I get my money's worth, I'll sometimes fire up COD / COD2 sometimes when I'm needing to kill some virtual nazis.I don't buy anything at release anymore. Not on PC. Any PC game will be on sale within a month.

If you get it just before its out it will be around £50. On PC they release at £40. They know PC players aren't dropping any more than that.
Its really bad for any electronics at all. A lot of the time our computer parts cost the same in £ as they do in $.. its ridiculous.
Pre-ordering to me seems like trolling for suckers. Seriously, what's the point when you have digital delivery?
I've paid full price for a game exactly once in the last 20 years (Skyrim... All the DLC too). Last years titles are new to me.
. Bonus: you don't have to be on the ragged bleeding edge (or anywhere near it) with hardware. I've heard you guys get boned on hardware pricing. With VAT, that's gotta hurt (unless it's included, then it hurts a little less).
