Thanks OP.. Heat added

Oh :disappointed::laughing:

Bananas added chichi...



:laughing:

Quite the repertoire of jokes you have don't you

Could have been worse... I could have taken 5 years and then charged you for it too :laughing:

It's taken you over a week to think up that post?

The Wii U was released in 2012. 5 years later and £300 for a better battle mode :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Some people are such mugs :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Ordered yesterday arrived this afternoon not bad!

Mine was to big to fit in letterbox apparently :confused:

Ordered 2:30pm Thursday and yodel just delivered. Sweet on day of release. £33.30 With a friends staff discount. Thanks op again :sunglasses:

Just got it.. royal mail through letterbox

Mine was Yodel.

What company do Tesco use to deliver with?

Mine's arrived. Thanks again!

click and collect is working now - just tested and can collect tomorrow

What if you just don't go? I doubt they will chase it up as it was their mistake.

Mine came today, only I was sent 2 copies... I phoned up and they said that's a mistake (obviously) so now I have to go drop the second copy in Tesco.... dammit, I wish I didn't phone up!

Ordered 11PM Wednesday night and.... Hello Mario

Mine arrived already, did not expect that today!

Amazon Prime are doing this for £35 with delivery for 6th May, if you're having issues with Tesco:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/mario-kart-8-deluxe-switch-34-99-amazon-uk-36-99-without-prime-2676226

I gave up in the end, I had a GAME card with money on it, I ordered it for the inflated price and will click and collect there, damn having a job and no free time right? Haha.

Can't even get it from Tesco for click n collect with the discount code now :disappointed:

If I order this morning any idea when they might deliver it? Over the weekend? I would click and collect, but apparently cannot. :disappointed:

Hurrah! say what you like haters i dont care ill throw a red shell at you :smiley:

Lmao of course no one should pre order games. They're an unlimited digital commodity. They're not going to run out! Wait until release day, then buy it if reviews are good and users are happy. Too many games these days ship broken, and developers don't care because people like you will pre order them anyway.

While MK8 Deluxe isn't a game for which this is particularly relevant, being a fairly known quantity at this point, in general it's fairly undeniable that 'pre-order culture' is detrimental to consumers as a whole. In the vast majority of cases, there won't be any issue over supply shortages, so unless there's a reduced price or a limited edition available, there's little benefit to consumers from pre-ordering, which bypasses the ability to look to reviewers for a gauge of a game's quality prior to purchase.

Unreleased?! Are you suggesting people shouldn't pre-order games? 94 on Metacritic and a reduced pricetag is incentive enough, clearly - especially for those unable to play it previously.

Funny thing is we actually still own our Wii u AND Mario kart 8!! We having been playing the "3 year old" game for 3 years and love it still. Now we can trade in the Wii u copy or sell for a tenner to put towards this version. Can't wait to try out the new battle mode in our office with the other 3 or 4 switch owners who are getting this too! (Queue grumpy troll telling me im paying nintendo for a battle mode on a 3 year old game etc etc)

I know right? some people are so boring and also they don't realise it'll feel like a brand new game to those who didn't own a wii u and we can play this amazing game anywhere we want now :-)

Yawn!! So negative it's hilarious :laughing:

I enojoyed this back when it was an original title

Feel free to keep feeding Nintendo premium money for rehashed titles, and boast about how you're paying more for a 3 year old game.

Got a dispatch email anyway.

Thanks

Used the £10 off £75 to get Mario Kart and Switch 1-2 for £66
My son will be happy on his Birthday.

Jeez!! :smile:
Was going to start arguing back but do you know what.. I'm over the moon with this deal, had an email to say dispatched, so while me and the family have a great time tomorrow playing this you carry on trolling people on here fella!!

Just got a dispatch notification!
Dispatched at 19:31 according to the tracking information.
Nice.

Damn! Cheap! Heat. I want a gaming laptop as have a gaming pc and ain't used Xb One s in 5 months and a Switch I'd love but atm the price is way too high. £200 or lower is my biting point.

Tesco often don't update until late or not at all in some cases...but generally deliver on time.
My GTA V order still says it's not sent yet I got it on release days years ago :smile:

Thanks OP. I'd decided to wait for a price drop on this, as I have the Wii U version, but this is a good as a price drop - ordered.

4 hours to go....

The same, does it mean I will get the game tomorrow?

Yep, me too. It's so much better than the Wii U, it's thinner, lighter and the screen is so much better when playing on the gamepad.

nvm my status is now dispatched

Good idea......that's what I did.

Considering Mario Kart 8 was the best game on the Wii U why not enjoy the better version on Switch with new games to look forward to like Splatoon 2 and Mario Odyssey etc.

My order status is dispatched. Thanks lads!

A meme from 2011. It's almost older than you.

Ordered, thanks OP

Ordered mine at 7.52am today. Hasn't dispatched. Said it will arrive for release day when ordering though...

wtf

Mate, have you seen the size of Switch game cases? While far bigger than the cartridge, they're still dinky.

This is a deal site. People raving about their false economies will get called out.

I ordered this with a Switch, Pro Controller a case and Zelda... but this decided to get lumped in with the other items and delayed them all till the 5th, but I get the console tomorrow. I just canceled because there was noway in getting Mario shipped next week, every else tomorrow while having the £40 off in total.

So annoying.

£33.30 yeh go on i'll bite at that.... mk8 portable is essential really

Somebody do something nasty in your corn flakes this morning or are you always like this?

You got a £3 discount.

£10 was a gift card. so effectively money.
£4 vouchers could have been used on anything.

In fact, you lost money. The £4 vouchers could have been tripled, if not quadrupled in value on something else.

Mario Kart 8 REHASH-LUXE cost you £45. Way to go.

£37 for an unreleased, barely improved re-release of a game that only came out in 2014. And somehow it's the hottest deal of the day? Console gamers really have the strangest attitude towards money... Cooooolllld.

same for me

suppose it also depends on how much it costs you to get to a local store, is it worth 2 trips to save £5?

I have this game and all the DLC on Wii U. But I'm thinking of selling my Wii U and all my Wii stuff so that I can buy this and a Switch. Nintendo have done a job on me.

What i mean is buy the online one for £37 and wait for that to be delivered. When that arrives, return that one for £42 which I can buy tomorrow if that makes sense

Good deal voted hot and pre-ordered :smiley:

Yes you can....same game with same barcode...its more expensive in-store though £42.

I got mario kart 8 deluxe and the joy con wheel set for £30.98 on very with £30 off a £60 spend!

they must have run out of their first allocation then as my Amazon copy ordered a few days ago is being delivered tomorrow.

Bit on the pricey side for one remaster ain't it

Can you buy an in-store copy and return the online one as if it is the in-store one? Just wanted to know just in case the order isn't delivered by tomorrow.

Same here. Hmmm.

For £37 I don't mind waiting another week if the arrival date is going to be the 5th of May.

I will, preordered elsewhere weeks ago and despatched this morning :stuck_out_tongue:

Yep, says it on the banner above the item that pre orders will be dispatched for delivery on launch date.
It does say May the 5th on my order details page though. :neutral_face:

Must be £13 more expensive with no resale value then :smiley:

Why not?? Tesco Direct confirm on their website pre-orders will arrive on launch day.

They will send 1st Class Royal Mail 24 hour delivery today.

You won't get this 2morrow

Thanks op :smile: £33.30 with staff discount!

Thank you, ordered!
£37 is a great price.

Good deal, already got my fiver off MK8 (plus £2 prime discount) from Amazon last time they had some £10 off £50 deal.

Good deal for those who waited though.

that's ok, just ordered from the site

May be a good deal but Nintendo can gtf with their reha*****.

Not a bad deal, just ordered a copy from very with a £20 credit to account for spending £50... So mario kart + socks £30.99 delivered to local collect+ :smiley:

5th of may delivery

Says the same with Amazon as well.

For me it says 'cannot be used with any other vouchers'??

I know but mine generally does with the first party releases. Although if you ask them on their Twitter they will let you know if a specific store is going to be stocking stuff anyway.

My delivery estimate is Friday 5th May. Hope that's not the case

I had already pre-ordered MK8-DX via Tesco for £40 (its been dispatched), so did exactly that with Bomberman R, will be available at my local little Tesco Express store 3pm tomorrow onwards (about 1pm usually). Couldn't resist any further at £35 lol

I believe it will come tommorow.

Yeah it feels like they **** up battle mode on 8, so now we need to spend £300 + £40 just to play it

As if it needed to get more tempting, I've just realised that if you use the £20 off code for the console, and the £5 off code for the game (presumably on a separate transaction / account), you can get both for £296.99 as posted here!

Can't wait for tomorrow. Cracking price :smiley:

Really tempted by this, even though I'll then have to buy a Nintendo Switch to go with it!

But will it fit you think? I thought it might go back to depot but maybe you're right

Hmmmm, I got one of these "When you spend £5 on electrical" receipts from Tesco and used it to pre-order mario kart earlier this week.

I was not aware the same code could be used by multiple accounts!

So many poor quality GIFs in this thread. Thought I'd better pop by and show you what real GIFs look like.

Why, has your letterbox gone with you too?

But no ones in to take delivery

You've obviously got internet so no reason why you can't order it while you're there?

Thanks! Ordered and heat added.

I want this! But I'm in Spain til May 4th.. is there an expiry date to this deal?

Well its not just a basic re-release, they've added a whole host of Multiplayer options, it includes all the dlc from MK8 and fixed some of the framerate problems and an increase in resolution. I would bet my house that MK9 will be coming in the future. They just released this one to help fill the gaps when there is no other major releases.

I know what you mean, I've got it for wii u as well but buying it for switch cos it means I can play it on the plane when I go as well as on the bus etc.

I've had Mario Kart 8 for nearly 2 years, I can't honestly believe they have rereleased the game on their new console, the first time they have ever not released a brand new Mario Kart for a new console, it just doesn't make me want to buy a Switch at all at this moment in time!!

I used the £10 off voucher and got this and 2 for £40 Xbox one games, won't get them until next week but not bothered by that,I'm happy to wait.

I'm guessing that's with using clubcard points? It's £92 using voucher

Pro controller and Mario Kart 8 for £68 bargain!

Delivery only

I can't seem to be able to use my points on this for some reason... I can bring it down to 19.50 with all of them. Anyone knows why?

Almost certainly not, I'm afraid.

Great price but going digital on this one

not a lot of stores stock Nintendo items

Wonder if Amazon will price match this, given that its with a code.

Nice price, but no way I'm cartridge juggling with Mario kart. Never going to sell it - must be digital :smiley:

Going to be an expensive day, I'm going to get both :P

Two games that I'll play for the lifetime of the Switch though without a doubt! :smiley:

You will un-compliantly will get it on release day? You going to punch the postman when he delivers it?! XD

Free returns :smiley:

Nice find chanchi, heat :smiley:

Heated

voted hot ty op

Not sure whether to bother with this on day one or wait. Had a good fill on the WiiU version and Puyo Puyo's out today...

Too late already on the way from Amazon. Lost three nuggets

Can't cancel my amazon as its preparing for dispatch :disappointed: they say to refuse delivery but it's small enough so I know they'll post it & then I'll have to pay returns postage costs

Hot!

I couldn't use my club card vouchers with the code for some reason.. anyone else have trouble?

cheers buddy. saved me £3 quid of my Amazon order which I managed to cancel just before despatch! Heated...

I want this purely to have portable mario kart 8. but my wallet keeps saying No! You already bought the game and the dlc for Wii U.. Damn you Nintendo! Could've at least added a bunch of new tracks. And more than a couple of characters. Not fussed about the battle mode.

Hot just need switch now

Heat for an actually decent price :smiley:.

Wahooooo! Got mine £23!! combination of original post (voted Hot) a gift card and some clubcard vouchers. Only downside is gotta wait but for a £17 saving Im ok with that!



EDIT: Hmmm seems it may arrive on release day according to the main tesco pre order page!! HOT!

Pre-orders Games
Be among the first to play new titles when you pre-order the latest games at Tesco direct. With a purchase completed, waiting will be a little easier in the knowledge that the game will be shipped straight to your home on the day of release, so you can enjoy fantastic gameplay as soon as possible.

My amazon's coming tomorrow

Hot op, but for the sake of £3 I would rather get it on release with Amazon.

They did this last year on some people who preorder a game but got it few days after release date

I'm staying with Amazon, at least i know i will defiantly get it on release date

"Delivery on or before Friday 5 May 2017" is a bit of a dealbreaker :neutral_face: Unless I'm missing something and and it is 100% release day delivery?

Brill deal, gonna go buy mine instore on Friday though bc got same £5 off £40 spend as a till coupon the other day :smiley:

good point, well made! i hate this site, adiós to £72 it is!

might keep my Amazon order at £40 but use this code to get bomber man for £35..... heat added

Thanks. Cancelled Amazon Prime order at £40 and saved £3 getting this plus clubcard points. Heat added :smiley:

Cheers for that. I'd just put a 99p sim card in but your options are more use! Nice one Chanchi :smiley:

Can anyone find something that qualifies within the offers that is as close to 1p as possible lol? I want Farpoint VR for £65 :smile:

Thanks

Heat added :innocent:

£5 off £40 spend on electrical and gaming.

Also a £10 off £75 and a £20 off £150 on the site too. :smile:

The code also works on your 2 for £40 deal making it 2 for £35!

Nice find :smiley:

Heat. :smile:

That's like rubbing salt in the wound :disappointed: . :laughing:

don't feel bad his is the extended version :laughing:

Heat :smiley:

What is the terms to the code?

Thanks OP.. Heat added

Bananas added chichi...
