Beware widescreen users, I had no end of trouble trying to get this to play nice on my 1920×1080 screen. I gave up in the end, and it looked pretty ugly
Still, it is a fantastic price.

Gratuitous Space Battles DLC: Nomads, PC – £2.47
Gratuitous Space Battles DLC: Nomads, PC – £2.47
Details on what it contains here.
£2.47 is the price for the discount edition, the standard edition costs £4.94.
They are both exactly the same, except the discount edition is cheaper. Clever Mr Cliffsky.
£4.94 is a “fair price”, calculated based on what it cost to make, but knowing that lots of gamers wait for stuff to get discounted (that’d be you lot), he’s offering it at what would be discounted to further down the line right now.
I’ll be keeping an eye out for the discount edition being discounted in a sale.

The Hut Coupon shenanigans extends to Zavvi
Regular SavyGamer readers will no doubt be familiar with the ongoing saga of The Hut’s policy on coupons.
Twice now I’ve caught them out bumping up the price of items to coincide with coupons. You can find the details here, here and here. The end result in most cases was that the increase in price resulted in it being the same price, or more often more expensive, than they were before the coupon was issued.
It appears that this practice is now extending to other retailers that are part of The Hut Group. Most recently Zavvi.
Vanquish has been £28.99 to preorder from them for a while, on both 360 and PS3. I first noticed that rather good price last Tuesday, and posted it here and here.
Then I realised that this offer could be improved by using the coupon “ZAVVIFIVE”, for £5 off a £50 spend (it was actually £50.01), that Zavvi had emailed to me and all their affiliates about previously. I posted it up here, with some other similar deals. My data suggests it was a pretty popular deal amongst you lot, not surprising after the fantastic demo (The problem with Vanquish is that it’s just a game about shooting robots and flying around really fast like a badass and then punching robots in the face).
Before the coupon had expired though, they bumped the price of it up to £32.95 on both platforms. I didn’t notice any other examples, but my all seeing bargain eye could have been diverted by discounts elsewhere. It’s entirely possible they did this for lots of items, not just this one popular game.
Like an idiot I didn’t record any evidence of the price bump…so uh, I guess you can either take my word or not. Now that the coupon has expired, it’s gone back to it’s pre-coupon price. Sadly google’s cache of it is before the price bump.
From now on I’ll keep a closer eye on all retailers that are part of The Hut group, and include a coupon disclaimed wherever applicable. The applicable retailers are:
Argos Entertainment
Asda Entertainment
SendIt.com
WHSmith Entertainment
Woolworths Entertainment
ZavviI think that’s the lot.
If anyone can suggest a way to find a record of the price bump, please let me know. The coupon expired on the 9th, so it should have been just before then.

Amazon have just pricematched this with Zavvi, but they have the added bonus of probably shipping them faster, and not being a part of the hut group (as I know several of you have said that you don’t want to buy from the hut any more).
