    Fantastic! Ended up with several of these as an excellent last-minute Christmas present.. me included :D

    From sheer curiosity, does anyone know who the company who makes these is? (Technika being the rebranded name).
  • Hiya folks,

    Thanks to all who posted on this - i have been looking at these for weeks and trying to decide what to do as my 3 sons want one for xmas. I bid for and won one for £16 on ebay and thought that i was doing well there. Alas no when i see that i got 3 for less than £30. The ebay one i will keep for myself.

    Anyway to cut a long story short, Tesco Extra, Kingsway, Dundee had loads of them left - on at least 2 shelves near the door and at another location in the shop down near the dvd's etc etc i think. You cant miss them. If you still want one and want me to try and get one for you if you live locally just let me know via pm and i will see what i can do no my next trip.

    Hope im allowed to post this.

    Hope this helps anyone local.

    Merry Chrissiemas when it comes. :rudolf: :xmastree: :rudolf:

    PS thanks to original poster for this
  • Just picked up 2 of these from my local Tesco in Falkirk.

    The display where they had them was empty, but when i asked they told me to go to the customer services desk, as they only had a few left.

    Its such a great bargain as I had been looking at them in Comet, they have a Proline 256mb for £19.99 which i thought was cheap. Glad I hadnt got round to buying one!

    Also, play.com are selling their own branded version for £29.99:

    which looks remarkably similar to the Technika model:

    Great to get a bargain at this time of year! :money:

    Interesting they state that its upto 15 hours of playback from one AAA. I think mine is a bit more power hungry than that.

  • They've got them in Lowestoft Tesco, too (the big one). If you don't see any on the shelf, ask a member of staff, as they have loads out the back.

  • Just back from Tesco Extra, Edinburgh, Corstorphine where they just got a huge pile of new stock in.

    Must be at least 200 in a bin in the centre isle next to where the toys are.

    I just bagged 4 for me & a mate.

    Go get em !!!

    Luckily just managed to get mine from Canada Water Tesco's. Phoned about 10:00 and they said they had just got some in and put them out. I got there about 11:30 and just about found the 3 that I wanted!

    (They were amongst the display - there were none on the actual shelf.) :eek:

    Plenty in swindon near the xmas gifts (or there was at the weekend). However, they've removed the pricing sneaky little devils.
