Shopto.net aren't in my best book at the moment.

I bought Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway from them and when it came it was the EU version with "Not For Sale in UK" on the back.

When I sent them an email they replied with basically 'sorry, but tough'.

I'm now severely limited with how I can sell it on so I'm not very happy.

For new games I really don't think you can fault game.co.uk. Points back and for preorders you'll always get them on the Thursday.

With 2nd hand games I generally go for play.com and it's where I've been selling mine.

For price I do like Zavvi but haven't taken delivery of anything yet (GoW 2 will be my first) and Tesco recently sent me a game I preordered on release day so I'd consider them too.

They do. It's an account verifier.

They had an article on their website about this and they are beginning to write on the game descriptions which version it is - they can sell them cheaper if they get large batches of EU ones, the problem of course is going to trade them which is why they are labelling it on the site.

I can't remember if the article was on their website or on their newsletter, but it has been mentioned.

All my pre-orders go through game as you get points and they pay quidco on pre-orders whereas shopto do not.

shopto.net the only problem is they will only send it recorded, so if nobody is at you house, you are fecked.

Also, ShopTo will send out another game if the other one is lost in the mail after only 3 days as opposed to the Royal Mail recommended 14.

Unless you have my postman! Apparently he doesn't care that something is recorded and needs a signature, which is fine by me

You get pre-orders from Game through on a Thursday? If that's the case I'll likely go with them instead for the points, as they're almost always comparable with Gameplay for price.
