"You need to get out more"
"Im in another galaxy, how much more out can i get"
Well I patiently waited and amazon as shipped out my Collectors Edition yesterday for $80.00 the price dropped $10.00 from release date. Overall, it was still cheaper then MTW2 on release.
The price of computers have dropped and the new rig, quad core was cheaper then the single processor I bought on the release of MTW2.![]()
Games prices overall have seen a big hike in the UK after Christmas, even in online stores. It used to be standard to get newly released DS, PSP, PS2 and PC games for £17.99, with xbox 360 and PS3 games tending towards £29.99 - £34.99. Now £39.99 is the standard price for 360, PS3 and some PC games, and £24.99 - £29.99 for DS, PSP and PS2 games. It's pretty obscene.
I use gametracker to find the cheapest online price for a game. It searches based on UK websites, but can be configured to look in other countries. Next step is to go to hotukdeals and use the voucher search on the right hand side of the main page to see if there are any money off vouchers for the sites you would be happy to buy from. Game's online store used to do a lot of £3 and £5 off vouchers, shopto do some occasionally, as does play.com. You can also search the main site to see if anyone has posted about a bricks and mortar shop selling a game at a good price. If you don't mind buying via smaller sellers, playtrade on play.com and amazon's marketplace can both turn up some good deals and unlike ebay there are standards and the buyer is fully covered.
Takes a bit of time, and can save a lot of money.

I would wait till the price goes down. I paid retail $50.00 for the most buggy, unfinshed game I've seen from CA in the Total War Series. I'm putting the game back on the shelf untill mods and patches fix some of the issues.
