Well done, Amazon, you can't even do a shitty broken sale properly.
When you go through to the checkout it should show the discount, or it did for me anyway.. -

In the basket it said £14.85 or whatever they were, and underneath a line that said Promotional Price - £11.64, when I clicked through to checkout it was up at £14.85. -

Registered 16 years agoVanquish 360 version was £20.99 this morning and is now £17.99, so maybe that deal has already kicked in?
The PS3 version is still currently £20.99 and the timer is still going on the Black Friday page.
Zavvi has both versions for £17.95. -

Play have it for £17.99 in their Mad/Mega Monday sale so they're just trying to stop people going elsewhere -

Looking through the recent items, looks like more of a 'look what we found in the back of the van' sale. -

Went for Vanquish on the £17.99 mentioned above. Got the Amazon Prime service so delivery should be fine.
Though racing stuff isn't really my bag, I noticed they had Blur for £12 so I figured why not. -

It is a crap sale though. -
