This was posted on Hotukdeals, if you add the item to your basket it comes up at ?5. people have been ordering them, its a 50/50 chance. you either get it or you dont. but well worth the effort if it pays off.

It's probably 5 pound to cost to preorder it?

Yeah like Demon says, it's proberly ?5 just to preorder + the amount of people who would have bought it by now would mean that you won't get it on Day of release - which is what i want :D

No, people have emailed them and asked, the price in the basket is the price you pay, its a missprice, but they have the right to refuse it, some people say, sometimes hmv honour them.

here, read it your self, im going to bed.

HMV will most likely cancel all orders, considering how small a cut they reportedly get selling a game at full price I dont think they would remotely consider giving you the game at a loss :P

Yeah, the same happened with Dell i tihnk it was, a while ago. You could get an amazing laptop for something stupid like ?100. Of course, it spread around the web, and they wondered why there was so much demand for it, and cancelled all the orders before they could be shipped out :(

The question is, will they honour the 5 pound price......

Thats the point, most of the time, they cancel the order. but on occasion they will send them out for the price advertised. Argos did the same thing with a TV and they honoured it. its the chance you take, and wouldnt it have been worth the 5 mins of setting up an account for the chance of a ?5 game?
