    Wii is damn cheap... Looks dodgy though, there is no phone number for a 'company' ?? I recon it looks like a scam unless u can actually go down to the shop and pick the item up without getting mugged or beaten up by the scammers... ??

    Seems too cheap!!! Look a bit suspect......

    Cheapest Lite is from Duty Free Dixons - £85 - you have to fly somewhere though!!!

    I need one by Saturday though so I'm on the lookout also!

    If you have IE7 you can see the HMV dog in the address bar. They have ripped the HMV website. DO NOT USE

    There's an offer on Littlewoods at the moment on DS's. Try google for some vouchers and it works out at a good price

    I just happend to come across this thread trying to do some research on that same company and thought I'd sign up and say I found it to point towards a con,

    I thought it to good to be true but there was only one way to find out so I placed an order. A few bizarre emails of "We received an order, about to confirm" later my senses were alerted so I tried to email them back

    There Website has gone and there DNS server has failed, they are trying to dissapear.


    I warn anyone who also tried to do business with them to check with there credit card companys that nothing has gone out to them.

    I got a Nintendo DS y'day with exactly the game I wanted and the best price I've seen.

    Virgin Megastore - £100 for a DS Lite + More Brain Training.

    The guy indicated that you could get any game (probably up to £20) but it's exactly what I wanted.

    Well I might get another one too - I'm waiting till I go abroad in August as the DS Lite was £85 in Dixons Duty Free - hopefully they reduce their price also....
