    here's the funny thing - i used a 5% voucher so got mine for 199.49 - they took that originally so i got 10% instant cashback from egg money which brings the price down to £180. They then refunded this, but the cashback didnt get removed. now theyve taken the 199.49 again and i got 5% cashback (as gg money has now changed to 5%)

    so all in all it will cost me £170!! :)

    What are you actually getting here? The full package that was originally advertised (games, faceplate etc) or just the console itself for £209?
