I was waiting to see how much Shadow of Morder was going to be, and it was sold out straight away. I will wait for the next Steam sale.

I was also keeping an eye on the Xbox deal, but it isn't that good a deal.

Quoting this to make fun of the Xbox bundle.

No way in hell is that xbox bundle worth £481.07; http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00P8WA81G/

Blatant false advertising to make the upcoming reduction look better.

These are amazon prices

Xbox one console with COD:AW AND Forza 5 £329
Controller £34.85
12 months gold £38.49

total £402.34

If they were to reduce an already discounted bundle it would be value; but even £100 off £481.07 wouldn't be worth it.

Price is not bad! My italian is a bit rusty, so I couldn't spot any mention of any memory card being included, which they usually are in these bundles.. Did I miss something or does it not include one?

It probably doesn't. Box only says 1GB integrated memory and description is absent.

Wow. Well, it's no big deal. Still playing Destiny, haven't even opened FC4, and the Destiny extension is coming soon. When I will finally have time for Mordor, it will probably have dropped to that price permanently anyway.

Amazon being sneaky fucks. I was interested in the Adonit jot touch, which is normally £79.99. I know because I visited the page earlier today. Amazon just put it up at £59.99, marking it as 40% off. When I went to the product page, suddenly it is reduced from £94. It has never been £94 - even the third party sellers are all around £79. So it's a 25% reduction, not 40% you cheating sods.

Lol, down to 20% now!!! My god, I've never seen anything like that.

Seems to have stabilised at 20%. I just can't believe it, it takes like a second to look up bundles and see just how bad of a deal you're getting.

Disgusting.

I feel we should start screengrabbing before and after prices and kick up a fuss. Totally unacceptable to pull this BS.

Im not surprised that Amazon are doing this, Im surprised that people have only just noticed.

Its the reason sites like camelcamelcamel exist. Amazon are like Asda in a way, they put prices up immediately before and after a deal. They have been doing this for years.

Thats why you always have to check if an Amazon "deal" is really a deal.

I think it's again the law? I'm sure it has to have been at the price they quote for a significant period and I'm sure it's part of trading law in the Uk

I think you're right, but I'm sure amazon care for uk laws regarding that as much as they do the tax laws. Probably there's some loophole to do with distance selling over the internet or something.

Well I realised that Amazon usually discount products, so I went to the product oage earlier today to see what the current discount was, so I could better assess what the extra discount was really worth. But I didn't expect them to mark it up way beyond RRP.

One thing is for sure, Amazon hasn't been a retailer for deals for quite some time now. You get lucky ones here and there, but most of the time you could of gotten the item at similar price elsewhere.

The exception are these lightening deals but its clear how limited they are.

I buy from amazon because ease of returns and general customer service. Not because of their prices.

Also, third party sellers.

Only issue with those is Tesco is horrible when it comes to OS updates. saying that I don't know what Amazon is like with the kindle (since it runs off android but is highly themed)

Amazon really have been intolerable lately. Sick of their entitled TV ads for Fire tablet and smartphones and the stupid lets bundle VOD with next day delivery sub. I've stopped pre ordering with them as other sites have better prices and give free 1st class delivery (vs 3-5 day free delivery - ugh). And as I said earlier their entire gaming section home page is just one huge ass Xbone advert which just seems wrong.
