Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

I'm not 100% sure but I think I remember seeing VG+ stocking the american cover version too but it wasn't up until closer to release, I don't recall if it was last years game or the one before though.

Probably worth contacting them and asking, they have a twitter account too.

What's the UK DHL option to get it on the Friday before release?

Just select DHL.

It's not guaranteed for the Friday though the last couple of years it has.

Preordered a fair while back, this year i thought i would try something new...
Instead of DHL delivery from VG+, i went for the FedEx delivery just to see what that's all about.
I'm a sucker for new options

I did the same. See how it goes!

Two weeks today and us DHL'ers (and hopefully those trying Fedex too) will have the game in our hands, four days before North American release

Just a quick question to make sure i got that right:
All of you guys pay 30 bucks for DHL shipping so the game gets to you within a few days when you could just save those 30 bucks and buy it for the same price from the psn-store?

I know, i'd like to have a physical copy too just to be able to put it next to my PS4 but that is not worth 30 bucks for me

I'm not certain but on the PSN Store I'd be expecting The Show to be £50+ (NHL 15 is on for £59.99). Even with the additional 30CAD it doesn't work out any more than that...and I get a physical copy of the game, which I prefer.

You dont have it right.

The total cost to me including paying for DHL shipping is, let me check my order history on the VG+ site...$99.98 CAD, which at the current exchange rate is £53.03.

As Ginny has said, it would be more than that on the European store anyway, so im literally not paying a penny more AND still getting the game four days before release.

The game on VGC+ is $65 canadian dollars which is about £34. The DHL shipping is £18, so it's £52 overall. The standard price for a PS4 game in the UK is about £49.99. I wouldn't be surprised if this goes up on the PS store for about that price.

We're basically paying an extra £2 for the opportunity of getting the game a week early (Friday releases in the UK so 31st March actually becomes 3rd April) and the ability to sell the game when The Show 16 comes. Since these games are a lot harder to come by in the UK you can sell them for a good amount. Sold my copy of The Show 14 on PS3 for about £20 a couple of months ago.

It's a much better investment to have the hard copy and it's not actually a whole lot more expensive. Seems like a better idea to do it this way than on the store.

EDIT: Basically just reiterated what Ginny and Psycho said haha

I'd also add you don't need to do DHL shipping if you are willing to wait, I've used VG+ without it the last few times and they all got here safe and sound at a timely pace. Last year I think I got it a week after release but I ordered very late therefore missed the first batch of shipments, previously I've had it on release week, 13? I think.

I never really play it until the OSFM rosters release anyway.

Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

Okay yeah i get that part but VG+ sells the game for 65 CAD which are 50USD.
The Canadian PSN Store sells the game for 69,99CAD while the US PSN Store sells it for 59,99US, which is only 10 bucks more expensive than VG+ without shipping.

I'm a hardcore DHL VG+er too (just can't wait) but for those willing to wait, last year the Show was only 36.99 on the UK store although not sure if that would be similar on the Euro store.

VG+ Pre-order is in, gone with the international shipping again. All told, just under £40, well happy again.
