HMV appear to be selling Puzzlequest for the DS at £19.99, which is cheaper than I've seen elsewhere. Also, Phoenix Wright: Justice For All is currently going for the same price at Gamestation in Nottingham. Dunno if it's every Gamestation or just a regional thing, but worth checking out.
German 360 tard pak/Core konsole 198,97 Euro, works out at £137.50 delivered. You need to get a new power cable, but its the same as any computer or kettle.
At this price, its probably worth it to get the tard pack, but just need to get a memory card.

Gameplay have Puzzle Quest (DS version) for £14.99 including UK shipping.
well, my order for 8 x halo 3 legendary edition just went through, total of £40.00. RRP £560. Nice little profit margin there. If HMV go through with this then I think I will just flog these all for like £35 each, or whack em on ebay for massive profits.
I wonder why retails seem to struggle with Halo 3 legendary edition, both amazon and hmv have had large misspricing errors with it...
nope, still £5, it says £70, then when you add it to your basket, it is £5
Wonderful find. I pre-ordered twenty. There's no chance of HMV honouring the mistake; this is just too epic a cockup to be honoured. I do, however, expect to get a good amount of freebies out of the deal.

I guess worst case scenario, the order is cancelled, as you said.

indeed, me too.
Although hmv have historically honourd missprices. Worth a shot, as I said, worst case scenario is that they will cancel the order and appologise, at which point I/we email them and try and blag some gift vouchers.
It seems to me like you're paying £5 for the pre-order since I believe it is a limited edition item.
there is no where durring the order process, or in the order confirmation that states it is a pre-order. No other items in the HMV online catalogue have reserves for pre-orders, they just take your details and charge you when they ship the item.
Uh. The big purple button says 'PRE-ORDER' on it. To be fair, it doesn't say that it's only a reserve price and that you will have to pay full price afterward, either.
I realised what a fool I was being only getting one of them, so I just ordered three more.

I wonder how many of these deals that you list actually end up as anything other than cancelled orders. I tried to get a few games from the massive GBA sale that HMV had and that orders still on hold.

For Excite Truck, check out http://www.shopto.net. Hell, check it out for most things - in general, very low prices, and they tend to ship preorders before release, too.
EDIT: Oh, they may be UK-only. Let me check that.

Anything that I beleive to be a missprice I state as being so, its not like I am trying to trick you.
Looking back over the past few pages, there is a couple of items that resulted in cancelled orders, but only one that I didn't point out was probably a missprice (Panzer Dragoon Saga) and that was actually labelled as 'in stock' just gamestation didn't keep their site up to date with stock levels.
Alot of the items I post are clearance items, and so may go out of stock very quickly, but I know that alot of people have saven alot of money from me posting bargains, even if a couple of people get disapointed from cancelled order, but bigger picture, no one looses anything by taking a risk on missprices, and, with things like the DAB 2000, they are going to benefit (something along the lines of £20 amazon gift certificate).

It didn't mean that in a bad way. I realise you're doing a stellar job for us
Phoenix Wright: Justice for All, DS - about £15 delivered, slightly cheaper than play-asia, and its the USA version, not the JAP version, so manual and boxart will be in english.

Thats cool then, I wanted to make sure that you didn't think I was posting miss-prices that no-one benefits from intentionally.
Hmmmm, I don't mind snagging a bargain now and then, but I personally wouldn't take advantage of a misprice of a limited edition product. For something like the Halo 3 Legendary edition, Bungie seem to have put alot of effort into it - I think its more than worth the £70. Seeing a mis-price and trying to snag as many as you can get does seem a bit greedy (IMO).
I hope if the quantities are REALLY limited that they restrict it to one per customer when they get an idea of stock allocations.

I could use the money more than Bungie. Besides, it's not Bungie or Microsoft that would lose any money in the absurdly unlikely event that the pricing mistake is honoured; HMV would still pay the publisher the same amount per unit. Call me selfish if you will, but I consider a few extra pounds in my pocket to be of greater importance than a blip on HMV's balance sheet.

And fuck off is it worth £70.
Thats mostly how I feel. But on top of that, HMV will either get bad PR if they just cancel all orders, or it will cost them to give compensation for cancelled orders, or they will fullfill all orders at a large loss.
Thus, by placing an order, you are giving them economic insentive to not fuck up like this again, encouraging them to maintain their site well in the future. It's essentially playing a role in capitalism, which, like it or not, is the business HMV are in, and by being a customer, you are too.

put £30 worth in your basket (£25 + £5) and then apply code "SENSE" and you get £5 off, so you get £30 in gift certificates for £25.
Rinse and repeat, and you can get a Wii (if they ever have stock) for £150 or a PS3 for £354
not sure if the code works more than once in the same account, but you can just set up seperate accounts with your address with a a/b after it.
ie, if you like at -
"123 random street"
change it to -
"123a random street"
or you could get friends and familly to order for you. At that ps3 is slightly more patlletable.

If it is supposed to be a reserve, that is their mistake, and they cannot force you to pay, worst case scenario, they cancel your order.
And with student discount, too. A whole 50p.

The box it comes in is literally hewn from a single block of solid gold, so I think it may WELL be worth that amount.
why thank you. If you are looking for a way to show your appreciation, take a look at my sig please
It is done my good man.
cheers! I am actually pretty close to getting an HDTV now, 19 more referals and I am in 1st place!
I think WE SHOULD ALL DO IT, because of all the money lewieP has saved us collectively. It must be more than whatever that TV is worth.
ALL DO IT NOW. YOU OWE IT TO LEWIEP.
lol, thats really heartwarming. You've allready done enough to make up for it
No shops near me have stock. Its a clearance item.
edit - trade in value at game of £18, according to the booklet.
You can get it for a £1 on Amaxon I think, or at least you could.
