Amazon UK now have a price £257.51.
How can The Spin site sell it so much cheaper? I'm sort of worried about whether there may be something wrong with the set. Could there be such a thing as slightly damaged? Although the description is identical to the more expensive sellers!
The price of an item (especially CDs, Vinyls, DVDs, Blurays) on Amazon typically fluctuates widely before its release date (more so on the US than the UK site). This is because Amazon's pricing is based on an automated algorithm that takes into account of such factors as the number of clicks, the frequency of the item being added into the shopping cart, etc. The price usually settles down at a much lower--and competitive--level on the release date, and often (but not always) goes even lower post-release.
Unless you think an item risks of being selling out immediately upon release, there is really no need to pre-order an item on Amazon (although Amazon guarantees that the price you pay on a pre-ordered item would be no higher than the price on its release date, you may miss out if the price goes even lower post-release).
