I saw a couple of those old style boxes on display in one of the stores I was in at the weekend, thought I was onto a winner until I picked it up, it had a piece of paper taped over the barcode with a number on it for the checkout dude to enter manually.

Thought about peeling it off but decided against it, already got a PS2 anyway.

think that was after me:D

i know this is a technical question but whats the difference between a core and a console in the xbox thing. because it might be worth checking prices on these too

The premium is the full console, the standard is called the 'core' version. The premium has the following upgrades compared with the core:

- 20GB hard disk (essential really)
- headset
- wireless controller (as opposed to wired in core)
- component HD AV cable (as opposed to standard AV cable in core)
- has different face-plate (silver drive access)

Your telling me, it took me 5 stores to find one, on the 01/11, and even then I felt really chuffed.

Would love to find a PSP though and know i missed the boat on the last misprice.

I need some advise from the 'seasoned' R&Rers please.
I have done about 5 R&R's from my local Tesco and the CS witch told me today that I've been abusing the refund policy and any further overcharges would not be refunded.
I was gobsmacked and I meekly said OK. If I had an inkling that she would say that I'd have stood my ground and come up with some comment.
What should I do now apart from travel further afield?
The refunds have all been for about £25.00.

Go back at a different time and deal with different CS.

1st thing I do in any store is check if I had and rr(r) from the CS

I'd also argue that if u hadn't overcharged me I wouldn't be asking for staff to COMPLY WITH TESCO POLICY.
