Amazon UK has Infinite Warfare up for pre order at £59.99 for both XB1 and PS4

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01EUPD0T8/

For comparison sake the Legacy Edition is £80.

Now this could be a placeholder price admittedly but the strange thing is I can't find any other site with the game available for pre-order yet, plus Steam has no option for pre-order yet despite listing all the different editions, AND the official CoD site does not list any UK options for pre-ordering the standard edition.

This also would not be the first time CoD has been raising price, back when MW2 launched they paved the way for price increases to £45 from £40.

Lock if old.

How is the pound doing against the dollar now?

TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared · May 2, 2016

The legacy edition in Ireland is 90, so about £68 ish? So that sounds like a placeholder price.

Betty · May 2, 2016

I'd gladly pay £20 for MW.

But I guess I gotta wait until Activision sell it on it's own.

Yeah, if IW was £40 and the Legacy Edition was £60 then sure. Not when you're basically paying for another full price game by regular pricing standards. I really, really hope this is just a placeholder price but I'm doubting it.

So that's what, $88 US to £60?

What's the Legacy Edition priced at for you?

AssassiN · May 2, 2016

It's £54.99 on the Xbox store.

Legacy Edition is £80, which is more in line with past LEs for CoD titles.

£80, so $117 dollars. It's ridiculous!

Its likely a place order, like every single other Amazon early price listing. I buy my physical almost exclusively from Amazon, I have never been charged the early listing price.

Portugeezer · May 2, 2016

Check closer to launch, probably a temporary price (although from MW2, Activision tried selling COD games for higher). Games this gen have been more expensive, but not £60.

You guys are getting fucked. Might be cheaper to import from the US for you.

I'll be getting it off the US store then. No way I'm paying those prices.

LewieP · May 2, 2016

Just buy it from US PSN for ~£41, or with MW Remastered for ~£55 (Edit: less if you keep an eye out for cheap PSN credit).

Or wait for a different retailer to stock it for less. Typically Sainsburys or Tesco have it at a good price.

I'm sure we'll have to pay import tax and whatnot.

It may well be a placeholder but it's still strangely uncharacteristic from Amazon
Don't think I've ever seen them price a base game at £60?

OverBlood 3 · May 2, 2016

Wait a month and it'll be £25 cheaper.

Rosur · May 2, 2016

Was thinking about it but £60 lol (most are £40 new atm).

Especially when this is true in the UK.

Yeah, for the games that haven't had prices revealed yet the placeholder prices are usually £40-£50, never more. Pokemon Sun and Moon have £40 listings despite being 3DS games because it's just a placeholder, for example.
