Looks like they are confidentally predicting a £10 discount

Personally, I'll still order through SS.

I agree, interestingly though they are predicting a 19 March 2010 release date.

All of this rushing to pre order the game really gets you nowhere. We saw this with SHIII and SHIV.... people were rushing to be the first to get the game. In reality, those who ordered through subsim, and therefore helped our community, got their games just as fast as anyone else.

Personally speaking, I'd wait a few days to allow things to settle....release dates have been known to change without notice.

After waiting and waiting I finally at 2:00pm see the UPS guy coming down the street with my pre-order SH4.

Hee! Hee! I get it before anyone else.

The phone rings and it's a buddy of mine.

Before I can tell him about my good fortune he says... " I would've called you sooner but I was haveing to much fun playing SH4 I got at GameStop at 10:00am this morning."

I´d wait. Every site with pre-order option has other release dates and prices. The german amazon site offers SH5 for 44.99 EUR on 15 Feb. 2010.

Yes there is little point in preordering at this stage, besides there may also be another "limited edition" version on the way.

Interesting to see that the retail price of PC games has been "sneaked up" yet again by another £5 by the publisher, at this rate PC games will soon be the same price as their console counterparts.

You watch. After about mid point of pre-order until release they'll offer a special version at same discount price with some little goodie in it.

Then what will you do ?
