Sorry, but i find this interesting.

He had £3 in points. Now he has £4.19 in points. So £1.19 up in points.

However it cost him £2 more than if he's bought it at HMV, therefore he's lost 80p overall.

Yes, I understand that - as I said I save my points up and try to get full points on full price items where I can (as long as they are comparable to what Amazon/HMV are selling them for). Maybe Vipp was just after a cheaper item in the short-term or he hadn't taken into account the lower price on Amazon/HMV's site. To be honest, I only noticed yesterday that Amazon had dropped their price to £39.99 (my original pre-order was locked in at £44.99 with them but they had put it up to £49.99 in the interim) as I was considering cancelling and ordering direct from Arrow but decided not to bother after I saw the price drop.

Indeed. I'm a big whirrer.
