Comments

  • I bought to sell knowing that it would make a profit, not buying from people who really want a £99 xbox 360 there is a big difference, I was supplying at the height of hunger not robbing people from £99 360s
    Total CC Debt: £1750
    Overdraft £1300
    Car Loan £1750

    Savings £0
    Redundancy OCT £2000
    Wage this month £540

    Of course it never entered your head that if you hadn't bought it then someone else could have bought it instead of having to pay over the odds on ebay eh?

    Personally I can not see a difference, both are first come first served. Strange how folks are moaning because they all want to be overcharged. Wish I had got one, but then again I wish I had managed to get my hands on one last xmas, Oy! You did me out of a 360! (notes that is) both of you! hhahaha chin up, move along, we all have our good days :D
  • popped down to the oxford street branch and came right back!

    no barriers or queuing system so everyone is jus huddled up in one big mass!

    wasn't worth standing around for 3 hrs just to get pipped by some bum who turned up at 7.56am

    hope you guys get lucky!

    Hi Babbler so that could be beginning of December then as the Wii doesn't come out until December 8th?

    By the way how's your Navman from Tesco's getting on or did you take it back in the end?

    Hello!

    I think they are pre-empting the release ;)

    As for Navman... I goth through 2 other models since! ;). Bought the 520 for 150 quid. Took the 510 back as it hardly got any signal EVER. Then the 520 was as bad so when the 530(?) came out with the pipe subscriber deal thingy and then even cheaper, I got that one and sold the 520 on ebay for £200! ;) Auction started at 99p!
    The 530 is excellent! Gets signal all the time even in my block of flats :)

    Thanks for asking! Hows yours?
    Being bored is so boring Im bored of it... :rotfl:

    Saw an ad in the Metro yesterday (27th) which said that at the Virgin stores at Oxford Street and Piccadilly they were selling the following at £5 each

    Lord of the rings 12 disc box set
    Band of Brothers set
    Pink Panther (Peter sellers) 6 disc set
    The Godfather trilogy set

    It is supposed to be only today (28th) I think but I am not too sure about that. Store is to open at 8 am but you need to check the opening hours directly with the store
    I have learnt that living life to the fullest gives you a much better high than alcohol or drugs !
