Metal Gear Solid 4 - Pre-Order Prices

Gliese 581c · 12-05-2008, 10:43 PM

I've been looking at around 20 or so online retailers trying to get the best price for Metal Gear Solid 4.

The best so far are....

Gameplay £39.99 with 11% quidco = £35.59 delivered

Choices UK - £34.49 with 5% back from quidco = £32.77 delivered

The Hut - £35.93 with 5% back from quidco = £34.13 delivered

Game.co.uk £39.99 to £36.99 using £3 off code "MODGAMER" and 11% quidco = £32.92 delivered.

ASDA £34.93 with MAY25 code (expires 27th May) and 2.5% quidco = £31.13 (Game no longer available for the moment)

If anyone can find cheaper please post

I'd hold off on the pre-orders for now...

I'm gonna wait and see where the said goodies are available

I'd bet my house on it, once those packages are announced it wont be for the prices I have quoted above.

So for people that are just looking for the game only, then this thread is still relevant.

They're not - the special goodies come with the Limited Edition package.

So far, the only place I'm aware of selling it is:

http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStatio...n/Product.html

£75.21 with 6% at quidco.

Will the "experience 08" code work with this too?

I've used that code with it, but not quidco. Afaik you can only enter one promotional code when ordering from play.

Does anyone know how/if we (the ones who've ordered from play) will recieve the saga vol 2 disc?

I would assume so - I thought you got that with ALL pre-orders at all merchants?

I'm going to email them to ask now....

Gliese 581c · 13-05-2008, 1:27 PM

There's one from game.co.uk with a headset.

http://www.game.co.uk/PS3/Hardware/A...tal+gear+solid

£74.99

With over £3.75 worth of cash back and 11% from quidco, you'll save over a tenner on it.

It only works with 1 order per account as far as I'm aware. So yea if you haven't used it yet.

How much discount can you get with GAME.co.uk via quidco?? Is it 11% or 3%, is there the usual £3 off code either??

MooseMullay · 13-05-2008, 2:11 PM

The problem with the headset, is that's all you get as well as the game.

No blu-ray disc, no LE artwork, no 6" figure (yay).

I can't seem to find an email address for play.com to ask about MGS4, but there is a phone number which I'll try later.

The £5 off voucher no longer works now as just tried it and also confirmed by HotUKDeals forums

Are you sure you havent used it before ? Cause it can only be used once on the account your trying to buy from.

Bushido · 13-05-2008, 3:15 PM

I havnt used Gameplay for orders before...plus I checked HUKD to make sure it wasnt me...

Also check here

Ahh, crap

Sorry about that then.

Looks like the best price around is the Choices at £32.77

Hubba-EX · 13-05-2008, 7:19 PM

Shame about the gameplay code - I was just about to use it.

Anyway, watch out for Lovefilm - they are part of The Hut and Dixons, and the prices are usually the same. But for some reason they dont have MGS4 listed.

But when they do list it, it should be £34.95 (like the hut), but they also do a 5% off code (LFDVDC5) and the normal 5% quidco - so that should make it easily the cheapest. Only when/if they list MGS4 though...

Alonso14 · 14-05-2008, 10:38 AM

Any update as to whether the saga vol. 2 blu ray comes with the Play.com preorders?

Edit: This link http://metalgearcollection.zoneofthe...rg/blog/?p=115 implies it may only be with GAME, and even then, the details are unclear

Stinja · 15-05-2008, 5:13 PM

Anyone?

I'd like the recap of the Saga disc too, but dont want the special edition with the figure.

TheShatter59 · 15-05-2008, 11:00 PM

what are choicesuk and the hut like for pre-orders folks ?
cheers

Zeromajor · 16-05-2008, 7:54 AM

According to the konami announcement, the saga 2.0 dvd will be available to all uk pre-orders.

What's not been announced is how exactly we're going to get our hands on it. I'm wagering that you'll pick it up alongside your copy of the game on release day.

Even so i'm not sure where that puts those of us who've pre-ordered online. Did anyone get an email back from play?

Bushido · 16-05-2008, 8:15 AM

I have not recieved any info from Game with my pre order.

Widge · 16-05-2008, 9:50 AM

Plus with Pre-orders, are they taking the cash on shipping the game?

MooseMullay · 16-05-2008, 11:22 AM

Ok, I just phoned Play.com to ask about Metal Gear Saga, and they said that if it doesn't actually state that you get the disc, then you don't get it, and unless Play.com haven't actually been told they're getting it yet, then they're not getting it :P

So basically, as of now, no, you don't get Saga with play.com pre-orders, but its possible they still haven't been informed and updated the website...

Bushido · 16-05-2008, 4:22 PM

The Hut has £3 off any order over £25 - but only today. Use the code HUT3

With 5% quidco that makes it cost £30. Nice.

Im going to cancel with Game and go with them I think. Saving me £5!

Grrrr... That's annoying. *really* want the DVD, but at the same time I really want the SE of the game

oasisnut · 19-05-2008, 10:03 AM

I wouldn't give up hope yet, as I haven't seen that DVD advertised on any site.

The DVD isn't mentioned anywhere on GAME's website, which is where the article said it would be available....

Maybe it's just taking Konami a while to let the companies know about it? Or maybe you just get a code in the game which you can use to order the DVD for free?
