    Don't get me started on ridiculous pricing.

    I'm holding off on this for a damn good reason.

    The last game I paid over 30 quid for I got a whole Pipboy with.

    I would guess he's talking about La Vera. Possibly the best pizzeria in Birmingham, run by actual Italians, and pretty inexpensive. It's in the city centre on Martineau Way, just off lower Bull Street, up the stairs where KFC is. There used to be a Pizza Hut nearby. Used to be ;)

    Too lazy to copy/paste this. Besides, we like pictures in this thread.

    Pre-Orders are a pretty atrocious business practice that really need to stop (like remasters).

    But Civ VI? That's a new low. I thought they were better than that. I now worry it'll be low in content. Any developer who has pre order bonuses normally ends up skimping on content to get more DLC packs into the game. Why would you pay for a piece of software you don't receive straight away, without knowing how finished it is, or how good it's going to even be?

    I don't do pre-ordering for the same reason. not spending my money on something when I don't know what I am going to get.

    I Pre-Ordered Fallout 4. It reminded me why I shouldn't do it again.

    I work on the theory I am only going to pre order something if I am 100% sure that, even if it's a steaming pile of garbage; I am content with having paid the money for it

    I don't regret my Pip-boy edition of F4, mainly because I feel I definitely got my money's worth, but I won't go and pre-order F5 (if) it releases after the state of F4.

    I continue to pre-order things because I'm a bloody idiot. Funny thing is, it's only in the latter years that this has started biting me in the bum.

    Speaking of demote, I bought bf4 on xbox one along with premium purely for the extra maps for nigh on £100 and what do you know, they give it away free anyway! :wallbash:

    I pre-ordered BF1 - Early Enlister Edition, I'm all lubed up and ready to be violated (much like the BF4 launch I suspect) :lol:

    Double RMA today. Coolermaster mechanical keyboard, because it had 3 dead LED (keys C,M, left Ctrl). What is worse, i had to RMA my phone because the battery decided the space reserved for it was not enough :

    This just a week after i finally pushed myself to do a factory reset and redo my settings from scratch.
