I can't see Australia as an option for the country, either via paypal or credit card…

  There was some info written in the previous ozbargain post on NBA JAM which I think fixed this issue. I've bought with zavvi heaps of times so my details were already saved

  for paypal: your doing it wrong
  for credit: you need to have to enter your address into an address book first
  - sssboi on 04/04/2011 - 01:25
    
    when i go to address book at add an address, australia is not there for countries

      Okay so I got it to work using Internet Explorer instead of firefox, and changing the currency to euro's. Once I did that, I went to the address book and Australia magically appeared. Weird but worked
flashi007 on 04/04/2011 - 01:13

This is outstanding. It's amazing what you find when searching ozbargain just prior to hitting the sack. I got one. He's on FIRE
kemitri on 04/04/2011 - 05:25

Same can't get it to work.
Paypal doesn't let you.
Credit doesn't let you.
Adding in an address to the address book doesn't let you.

Don't know how ppl are managing to order it

Trying to purchase.. as with others.. no "Australia" listed in the list as shipping option.. =[

Tried Credit Card, Paypal and Address Book.. no good.

Edit: Hmmm.. seems to be a problem with Firefox! Just tried loading the page with Internet Explorer and "Australia" shows up.. That or Zavvi fixed itself.. Either way, I'm happy!
- unco on 04/04/2011 - 10:33
  
  Mine wasn't showing a very big list of available countries using Firefox either. Switched to Internet Explorer and it worked :) thanks for the tip!

  Yeah I was iffy when it was $80 RRP or whatever it came out at, especially since it was originally created as a Xbox Live Arcade title, and even more so especially since I already have NBA Hangtime from wayback.
  
  But for $20 I think it's a steal.
  
  Things are heating up!

Managed to work for me - I paid with Paypal, and it automatically had my address pre-filled. Took less than a minute.

Worked fine for me with credit card no problems, Australia showed up fine.
Can't wait to catch fire!

serious? which browser did u guys use?
- IsometricBacon on 04/04/2011 - 11:08
  
  I used Firefox 3.6
  
  This was paying through Paypal.
  - ktay on 04/04/2011 - 11:23
    
    can u try to do a dummy checkout again n see if "Australia" still pops up for you when you do the checkout.
    Thanks
    
    Will be great if you could do a screenshot for me.
    
    Kind Regards
    - IsometricBacon on 04/04/2011 - 13:46
      
      Ok - I figured out how I managed it.
      
      I had made an order with Zavvi in the past, and chose "use an existing logon"
      
      My address details were already in the system, so I was able to select it from there.
      
      I tried to "add a new address" and, as everyone else is experiencing, I was unable to add Australia from the drop down list.
      
      I wonder if Zavvi has purposefully removed it, due to too many international orders taking advantage of free shipping?
farule on 04/04/2011 - 11:22

FYI, had the same problem when I was using chrome, used IE8 and it works! Great game, but definitely not worth the AU RRP!! Thanks again OzBargain!!

SmokeandMirrors on 04/04/2011 - 12:01

Thanks bargrin. For all the others having the issue where you can't choose Australia, keep trying other browsers as i tried firefox - didn't work. IE8 - didn't work. Chrome - worked!
- ktay on 04/04/2011 - 12:22
  
  neither of the browsers worked for me..
  damn, i've just tried installing Chrome and i still cant choose Australia. This is so BS!!
GerrardLFC on 04/04/2011 - 12:31

Here from another bargain there is a tip to add Australia, I used it back then and it worked

- ktay on 04/04/2011 - 12:34
  
  same error, no australia in drop down menu under address book..
SSJX on 04/04/2011 - 12:34

Both Chrome and IE didn't work for me at first.

What I did do to get it working;
- Start with IE
- Switch to Euros
- Copy paste 'add to address book' url to chrome, and 'Australia' magically appeared in the drop down box

May or may not work for others…
justtoreply on 04/04/2011 - 12:42

At having the correct list of countries:
Firefox 3.5.2 failed.
IE8 worked.

I had that same problem at thehut the other day. Would have been handy to know the solution back then. Got sent a support response saying "we are fixing the problem". What a useless response. (thehut = zavvi)

  The neg I am about to inflict on your post is because you could muster up the brain power to click the address book tab and enter your mailing address there.
  If brains were dynamite you wouldn't have enough to blow your nose.

  - justtoreply on 04/04/2011 - 16:30
    
    Beaker, if you read, you'll see that he can't add an address because it wont let him select Australia as a country from the drop down menu.
    
    For some reason the drop down menu works in some browsers and not others.. everyone is getting different results even with the same browser it seems.
    
    Although he could use a different browser, I've got to admit thats one of the biggest 'balls ups' I've seen in website design… considering it's a business and it needs customers to survive, yet its locking its own clientele out by accident.
    - [Deactivated] on 04/04/2011 - 16:37
      
      Fair enough but there are posts imforming users of how to fix this, regardless this is a great deal and he is an attention seeker.

incredibly cheap. can't believe the free shipping from UK! Worked out to just over $16 for me with currency conversion.

Zavvi's a great website too - ordered from here several times with no problems.
ktay on 04/04/2011 - 21:27

I finally worked out the problem with it.
After 12 hours of fidgeting around, finally managed to key in my address in the userbook using an older backdated firefox.
Only EU countries appears in the drop box should you use the latest IE8 and Firefox 3.6 upwards browser.
My gf's comp firefox is 3.5 and Australia and a whole list of other countries appears in the drop box.
Hope it helps

Got in near the start of this, and my order was cancelled. I call shenannigans… baiting consumers with stock they knew they couldn't get (given this is the second run of NBA jam's. I wonder how many orders were cancelled first time? I'll bet you it wasn't zero…)

Negged because of zavvi. If stock was received it would have been a great bargain.
- Tal_Shiar on 21/04/2011 - 13:47
  
  Negged because it's zavvi? More like you negged because you wanted to a bad ass keyboard warrior and didn't even have the fortitude to send an angry email, so you neg'd this deal. Hope it comforts you to know my order hasn't been cancelled still:d
  - [Deactivated] on 21/04/2011 - 18:47
    
    Actually i believe its an oversight mate. Mine wasn't cancelled by them either but a couple of days before i did cancel i sent a query regarding the eta. I cancelled yesterday and last night received a reply from the initial query, they said that they had tried to source an alternate supplier but could not and were sorry but my order was supposed to have been cancelled already by zavvi. Hopefully I'm wrong but i reckon like myself you slipped through the cracks.
    - Tal_Shiar on 22/04/2011 - 02:38
      
      in all honesty, i tend to agree, but im still holding out some faint hope lol
