I think it's meant to be a spend £30 save £15 voucher, but it worked on both for me. Didn't think it would work for the Nav but it did. It's on HDUK so probably been cancelled by now.

[Jebus]

That's a shame, wouldn't have minded a nav for £5

[Matt]

Lol yeah. Just checked and I'd been charged £21 for the Nav. Called them to cancel the order, said I wasn't impressed, and the guy cancelled the original order but offered to let me re-order it for £6! So I'm due a £21 refund. Then they've taken another £21 for the new order, and I'll get £15 back once I get the item. Or something.

We'll see if it bites me on the arse in a few weeks. Going to have to watch this carefully. More trouble than it's worth....

[Matt]

And the Move controller order itself has been cancelled. Though they've take £33.95 from my account.

Too much hassle.

I ordered the starter set from Woolworths using that same code! Paid £30 for it. Hope the code is not dodgy. I ordered the Navi separately for £18

[Matt]

The code is invalid I was told. Took me two calls to take care of both orders (different accouny numbers) - they're saying the code isn't for their site, which I pointed out was bloody stupid. I suggest you cancel ASAP.

[davek22]

Cheers I will cancel. Just checked and they charged me full price and are now saying there will be a delay due to demand. Joke company

[davek22]

You can get the starter set for about £38 from Argos with their 15% off pre orders code

Well, like we always tell people on here when they moan about the latest 6/10 that's been awarded to generic driving game X, look to multiple sources for opinions. There are insane people on here who'd give Demon's Souls less than a perfect 10. Yes I know, madness!

I'd give Demon Soul's 2/10... but only because I still can't get off the freakin first level Yes... MUST TRY HARDER!

As for the Move stuff, I'm not too interested in the mini game/sports stuff, that is soooo 2006/2007. However I wanted to replay Heavy Rain again anyway, and I loved the Wii controls for games such as Metroid so KillZone 3, SOCOM 4 and such using Move also make it look like a fairly essential bit of kit.

I always wanted a strategy game to use Wii controls too, so RUSE looks like it could be worth a punt.

Lol yeah. Just checked and I'd been charged ?21 for the Nav. Called them to cancel the order, said I wasn't impressed, and the guy cancelled the original order but offered to let me re-order it for ?6! So I'm due a ?21 refund. Then they've taken another ?21 for the new order, and I'll get ?15 back once I get the item. Or something.

We'll see if it bites me on the arse in a few weeks. Going to have to watch this carefully. More trouble than it's worth....

A visit to woolworth's is not worth it.

[davek22]

A visit to woolworth's is not worth it.

Damn right. I tried to cancel order online and you have to complete a form. They ask for your customer number but I can't find that anywhere. Tried ringing and it's shut. I should have thought twice knowing they are a branch of Littlewoods!

[Matt]

Been a right pain in the arse. Now I have to check my account every day to ensure 1 they give me back the money they took, and 2 they don't "re-charge" you later which they have been known to do to others, apparently.

Anyone that's played Resi 4 on the Wii confirm those controls are the same? Can't believe he didn't bother making the most obvious comparison in there, and I know the general consensus on the Wii control scheme is positive.

Thats identical to Resi 4 on the Wii. In itself that sounds pretty decent, but Resi 5 had a much more modern control style. Unlike Resi 4, you would move your character with the left stick, and your aim with the right. This would let you strafe, while the Resi 4 control essentially controls like the first five Resident Evil games. Meaning you cant move sideways, you have to stand perfectly still while turning to the desired angle. Seeing as Resi 5 is designed with strafing in mind, I can't help but think this would really hamper the gameplay. Had initially planned to pick up this game with Move, but now i'm not so sure. I might still pick it up, but could end playing through it with a normal controller again.

[saturn-gamer]

I've read it all, It sounds good to me. I've never used strafe in RE5 anyway (and still racked up SS scores), thought strafing was implemented very bad and last minute like.

Motion A sounds useless, but I think its there for people who will just use the DS3 instead of the Navigation controller. It would limit DS3's usage to just LS. What I also like is knifing, its just a matter of shaking the Move when outside of aiming mode. No more special knife button. Then the shooting with the face button, I've thought about it and it makes sense too. Trigger is used for Aiming mode, which I might prefer.

A girlfriend of mine had just ordered RE5 Gold because she wants me to give her some new co-op love. So I might as well pick up the Move for this game.

[Jebus]

I suppose even if the Move controls aren't amazing, it's still the full Resi 5 with all DLC for just over a tenner. Great game and I'm tempted to get it again for some co-op fun.
