I ordered Resident Evil 5 from ShopTo today, and about 30 mins later I get a text saying it had been dispatched.

That's what I call quick service. Geez.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Yup they are awesome (Y)

All I can say is what the hell! lol :o

Dear Rob Pears

We have have some important news regarding your GAME Exclusive Chris

Redfield Figurine, please read the below news bulletin for more information.

***Breaking News***

T-Virus outbreak at GAME.co.uk warehouse!

Official sources have reported that a T-Virus infection has engulfed a section

of the GAME.co.uk warehouse however they have confirmed that it has now

been contained.

It is suspected that the source of the contamination was the GAME Exclusive

Chris Redfield figurine that a limited number of Resident Evil 5 preorder

customers would be receiving.

Although the outbreak is yet to be naturalised, GAME.co.uk have confirmed

that all preorders for Resident Evil 5 will not be affected and will be

despatched uncontaminated in time for delivery on release day.

They have also confirmed that customers who were originally promised a

Chris Redfield figurine will still be receiving one, however the figurine will be

despatched separately at a slightly later date.

Initial reports suggest that a BSAA Team are already on site performing a

clean up operation, so customers can expect to receive their Chris Redfield

figurine by the end of next week.

GAME.co.uk has issued a public statement apologising for any

inconvenience caused.

***End of Broadcast***

Kind Regards,

The Customer Service Team

So they tried to cover up a **** up with an amusing email relating it to Resident Evil 5? Lol.

[GameOverRob]

Well I got the damn thing yesterday, I just hope my game is waiting for me when I get home or I will be seriously p*ssed!

[GameOverRob]

Good news it did come in the post ... Good news for GAME that is or heads would have been rolling!

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

I got that email too. My Chris model arrived this morning though so I was lucky (Y)

My 360 has red lighted though, not so lucky..

I've checked around and the best price for them seems to be ?125. Gameplay are selling a bundles for ?130, one with HAWX or another with Sega Megadrive collection. Not bad prices for two new games. Only trouble is, are they Jaspers or Falcons:/:/

You spotted any other deals Rob?

[GameOverRob]

Whatcha looking at doing buddy? Grabbing an arcade and slapping the hard-drive on? any particular games that you are interesting in owning atm?

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

I'm just looking for an Arcade (Jasper), games are a bonus if its like Gameplay's deal (i.e a couple of pound more). Otherwise I can do without them.

I'm not finding many deals right now tbh.

[GameOverRob]

I'm about to make a few calls to GAME and Blockbuster to check for stock of Gears of War PC. I'll ask for any deals.

Nothing decent best deal was ?129.99 @ GAME instore with Sega MegaDrive UC. But you already have that/played it and it would probably only re-sell for about ?10! I'll keep my eyes peeled for ya mind. Which red lights 1, 2 or 3?

[Brad.]

Blockbuster only stock Jasper arcades now, I'm pretty sure of that. They ALWAYS have a free game with an arcade too, when I got mine I got FIFA '09 for free (instead of Call of Duty: World at War).

If there's a BB near you Andy it's worth popping in and asking a few questions, they let me check the box to see if it was a jasper (Y)

Xbox 360 Arcade System @ Zavvi - ?116.95 using 10% Discount code

Discount code: ZAVVI10

Dunno if this will work but its deffo worth a try!

If you don't ask you don't get!

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

How much did you pay Brad?

@ Rob, it started off with just freezes, then it wouldn't boot. Then I had artifacts and one light (bottom right while horizontal) and then eventually 3 lights (top left, bottom left & right).

The Zavvi code still works. Again, the only thing stopping me from ordering is we don't know if its a Jasper or not..:/

[GameOverRob]

3 red lights will get you a free repair from microsoft! Or is it over 3 years old? Even so they may just do it for you? Or you could pay ?60 to have it fixed and a free 1 year warrenty; they will more than likely send you a brand new unit.

You won't beat that deal at Zavvi mind!

[GameOverRob]

That is unless you want to go down the Littlewoods route?

XBOX 360 Arcade System @ Littlewoods Direct - ?99 using ?30 off ?60 Discount Code

[mail]

They send new units out for RROD? Mine's in atm :(

[GameOverRob]

Yeah, my mate got a brand new one back only yesterday his xbox was 2 years old

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

My 360 isn't in warranty so buying a new Jasper is my only choice.

[Brad.]

How much did you pay Brad?

?130 inc. the game.(Y))

[Pheee]

My 360 isn't in warranty so buying a new Jasper is my only choice.

Mine was 2 months out of warranty and got mine repaired for free still.

You just never know your luck sometimes.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Repairing isn't an option guys, just trust me.

@Brad, thanks. I'll either do that or I will ask my mate in PC World to buy it with staff discount or last resort, buy from Zavvi.

Ah Yes if I remember correctly, I trust you now...

Try that first :p Never miss a bargain :L

And btw, I sent of my xbox that had RROD and the warranty sticker was missing, they switched dvd drives and sent it back to me, without fixing the RROD (fair enough), but then I sent it back to them with the new warranty sticker that they slapped on there and they fixed it.

Win?

[+jamesyfx Subscriber²]

PC World staff discount is only 10% anyway. :[ So it's the same as Zavvi's offer.

But I guess it's better backed if you get it from a store that's actually in business. :p
