I agree way too much. Fact is as long as we keep paying it they'll probably go up even further and they'll keep making more and more of them as we've seen lately. I'm still looking forward to them though big ouch to the wallet again.
My current pre-order total is over £300. I pre-order everything i'm interested in and narrow down closer to release date when more details are available. It also includes if i've ordered a couple of a particular title if I think it's going to sell out (don't want to be left with a damaged Steel and be forced to pay eBay prices).
