    This has just been mentioned on the XBLA thread but easily overlooked. Limbo and Spelunky are both available for 480msp via the scratch & match consolation prize through the 'sales & specials' app.

    I really can't rate Spelunky highly enough.
    Woh - that's worth bumping. Great games both.

    This post is unsuitable for those with a high rumour-sensitivity.

    I'm guessing it might very well be the same two games you've got in your order, as you posted the links to them. ;)

    I ordered them together, to get over the $25 free delivery limit, but after hearing from a friend how ParcelFarce is charging him £12 "handling fee" for an item he ordered from Japan, I'm now rather concerned what they'll try charging me if it gets caught at customs.
    I ordered Ace Attorney: Miles Edgeworth, which came to $29.90, and I didn't get a customs charge for that. I can't find the jiffy bag to see what amount they declared on the front.

    I can't even find what the figures are now - I thought you only got charged over a certain amount.

    Found it: 'Goods with a value exceeding £15, for commercial items including internet/mail order purchases, or £36 in the case of gifts between private individuals, are generally subject to Customs charges.'

    I haven't ordered from Play-Aisa in a few years, but back then they told me they'd mark packages down at half value (no lower, it seems) if requested. It might be too late for you, but you could try sending an email and see if you get any joy.

    If you get a customs charge, you'll have to pay a handling fee of £8 to Royal Mail. Parcel Force charge more but they only deliver larger packages.

    Zavvi keep trying to force me to use this '10% off' code:

    2685-C26B-48B8

    Please, somebody, use the blinkin' thing and get them off my back.

    Cheers caligari. I had a quick poke around, but nothing for me.

    Although those wanting to try the best Aliens game currently available from Zavvi can grab it for £4.50. ;)

    Edit: don't know if it's single-use, but a friend of mine bought Colonial Marines the other day, so I made him use that code on Dark Souls: PtD to cheer him up. Thanks!

    I posted about Zelda: Ocarina of Time (3DS) being £19.99 on the eShop but someone on another forum said it wasn't much of a deal!

    Awww, still keep your post! If someone points out that it's been cheaper elsewhere in the past, it only provides a bit of pricing context to somebody who's interested. And if somebody finds it cheaper elsewhere... nice! :)

    I'm not Captain 3DS, but I think the download would have more value for me than a boxed copy anyway, as I wouldn't have to swap carts.

    YenRug, have you had part of your Play-Asia order cancelled? I got an email this morning. Will have to contact them now to get the rest of my PayPal payment refunded.

    @Locky Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you, though it does mean I'm now below the custom's threshold.

    Michelle Booblay!

    It's still £8.99. Perhaps you have to be gold to get the deal? I think it may end tomorrow (19th) but i'm not too sure.

    I could give you a 48 hour or week xbox live code if that would work but I think it would still consider you silver.

    It's not on sale on the Irish god so perhaps it's just the UK?

    Ah yeah, that must be it. Shame, its's a great deal. I got it from Shopto for £20 a couple of months ago and I thought that was a good deal!

    GAME are currently offering a downloadable 12 month PlayStation Plus subscription for £29.99.

    They usually coincide the PS+ discount to run when Sony offer it via PSN, but on this occasion it appears to be just GAME offering it cheaper!
