@IkariX it's a good thing IDGAF about your opinion then, lol
It may surprise you to know that other people have different experiences to your own. But I know that concept may be too far out of reach for you.

As for Nexus, I don't know why you ban people that have legitimate points relating to polls you create. None of what I said was out of line, but clearly you prefer sycophants like IkariX on the forum instead of customers who have legitimate criticism of your logistics (which you make us pay for).

Nexushub has the best customer service no doubt. I have had other retailers that don't care about restocking on sold out titles but yet nexushub helped get me townfall steelbooks and control resonant steelbooks even though they were sold out. No one cares about delivery fees as long as you get the physical game in good condition like I have, especially steelbooks which can be fragile.

@DarkWingDuck

I'm going to call [censored] on your post. I've been buying from Nexus since the AnimeWorx days from about 2008. I have literally never ever had bad customer service from NexusHub. So you are being disingenuous. I don't think you appreciate the great lengths they go to, to get these games for us. But enjoy your other retailers and their[censored] service.

MrOde very good point! I'd pay extra for express overnight shipping.

HaseoVII SAME regarding FF7Rebirth (best believe I preordered Revelation though

)

I am such a huge fan of Nexus Hub - no one else in SA imports the niche titles - I used to need to get my stuff from Amazon Japan/US

My backlog is so big I don't care how late I get my orders lol haven't even played FF7 Rebirth or even Stellar Blade yet, but that's just me.

I'd actually go even further and say do standard free shipping for all orders above R1000 but allow an express shipping option/add on for those that want to pay extra. I would gladly pay extra to get whatever I ordered the day after I order it.

Shipping costs on games? What's that?

I'm not looking to start a bad thread about this, I was really just curious because I misclicked the tab on the left and stumbled upon the poll (I'd never clicked it before).

I am fiercely brand loyal to Nexus Hub and I don't care too much about not getting a game day-1. I know other names like BT and Koodoo ship earlier so you get it on release, but I'd never be "that" excited that I must play day-1, life happens

On the other hand, paying an extra R150 every time you order a commercially available title does add up, and I would not blame the average consumer for trying to save some money.

I know I'd feel less off about it if there was a price match, and free delivery at a certain threshold.

I mean if I can save money, why wouldn't I?

Are there circumstances where I would pay that extra without thinking twice about it, yes. In general there's little reason to do so.

That said, touching on Darkwing's point of eBucks, payment options feel like a lot bigger point than the R50 delivery. Lot of places offering rewards, pay later, etc. Those are big pull points for customers.

For niche titles it's okay. Problem is I play mainly bigger titles. Games are expensive enough as is. If I can save 50 bucks, use my ebucks (which some retailers allow) then I'm definitely going with another retailer.

Basically if I have to choose between paying delivery or not I'm going to go for not paying for delivery. On top of that, I find my Nexus orders are usually delayed. I don't think I've ever received a game on release day which is annoying when you're paying extra for delivery especially. And often you have to ask where it is which I don't think the customer should have to do, that's part of customer service.

We know it's coming, let's start discussing this!

Fans of the 2015 shooter, Star Wars Battlefront will be pleased to hear that Battlefront 2 will be revealed at Star Wars Celebration in April this year.

Yesterday, EA dropped a news piece informing fans that they will be able to get their first look at the upcoming game at Star Wars Celebration on April 15th. The reveal will take place at 20:30 PM (Our time) during the "Galaxywide Premier of Star Wars Battlefront 2 panel".

Star Wars Battlefront 2 is expected to release later this year and will include a full-length single-player campaign. The game will span multiple eras in the Star Wars timeline. 2015's Star Wars Battlefront was heavily criticized for it's lack of single-player content despite it never once being touted as a single-player oriented game. You can learn more about these changes here. - Nexus

What are you guys hoping to see in Battlefront 2?

For me its the SP campaign which I assume will take place across the prequels, the original trilogy and probably TFA and Rogue 1. I expect that Last Jedi content will be a map and a new mode for MP only to avoid story spoilers

Someone needs to give the developers a copy of Star Wars Republic Commando and get them developing something worthwhile.

Had high hopes for this, the campaign looked so good.
Will wait for a second hand copy now.

"US State Representative Says Star Wars Battlefront 2's Loot Boxes Are "Predatory""
Gamespot
"This game is a Star Wars-themed online casino designed to lure kids into spending money. It's a trap,"

Hopefully this will eventually lead to the end of loot boxes & micro transactions. Or at lest make developers think twice before using them.

Seem australia sweden netherlands have joined belgium and that us state rep in opening an investigation to see wether or not lootboxes/microtransaction could be considered a form of gambling and to make things even more interesting a petition was set up in the uk a while back so that this could be brought forward in parliament plus a few big youtubers and gaming journalist have put this matter under the spotlight apparently Disney also contacted EA so will be interesting to see how it pans out in the coming weeks.
