Haven't seen any for about 3 weeks.
Got ours at the start of March and it was faulty straight out of the box - I've never heard my 9 year old son say so many swear words before.
I've been digging around for a new one since then but not seen anything.

Best bet is second hand mate, you will struggle to find one for a while yet. Check out the gaming sales on AV Forums Home they have some for sale from time to time, plus are not allowed to sell over the RRP.

Order one from Amazon germany (amazon.de), use babelfish to translate it or have another Amazon uk window open at the same time so you know roughly what it is saying.

I would adivse you open a UK Amazon account first then log in to the Germany Amazon to save registering in german!

You will need to put on a UK plug to it when it arrives but apart from that it exactly the same (barring the German instructions but you can work it out)

Gameplay have been churning them out mail order consistently since around mid-Jan.

Only downside is you have to bundle it with a game. Mine was sent within 3 days of ordering (mid-Feb) but the postie "lost" it... another one was sent through within two weeks. (D'oh!)

I go mine off eBay. Prices range from 150-400 depending on how silly people are.

http://www.play.com have them for £400 as do Amazon.co.uk: low prices in Electronics, Books, Music, DVDs & more

Got mine from Gameplay as well within a week, they do promise within 2 weeks but usually quicker.
