Guess the staff wanted it for themselves, just rang asking if they would put it by for me to collect and their answer was we only have one in stock and it's a faulty one? Err how do you no it's faulty surely it should be sealed in a box and if it was a customer return it would be sent back and not added to stock system, peed off a bit now

Wrong. Faulty stock is returned to stock until its sent to warehouse. Highly possible it was faulty

7 Oct 161#13
Thanks for the heads up, says low stock online in Wycombe and you've just saved me a trip there. Shame they had no stock, bet they have as staff have told me they haven't before and then a friend bought one a day later at full price.

anyone know how I can get the mario kart transferred to my New 3ds without losing content on my new 3ds? that is my main console and would get this for mario kart and give the console to lil brother. Thanks

Not possible. You can only purchase at online prices and have items delivered to a store. If you want instore price, you have to purchase instore.

Wouldn't be surprised if staff keep them and sell them. A mate who worked in Game told me that always happens, and I found the same with previous bargains.

MarkToTheMax to heydude
7 Oct 16#41
Got one at the metro also, did they put their own Game seals on the box so you can't open it? just because it's strange there wasn't nornal seals already.

Called Glasgow Fort to double check:
"Sorry we're all sold out"
"But your website says in-stock"
"Yeah it's because a staff member has reserved one to buy at the end of their shift"

ryuichiaraki

lol because i live in slough and saw that someone got this deal from slough so i was wondering if there is still a few left but i can't go today seeing as the store is closing in a a minute.

Guys how do you reserve stock. Been trying for ages to nab one :stuck_out_tongue:
Meshen
8 Oct 16#89
Unless I'm missing something they've stopped you checking stock availability for this?? It shows up for other items I look at, but not this. Anyway, GAME staff are prolific for saving these for themselves. I'm all for perks of the job, but they do take the **** a bit - it's every single time.

His too slow?
Do you mean you are (or you're), or do you really mean his too slow?
turniplord
8 Oct 16#92
I don't think it will work. if you had a 3ds and were coming to this 2ds you would go through the transfer from 3ds to this one, it moves your licences but you get Mario Kart free as its tied to the console until a NNID is activated on the device.
You want to take this game off here and put it on another device, so it will be the reverse and you will lose your purchases on the 3ds. You could move licences to the 2ds then back but I think you can only do 1 transfer every 6 months - unless they changed that?
rubiq
8 Oct 16#93
store search shown Manchester fort had low stock. rang to check before setting off and the girl that answered said they had em in but they were 79.99 and there wasn't any deals like that in their store.
paulday564
8 Oct 16#94
That's precisely the point - they're not paid well enough to be professional. In their shoes I would do exactly the same.

i just called edinburgh and he knew i must wanted to ask about this deal he was quick to say there is none and there was only 1?! Zzzz
Tireeq
8 Oct 16#100
Did some reading and looks like the cool down for transfers is 1 week. However, it also looks like you can't transfer from New 3ds to older 3ds or 2ds so I can't move my licenses back and forth. ah well.

Travelled over an hour to Enfield, got there and the guy told me they have one but it's faulty (thought to myself hmmm that sounds familiar) ...told him Enfield showed up as good stock and without saying anything else he went to the back and came out with one and whilst I was purchasing mine another lady came in to get one and I was like so where are these coming out from now then?! his reasoning was that they 'just got a delivery in now' bulls**t!! anyways he did say after they have about 7 left so might be worth the journey for some fellow HUKDealers :laughing: CHEERS OP :smile:

Could've been returned faulty, when something gets returned to a shop it gets added back onto the system and then sent back when they have enough to fill a box.
Some stock stays on the system for weeks before being sent back.
Work in retail, you'll understand.

dont bother, i had the last one yesterday. Unless they dig out another one from somewhere...
I've just travelled all the way to Sheffield because it says they're in stock and they've just told me there's none in stock. What is the point in the stock checker on the website?

camaj
8 Oct 16#128
I just came back and he said the last one sold just after 9am this morning. Could be lying to me I suppose but I've got no way of proving it.
I disagree. There's nothing unprofessional about it at all. If it bothers anyone they could probably get a job in Game and do it themselves but they'd be saving £40 or so, I bet many here would be £40 better off after a few hours working their current job.
