What are people recomending at the moment, I'm after somewhere which delivers on delivery date and isn't too expensive, any recomendations?

I'm a Gameplay man myself. Good prices (though not always the best), but simply the most reliable site I've ever used. They're never failed to get a game to me on time, with about 90% of my orders coming the day earlier. Couldn't recommend them enough

Beat me to it. Tend to use gameplay over other places because, as Davey says, you tend to get them a day or 2 earlier.

Shopto.net seem the best these days and I'm a long time Gameplay customer but they're not as good as they used to be since merging with Game.

I'll actually go with Game rather than gameplay now for the reward points.

I didn't notice much of a difference when they merged.
I always go with ShopTo though.

Even with reward points etc.. I class good customer service should anything go wrong above all and for that ShopTo and Gameplay are in a class of their own. Whoever has the best deal between those two, go there, I'd even pay an extra couple of quid more there than elsewhere.

I can't say enough good things about either.

ShopTo also send it Recorded Delivery and text your mobile as soon as it's on the van so you know you're definitely getting it next day, which is a very good thing.

I have always wanted to use Shopto.net as the prices seem spot on but the site looks, dare I say it amateurish. What really puts me off is the flashing mobile number. It looks like a work from home enteprise and I wonder if my CC details would be safe with them. Prob a complete over reaction on my part. For orders, I usually use Game for the reward points especially on pre orders.

I look on Gameplay, Game and shopto.net now and see whoever is cheapest at the time

Definitely an overreaction Loki.
Some of the best companies I've used have terrible sites (Movietyme comes to mind).

They're even nominated for a Golden Joystick this year for best retailer. (I voted them ahead of Gameplay for the first time in my life).

Yeah shopto really are great, as Nokkon has said their customer service is awesome.

I had a couple of bad mix ups with Gameplay just after they merged with Game so it's kinda soured my thoughts of them.
