That's really unfortunate. I've only been using Shopto since January and I've never had any real issues with them. Well, the site never works for getting any preorder dlc codes but a quick email always sorts that.

I would probably put it down to a site bug rather than them going and deleting your account. The website isn't the greatest, I'll admit that, but the thing is it's never a bad enough experience to make me even consider going back to Amazon. I shopped at Amazon for years and they were atrocious at sending things on time and the item and delivery prices were sometimes really bad (delivery prices in particular). I can order something before 12PM from Shopto and the free delivery always gets it to me the next day. Amazon take several days even to post items on the free delivery and then another few for delivery. Shopto also almost always has lower prices for games and they even ship them early so you will mostly get games before release and at latest on the day of release. Amazon meanwhile struggled to get games to me on release day even when you pay for faster delivery and also it was really insulting hearing all the benefits and free credit the US site would offer customers when in the UK we get literally fuck all.

I had such a bad experience using Amazon that I would still recommend you stick with Shopto and continue emailing them in the hope that something can be done. Hell, I'd sooner use GAME than Amazon these days.

Yes they have better prices in a lot of cases and they are good at getting the games out on time(if not a day or two before) but I am not aiming to get to Gold level again when something like this can happen.

Amazon are not the best, I may forget about online shopping as much as I can and get to my nearest store which might cost a little more but I would rather that than have them lock me out even though I have spent £100's with them, PLUS - I get some exercise too...and fresh air!

I don't think its a bug that will get fixed. I have emailed them and I get some general response email that reminds me of the times when I had to phone Xbox Customer Support. They don't care and they don't try and resolve it. They don't even ask you about your account to try and determine if it is a true problem. They could ask what I had bought recently, how much had I spent, my address etc.

I think its been wiped. Grabs money, goes to the REAL shop!

The cost of the digital download will be more than you pay for the retail version. In the UK, Pikmin 3 is available to pre-order from Amazon.co.uk at a price of £31.99. The Wonderful 101 is also available to pre-order at Amazon.co.uk at a price of£34.89.

Looking at the Wii U E-shop and their pricing for a lot of Wii U games, they will probably go for a price-point of £44.99 or higher. If they go for the lower price before discount, say £39.99 then take the 30% off W101 the total after discount will be *£67.98

*That is still slightly more than the disc based version with cool artwork and the added bonus of not eating at your small Wii U hard drive.

I don't think they will put them on the E-Shop for less than £44.99 before discount.

I have been using Shopto.net since the start of the year and began to prefer them over Amazon.co.uk which was my site for games. The membership thing on Shopto.net was also an incentive for buying games there. For those who don't know, Shopto.net has a three tier system for people using the site. A reward scheme: Bronze, Silver, Gold. The more you buy the higher the level you become and the better the rewards. To become a Gold member you must buy 30 games in a 12 month period. The higher the level you are the better the saving you get on further purchases and any points you accumulate is there for you to spend at a later date. Great.

I don't bring this up in the effort of asking people to shop there but I am wondering if what I am about to share has happened to anyone else that uses them.

As I said at the top, I have been using Shopto since January and had not had any problems until last week.

I ordered 2 games that would take me up to the 30 games or purchases needed to become a Gold member. One of the games arrived on time - the next day, and the other game had a status of 'Processing' which I noticed a day or two later when I logged in to see why part of my order never arrived.

I logged in using the same email address and password I have used since signing up and then opened a ticket (for customer support) using the contact options in my account. I left them a message asking if they could tell me why the other game had not been sent as it was shown IN STOCK. I got no reply.

A day later the game turned up and I thought nothing more of it at the time.

Now I don't know if they read my message and sent it but that is not the real issue. The real issue is that I cannot log into my account. I have attempted to log in many times and I get "This email is not registered on our website". Its very strange as I logged in a day earlier and was able to send my enquiry through the site using that email address.

I sent an email tonight to their shoptosupport email address (via Hotmail) and got the same reply about my email not being linked to the site and that I could sign up if I don't have an account. I now wish I had kept my order conformation email for my last order but I usually delete old emails and deleted that one just before I found this problem.

I can't be sure but I am starting to think they have reset my account. I am now able to sign up with the same address and enter the same card details (*it doesn't let you add a card that is linked to the same home address - because me and my brother both tried to sign up and it wouldn't allow 2 cards from the same house even though it was different people and different accounts). It's like my info has been wiped. My progress to be a gold member would have had me getting the best savings available and now It looks like I would have to start again if I want to use the site.

I don't think I will continue to use it and might just revert back to Amazon who don't offer the membership saving scheme. I had planned to order many of the games and possibly both new consoles but I will go elsewhere because of this.

Sorry for writing all of this. I just want to know if anyone else has experienced this with them. Thanks for reading.

You can tell when people are more casual gamers. Their knowledge is usually quite limited and they tend to just know about the real popular games and don't quite seem to understand the significance of many of them. I take games very seriously. There's also a lot of gamer posers out there who try to act like they know what's up, but I think it's generally pretty easy to see right through them.

I know what you mean. I was having a conversation the other day about the Call Of Duty Black Ops II game and the other person looked at me as if I was asking for answers to mind-bending sums.

If I had the game I would let my skill do the talking. I don't have the game. I hope this helps.

There is the Lost & Damned DLC for GTA 4 and just recently a game called Ride To Hell came out which is about the life of a biker.
