Amazon UK putting the price of GTA:SA up

Archived from groups: alt.games.grand-theft-auto (More info?)

Well was just about to put my advance order for SA in and guess what
Amazon UK have put the price up to practically £30 (from £25ish) :-(.
So what if it's a limited edition - I want the game and not some
novella!? Anyway looks as if play.com as getting my money :-D

In my experience Play.com's customer service is excellent........and is
usually cheaper than Amazons.........and no extra postage charge!

It's still way up there in the charts (And; their FAQs page is still
getting the most hits on gamefaqs.com).

If you think that's bad, imagine my disappointment at the background
story DVD only being available on the two CD official soundtrack as
opposed to the boxset. This is before San Andreas Radio appeared on the
web, and I still haven't got most of the GTA:SA soundtrack out of my
head.

Cool email by the way, I've just started Hogfather (Only need three more
for the entire TP collection).


Cheers,
Rob

Nice to hear some reassurance, thanks fellas! Looking forward to getting to
grips with San Andreas, not long now.
