Taken from their site.

I got

Project Gotham Racing 3 44.99 GBP

Condemned: Criminal Origins 49.99 GBP

Call of Duty 2 40.03 GBP

Perfect Dark Zero - Limited Edition 49.99 GBP

So i'd probably keep Call of Duty, but what about the rest, total rubbish?

I went for the same pack but have got an email just now saying my credit card has been declined?? I can pay by debit card but now their phone lines are closed!! What can I do?? I was so looking forward to this

Uh oh!!, you may be out of luck. However, ring them first thing tomorrow morning and give them your order no and pay by a debit card.

Not really any further advice i can give. However, on the plus side once all the allocated stock was sold they closed down that link, so there isn;t anybody waiting for your xbox if you know what i mean.

Ring first thing tomorrow!!

Unlucky

If you have enough available credit on your card then you've either made a mistake when entering the details in (which can happen when you're rushing to get the order in!)

Or, the bank has declined it as a security measure as the purchase amount is substantially higher than usual. So you have to call the bank and tell them to remove the temporary "bar"

AFAIK with Game, your current order is put on hold until you phone them. At that point, they make a new order, however this is subject to the items being in stock with you phone. Which is unlikely now. But as you've already made an order when they did have stock, you may get lucky and they may allow you to order again anyway.

I got same package.

Perfect Dark Zero comes out best in reviews - That's the game I would have bought anyway.

Then it's a toss up betweek Call of Duty 2 and PGR3, I'm not into racing games so Call of Duty 2 would be my 2nd choice.

Ain't really seen anything of Condemned

Off to read some reviews.

Well I can't provide you with links to documentation that is MS access only, can I? I have provided you with facts, just because I am unable to give you a link doesn't mean it's not true. You only have to look at how Game has just had some more stock come in to see that supplies are being provided as and when they can get them out.

From what I hear: MS are still producing as many xboxes as they possible can and shipping them as fast as they can.
From what I hear: I can't provide you with a link to prove this because I don't have access to the MS internal systems.
From what I hear: I know that what I have said on here is the truth. I posted to be helpful, so that people will know there is still some chance of getting an xbox before Christmas

It may or may not be true, this is just hear say not fact. I've altered it as there are no 'facts' to back up what you have heard, it's just hear say.

Anyway, thanks to the peeps who posted links to where we could get the XBox 360s from.

Don't know if anybody has pointed this out but that's two days in a row that Game.net have put core packages up for sale at 4:30pm. Might be worth checking there tomorrow.
