For what it's worth another email

Dear Customer,

Thank you for contacting Amazon.co.uk.

I'm sorry for any confusion caused in this regard.

I've checked your order, and the current Amazon.co.uk price for "Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)" is 37.96 GBP.

However, it was listed at 17.59 GBP when you placed. Because this item is eligible for the Pre-Order Price Guarantee, when the item is released and dispatched, you will pay either 17.59 GBP or, if the price decreases between now and up to and including the release date, the lowest price over that period.

If the Amazon.co.uk price should increase between now and up to and including the release date, you will still be charged 17.59 GBP.

The actual price you are charged will be displayed in the confirmation of dispatch e-mail you receive, as well as in Your Account.

If your order enters the dispatch process before the release date and the price is lowered on the release date, we will automatically refund the difference between the price you were charged and the lowest price between dispatch and release date.

I hope I have been able to address your concerns.

For more information on pre order price guarantee, please visit our Help pages at:

Pretty confident we've managed to get away with it. Not because of the emails, but because every time they do cancel these types of mispriced preorders, they always cancel them within a day.

GT5 for less than ?20, booya:DD

I guess you went with super saving? lol.

I caved and paid for 1st class, I demand this game on launch or a day or two before... chances are the super saving orders will show up on launch day anyway, that's what usually happens and people that pay for postage look silly.

edit:> I just noticed even with 1st class it's still under ?20, I thought it was just over. (Grand Total: ?19.53)

Yeah I never spend money on delivery at Amazon, and you nailed it on the head, it almost always arrives on launch day or one day earlier for me.

I guess if it's a pre-order because they ship early anyway you get it on release day.

I noticed I can change my postage option, I might change it back to super saving :p I don't think it affects the order.

Cannot afford... damn wish this was going when the 10% off code worked. I'd probably of bit the bullet then, but I'll wait for now... ?29 is good, but it's not the type of bargain GT5/Batman wa:):) edit:b> In fact Batman is back to full price now, damn these deals end quick! Might have to pre-order then cancel later if I want to...

I guess they must have filled up their preorder allocation already and that's why it's back up to full price. Glad I ordered it in time.

If you're interested in Assassin's Creed 2 I'd preorder it just now too, just in case it's a similar story. Don't need to worry about the money now cause obv they won't take any until it's shipped.

I've done a quick check and it's the cheapest around by ?5.

I also just noticed it's being released in November, I always thought it was September for some reason. As it's that far off I just put in a pre-order, I'm skint just now but I'll be fine then...

Not a bad haul the last few days!

The emails look like templates/automated and mean nothing to me. As you say, as time goes on we may just get it for ~?20 but I don't want to think like that or they'll probably cance:p:p

That's what was in my last post, but P&P is ?5 so it's actually more expensive than Shopto.>

They also take money up front for preorders and I don't think it's possible to cancel an order unless you call and ask.

Edit: nevermind I missed this..

Free Delivery on all Pre-Order Releases

Sorry ignore that, all preorders are free. Otherwise delivery is ?5 (which in itself is shocking).

My bad people.

Still, I think I will order from Shopto and receive it early and possibly with any extras they secure for it. (might not happen but they are more likely than Tesco to get one:pp).

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years

      Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
