Dear Mark

Thank you for your email.

We are very sorry we have not yet been able to fulfil your order for the Xbox 360.

Unfortunately we have had a huge number of pre-orders for this item, several of which were placed during May. While your order has unfortunately not been covered by the first batch we received, you can be almost certain to receive one from the second shipment. Regrettably we do not know exactly when this will be.

Please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you and thank you for your patience and valued custom.


Kind regards

Play


*****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I rang Play today to complain about not getting a 360 but people who had ordered after me getting one. spoke to a young man who said he was a supervisor and he said they had basically just gone out to anyone and not in date order.He said a customer ordered only 3 days before the release date and they got one................NOW THAT MAKES ME MAD

I had a preorder for one back in mid september with Special Reserve http://specialreserve.co.uk/ Found out a few days ago they went bust and they have my money. £292.49 out of pocket and no XBOX360

Gonna have to make a claim with Barclays to try and get my money back

Like i said what is the point in pre-ordering, just makes a total sham of it, the thing is if i cancel it now and try and go else where it'll be even longer, but after reading this i'm ringing them again in the morning. *****rs!!!!!!!!!!

I cancelled everything with Play, I'll take my chances in the stores.

I'm going away from Xmas to end of Jan anyway so might just skip it and get the PS3.

Had a result today, missus went shopping in Southampton, walked past Game and asked a geek working there if they had any 360's..

"Got a cancelled order here, it's the Premium with a full package though including all 10 games, extra contoller, but we can't split, yours for just £769.00"

She phoned me and I said buy it!!! the games I don't want I can return to my local store unwrapped and get a credit note or money back if it's possible.

Anyone tried to source the HD vga lead? (The one that allows the 360 to be connected to a PC monitor)
Been absolutely everywhere today and phoned countless 'Game' shops and all have sold out.Desperate for one of these things to hook it up to my Dell 2005FPW
Don't suppose anyone's seen these for sale in the north west have they? (Would rather pick up in a shop as opposed to ordering via the web just cos I ain't patient enough to wait! )

Cheers
