January 12th to preorder and from a site i have more trust in, Dropping £200 just before xmas on something i wont get till March isn't really tempting to me.
I got Moon coming from Amazon and at £10 cheaper than Game are charging. Even if I didn't I'd refuse to go to Game because every time I go to get the Promotional Legendaries from my local store I'm informed Pokémon is a kids game and I should be playing a mans game like FIFA.
I got Beat the Beat(stupid name) for only £3 at Argos a few months back so that price is a slight rip off. I'm getting Moon physically once Amazon deliver it and maybe something in the Cyber deals if something tempts me.
I'm still hoping for Gotta Protectors to make its way over, I swear the eShop reminds me of the 90s again where we would wait month for a game America had already.
Hello future rare game, May be smart to pick this up. I'm glad I can, I was just about to ask the forum if anyone's seen a store selling this so weird coincidence. Edit* It's in stock at my local store 😁
Since I got both Corpse Party 1 and 2 for only £2.99 each in a sale on my Vita a few months ago I think i'll pass for now, Maybe i'd consider a physical release but its not happening here.

Re: Video: Nintendo Switch User Interface Shown Off In Leaked Footage
Having the Switch early but no games is a bit like knowing a hot girl and being in the friend zone, Great to look at but you can't play with it.
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th February (Europe)
If Tank Troopers had online multiplayer I'd get it.
Re: Amazon UK Offers Nintendo Switch Downloads, Cost More Than Boxed Equivalents
@impurekind I'll always choose physical over digital when given the choice hopefully we have that choice for a long time yet.
Re: Splatoon 2 Global Testfire To Take Place During Nintendo Switch Launch Month
An unexpected but nice surprise.
Re: Amazon UK Offers Nintendo Switch Downloads, Cost More Than Boxed Equivalents
@PotatoTheG I buy a majority of my PS4 games digitally because Sony are great with sales I wish Nintendo would drop prices more often.
Re: Amazon UK Offers Nintendo Switch Downloads, Cost More Than Boxed Equivalents
@Xaessya I'd love that also but I don't think we'll ever get something like that sadly and stuff like console exclusive games means Nintendo are free to charge what they wish and people would have no other option.
Re: Amazon UK Offers Nintendo Switch Downloads, Cost More Than Boxed Equivalents
£60 for a download no thank you.
It's pricing like this that makes me dread the idea of a digital only future.
Re: Poll: Does Nintendo Switch Need Streaming Apps and a Web Browser, Or Is It All About Games?
I'm curious to see how you can share screenshots and video(soon) without a browser or YouTube app.

Re: A Fire Emblem Heroes Event is Live on Miitomo
Would've liked a Lyn shirt........If I still used Miitomo.
Re: Yo-kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits & Fleshy Souls Finally Get a European Release Date
They give us these games so long after everyone else I honestly lose interest, that's the reason I didn't get the first one.

Re: Special Discounts for The Legend of Zelda Series Coming to the eShop in Europe
I own them all so it's kinda pointless for me sadly.

Re: Review: Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King (3DS)
Should keep me busy till Zelda and Switch roll along.
Re: Brexit Could Increase Super Mario Run's Unlock Cost In The UK
I really hope the Eshop/PSN don't follow suit, The £ is worthless but eh it's ok so the xenophobes can sleep easily.
Re: Breaking Down the Nintendo Switch Online Service Details
I can't wait to see the backlash when the free game is Urban Champion 😂
Re: Breaking Down the Nintendo Switch Online Service Details

Re: Nintendo Switch Will Cost £279.99 In The UK
This is the price on the official Nintendo store could be a little cheaper elsewhere as they always sell at the highest price possible.
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd December (Europe)
I'll buy Shantae for sure I love the series. I think I'll get Spirit of Justice at that price and Steel Empire cos it's never on sale also FE map pack 2 to make my copy of Fates complete.
Re: Poll: How Important is the Virtual Console, and GameCube, for the Nintendo Switch?
Give me the option to redownload my current VC library for free and I'll be happy.

Re: F-Zero X Wii U Update Improves Controls and 'Deadzone' Issue
Cool I might actually pick it up now.

Re: Review: Wings of Magloryx (Wii U eShop)
Forget Pokemon I'm getting this.
Re: GAME Confirms Midnight Openings and Events for Pokémon Sun and Moon

Re: Nintendo Drops The Ban Hammer on Pokémon Sun and Moon Pirates
My heart truly weeps.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Switch To Start At £199.99 In United Kingdom, $329.99 In Canada
£250 with a game would be an amazing price, Im already getting it day one no matter the cost but this price would make that decision easier.
Re: Feature: The Most Intriguing Features in Pokémon Sun and Moon
@Nintendian Are you seriously judging the entire Pokemon series based on your time with a free app that bas completely different gameplay.
Re: Feature: The Most Intriguing Features in Pokémon Sun and Moon
The only spoilers ive read is a couple stats/movesets of Pokemon im interested in, Its gonna be a long couple of weeks to avoid major plot points.

Hello future rare game, May be smart to pick this up. I'm glad I can, I was just about to ask the forum if anyone's seen a store selling this so weird coincidence. Edit* It's in stock at my local store 😁
Re: Pokémon Sun and Moon Pre-Load Now Available on the 3DS eShop
@FernandoMachado I have the exact same problem with Moon, I guess an easy fix would be to set the 3DS clock back 12 hours.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd November (Europe)
Will get Sega Collection if i can find a physical copy, Is it even getting a physical release?
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th October (Europe)
Since I got both Corpse Party 1 and 2 for only £2.99 each in a sale on my Vita a few months ago I think i'll pass for now, Maybe i'd consider a physical release but its not happening here.
Re: Preview Trailer of the Nintendo NX Confirmed for 20th October
I'm so hyped right now 😁
Re: Hands On: Pokémon Sun and Moon - Special Demo Version
Since you say check back in an hour dies that mean that's when the demo is available?
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th October (Europe)
I might get Project Zero cos the physical version is near impossible to find.

"It can be a tough call between paying full price direct to publishers (an option for North America) or taking the cheaper deal elsewhere."
For you maybe 😂
