Last time I checked you can't play them all. But they're adding more all the time that you can play - you have to download a patch to enable you to play the games. Easy enough to do by either getting on Xbox live (you'll get a free month trial with your console anyway) or downloading it and burning to DVD then running in your console.

I'd recommend getting at least a 20gig drive though, but I think 60gig is minimum now. He may not want to go online, but it does greatly limit the number of save games he can do without a harddrive.

Hi,

as written above, I used Additions for my Wii.
It has arrived today.

Synthesis
Wii sports pack console
Price: £179.00
GBP 30 FIRST ORDER
SUBTOTAL £149.00
NEW VAT RATE SAVINGS - £3.82
P&P £3.95
TOTAL INCLUDING DELIVERY £149.13

Since I used TopCashBack I also earned a 9% cashback...

Additions took 179pound on my credit back and gave me back 30 pound on the credit card at the same time on the 12th. I ordered on the 7th and the expected delivery was by the 14th. it actually arrived on the 15th.
The customer service has been helpfull when I contacted them on the 13th asking if the product was already dispatched. They said that it was dispacthed by the manufacturer on the 12th and thus I can't really complaint for a day of delay taking in consideration the discount too...
Now my sister is gonna try and order the Wii fit using the code...
Let's see...

The additions deal looks amazing really!i was taken in by this and ordered on 2/2/09 only to be told after the expected delivery date (and only after a few phone calls from myself) that my order had been lost! to compensate this, they dont just send out a replacement, oh no- they make you cancel your order and then place another!!which, reluctantely i did, only due to the extra £30 discount which made them cheaper than others. This was then due on 16/2/09- i patiently waited until 19/2 then called only to be informed that i would have to cancel and re-order AGAIN!!!! Needless to say, i have completely cancelled my order and puchased from John Lewis instead to collect in store at only £159.95- yes, £10 more but worth every penny!! This company have provided nothing but a completely Z class service. I am sure that many other may have had a good experience but I will certainly NEVER use any of the Littlewood companies again!

Looks a good deal (although suspiciously like advertising if you ask me). Anyone here had any dealings with Sci Tech? Are they reliable or is this just a scam?
