Never mind what you've pre-ordered, but consider where you've preordered. Zavvi are absolutely shit at hitting release dates. I rarely use them and when I do its only ever for old stock stuff.

 

Took them 6 weeks to deliver my Ratatouille Blu-Ray!

I ordered blu-ray off them once. Four days layer there was no sign of dispatch. So I cancelled and ordered elsewhere.

This week's deal for customers who have pre-ordered with Zavvi or TheHut is Rayman Legends for £19.95. Check your inbox for the unique code!

 

Impressive. They surely must lose at least 10 pounds per sale!?

 

I wish we had deals like that in Norwegian stores.

Really? I assume they'll only honor the base pack though?

 

Nope the premium one :smile:

 

My boyfriend had already placed a new order for the premium one at the higher price, so I called up and asked them to honour the price quoted in June. It took a while as she had to check with a manager, and she did try telling me prices are only guaranteed for 7 days, but once I mentioned their pre-order price promise she quite quickly changed her tune and said yes they will honour it.

 

Our order has now been updated showing the premium console at £199.99.

 

This was a week or so ago but it should be the same for everyone that placed the original order.

@Katie, you had a far more lenient guy than I have ATM. He is not budging, but I shall not give up!

 

How did it go? It was a bit weird how they tried to brush me off a few times then when I again mentioned it was a pre-order she quickly said yes. I thought she was just lying to get rid of me at first.

@Katie - phew, all done. The chat services would not budge, but telephone customer services did it right away. No fuss. WiiU £199 - I told @dazzybee I'd get one for less than £200 (still gotta work out how I'm going to shave £20 off that price ot win our bet!).

 

How are Amazon for hardware pre-orders though? My other orders are with Shopto - anyone had experience of hardware pre-orders with them, do they arrive Wednesday/Thursday? Not that I'm willing to pay £100 extra for delivery a couple of days early.

Hooray glad to hear you got it sorted in the end!

 

I think Amazon are good but the couriers sometimes let them down, when we ordered the Wii it was dispatched but the courier didn't deliver it on time. I'm hoping now that I'm a Prime customer I'll get it on launch day.

Hang on. Surely you couldn't claim to win the bet (even though you still won't), we were talking about how much the wii u costs, and it clearly costs a hell of a lot more than £179.99. £230 is the CHEAPEST it's n sale for. The fact some people get it for less on a technicality is great, but hard to argue that's its price.

 

But either way. It doesn't matter. Even with amazon being incredibly generous, you STILL won't get it for the price you said!

 

I also think amazon will serve the £199 people last :)
