I know it's probably trolling, but people who buy a shed load to make a small profit and leaving others without a chance to get ONE is just despicable. Greed always prevails I guess

When it comes to spending money, I'm always pedantic. :smiley:
Anyway, pleased you got the game for a good price. I'm sure you will enjoy it. :wink:

You're being pedantic. I already have Prime and would rather buy from Amazon. I appreciate someone drawing my attention to it.

Haha well, good luck to them finding many people daft enough to buy 3 year old games off some dodgy bloke from ebay.. When you could get it cheaper at retail anyway. Don't blame anyone taking advantage of anyone that stupid to be honest.
Also, agreed about prime, what money grabbing tosh.. Oh yes, get "free" delivery for something that you're paying a fee for. What a great deal, thanks amazon... Sod that.

Not really. Only if you take a free Prime trial.
If you pay for Prime - you've already pre-paid additional upfront costs towards your postage benefits. So if it's the 'same price' elsewhere with no required upfront costs, then that's effectively cheaper!

Business buyers purchase in bulk at a reduced price and exempt of VAT, then sell at a RRP to make their profit to pay their staff and add on VAT which is then deductible on a business tax.
They are a BUSINESS, not someone who buys a shed load of stock from a retailer to sell on eBay to make a few quid, meaning other ordinary people who would like to purchase at the same level as the common man/ woman, don't get the oppournity to purchase at a deal/ reduced price (what HUKD's is all about!!) because of the greed of others and forced to buy at a higher price from said purchasers ripping people off.
I'm self employed, maybe the British honesty and kindness toward their fellow man has diminished over the need to make a £100 by taking advantage of others? Who knows! Lol
TLDR; it's not business if you go to Tesco and buy all the mince pies at Xmas and sell them all outside for £3 more, that's immoral!
You're right, should have mentioned that price only for Prime subscribers with free postage. Either way great deal, thanks for spotting it.

tbh playing this collection of nostalgic games on xb1 is just like playing minesweeper/solitaire on windows 7. Or actually you can just simply download thousands of game collections on any PC. Pretty sure any **** PC at this decade can run N64 emulators by now. The rest of the x360 titles don't even worth more than 3 quid. I'm surprised the amount of people who don't know free emulators are available on PC....and the roms....ahem...are almost free (if you consider the old game developers don't bother about their copyrights anymore).

This thing is terrible dont waste £7 on it. It doesnt even have the games on a disc. I popped it in and it makes you download the individual games on top of that you have to have the disc in to play! Took it out, deleted the games and now I dont even know where the disc is.

Wish they offered a digital version of this, have to put the disc in just for a quick blast on Jet Pac. First world problems eh?
Oh and £7 is an absolute steal, £50 would be good value for this. Everyone should have this compilation.

£8.99 delivered at Amazon, or Prime membership required, so not really a price match.

Lol well most N64 fans would probably disagree with you. I wasn't the biggest Rare fan but do still think £7 for this is great. To be honest the main game I'd have been interested in from this lot was Goldeneye and we all know what happened to that.
Also related to this nostalgic talk - Got to laugh thinking back to full price N64 carts, over 50 quid most of the time if I remember right.. Hell, wasn't SNES Street fighter 2 turbo like 79.99?.. For basically an update which unlocks the bosses and speeds it up?! Madness.

Not denying my memory plays tricks - done a quick check, and you are almost right. Early Ultimate games cost £5.50 and then went up to £10. I do remember getting Ocean and US Gold games for around £8, but hey - it's over 30 years ago. :laughing:

Yeah our newsagent had a load of the Mastertronic games for 1.99, pocket money well spent!

10 Nov 16#18
WOW! Talk about selective memory!
No, Ultimate games were NOT £15 lol. Sabre Wulf was priced at £9.95, at a time when most "full price" Spectrum games were £5.95 or £6.95, so the price nearly doubled yes. Speccy games usually retailed around £7.95 in the mid to late 80s, usually a quid or two cheaper than their C64 or Amstrad equivalents...

Only that those games are...well, rather... nothing to be excited about, to put things nicely.

That explains why literally every game I bought with my pocket money was absolutely dreadful then, lol.

what a steal! i paid around £20 on release for the nostalgia buzz and it was good value even then ☺

10 Nov 16#14
Those were the Mastertronic ones.
Proper games companies were more expensive - usually about £8-£10, and when Ultimate released games like Sabre Wulf and Alien 8 iirc they cost a whopping £15. And there were plenty of complaints.

We were poor, could only afford a 16K Spectrum, where's Cookie, PSST & Tranz-Am!? :smile:

Remember getting speccy games on tape for like 2 or 3 quid.. The 'premium' ones were 4.99 if I remember rightly.. What a rip off.
