Best I've seen is £32 (£29.99 without postage) from Amazon.co.uk

Anyone doing it cheaper?

Well I always use them to buy books, cd's and games and I've never had any problems with them.

I remember when special reserve used to be special...
Back when you paid the membership because you'd get the money back in savings with one or two purchases, not because you had to, to be able to win a gad prize (do they still do that?).
I still buy stuff from them, but shopping around pays off these days.

I've had a problem once with SR, they're usually reliable, quick and stuff, amazon have always been fine, but the worst offenders have to be electronics boutique, and changing their name to game won't throw me off the scent... They're the only people who've actually ignored my e-mails when they've not been able to fix their screw-up.

Personally I figure anyone can make a mistake, just not *too* often, it's how you deal with it that's important. Hence why I'm a little wary of buying big stuff from sr, but that's a different rant...

morbo, I'm 99% sure Whitestripes was taking the Pi%% with his last post about amazon. He'd have to be the unluckiest man alive to recieve that many wrong orders.

I drive past Amazon HQ everytime i go up North to the M1. Amazon are also well established in the USA and all over Europe. While SR dominate Egham and the like...

see you wouldn't get that with SR. even if it did happen they would do somthing spectacular to make it up. (just me guessing). but none of my stuff has been wrong, or has it ever been broken. and i have orderd about 30 times.

I do actually hate Amazon

They sent me the wrong thing for the last 4 orders, and 1 of them was broken too.

but can you trust amazon? i know i can trust SR and can cancel at any time just by a simple phone call, and if the price drops they will give money and they are much more trust worthy. unlike a internet company were all you can do is send an e-mail and you cant even get angyry at they for being fools if they screw up. pluss SR has freindly and helpful staff to help. i would rather get it from SR, as i can garentee that the product i will get would be of good quality... and be here on the relase date or even eairler if i add first class for 60p.

i got metal gear solid 2 one day before it was due to reale juat beacuse of SR's good will. but SSM came late... SR all the way
