Does anyone know the Pricing Policy at Gameplay? meaning if the price goes up you pay the lower price, and if price goes down you pay the new lower price? Its just that they have a few PS3 Games quite cheap, and dont want the prices to be adjusted.

It should be the same policy for all sites, whatever price you pre-order at, that's the price you pay. If it goes up, you pay the price you pre-ordered at. However if it goes down then your pre-order price will go down as well :)

You doing this just for future games or for any PS3 game we find an offer on?

It should be the same as Xbox one, so if you find for example Motorstorm at £5, thats a deal and should be posted. As I would probably buy that...

P.S. - .Kick what is you PSN account, I have not found it anywhere. That is you have a PS3

That's not always true. They don't need to honour any price unless money has been taken from your account already. That is why they don't take money until they've actually sent the game etc.

Remember the big thing last year with Amazon and everyone tried to preorder Folklore and Lair for £15?

Yeah, didn't exactly happen did i:p:p

I said it 'should', I thought they cancel the orders if the price is a mistake, like the Amazon gaffle!

I know Game and Shopto don't charge you a higher price if they increase it during the pre-order (Happened a few times to me, pre-order price stayed the same)

By Danish law you aren't allowed to increase the price after ordering / pre-ordering with user confirmation.

I know that the standard "pay the lowest price" rule is on Play.com and Game.co.uk, cant say i have checked any others though

That's why I said not always true, because even then they can f*** you over.

Also, "gaffle", wtf lol
