add the 2100 points, add any item(s) to make the order upto ?100+ enter the code complete order, cancel the additional items and the 2100 points should have ?10 off them! ordered two successfully last night and they have been dispatched today, and i've ordered 3 or 4 more today i can't remembe:p:p

[MightyJordan]

It's not working for me. :(

And it's worse, because I can't cancel the order I made; I keep getting error messages. Thank god I haven't got the money for it, but I've contacted customer support telling them to cancel the order, then I might try again later.

Weird, I just ordered two more because my mate wanted some and he doesn't trust online ordering.

[GameOverRob]

All six that I ordered yesterday have been dispatched lol

[MightyJordan]

Just tried it again and it didn't work. :( Do you have to order a specific item so that they get shipped seperately for it to work?

EDIT: Yes, you do! Tried it with the Vibrant Blue PSP-3000 (which is on pre-order) and it split the orders, so it worked!!! :D

Only two things that are a shame for me: you have to wait 20 minutes each time, and I've only got ?17 in my bank account, so I can only get two of them. But I'm still saving ?20!:p:p

Right here is what I did step by step:

1. Find 2100 Microsoft Points Card

2. Add 2100 Microsoft Points Card to basket

3. Find Tony Hawk Ride ? as this costs ?99.99!

4. Add Tony Hawk Ride to basket

5. View Basket

6. Ent10100VCGAME/b> code into the correct box, it should say code accepted!

7. Proceed to fill in you card and address details and progress the order

8. Complete the order

9. Once complete it should say manage orders go to that

10. Click on cancel for Tony Hawk Ride, continue bla bla bla

11. Right that should now be cancelled and leave you with only the 2100 Points but they should only be ?7.50 as the ?10 voucher has been taken of them

[Pheee]

is there anyway they can do anything, like ask for money back etc?

[scokem]

I followed Rob's instructions and it worked perfectly - I've now got Tales of Vesperia on pre-order for only ?27.99 :)) Thanks for the code and tip dude.

[GameOverRob]

Never happened for me buddy, I've been doing it for ages with the ?3 and ?5 codes!

[+InsaneNutter MVC]

Thanks very much .Rob, pre ordered Halo 3 ODST for ?19.99(Y))

I?m guessing game might notice if I did it with an item for ?10 or less, better not be gre;)y ;)

[Pheee]

yeah halo ODST for ?19.99, I'm GAME

[Brad.]

Very tempting to pre-order ODST right now :'[

[+KibosJ Subscriber²]

Awesome, just ordered my 2100 points :p

[MightyJordan]

Me too.:))

Rob, where do you hear about the GAME voucher codes from, BTW?

Ooh, should point out; put the item you're trying to save money on in the basketlast>, otherwise it won't get the ?10 off. Sorry, buggered it up then:p:p Put the item ifirst, not last!b>

[GameOverRob]

I always put it in first? :s weird

Hotukdeals mainly!

[MightyJordan]

Hmm, seems they might have sorted out the problem somewhat. I've tried to get a tenner off Forza 3, but no matter which way I put it in, it always takes ?10 off Tony Hawk, not Forza.:((

OK, it looks like it's a problem with either Tony Hawk or Forza 3, because I just pre-ordered DiRT 2 with the PSP-3000 in Vibrant Blue to get the discount, and it did give the ?10 off to DiRT 2, so I'm only paying ?25 for that:) :)

Balls, I'm getting the problem with Mass Effect 2 now as wel:( :(

[Pheee]

so will this work with pre-orders, or do they normally see it and adjust it later?

You really are giving the system some abuse there aren't yo:p :p

I just hope they don't catch on to what we're doing by the time our pre-orders come through and take the discount away from us!

[GameOverRob]

Apparently there is some strange problem with some games, try adding 3 or however many copies of that game to take it over ?100 and then cancel all bar one!

Doesn't work, unfortunately. It's all grouped into one order, and they go down to ?36 each for Forza 3, not ?30.

[Pheee]

At least my points have been dispatched :D

[MightyJordan]

If anyone is able to get the ?10 discount applied to Forza 3 or Mass Effect 2, please let me know how you did it!

[Brian M. Veteran]

I think they've caught on:

This will also cancel the linked order(s)...

[MightyJordan]

I think they've caught on:

Well, at least I've got 4200 Microsoft Points for just ?15, and I've got pre-orders of Halo 3 ODST for ?20, and DiRT 2 for ?25:) :)

[Brad.]

God damn, i'm gonna try now as I need points badly and have just seen the bands coming to RB in the next two weeks!!!
