Smyths have expanded the range of pre-order games for which you can use their "PRE5" £5 discount code. This looks to be the pick of the bunch for me, just bear in mind that unless your order is at least £30, delivery costs a minimum of £2.99.

Oh, there's plenty that it works with, as I alluded to in the deal narrative - I just think that this is one particularly worth highlighting. :smiley:
Can anyone find something priced at £1.01 to make the order up to £30 and avoid the delivery charge?

I'm unsure if this'll drop sub £20 fairly quick as most remasters have done.
Do I purchase now or hold it out.

If you've played it already I'd say hold out. I'm sure there are plenty of decent new games to take up your time until the inevitable price drop!

I think that if there's something you defiantly want ie mafia 3 preorder it with the code because I doubt they'll drop cheaper than that for preorder. But if you're unsure just wait, and see what reviews say about it

Personally, I'd wait. I'll probably get this, but only when it drops to a price that's sub £20. There's a lot of gameplay, but it's gameplay I've covered for top dollar on the 360. Slightly annoyed that they didn't make the 360 version backwards compatible.

If youve played it before there is no harm in waiting.
Ordered thanks. Hopefully this will remain the best pre order price.

I've played some of it a few years ago, I think I can hold off for a price drop.

This is a day one purchase for me. I've played it before, excessively, and I'm going to play it again!
Best price yet I believe, and only a stones throw for me to pick up. Heat added, cheers for sharing Illusionary :smiley:

Bethesda should have bundled a BC version of Oblivion with this like they did for FO 3 with FO 4.
Would have been well worth the 30+ price tag then. But as I brought the GOTY edition of Skyrim for the 360 for £15, paying double that for the same game with slightly better graphics is just not worth it for me.
It's a great game but I don't think a 5 year old game is worth 30+ notes.

What's the chances of the PS4 version not working properly like the PS3 version did?

I'm with the wait for £20 crowd on this one. Great deal, but hard to pay this much when you've already spent 150 hours + playing the same game. Superb for those people who didn't play first time around though :laughing:
Personally wish they'd done Oblivion, which would have benefitted more from a remaster.
Cenobite

They'd have to do a lot more with Oblivion than improve the graphics. Loved the game, but it was pretty glitchy.
Would be good to play the Sheogorath DLC again though. He cracked me up. :laughing:

Yes, exactly why they should have remastered it from the ground up :smiley:

i have just pre ordered 2 games from these, i was not charged any shipping and each order was done separately to make full use of the PRE5 discount, otherwise it is just £5 of the whole order.

Did you need to use different emails/logins to use the code more than once?

Anyone received this pre order yet? Out today, received and email of acknowledgement 3 days ago along with an order number, no tracking details as of yet though. Presumably it won't come today.

I haven't received mine either, I called up the customer service line and I was told that the delay may be on royal mail's side, I shouldn't have pre ordered with Smyths again, as I had the same problem when I pre ordered Fifa 17 from them :disappointed: Furthermore the customer service woman told me that it may not even come until Monday. :disappointed: Never going to pre order from Smyths again.
