I am still wondering if to get it or not , but any hoo I thought Id ask about pre ordering and what price they were looking for ( I seen amazon was doing it for 26.99 and the collectors one at £30.99 , don't know if you have to order something with it ) so I asked the guy in the shop, SH5 PC do you do pre orders..

NO! ...

We only do pre orders for xbox360 or PS3 or something like MW2 for PC. He said, you could try our glasgow shop ..

I had a look round there shop in Paisley (scotland) and all they had in PC games was the Top 5 and a load of older games.

Live in Glasgow, and ok I'm in my 30's but still interested in Pc games.

PC games in shops, its like Adult mags (or used to be ) in a small corner and very little. Its all Xbox and PS3 in 95% of the shop.

My local gamestation does not do PC games at all anymore. There used to be a small section at the back but now they have extended the Xbox preowned section into it.

Its Game or HMV now, and both are so overpriced most of the games i buy are off the internet or Steam now.

Game seem to have gone down the route of we will stock PC games but charge the same as console.

Same here, our local GameStop has stopped carrying any PC games at all. If you preorder it from them they will get it for you but that's it.

Heh, I stopped buying PC games from retailers a long, long time ago. Number one, they rarely stock what I want, and number two, it's at a vastly overinflated price. All my games come from Amazon.
