Standalone game. As for the cost, this is what I was charged
Item(s) Subtotal: £3.37
Postage & Packing: £4.98
-----
Total Before VAT: £8.35
VAT: £1.76
-----
Grand Total: £10.11

Works out around 15euro by my count. Shame about the postage, if only amazon had an irish warehouse

Did you have balance left over from a gift certificate? I one-clicked it and it came out the same price as Winning Hand

It's a good mindless fun game.

Graphics are fantastic, not so much initially but the opening action sequence at Pearl is really great, makes the xbox/ps2 version of Rising Sun look like a pathetic dog in comparison

£5 for postage? It's a f*cking game not a damn console...
I always find it hilarious how someone living 5 miles up the road from me can avail of the super saver delivery, but come south of the border and it's this crap...Amazon are by no means the only one that do this though.


Code:
CD/vinyl 	                     0.39 	1.49
DVD 	                              0.39 	1.49
PC/video game 	                      0.99 	3.99
Book 	                              0.99 	3.99
Video 	                              0.99 	3.99
Toy 	                              0.99 	3.99
Software 	                      0.99      3.99
Electronics & Photo item	    1.99 	4.99
Electronics & Photo accessory	   0.99 	3.99
Home & Garden item	                 1.99 	4.99
Home & Garden accessory              0.99 	3.99
Look at that list...why is a DVD that is usually the excat same dimensions as a game/software box cost £3.11 more to post? Even the weight difference of included manuals etc can't account for that....for christ sake you could have a microwave sent for just another £2
One for the rip off board methinks...
