    Just been to Dixons in Liverpool and bought one for my 9 yr old son (out of his christmas money)

    He is delighted as his elder brother got an ipod for christmas.

    Currently charging. Hope I can figure out how to get videos on it.

    Thanks op.

  • Managed to get one from my local Currys.

    I phoned Currys on 0870 609 7369 and they checked the stock levels for me. I am in Glasgow and they said that Braehead had 24, Uddingston had 22 and Great Western Road had 18.

    They are still marked as £149.99 in store but go through the till as £49.99 when the assistant selects special offers. Make sure you have the 3 boxes( player, cable and case.)

    Thanks

    Patricia

    forgot to say the item code is 756535 otherwise they cannot check the stock level without this.

    Do you have to pay £19.99 extra for the cables?
  • no - box for player, box for cables, box for leather case
    £149 + £20 + £20 = £49.99

    can we get some concensus on how to rip a dvd?
    I've kicked off a thread in techie questions.
