I really don't care if people buy one or two extra in the deal to resell but when people start ordering 9 Castlevania's as someone did earlier in this thread then it ruins it for everyone. It'll affect resale prices for everyone as preowned stores like CEX will be flooded and limit the amount geniune buyers can purchase from Amazon. People are hardly making mega bucks off this anyway. Its just really selfish, especially just before Christmas when people will be ordering these as presents for their kids.

People not ordering Rhythm Thief are bad people

Bloody hell this is awesome!

This place is supposed to help me save money, instead I've been spending more money cause of these great deals!

Went for; Starfox 64, RE: Revelations and Rhythm Thief.

Are people seriously considering buying these games to tarde in just to make a few pounds?? Is it really worth all the hassle?

Feel sorry for the ones that genuinely wanted these for Xmas presents but no longer available for Xmas delivery due to the greed of people that intend to sell them to CeX.

CeX will drop their buying price once they spot it on Amazon. This tends to happen in one of these ways:
1. At least one person creates an online sell order at CeX for 5+. (most likely)
2. Someone tries to sell more than 9 to a corporate CeX, which forces a price request.
3. A CeX franchise realises they are overpaying when someone sells them a few and tells pricing.
4. Someone at CeX head office is browsing HUKD on their lunch break.

If none of the above happen, 3DS prices are reviewed every 3 weeks to a month, with the last time being 4 Dec. They'll see a massive influx and drop the price to £6/£8/£12 then.

But, it's unlikely they'll be paying more than £6 by Tuesday, as too many will be trying this and they are quicker than ever lately.

Glad I wasn't the only one who face-palmed when I read that comment.

Edit: All working fine now!

Probably because the choice is very niche?

The only game I would want from that list is Starfox64.

Good price for Starfox + Castlevania + Resident Evil Revelations.

Shame I already have RE otherwise would be all over this.

Hot!

I'll pick up these three when the offer is fixed:

Star Fox 64 3D
Resident Evil: Revelations
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror Of Fate

Feel like a right wallie for ordering Starfox, Heroes and Rhythm for £35 collectively in the lightning deals.

Left over lightning deal stock, maybe?

Alright son don't ruin it. Hopr your order gets cancelled

Thanks bloooo! If you have an AMEX card the code AMEX5OFF still works. I got 6 games for £30 as I still had a bespoke £10 for £5 voucher, so will trade in 3 games to CEX and get Castlevania, Starfox and Resident Evil free for myself.

Blazing hot!

Tempted to give CEX a quick headsup

Do a barrel roll.

WTF?

Totally agree with you dan5, one word springs to mind, begins in T and ends in T with two letters in between

Like a bankrobber has the right to be disappointed if he breaks into a vault and it's empty.

Had 6x games delivered today, waiting on 3 more.

My 3 copies of Castlevania arrived this morning, just short of midday. I immediately headed off to CEX and was able to trade them all in for the suggested trade-in value of £14. After getting £42 (14x3) worth of instore credit I was able to immediately use my credit to purchase a copy of Super Mario 3D World, which cost £40.

Big thanks to everyone who responded to my questions, especially thebaron69. Hope everything works out for everybody else and you all get your products quickly!

i just seen steel diver for £3 in blockbuster.

Offer doesn't work atm, but fantastic price when it does.

Sorry, not sure what I'm doing wrong with the link tags!

Very odd. If you click the T&Cs it takes you to the terms for a different offer. 2 for 20 on some different games.

Doesn't work.

Shame you missed the last deal on that game which was live for a short amount of time selling the game for £9.99 but if you have a CEX store nearby they sell the game for £14 so save afew £'s if you aren't fussed about it being new.

I completely agree i'm in the same boat myself.

Dang, now I wish I hadn't bought Star Fox and Rhythm Thief for £10 each!

Ha. Looks like they've removed the offer rather than fixing it

All working fine now!
(edited)

They have fixed it.

I also called in and cust service and was told to place the order and they would reduce from £58.93 to £20! and they did, very pleased, thank you Amazon.

Their offers stated 3 for £20, but the terms on the page takes you to a 2 for £20 offer... terms so think that is why it was taken down.
