    Amazon trying to be funny.

    I was ordering a new game from Amazon and got this message, made me laugh! Specially as it's an 'Important message'. Link

    Funny, but it's all automated, so not a surprise you'll get things like that.

    Interestingly, Play.com will always use the lowest price. If you buy something at £10 and it goes up to £11, you get it for £10. If however, it goes down to £9, you get it for £9
