On the other hand, if you don't invest it smartly, inflation will eat big chunk of any savings before they're really needed, hence lots of articles in the media are all "Spend now, don't save, you will just lose it!" - and this is just one of the symptoms I reckon. Personally, I am comfy spending that £1.7k but I still think it's way overpriced for simple gaming.

Well standard savings aren't really going to match inflation. Top fixed savings are topping around 5% ? Average inflation going to be around 11% so still losing value even then, you're just limiting the erosion. Investments may beat it, but it's much more risky if you need the cash quicker due to a sudden job loss for example.

Ah yes, the old pound vs the dollar thing seemingly working in near real time by now. Seen that on a lot of launches on here, a single refresh and magically a card is more expensive.

Not just here. I see other site have put their prices up by £100-£200 as well.

Guess it will all be good for the scalpers.

Yup, it’s a hard thing to defend against when it’s been noticed on numerous launches, I just find it amazing someone behind the scenes is cranking card prices seemingly in real time once they meet a certain number left in stock.

It's probably all automated i'd have thought given the speed at which these cards "sell out" by which I mean are slowly "auctioned off"...

I managed to get to the page. The following would be my choice but if I bother later I'd rather get an FE. Would have fomo'd today on the NV website I think if I had the chance :D.

Was tempted with by tbh, at least not much more than an FE.

It’s a ******* joke, these cards are already stupidly priced without shops deciding to pump the customer for more whenever the fancy takes them. Unfortunately it happens year in year out and it’s unlikely to change.
