Looking around for PS Vita games when I came across this pre-order. Seemed cheap as it's a major title for the PS Vita.

**** fishpond.
And it's fishpond, meaning that it'll most likely be canceled and money refunded..
My last orders with Fishpond (Hitman: Absolution Professional Edition $12, Game of Thrones S1 + 2 $23) all went through despite the general consensus that it was pricing errors and likely to be canceled.
Looks like Fishpond is cracking down on pricing mistakes. Guess they're no longer honouring them.
+ve for username.
Fishpond should be a banned site
I got the cheap Game of Thrones Blu-rays from Fishpond without any problem…so I will take the risk and order this as it is a very good price.
I know there may be issues with DLC or online play if the game comes from the UK as the box shows.
We are same region as UK for DLC :)
Same. Oddly enough I've had every Fishpond order go through. Blockbuster on the other hand has cancelled every single order I've made.
even if it is a pricing error, they'll most likely give you a $10 credit voucher as an apology…
Looking at how common 'pricing error's on Fish have been of late, if it's the case and keeps happening, pretty soon people would have enough store credit to buy normal for free LOL.
Ordered 2, thanks OP.
My cheap ass Hitman Absolution Pro also went through last time so fingers crossed.
How long did it take for them to come?
Arrived around 7-10 days later I recall.
I only recently unsealed my copy, had no idea it came with 30 days of PS+ free :)
Ahh that's pretty acceptable for such prices, thanks Beakeroo! You still have that PS4 on pre order? Interface looks pretty awesome, the XMB lives!
Yep still have PS4 preordered. Decided not to upgrade PC yet and stick with the PS4 for main gaming and Steam for other stuff. Will upgrade when I find a dirt cheap 770.
That's a good choice, a deal on 770 is bound to show up near December and there's going to plenty of buzz around the new systems, would be fun being apart of it! I can't decide on the One or PS4, driving me insane. On this gen how do you decide which plat you play the multi plats on?
Well I've sold my 360 now as it got little use, for multiplatform titles I just went with my friends list which I have a good group of friends on both but the PS3 mob were more active in the games I liked (which were mainly FPS'ers and GT) so I bought most games on that and exclusives on 360 but they dried up a bit so I lost all interest in the system. I find that Steam has a lot of the 360 games but for a hell of a lot loss $$. I know it doesn't have Halo or Forza but I can live without them.
Ahhh makes a lot of sense, I'm actually in the opposite spectrum, PS3 just sits there for exclusives and I use my 360 because the friends are more active. I really want to get a PS4 but I guess finding the friends who are active is the key point. I agree with you Sony exclusives are incredible, MS really stopped caring but they seem to have picked up some pace for the One. Will be an interesting war, might go for the PS4!. Take care, Later!
as much as i hate fishpond… i'll chance it… paid with paypal so shouldn't be too hard to get money back.
playing the beta its really good graphics and fun gameplay
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYY DAAAAAAAAAAAM Man have I been waiting for Mercenary, DUDE if this goes through and I see you in real life, OPROTO on ME!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!!
$22.08 - Paypal.
Wow that is a great price. Buying too many vita games these days.
Bought Sound shapes during anniversary sale.
Bought Soul Sacrifice and Touch my katamari and will be buying Muramasa rebirth from the Japanese developer sale going on US Playstation network.My $10 credit from last order that was cancelled wasn't applied on the order. They don't apply to pre orders it seems?
Any idea how long this credit lasts?
a year. but i have no idea how to use it
Thanks for posting op…ordered, but suspect this will be the good old - "No stock to supply", regardless of there being stock listed against it when its released. Still got nothiing to lose, awesoem if it works out.
I already pre-ordered from ozgameshop…… DAMN IT.
I've already preordered at play-asia as well.
Just got an email from them:
"Killzone: Mercenary" is not yet released. Your pre-order has been recorded.
This title is due for publication on 6 September 2013. Please note that pre-order publication dates may vary slightly as the publication nears release.
Price could be the real deal (pun)
Thats how it goes, everything looks cool until they realise its a pricing error…then the heartache begins…
Yea cannot rule that out, specially with 368 clicks, don't think they can afford Mercenary at 20 for that many
Thanks. Really looking forward to play this.
I doubt - its likely a pricing error
i'm prepared to give this a shot, but not going to upvote just yet…
Great find, fingers crossed that this is the real deal.
I'm starting to think this is a pricing error, just looking at Fishpond's prices for PS vita games isn't exactly competitive with other online stores.
It probably is an error that will be refunded, usually they have a script that raises the cheap games price every time somebody buys a copy, I expected this to kick in within minutes of this post but it never.
Not to mention its Mercenary we're talking about, very certain it's pricing error, cannot Imagine anyone letting Vita's hottest game so far which will have crazy demand on pre-order for 21 bucks!
I put down an order anyway but I'm fairly cautious about it all. The only reason I bothered was because I noticed so many people got the Game of Thrones $10 deal from them. How long did it take for Fishpond to ship them, for anyone that did score the deal?
Great find OP, ordered and fingers crossed. Half price compared to Video Ezy which was $42 delivered.
The price is $21.89 not $21.82, maybe it's gone up a tiny bit, I don't know. Also there is a 19c paypal fee.
Good price, I won't be able to play mutliplayer (assuming it has online pass) as I use US region, but I figured I'd never touch multiplayer, when I can do it on PS4's Killzone. But Single Player looks decent enough.
Wow look at those negs, must be jealous I got an order through on a whim.
Not sure why you're being negged?
All 2 of them?
Just killed my purchase and now it says sold out. Funnily enough it reappeared at $50
Not out of stock. They relisted it for $49 immediately
Oh dear, I wonder if it's about to all go pear shaped?
Prob keep any prepayments until September then advise pricing error and no stock. Gooooooooo Fishpond!
it hasnt been cancelled yet so there is hope!
Same
Order for 2 has not been reduced to 1, which is what happened for me on the Game of Thrones deal :)
Yep, I ordered 2 also, still intact which is a surprise. Gonna cancel my other preorder at play-asia now, even if it does get cancelled the digital version is on $47.
dat valuable vita memory card space though.
3.3GB
$47 is still cheaper than any local copy I can find.
I didnt like the idea of limited space but now I have come to the realisation that 1 man can only play so much at 1 time. I find storing the games on my laptop and moving them to my 32GB when needed works preferly fine.
We still have another 2 weeks before official release, so anything can happen until then. I ordered one but the price seems too good to be true. And can anyone answer me why fishpond have this habit of giving an item a real low price and then canceling it after they have your money? Do they do it to keep the company afloat or something.
So the release date is today. Has anyone's status changed? Mine's still on pre order
Same. I half expect it to be cancelled to be honest. That or another 2 week wait.
Same here.
I asked Fishpond, they said they are having troubles sourcing the product from the supplier and the best option for me is to cancel the order. "We can not guarantee that we will be able to get this item" :(
are you serious… maaaaaaaannnn, I have a bad feeling now, had hope before
Mine shows 'processing' though with Fishpond it could say shipped and I would not be surprised if it was eventually cancelled.
Mine says processing too, but the email I got from fishpond suggests otherwise.
This was false advertising then, so I've cancelled my order. I've never had this sort of problem with an online shop before, first time for everything i suppose. I won't be buying from them again unless they can guarantee that they have stock. Good luck guy's, hope they eventually come through.
That's fishpond for you. They'll often say that they can't source stock but will have the game listed as in stock for full price. They've honored 50% of the wrong priced orders i've had with them, so it's hard to predict which ones will work out.
I already bought it from EB. I'll probably just cancel. Great game btw, just wish my net would work…
Still no change, with the due date still 6 Sep. The question is whether to wait it out or not?
Today I sent another email and they said 24-48 hours, So I'm going to wait another 2-3 days.
Any update? Mine is still stuck at processing.
I cancelled, the game is too good to wait on.
I caved and bought it from EB also for $53. Came with free DLC.
I'll keep the Fishpond order for the time being. Hopefully Fishpond will pull though. Not holding my breath though.I never got the DLC, what was it?
'Blackjack Briefcase' maybe? 48hours of double XP?
https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-au/games/ad…
That's right. Blackjack's Briefcase and also an ISA Light Machine Gun code.
Oh nothing major then. Just early unlocks? I've unlocked most stuff by finishing campaign on veteran.
Sent another email today, they just want me to cancel the order without providing any reasonable explanation.
"Item currently unavailable with our suppliers" is not a valid reason. :(
Never using fishpond again.
They have got stock available from local supplier and US supplier. The European version is still unavailable.
So annoyed these stores put up a product and then declare incorrect price. But take your details and keep sending promotional emails.Wait, are you saying that they have stock of this game but from a different region? I'd be more than happy to get local/US version since vita games are region free.
I got a stock response that completely disregarded my message, they didnt even bother reading it, sent an angry response.
Yeah, there's no chance of them honoring it. I've cancelled my order.
Good work pond scum. Still no news.
i will wait. anyway i dont have much time to play my vita
Their reply states that they are an online retailer and don't carry stock of all the items advertised on the site.
I'm just going to cancel my order, otherwise I'll forget it's there.
so the item shows up as in stock now.
tbh I've had my fill of the game and have moved on. I loved it at first but constant connection errors have left a very bad taste which has put me off playing it altogether.
Aw no. Did you have the problems in the beta? I guess the patch didn't do very much in the end.
I didn't play the beta much as my net was stuffed (have since changed ISP) but when I did play it seemed to work OK, maybe had one DC. Now it's like 8/10 matches I DC.
That kinda sucks. Although 8/10 isn't that bad. Would be quite annoying if you were on a roll tho. Persona 4 golden kept disconnecting on me when calling for help in the dungeon. In the end I stopped using that function lol. Maybe it's a vita thing? I seem to have less range on wifi compared to my phone.
Nah, you misunderstand. I get DC'ed 8/10 games, I get to finish 2/10 games lol
Persona stays connected for me, as do most games tbh. I played Soul Sacrifice for a few hours without any issues.
Ah that's crap. I'm not big on multilayer in the first place so if that happened to me I would stop playing too.
Multiplayer is the reason to play games like this, single player is a bonus (for me)
Anyhooo you up for Soul Sacrifice tonight? Starting playing it again, such a good game.
SS is still on my backlog unfortunately :( I got ps+ a few weeks back so I've been playing the game as I saved off there. Finished Thomas was alone, gravity rush and have almost beat Uncharted (enjoying this one more than the console versions).
May play SS in the future but with pokemon coming out soon…
No problem, I've been doing the backlog also. Finished Red Dead Redemption, Machinarium, Persona 4 Golden and Killzone Merc (single player) I'm now working on Grand Theft Auto 4 whilst waiting on 5 to arrive.
Damn backlog, I can't keep up :( just learnt PS+ gets Farcry 3 & Giana Sisters on the 25th

Thank god i already finished Far Cry 3 lol, it's a pretty easy platinum if you play through the game. A really good fresh FPS as well btw.
