    hi

    my dh went to toysrus northampton this morning but all were gone, he printed off the £10.00 voucher and could not find anything to use it on so he gave it to someone else, he did not want anything for it but the guy insisted on giving him a fiver. wishes now he had printed a load off and sold them to all the people outside this morning.

    i think that if people sell them on ebay then i cant slam them i would probably do the same, but looking at the prices on ebay they dont seem to be selling much more than what you would pay in toysrus with the bundles. i think i would tell my children to wait till after christmas when the stores will be inundated and will probably have special offers too. my son has a ps2 says he would like an xbox but i cant and wont start buying the same games for different consoles, shall probably wait for the ps3. we had this problem with the ps2 a few christmases ago and managed to get one at the last minute.

    this console sounds fun but we were not sure whether to get one or not, as we did'nt really play the ps2 that much.

    dh = dear husband
    dw= dear wife
    dd = dear daughter
    ds= dear son

    and so on.

    Yes, the PS3 is next to make easy profit on - Hopefully will pay for my summer holiday!! - Not sure what the wife and kids will do though!!!!!

    Dunno how much easy profit you expect to make on a PS3. It's gonna be launched in March, not December so you're not gonna have Christmas impacting demand. Also it's set to retail at £425 so the number of people prepared to pay that, never mind a premium on it, will be very limited. I won't be surprised if Sony is forced to bring the price down to Xbox 360 levels or face having a real turkey on its hands.

    So, a caravan holiday in Skegness for you methinks!

    I went to TRUs at 6am this morning but was too late. They only had 40 units and were selling the £260 and £290 packages. There were a few people they there at 10pm last night.

    I gave away 6 of the £10 vouchers to the lucky ones. Not a single person offered any money. So I binned the others I had in my bag.

    But what can you expect from people in Swindon.......
