MightyJordan Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) 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.

GameOverRob Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Weird, I just ordered two more because my mate wanted some and he doesn't trust online ordering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameOverRob Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 All six that I ordered yesterday have been dispatched lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyJordan Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) 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 Edited June 19, 2009 by MightyJordan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameOverRob Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheee Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 is there anyway they can do anything, like ask for money back etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scokem Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+InsaneNutter MVC Posted June 19, 2009 MVC Share Posted June 19, 2009 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 ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyJordan Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Thanks very much .Rob, pre ordered Halo 3 ODST for ?19.99(Y)) 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> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameOverRob Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I always put it in first? :s weird Hotukdeals mainly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyJordan Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 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:( :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheee Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 so will this work with pre-orders, or do they normally see it and adjust it later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameOverRob Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't work, unfortunately. It's all grouped into one order, and they go down to ?36 each for Forza 3, not ?30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
