@RazumikhinPG Why so? I'm a 30 something gaming fan with kids of my own and this is actually interesting from a parental perspective. My kids also like gaming and this will be something we can explore together. So yeah I may be in the minority on this site but clearly if that's the case it's a minority that they think they should cater to.
@Xylnox true but at least playasia state it could be up to 30 days , although it was longer in your case... they're not saying it's 48 hours on their site...and playasia are in a different continent
As much as I love this game and as much as I love to collect physical versions this is a step to far when you consider just how cheap this is digitally.
I traded this in just after launch as there wasn't enough content and it wasnt complete. It has improved from what I hear so will be giving this another shot although unlikely to rebuy even at 33% off.
I will get this at some point but when will depend on whether it's based on the mobile or PC version...I expect some kind of enhanced mobile version so will wait and pick up in a sale at decent price given I have mm1-3 on my phone and the PC version.
Sentimentally it's the first zelda game I ever completed when I was a kid and it means a lot to me for that reason. It's not the best Zelda by any means but will (likely) always be my favourite and I can not wait to get my hands on this. Realising it was this as the trailer started in the direct really hit me in a good way, I didn't expect this game and now I can't wait.
Good to see Civilization VI in that list. I picked it up between Christmas and New year and have put in 20 hours ish so far which is crazy given that there are 2 under 5s in the house. One night in said id play for an hour at 8pm... next I knew it was midnight in the blink of an eye. It's a great game, my first since Civ2 as well.
@scully1888 out of interest was this running from console storage or sd card? Could that account for any of the lag? Did you try that when you uninstalled and reinstalled?
That said I have seen enough to know the game isn't for me and I shall gladly keep £55 to spend on other games
Loved this kicking off the direct. Looks great, hopefully will be backed up in the gameplay when it comes out. On my want list based on what has been shown though.
I really want this to be good but other games from bigben interactive I have played (wrc games on xb1) have been very uninspiring. Going to wait to see how it reviews before even giving any consideration to it.
For the cost I have no complaints it's decent value. I am disappointed that the retro games are limited to NES only but I expect that this could change over time. Even if I only played mk8d or splatoon2 online amd BoTW the online gaming and cloud back up seems a steal for £18. Some people's expectations seem unrealistic. It's the start of the service and it will evolve for sure. I'm not unhappy with what we know so far.
I was underwhelmed. There were certainly a few I'll keep an eye on and will pick up at the right price more than likely. For me the whole thing felt kind of rushed and was over before it started.
I was there Saturday morning...a free for all outside and despite saying registration opened at 830 it was gone 9am by the time we got in then we were not allowed onto the floor to play games for all further 30 mins. That said I managed to play everything except splatoon2 which was not a big worry for me...I know what to expect from that. Food was a good touch I wasent expecting and by the time I left Saturday it looked like a queue system had been set up outside the theatre itself which would have really helped in the morning. On the whole it was a good experience and nice to try out the games. For me it reinforced what I'd seen on the streams the day before. It's good fun but for me BOTW is the main draw and I have a wiiu so £40 vs £320 is a no brainer for me. I will get a switch but it will not be until at least Christmas that I do.
This was by far my favourite game at the hand on preview event at the weekend...it has a real "just one more go" vibe... me and my mate would have a match then rejoin the queue to have another grudge match. I'm really looking forward to this.
I was hooked by the demo...which very rarely happens and it's simply awesome...you try saying to yourself "ah go on then I'll have a 15 minute session" next you know over an hour had gone. Mad as it may seem to anyone who hasnt played but this is one of my games of the year.
@JH64 agreed this is so frustrating. The existing NNID is linked to the my Nintendo account so why they insist on showing offers that are of no use to me is annoying. I'd much prefer to only see offers on things I do not ready own

Re: Zavvi Launches Mario Kart Racing Merch Range
Probably not just in time for Christmas. I ordered something from them 9th November.
Estimated shipping date in account still says 11/11. Still not shipped.
This is what customer services have had to say....
"As I'm sure you can understand, we are now in a very busy time of the year, and as such, it can take some orders a little longer to be dispatched."
I'd advise avoiding zavvi at all costs
