Hey...

Need some advice..I'm soon to be going to US for a short holiday and was wondering what are the current best buys?

Was thinking of picking up...

1) X-Box (and most extras)
2) Impreza Custom Car Cover - from Cali-Covers.com
3) Maybe a Center Arm Rest for my MY00
4) Maybe a Valentine 1

Any recommendations......

Thanks....

If you could bring me back a family-size box of Cinne-bon (found in all good malls) pastries, smothered in that rich butter icing.....

Why would you buy an Xbox from the US when they are only £199 in the UK now? If you 'do' save any money its not likely to be more than £20 - I would buy one here and enjoy the fact you can play UK games and can take it back anytime if it goes wrong.

Going for an US X-box cos its R1 - therefore play RCE DVD's unlike my Sony DVD Player (chipped) ages ago and therefore not RCE compliant. And its another £100 to rechip it.

Hope this clears it up

Regional Coding Enhancement (RCE) has recently been added by Warner and Columbia to certain Region 1 DVD’s. RCE will prevent the DVD from playing on some “Multi-Region” DVD players.

P1Fanatic: you can get Cinnebon over here - there's one in Southampton's new shopping centre (whose name eludes me)
