    Went and ordered it from Amazon thinking it was £32. However, they add VAT at the very end which brings it up to £39 (€44). This is the same price as Tesco are selling for so went and cancelled the order

    It changed the VAT rate for me too but this only changed it to £33.81 not £39. Strange that happened to you....I ordered it on Tuesday (10th Nov) though.

    Amazon is registered for VAT in Ireland so they charge the difference between UK VAT (15%) and Irish VAT (21.5%). So the price for CoD: MW2 goes to £33.81 but you can’t be caught for customs and the full 21.5% goes to the Irish exchequer. Also, Amazon delivery times for most items is very good, only about 3 days from ordering cause I think they have a distribution centre here (not 100% on this). Free delivery over £25 as well. So good deals and helps the Irish economy!!

    +1 for Amazon from me too, ordered on Monday, sent Tuesday, arrived today, free shipping.

    £33.81 - I was charged €37.55 on my card which is a very good deal in my opinion and saved me a lot of traipsing around the shops.

    OK, so I only just got the game but it sounds like it will be worth the wait.

    Cheapest listed price is now £38.75 + £6.99 for postage, as it's not an Amazon seller. Amazon's price is currently: £44.99, which is about a euro cheaper than the above price.

    If you have a link to a cheaper Amazon price (XBox360) can you please post it?

    That price is from a third-party, not Amazon. Expect to pay £7 postage on top of that price.

    I think amazon have a wierd price matching algorithm take for example Band of Brothers blu ray set - last night it was 17.58 but when play.com lowered their price today it went down to £15.98.

    That would explain what was going on with the amazon price fluctuations.
