I was in Gamestation yesterday picking up an MS racing wheel (another story) and I spotted that they wanted £50 for the new Marvel game, £45 for DiRT2, and had a shelf space with pre-order markers for Forza 3 price set to £50.
Now thats seriously taking the piss. And IIRC it might actually be illegal for them, because back in the 90's the EU passed a law stating that no computer game could charge above a pre-set maximum price and it could ONLY charge the max if the game contained new technology. Hence why some games made on pre-made engines (Unreal Engine etc) are cheaper to buy new.
