Men's formal wear hire/purchase - any recommendations?

Not sure if I've posted this in the right place, but feel free to move it if there is somewhere better (I've also posted it on the Student board)

I was just wondering if anyone is able to help me.... I need to hire or buy a dinner suit (tuxedo, trousers, shirt, bow tie, etc.) for a university ball next weekend, but being a student I'm on a fairly tight budget and so was wondering if anyone can recommend anywhere with good prices.
I don't mind hiring if the price seems reasonable, but if I could buy for a decent price I'd consider that too. So far I've seen that Moss do a set to hire for just under £40 (including student discount), and a website (www.mytuxedo.co.uk) that does a set to buy for just over £100. These aren't bad prices I suppose, but don't really want to fork out £40 to wear something once! I was wondering if anyone knows of any other sites with better prices, or any national chains or Birmingham based shops that have better deals.
Any help would be much appreciated :D
