I can live with Pixel Electronics being the reported and speculated teenager from his bedroom doing a bit drop shipping. What bothers me is the lack of transparency, there is no phone number you can phone. Returns and faulty items have been reported to be a nightmare.

I'd be annoyed if that happened to me and what's worse is that Rakuten products can't be paid via Paypal so couldn't make a claim against him if necessary.
Like it's happened with GameSeek, i.e, wanted to return an unopened game and they took two and half weeks to reply. I'll say GameSeek's great if only for purchase but for returns they're a nightmare, same goes for Zavvi. Probably.

not a great deal at all.
it will be once it's sub £200 with 2 physical games.
maybe £170 with New Mario Bros U...

But for those needing to fulfill there little kids christmas wishes to Santa, its a decent deal with 10 days to go until Xmas. I am not going to get depressed when price crashes early next year as I didn't have the option of holding out.
If the going rate right now for the Wii U was £500, would I have paid it? Absolutely, my kid lives in Mario Land and his main worries and concerns in life are defeating the evil Bowser and rescuing Peach (ah the simple life when we were kids!). I do of course think £500 would be a rip off, just saying I would have begrudgingly paid that to make for a magical Xmas.

I ordered this on Black Friday from Rakuten/ Pixel (for the same price) - it turned up less than a week later with the promised adaptors and very well packed, so I was happy enough. Might have been lucky though.....

For info - I also managed to get £16.56 Quidco with this - so from an original price of £230 it ended up costing closer to £180. Not bad at all! :smiley:
