Mario Kart 8

[MrKirov]

My console still hasn't come from Tesco This is going to be my PS4 horror story all over again isn't it

[Daragon]

Have you had a dispatch email from tesco? Wouldn't they use a courier for it?

[MrKirov]

Yeah, had a dispatch. But no tracking number was given, called and got one for it, it says it's out for delivery now- but left the depot at 7.17am :/

I always have trouble with these things so quite nervous- plus the people who are in are only in until 4 so ideally it needs to be before then.

Plus the tracking number they give me was a few digits to log so I cut it down and played with it to
Track it. It says it's in my area so I guess it's the right one!

I stupidly order from Argos and apparently no one there know how their orders work. There's no details telling me if its shipped or not. Called last night and the woman said it'd ship directly from Nintendo and Argos have nothing much to do with it... Called just now and another woman said it might've shipped last night or early today. Erm right. Should've just reserved it this morning to pick it up from store.

[VR46]

Yep just picked mine up from Argos instore. Free copy of Metroid Other M with it too.
Tesco didn't have any stock out on my way in to work so snooze ya lose and all that.

Apparently it's fifty quid instore at GAME with no freebies. Bargain.

[shaffy_oppa]

I called again after realising I paid ?10 more for the privilege of a pre-order. Cancelled the order and reserved it in my local. Will go ahead and pick it up at some point today... maybe... still undecided.

[nakamura]

Ordered from Tesco. Was dispatched on Wed. I had no idea their feedback was so poor online as local store service has always been excellent.

[VR46]

With a big release is it really worth the stress of ordering online I wonder, sure you save a few quid and may get it earlier, but on the opposite end of the scale you (only really) hear the horror stories.

At home we only seem to get post once a month on a Saturday too for some reason. Far too risky for me to warrant a fiver saving.

[nakamura]

I ordered an entire console so the saving was worth it. The deal was very good.

[VR46]

True in that respect yes, I was more talking in general with new releases.

[nakamura]

Yeah. I'm not devastated if it doesn't come today, it's more the barrage of horror stories regarding packing etc. Extremely surprising from such a major player.

[BIG EDD]

Just a heads up I just went onto club nintendo and I was able to register for my free game even though I registered mario kart 8 on Thursday nightlooks like Nintendo reversed their decision
When I selected my game and filled in the quick questionnaire,I got my code immediately

[James Mc Fadden]

Just to clarify the exact same thing happened to me. Registered Thursday night and downloaded the free game code Friday evening. No problems! Wonderful 101 took ages to download though but hey, it was free. Yay Nintendo!!!

[dataDave]

What a shower of ****e, let's penalise the PAYING customer!!! Watchdog the bandits!

Si I go into Tesco at midnight (which I won't by the way), buy the game, rush home and register for Free game and get screwed! WTF!!

sorry if already mentioned elsewhere, but you know that free game they give you? you also get wii u premium points for it. just checked, after claiming free Monster Hunter and i was created with ?42 worth of points, so now i have another free ?5 towards NES Remix 2. thanks nintendo!

I wonder how Jim feels about this deal now?

[VR46]

Knew Nintendo would come through in the end. Just a question when and how much pressure from the interweb was needed.
