For some reason Amazon has the explorers edition for the same price as the base game! Explorers Edition is about £70-80 elsewhere so a great deal while it lasts. Only £42.99 if you have prime as well.
Potentially even cheaper! meherenow Don't forget the extra £5 off!

Contains three expansion packsScorched Earth (available) and two completely new worlds (as they are available).
Every expansion pack has 300 hours of additional content, which leads to a total of 900 hours of additional gameplay.

It's multiplayer so in theory you can play it forever, but in terms of things to do provided by the actual game, that can also be done in single player, there's nowhere near that amount of content. You can easily see the whole island, build a bunch of bases and tame a bunch of dinos in under 100 hours. Scorched Earth adds a new map and dinos, with more emphasis on survival, but if you're bored of the base game, you probably won't get a huge amount out of it since it's mostly doing the same stuff again.
Also the game performs poorly (yes still, and especially in multiplayer) and has always had poor netcode, meaning dinos struggle to hit you once there's more than 30-40 players on a server.
It is fun though.

They are price matching John Lewis. But John Lewis' listing is clearly an error. So jump on this one whilst you can with codes still active and you are wanting the game.

So now that the game is officially releasing does this mean it's fixed on PS4? Been reading really bad things about its console performance but the concept of the game is so appealing.
Royds to ayerz4291

The core gameplay is the best out there at what it does but the performance is still terrible. In my opinion the game is far from finished and if you want a fluid experience you're going to have to buy a high end PC or Pro. Failing that the only other way to get it to run at a stable rate is to play Single Player.

What am I missing. Why is this a good price for Ark- even if it includes the expansion
voyager123 to sicmay
28 Aug 17#34
because its £70 plus everyplace else?
i really dont understand your statement, if it was only a few quid, yes i could but you are saving over £30 on the RRP!
sicmay to voyager123
28 Aug 17#36
So it being atrociously overpriced everywhere else makes this average to poor price hot?
get that this is ps4 and not pc but the price difference is ridiculous.
voyager123 to sicmay
28 Aug 17#38
dont like it dont buy it, its that simple. but i agree its overpriced(RRP) really should of been £60 at most and £30 for base game
Ashe to sicmay
28 Aug 17#39
What you mean to say is, *your opinion* that it's atrociously overpriced.
If we stick to facts, it's hot because it's the best price by far.

I ordered another game to use the £10 off £75 spend, annoyingly they wont send the other game before the pre order, I'm guessing the code may be the reason.

not surprised with this as had a few items not turn up on release day even with prime, think they are have stock problems with some stuff.
sicmay

Best price is not the same as a good price. If they are all atrociously overpriced then no price is a good price.
And of course it's an opinion
Ashe
28 Aug 17#46
Yes, but I was saying why it's a hot deal - because it's the best price by far.
You may think it's not a good price, but that doesn't mean it's not a 'hot deal' as the votes indicate.

Was going to post this deal yesterday but wanted to keep secret for a little longer in case it gets too much attention and Amazon cancel orders. Hope this doesn't make me seem like a bad greedy person. :relaxed: But yes I think this is really :grin: HOT!!! £37.99 for what is £75 RRP is too good to miss.

Hello,
We’re writing to let you know that the following items have been unexpectedly delayed:
"ARK: Survival Evolved - Explorers Edition (PS4)"
Estimated arrival date: September 21 2017 - October 27 2017
Supposed to come today :angry:
imdoubletrouble
30 Aug 17#76
Mine changed to this, can they really do that? I mean, I had it ordered as a pre-order that was listed as in stock at the time of ordering and a guarantee that it would arrive Wednesday, then it gets changed to a month or more later. Outrageous regardless of the misprice, (price match) what's happening with the people who ordered months ago and because of the pre order price promise had there's down to £44.99, do they just get told, actually no you're not getting your game from us unless you wait an extra month. This is like trying to get everyone to just cancel and go elsewhere. For people who wanted this at it's retail release launch, it's a huge slap to the face. :rage:
eayragt
30 Aug 17#77
Probably the plan, hope enough people cancel so they can despatch next week and make too much of a loss. In same boat - in stock when ordered, delayed. Wonder if they're Sneaky enough to despatch people who preordered earlier now, but not give them their (guaranteed) discount.
Not sure if their preordered guarantee stops them being able to cancel. Legally I assume no as there's no contract until despatch, but I can't see them wanting to cancel preorders as that's a bad precedent to set, and sends people elsewhere in the future.
meherenow
30 Aug 17#78
I can't see them having ANY problems just cancelling the orders if they want.
They'll just send one of the "wrong price listed, mistakes happen" emails and that'll be that - they have done so in the past.

Sorry for this deal letting people down guys. My delivery date has changed as well. Speaking to a guy on Amazon isn't really helping. Been offered £5 promotional credit which doesn't really make up for ruining my day.
