    Well, you can do the QuidCo thing in advance. I just figured that it would be an overhead in the transaction like filling in details and those using a link are less likely to be successful on their orders. ;)

    apparently, quidco only needs to be open in another browser to work?

    (don't shoot the messenger if you disagree)

    ...I know it is only a couple of quid, but it's not about the money, I just want to order something and beat everyone else - which I did that time!

    Yes, thats right. You click on the Game affiliate within QuidCo to open a Game window. The first transaction will associate an affiliate with QuidCo earning you commission.

    However, as you go through the checkout process and confirm your order, its a longer wait when your order is processed as it has to register the affiliate process as well.

    Therefore, logically, when going for high value items like DS Lite's you have a greater chance of your transaction crashing when the server is overloaded.

    Same applies if you have umpteen items in your basket etc I assume.

    Any thoughts?
