@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.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy Retail Version Only Includes the First Game on Disc

by Sam Aberdeen on 02 August, 2018

Spyro Reignited Trilogy is less than a couple of months away from launch, and fans are ready to see the lovable purple dragon return to the gaming world - albeit it's in the form of the three original classics, Spyro The Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon, remastered with great new visuals.

In a recent discovery made by Wario64 on Twitter, though, he noticed that the box art states that it requires content download. It's revealed that the retail version of the game will only come packaged with the first game on disc. The sequels will need to be downloaded separately in a day one patch. This means that you'll only be getting Spyro The Dragon on the disc at launch, unlike the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy which featured all three of its original Naughty Dog classics on the disc.

If you go to Spyro Reignited Trilogy's website, this is all confirmed too. Activision doesn't see it as anything bizarre either, as they stated in an interview with PS Lifestyle that "downloading an update after purchase is quite common" these days; which shouldn't be an excuse to not feature all three games on disc when it could've easily done so.

Knowing that both sequels will be downloadable content, it means that the day one patch will be significantly larger than any other day one patch, considering it's actually two whole games. This is especially upsetting news for those who perhaps don't have internet or don't want to wait for the games to download, and instead want to play them on day one.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy is set for release on September 21, 2018 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

I thought maybe to stop second hand sales but it's just an update. I can't see how any money is saved by this move.

KnightFall500

Wow! Can't believe this lol
Why even bother releasing a physical copy then??

vortex6671

If you look at common business practices these days, they are just following the norm. You are basically buying the "core game" and then getting the "season pass" content on day one.

Lurch

Eh? How big are these remasters that they can't fit all three games on a 50GB blu-ray?
