Just got a call from MPH that the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Price will be release this Saturday and my pre-oder is available at either Gurney Plaza MPH or Gurney Tower MPH. Both will open at 7.30am on Saturday morning specially for this release. This got me all excited, till the lady on the phone says the book price for Malaysia has been set by the publisher to be RM99.90. Since I have paid already the RM70, will need to bring another RM29.90 when I collect the book this weekend. What a rip off. I have only myself to blame for making the order in the first place. I guess the lesson learnt in the previous Order of the Phoenix release was easily forgotten. I should have waited for a few months where the book will be significantly cheaper, and most of all, J.K Rowling was very disappointing on the previous book. The only consolation is that the receipt is still tax deductible.
