As you can see from the thread title, Amazon.co.uk is listing both Folklore and Lair for £14.95 each! This is an absolute steal! And automatically makes both games MUST BUYS... well at least for me. For what reason the games are this price are unknown, whether it is a mistake or not by Amazon, I do hope they honour their pricing.

Anyway as you can see Lair and Folklore are now the number 1 and 2 bestselling items for videogames.

I just preordered my copies =D

Normally would say yes, but I remember that little episode on GAF with the Euro demo 576i or whatever the PAL standard is, so it's possible it won't run in SD on a NTSC TV. Possible. Don't know 3;

Amazon has made pricing mistakes before, and I'm pretty sure they don't honor them, so I wouldn't get your hopes too high.

I'm just glad that I managed to create a thread... yay! I thought I wouldn't have thread creating abilities..

Anyway! Theres really no harm trying even if they do end up not honouring their prices.

I got Just Cause on 360 for £30 from an Amazon price error.

Thanks dude, ordered Lair, I might be getting a review copy from Sony, but I can always trade it in.

They haven't, I ordered COD2 GOTY edition for £17.99 with them as well as another game, they took them both off their database and we didn't get them for that price, was well pissed off.

That said, I have pre-ordered Lair just in case:lol

Amazon NEVER honors price mistakes, they will fix the price and email you saying either cancel or we will charge you the full price.

Fuck this shit, I already pre-ordered Lair on eBay and can't cancel -_-

But I doubt this will stick, Amazon will bump up the price to the real RRP closer to release.

EDIT: lol, hang on, Lair has been delayed in the UK to the 17th of October :lol I'll keep my US pre-order thanks.

Will they just cancel my order, or will they suddenly try to charge me more?

I'm sure Amazon.co.uk have honoured price mistakes in the past. I ordered Lost Planet's special edition from there while the price was £10 lower than it should have been and it stuck.

It is Amazon's policy that if you commit to buy any item, you pay the price stated. And if the price goes down from the time you order, you will also pay that cheaper price.

Amazon did a pricing error on R6V for PS3 a few months before it came out. After they fixed the price they said I could pay the real price or cancel the order and didn't offer me any kind of coupon.

Yeah, this was the US store.

American or British? If British I guess this clears it up and the dream is over.

I've never seen Amazon US honor a price mistake, I dunno if it would be any different for UK. And yeah, these are supposed to be the guides, that'll get caught in processing.

I'm pretty sure it'll break british trading standards law if they change the price they sold it at to you. I don't doubt they will change the price, but those who have already ordered it, should be able to get it at the price they bought it.

I just pre-ordered folklore.
I might get LAIR, even though I have no interest in it. Should be able to make a small profit on eBay?

Amazon.co.uk is very competitive. They offer prices lower than the RRP all the time, and for most items, for videogames anyway. I did an economics paper on the prices for all the major gaming retailers in the UK and Amazon.co.uk is by far the cheapest and they always have the lowest prices, a lot of the time much lower than the RRP.

The same can't be said for Amazon.com though, which seems to have prices very close to the RRP.

Uh? I don't know about Amazon (UK) but Amazon.ca always honor their prices. I was hunting through game pre-orders hoping to find price mistakes and got many games at a much lower price thanks to that.
