    got my despatch from amazon aswell.... i cant wait...erm i mean the kids cant wait....
    Listen to what people say, but watch what people what people do!!
  • We ordered ours last night from Game and got a dispatch email today so will get it tomorrow, from past experience Play.com have been rubbish with getting stuff out on time for example I preordered Fable III from Game and got it the day before launch, my partners brother ordered it on Play and got it 4 days after launch!

    I always use Game now and preorder anything I want so I get extra points against future purchases!

    Enjoy Kinect everyone!! Im so excited!! :)

    Just been to my local ASDA in Tamworth where I preordered Kinect.
    They only had 5 preorders as they were told the were only getting 5 units in stock but 24 turned up.

    There were only 2 people queuing at midnight so chances are they will still have stock in the morning £127.99.

    Hope this helps someone!

    Argos does have some money off the games, all a bit random, 10% off one 25% off another but most have £4 off. They also say they have the sensor bars in stock for delivery in my area so fingers crossed that means I will get mine today!

    Gamers Queue For Hours For Xbox Kinect

    http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Technology/Gamers-Queue-For-Hours-To-Buy-Microsofts-Kinect-Controller-For-The-Xbox-360/Article/201011215798644?lpos=Technology_First_UK_News_Feature_Teaser_Region_0&lid=ARTICLE_15798644_Gamers_Queue_For_Hours_To_Buy_Microsofts_Kinect_Controller_For_The_Xbox_360

    Well the big question is. Will there be enough supply out there, or will this thread turn into, where on earth can I get a kinect? We'll have to wait and see.
    Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies

    I am at work and just popping in here every couple of hours, so my question would be:

    Anyone able to post links to the bargain games?

    Ok, after being into Argos they could not give me any more information about my pre order (which I could understand) but they said they will have 'limited stock' in store tomorrow.

    If your not feeling 100% that Argos will deliver to you tomorrow and cant wait you could either:

    Keep checking the Argos site as soon as it lets you reserve stock reserve one if the delivery does not turn up, pick one up in store.

    Alot of game /gamestions are having midnight openings, speaking to staff in my local one (Bexleyheath) if you are there at midnight you sould have no problems in getting one. So collect one at midnight, if the pre order does not turn up, cancell the order, if it does you have 7 days to return it under distance selling regulations.

    Of course both ways mean you have to have another £129 available until you get a refund from Argos for your preorder.

    Thanks just reserved one at my local for collection tomorrow. Will wait and see if my delivery comes today from Argos or not!! Poor communication from I think regards stock levels with pre orders they are leaving people waiting. My order still says there may be a delay with delivery going to ring them now and see if it is due today or not!!
