They're pushing game pricing up significantly, Ghosts is £40 preorder on Xbox 360. That's ridiculous.
EDIT: Actually, I guess we need to be careful.
From Amazon:
"Pre-order Price Guarantee: order now and if the Amazon.co.uk price decreases between the time you place your order and the release date, you'll be charged the lowest price."
So basically these prices are upper bounds, they could easily come down.
Amazon does this on pre-orders occasionally – the real price is unknown, so instead of providing a low estimate, they deliberately have a high estimate. In reality you'll only pay whatever the real price is – they don't take you money at this point anyway.
I guess they'd rather say to early customers "Hey, it's half what you might have expected!", rather than "Ah, turns out it's double what you thought".
