Shows how needy people get. :p
My mum said that this guy she knows pre-ordered the console and one game. But when he went to collect it they said he had to pay an extra £200 for the other games. That special £635 package, even though he didnt order that.
Well, that's what she said.

Yeah stuff like that's been happening a lot. A friend of mine paid a £20 deposit and was told that if he didn't go and pick it up before 12pm GAME would sell it.

Thankfully he's not one to be messed about and knows his rights; a pre-order is a legally binding contract, so the company have to give you what you ordered.

Haha in America you can put a deposit where you can have them hold a game/console and keep adding to the deposit for them holding the game/console. And fromw hat you add you subtract.

So I have an Idea for PS3 I'll keep adding and have my 10% membership and when they have a sale.... Woo...

So hard to get, looks great though, I played Call of Duty 2 and King Kong for it in GAME, and the graphics are quality.

i sold mine on ebay for 647 pounds and i had two im keepin the other tho

[NekkLe]

its not that gr8 tho

Whats not so great about it? I think its a great looking console, from what I've seen of it in GAME, it looks pretty good.
I don't think its a waste of money, the console pays for itself after you play the games already released for it.

I guess you'll stick with your Nintendo?

Does anyone know how much Microsoft are going to lose on this console? I read somewhere that they'll have to sell millions (or whatever) to make a profit.

[GoldenMerc]

yea there losing a quarter of the profit

I would think it is more than just some 'millions' They'll sell at least 1-2 million in Britain alone.. Then in america they'll sell loads :p and everywere else..
