@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.

How much would "free delivery for orders over R 1000" affect your decision to more purchases from Nexus Hub?

@Scottie that is hilarious. Yeah there seems to be quite a few issues as to where you can find POkemon. I know the Holocaust museum is in NYC has politely asked patrons to refrain from playing the game in the museum as there are 3 gyms inside it and a guy living in a converted church has expressed reservations about his house been a gym as it has increased traffic in his neighbourhood. Currently you can only remove your location from the app if it is reported as dangerous. Am sure Ninty and Niantic will institute systems to fix this.

Just started playing today and I can see I'm gonna be addicted already. Went for a walk with my son and we caught a few together. He's only 2.5 so he was a bit scared when he saw a Zubat in our house XD. It's lots of fun though, heading to the local park later to catch more

"Pokemon Go: US Senator Voices Privacy Concerns, Asks Dev to Answer These 7 Questions"
Gamespot
1. Pokemon Go has stated that it collects a broad array of users' personal information, including but not limited to a user's profile and account information, their precise location data, and information obtained through Cookies and Web Beacons. Can you explain exactly which information collected by Pokemon Go is necessary for the provision or improvement of services? Are there any other purposes for which Pokemon Go collects all of this information?

2. According to reports, Pokemon Go also requests permission to access a number of mobile capabilities, including but not limited to the ability to control vibration on a phone, prevent the phone from sleeping, and find contact accounts on the device. Can you explain exactly which features and capabilities are necessary for Pokemon Go to access for the provision or improvement of services? Are there any other purposes for which Pokemon Go has access to all of these features and capabilities?

3. If, in fact, some of the information collected and/or permissions requested by Pokemon GO are unnecessary for the provision of services, would Niantic consider making this collection/access opf-in, as opposed to requiring a user to opt-out of the collection/access?

4. Pokemon Go has stated that users' information can be shared with The Pokemon Company and "third party service providers." Can you provide a list of current service providers? Does Pokemon Go also share users' information with investors in Pokemon Go?

5. Pokemon Go has further indicated that it shares de-identified and aggregate data with other third parties for a multitude of purposes. Can you more exhaustively describe the purposes for which Pokemon Go would share or sell such data?

6. Can you describe how Niantic ensures parents provide meaningful consent for their child's use of Pokemon Go and thus the collection of their child's personal information? Apart from publicly available privacy policies, how does Niantic inform parents about how their child's information is collected and used?

7. According to reports, signing into Pokemon Go on iOS through a user's Google account gives Niantic full access to an individual's Google account without the user's knowledge. Niantic has since recognized that it erroneously asked for more permissions than it intended. Can you provide an update on any fix Niantic is seeking to correct this mistake? Also, please confirm that Niantic never collected or stored any information it gained access to as a result of this mistake.

I see there is suddenly a lot of negativity about the game today online.

Mainly the fact that it open your device up to third parties.

The locations of the gyms

And that the app uses a lot of data

Apparently downloading the offline version of your areas maps on Google Maps helps. I have done this and the game has used 25mb with about 1-2 hours of being on data - not sure if its made any difference

Also the app updated for me from the Playstore (remember I installed through this and not the APK download). Not sure what the update process will be for people that went the APK route.

They released an update yesterday that changes what the app can access so it's more private now

Having a lot of fun with it, today I saw a few people at the park playing. I wonder if there will be any local meetups and walks like they are doing in Aus and US

Is the South African version on the Playstore?

The one I found Pokémon GO APP seems to be a beta version.
