Ok, check back here at 12.30pm today when I shall be back home and I shall give you a full run down report of whether I got it, what the staff said, if there are more, and anything else you may need to know. (I must say, I absolutely draw the line at scanning in proof of my purchase if I get it, come on guys, lets not be hostile)

So, see ya back here in a few hours ok....

Godspeed

None @ Dixons/Currys stores in Exeter.

err.... mow that I have bought one, I can't seem to find any games for it online - checked on https://www.play.com etc. and they don't do them for the PSOne. Am I resigned to rifling through the bargain bins at Woolies ???

Any suggestions gratefully received, sure others that order from this thread will also benefit.

From personal experiance I have found car boots to be the place to pick up a bargain psone game, though watch out for 'traders' as they tend to want stupid money. I never look to pay more than 2-3 quid for a game.

Hope that helps

If that remark is referring to my previous post on this thread then I must apologise for seeming hostile

Offering to scan my receipt was an attempt to be helpful, so anyone that wanted to could print it off and arm themselves with it if they wanted to try to buy it from Currys. Theoretical conversation with Curry's SAs, "My friend/colleague/abstract family member bought it from Liverpool and was charged only £14.99!" That sort of thing!

Sorry for not making that clear, especially to Godspeed whose post I was answering.

I picked up a few from Cash Converters (pawn shop) yesterday, various titles at £2 and £3. I've seen lots for sale on eBay too.

Yes I have just phoned again to make sure and the man I spoke to said you only get the games. They have phoned me back and said it will be removed over the weeked to say 3 games for £19.99.

Have a few imported PsOne games that I'm giving away. If there's anyone around the Central London area who can think of a way of obtaining them WITHOUT exchanging personal details(against board rules) they can have them.

Thanks to OP. Got myself a PSone. The missus will love it, as she looooooooooooooooves Spyro so much! Just that one game will keep her happy. £15 to see her smile like a little girl will be wonderful
