Despite there being no retail releases in Europe this week, Amazon are keeping people happy with two potentially great games available for £15 each. Lair and Folklore have both received the less-than-half-price treatment and are now firmly at the top of the bestsellers list for Video Games.
This seemingly random deal has no explanation attached, nor an indication of when it might end. So if you fancy getting two PS3 exclusives for this incredibly cheap price, then do it now. Both titles promise to be excellent fun and we've thoroughly enjoyed our hands on time with both of them. The only problem now is, do you import Lair and pay full price, but get it a month early? Or order it from Amazon for less than half price and wait until mid October? Decisions, decisions ...
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

Placed my order :D
Wasn't going to bother with these but now that I'm getting them for 15 quid each I can just trade them in if they turn out to be gash and still make a profit.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, what a great price.
By the way Kramer, it's called the world wide web and with 80 million people in the UK alone, i would imagine the rest of us make up more than 1% of the readers.

I've pre-ordered them both, but I really don't expect Amazon to honour the price...
They'll come out and say it was an error, raise both games up to full price and hope that people won't bother cancelling the pre-order.

Thanks. :) Preordered my copies - though I bet they change the price before release, since "Pre-order prices are subject to change". :(

Oh yes. Totally pre-ordered it, considering I'll probably be busy playing Warhawk and Heaven Sword next month. I live in Holland, so Amazon UK will ship it for a decent price :) Thanks for the link, guys!

I actually couldn't find any place where it says that. Searched through the confirmation mails sent me, and read through what were written on "pre orders" in the help section of amazon.co.uk, without finding any reference to changing prices.
Anyways, if they turn it up much I'll just cancel the order, no problem :)

Won't even sell for £15 hey, then how come they currently sit at #1 and 2 in the bestsellers list?
That's two unreleased PS3 games outselling possibly the highest rated game of the year... And Folklore is hardly the most well known of upcoming games.
I don't know how much amazon is making off each sale but you can't say that it isn't shifting units.

wh1ttle just use the "current users" option when you write a reply. The password should be in the earlier confirmation emails you have received.
