    I can't understand why anyone is complaining about the Dixons deal. It was a fair. What use is a console without any games ?The real profiteers are on this thread !
  • Just got an email from Parcel Line to say that my wii that I ordered yesterday from Gamestation will be delivered today! :j

    Just need another one now for my brother, so let the search begin!!

    You always have a choice - give them your hard earned cash at rip off prices or give your keep it & buy in January - they're banking on desperate parents paying out that much.

    I wasn't defending them just pointing out they are selling only at RRP and not over.

    It's not really ripping people off, it's the same as if you went into a store and bought the same things there (I know if they were in stock) , but they know they can get away with it.

    people want the option to choose the games they want. they dont want to be forced to buy a package of games they dont want to get the console. not everybody has £350 to spend straight off as well. they should have included a cheaper option.
    john lewis are doing it right.

    Some of us haven't got £350 but thanks for your understanding.:mad:

    Yes. You need games but not 4 straighaway. You can buy 4 games eventually. I want to own my house but I don;t have the money to pay it all today, by paying a little every month i get there.

    And to be a profiteer you need something to sell.

    Have you missed the point?

    no they are not ripping people off as the prices do work out fairish BUT they are taking advantage of a situation and their customers, if they were not they would have at least offered 1 low priced package.
