Broke down and made another order, despite my rant. Damn deals/exclusives! Just have to hope everything goes well with the order.

I also relented and preordered Evilspeak, claiming the poster in the process.

I have absolutely zero space to hang posters (too many shelving units containing films! ) so I'll just wait it out for the £8.99 pre-order price from HMV / Amazon.

Speaking of the 'Evil A', it has been mentioned that 88's Blastfighter and Nail Gun Massacre have reverted to being only available to Prime members now over at Amazon... which is yet a further example of Amazon flexing their Prime muscles. I'm already finding that I'm ordering less and less from them as the months progress and my orders may end up disappearing altogether if they continue down this pathway.

Luckily, HMV has made a solid comeback as I'd hate to live in a world where Amazon was the only game in town.

I have three poster frames in my room with size for A3 posters so wanted the Evilspeak one to go into rotation.

I only have Amazon Prime because it's cheap for students, but otherwise wouldn't have it and would make all my purchases directly from 88 or from HMV. I agree with you that it isn't healthy for one retailer to dominate so much, not just with books and DVD/Blu-ray, but with just about everything you can think of (and many things you can't).

Plus, only £10 minumum order needed to qualify for free delivery too instead of £20.

I just texted the guys from 88, and they'll look into what's going on with that.

It's disgusting, is it even legal for Amazon to do that, with rumours of another price increase for free delivery can see more and more people not using them
