Does anyone have any information on this website? I ordered from them on the 1st of january and have not heard a thing from them. They do not answer emails nor the phone. Have i been ripped off???

    Thank you for your quick reply, i have googled the company and came up with this information but it only gives the email address and phone number they are not answering.

    Actually the address appears to be a private residence:

    16 Rutland Close

    Epsom
    Surrey
    United Kingdom
    KT19 9JR

    The site says "Due to staff shortages our telephone will be offline until the New Year"

    I bet they are on holiday. I'd give them a few days then drop a recorded delivery prompter.

    a 'swap magic disc'?
    Never heard of one, but if its to get past the PS2s copy protection system (Which I suspect it is), theres not a great deal you can do as its illegal to do that anyways.

    Why would your son be even in the least bit interested in backing up his games? Sounds more like playing illegally copied games to me.
