    Okay, I rang customer services. They resesrved the console at Chester and the games at Cheshire Oaks. They said to pick up the console first and it says on the bottom of the receipt to present the receipt within 2 months to collect your free games. I collected the console and the assistant said just try any Argos that has the games in stock and they will give them to you. I then went to Cheshire Oaks and gave my reserve number and the receipt and walked out with the games - no problem! Hope this helps someone?....

    Best option would be the 'Advanced Scart Cable' They have been selling these off in woolworths for £4.99. It is RGB and has optical out if you ever get a Dolby digital Surround system. If not the Scart supplied should suffice.

    Bradford Forster Square currently have both consoles & games in stock. Just in case they run out, I have placed 1 reservation which must be picked up by Monday, please PM me if you want the reservation number.
  • My luck has ran out on this one. Reserved one at Northwich Retail Park for Wednesday - they sold it one to somebody else after they claimed they had forgotten to bring their reservation number! They did however reorder me one at the local Northwich Town store for collection Saturday. Went today - hadn't been reserved and they had sold out!

    Miffed and they knew it!

    Now at the top of the Wii list!

    If it has component inputs the best is a component cable. You can even run the xbox in HD then (only of you are modding it with XBMC).

    You can mode these xboxes, I thought you couldnt but its very easy, I used AID 4.5, (auto instaler deluxe 4.5) search on torents site.
    Read the menu in pdf or online.
    I made the cable to use my 128mb mp3 as mem card, It didnt work, Problem was I messed up on wires somewhere as Max drive works great and I used my mp3 player in its adptor cable and it worked. Spent 20.00 :( All I had to do was check wires and solder for better connections.

    Now I need to figure outhow to get xbmc on it, will try ftp and then auto installer delux 3.10 iso wich is 1.4GB and on torrent so you can imagine
