    As said above Best Buy are huge in the USA with keen prices; but certainly not the cheapest.

    I suspect there won't be many at that price; it is a standard practice to get you into the store.

    Can't wait until they open the Southampton one

    The Thurrock store will be followed by shops in Hedge End, Southampton and Merry Hill in the West Midlands in June, with further locations including Aintree near Liverpool and Croydon in Surrey to be opened later in the year.


    Do you know when the Hedge end store is opening please

    As it reads - Hedge End is due to open June, same month as West Midlands one - Don't know exact date yet
    Freebies you don't really need can be given to your local Hospice Charity shop so they can raise funds they desperately need. Pass on your good fortune :A

    Just to back up what Laura-jane said i went down to the Lakeside store for the Toshiba 32" today (Friday) at 17.00 and was queuing for a good 30-40 mins. It really was manic!!!

    Picked up 2 TV's (I was with my mum, they will only sell 1 per customer)

    The floor manager i spoke to wouldn't tell me how many tv's they had just hinted there were lots.

    Anyone going down between now and the 3rd should get there as early as possible if i were you as the parking and queuing are mad

    By the way the next cheapest place selling the Toshiba 32" is Amazon at £285!!!

    Good luck all :)
    Comp wins 2010 (Feb onwards) - loads of books, CD, Toys, Photographic lighting rig, Mobile phone, 16GB ipod Nano, Digital camera

    Comp wins 09 - £4500, 08 - £345.70!

    "Just called john lewis to ask to price match best buys & currys deal - really helpful lady came back to me to say they are also doing the same price, due in store mid may however can order by phone and get it delivered FREE now, so guess what I did ??

    Just to add dont call John Lewis helpline (i.e. 0845...) but call John Lewis Bluewater store @01322 624123 and order the Wii black console. If you read and call them the person will know what you are asking for and will order for £99.99/-. "

    And yep its true I live in Manchester called and ordered mine today. Fingers crossed you may be able to get tomorrow too ;)

    Saves even having to get out of your armchair ;) And delivery to your door FOC :beer:
