Good DS pre order prices...

[Deltatri3]

At simplygames.com, I just ordered sonic rush for £19 inc special delivery! (normal postage is free).

They also have viewtiful jo at £19, and new releases such as Ultimate spiderman at £20! approx. At least £5-£10 cheaper than anywhere else ive found.

That's really good prices!

I am really tempted to pre order Veiwtiful Joe DS :awesome:

Cheers for that - great prices! :grin:

Just ordered Sonic Rush. Is Viewtiful Joe any good? Don't know much about it cos I've never played it on the GC.

I noticed that Simply Games prices are pretty cheap for GBA games too - they've got a specials section.

VJ on Ds is more puzzle than action orientated unlike the GC games. IGN reviewed it yesterday and gave it 8.5 outa 10.

Just ordered my copy of Sonic Rush :), although they seem to have the release date as 25th November, but Sega Europe's site says its out on the 18th, hopefully they'll ship it on the 18th and not a week later.

The release date says 18 November 2005. Have they changed it or am I looking somewhere different from you?! :confused:

I've heard some bad things about simplygames, they may be cheap, but they're awful at getting games to you on release day, sometimes being as much as a week late.

Just noticed that it says on their FAQ:

"If I place a pre order, when will I receive it?
We normally receive stocks for pre orders 2-7 days before the release date and ship out in good time for you to receive the order for the release date. We would recommend using the priority (first class) service for a pre-order for added assurance that you will receive your order on the day of release."

Perhaps I should have paid the extra 95p for the priority service! :indeed:

I did, i think thats generally what priority shipping means, dont think any pre order with standard delivery has ever arrived on time for me, otherwise whats the point of paying extra to get the same item on the same day.

I'm stingy - I'd rather get it for cheaper and a few days later! :heh:

Thing is, with Royal Mail you can never guarantee when stuff is going to arrive anyway!

[Deltatri3]

or at all lol. :p :p :p :p :p

Has anyone's copy of Sonic Rush shipped yet? Was reading on another forum and someone said their copy had shipped. I didn't pay for priority shipping though. :indeed:

Strange, I got Mario Kart DS on the Thursday, 1 day before it was released officially - and that was with free delivery. I pre-ordered Metroid Prime there, might wait till Wild World is up.
