View Full Version : Star Ocean - The Last Hope (360 Pre-Order), £17.95
A J-RPG that personally I can't wait for, at a ridiculously low price.

I'm still not sure on this game. I've watched some videos and it looks okay, but the characters and atmosphere both look a bit childish for me.
That is a cheap price though, so I may have to pick it up after I've finished Lost Odyssey.

Amazing deal, thanks! I just placed my pre-order. Hope I don't get burned as this is my first order from Zavvi and I'm located outside the UK. I'll let everyone know in June!

Ordered!
Never seen a price this low on a brand new game. I bet they made a mistake when lowering the prices of the PSP star ocean games which are also £18. Hope they honour it.

I think it is a mistake and they will not honour it.
I was going to buy Star Ocean 1 for PSP, but my order was cancelled because they had put an incorrect price. This seems like a someone messed up.
It would be great if that is the actual price.

Back on topic,
seems like a real good price for a new game thats not even out yet. Never played the series or really any J-RPGs so I might give this a shot when it comes out.
Anyone who says otherwise is, inarguably, wrong and they are not your friend.
I think not being your friend is fine with the majority of users here.
(Go on, have another go.)
Right then, anyone know when Zavvi are going to give out vouchers again? I'm tempted but.

The game is no longer £17.95

£32.95 is the price now. They do make many mistakes with setting their prices. How hard can it be?

I don't think you should post anything unnecessary comments like "JRPG's are rubbish. [-(" because it sometime considered as a spam and well make you an attention seeker. Back to what this thread is about. You can get the collectors edition for £38.95 from zavvi while play is selling it for 49.99. Nice bargain I should say.

They won't honour the deal.
I ordered Star Ocean on PSP for 8.95, but they told me they had made a mistake and cancelled my order. They then put the price at 17.95. If they honour the deal you can be very happy, becuase they didn't do it for me.

It's total bullshit when they cancel an order because of their fuck up.
Morden2261

Hey, if they cancel the order on me I just won't order from them again. Chances are none of you would ever order from them again, either. So they're welcome to screw themselves out of a bunch of customers if they like -- and I'll be sure to send them a polite e-mail informing them about how they just shot themselves in the foot.
However, let's hope they honor this deal and everyone goes home happy! :)

Don't buy Star Ocean: TLH is you can. It is utter crap. Horrible voice acting, a failure of a script and frankly terrifying character models.
Get something better with your money.

I'd like to echo that sentiment -- find us some crazy deals on Tales o Vesperia and Sacred 2! Cheap RPGers unite! ;)

i ordered the collector edition a day or 2 before they removed the page for it. Wonder if i will still get it lol (contacted them...so waiting for a reply).
ayuchan
05-24-2009, 07:05 PM
do you think the collector's edition will actually be sold out before the price drops?
I'd love to get that one too, but 39,99 or 49,99 pounds is just too much for me want to wait till it's 30 or 19

ah, zavvi is now selling it for £32.95 lol. I seriously need to get that damn reply from them about collectors edition.

05-27-2009, 10:24 AM
Yeah its back to £32, but my order still says £17, so hopefully thats what they'll charge me :)

in response to many fears of being scammed by zavvi, well - fear no more. a friend of mine who is on the "17.95 bandwagon" got a quick and dirty reply from zavvi customer care itself stating that users WILL GET CHARGED the exact amount that was showing when they confirmed their orders. So, if your order history shows up as 17.95 then thta will be your price.
NICE, in a week or so we will confirm

Zavvi is quite fast, took me around 3-5 days to receive a package A+

i clearly dont think so, he was just referring to zavvi shipment times, in general speak.

My order was apparently shipped three hours ago. I'll be sure to let everyone know when it makes it to me here in Denmark!
And for the record, it states in the mail that I was charged the correct sales price. I'll be sure to confirm that with the bank later on.

shipped to italy today, too. i'll let you know when i'll have it in my filthy hands
i confirm the price too, it charged exactly 22.01 EUR to my preopaid card. COOL DEAL
Kaishou

could you please confirm it's multilanguage? i mean by switching to ITALIAN language in the dashboard and see it it gets translated... it should, but a first hand confirmation would kick ass.
btw: glad to know it's a FUN game, after all
Yep, it everything is translated into italian. Here a picture of the menu

I received mine a few days ago, no extra taxes or anything. Shipping took slightly longer than I'm used to when I order from Game.co.uk, but all things considered I'm very pleased with my experience and I expect I'll order from Zaavi again if the price is right!
