Question

Baring in mind my limited web access (due to restrictions at work) I can't access most, if not all games console related websites...

Does anyone know who is doing the best deals at the mow and where the local outlets are in relation to Reigate/Redhill area?

Any help much appreciated..

Cheers, Alex

Buy 70 Mars bars and then get on the site www.chocollect.co.uk X-Box for £69. Works out about £90 for an X-box

Druddle - given half a chance mate! (ps thanks for the email, sorry I haven't replied yet - but I think I missed that boat anyhow..)

MIRP! - responsible just about covers it... I have to say that Halo is an awesome game, and as much as I hate to say it, it is worth buying an Xbox for this game alone...

AArrrgghh I will be burn in hell for that.. M$ £!$&!£%$^!!"!£!!

LMAO - you wait until Halo 2 then

Says something though if over a year after release there are still those who'll buy the console for one of the first games available on it - must be a corking game for that amongst other reasons!!!

Shame the majority of the other games are sh1te though.. but thats just like the other consoles, there are only a handful of excellent games...and an abundance of average games....

PS. I'm still thinking about trying to get a NEC Turbo Duo with Lords Of Midnight and Gates Of Thunder... anyone know where I could get these? Just a shoot'em up junkie really!

Try going to a cash and carry like Makro. You'll save yourself alot of money.
I had a look at the website too but there is a limited stock and knowing my luck i'll buy 70 Mars bars and they'll be out of stock of Xbox's

sorry guys but they have now sold out of the X-box's. They did quote enough stock until November but I've seen the link posted on a couple of other forums so I'm guessing they've been inudated with people getting them cheap while they can.

Yep, they are out of stock. Not at all impressed as I bought all the chocys. BOO.[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] A call to Watchdog may be in order as they should have enough stock to cover the period.

Anyway, I have now ordered one through Play.com. They are doing it for £119.99, same as Amazon.co.uk.
