Hello,

I know Nokkon knows but most probably don't. I moderate the Shopto forum and know the CEO fairly well, chat to him on MSN most days.

The EU problem has been identified and is fixed so soon you shall be able to have the option of choosing between EU or UK copies (where available). We already do indicate which copy it is (Look for the Flag on the page!).

Our recorded deliveries are generally next day (with a few exceptions if your very remote). And as mentioned we'll send a replacement.

Since quite a few of you use Shopto, I'll try and post when Igor (Shopto CEO) gives me a headsup on an upcoming good deal. Likewise if you've got a problem, give me a shout and I'll try and get it sorted.

I'm a bit annoyed at shopto now.
I cancelled my pre-order for Fable 2 a couple of weeks ago so I could get it cheaper with Tesco. Just checked my e-mail to find they've dispatched it and taken the money.
Sure I can return it for a refund but it's the hassle of it which annoys me. It's lucky I can cover £38 for a week or so until I receive my money back otherwise I'd have more trouble on my hands.
Puts me off pre-ordering from them again tbh.

Are you sure you fully followed the Cancellation through to the end, there's several pages to go through to confirm Cancellation. You should have then received a cancellation email.

As far as I know I did. I remember it being surprisingly awkward compared to the likes of Gameplay and taking more clicks.
It'll no doubt be their word against mine which I'll lose as I don't have e-mails from two weeks ago stored anymore, but I'll definitely remember the problem next time round and be less keen to go there for pre-orders.

Shopto are cowboys imho.

GAME are spot on always use them for pre-orders. But not the high street well supermarkets are released games at £30 or less, Fifa 09, Pes 2009, Star Wars FU.

Hope they have GoW 2 for £30

The reason I was annoyed was the picture of the game on the site has a giant UK BBFC 15 in the corner unlike the 18 PEGI one on the box I received.

I understand that things have been changed since and it's now more implicit, but this fact alone plus the giant Not for Sale in UK on the back of the copy I received I'm sure would be enough to cover me if I went to the trading standards office.

It was really the "Take note of the PAL EU VERSION if you scroll down to the bottom of the page, and take care in the future" as the curt reply from customer services that pissed me off if I'm honest though.

edit: looking now it still has "PAL - UK and European version" at the top of the page misleading the fact the game is in fact not the UK version.

I think the UK & European means you may get either. As I said their working on being able to choose when their is an option.
