    I got mine at the till. I was going to use it today but it seemed dear when I had to pay the post and packaging. Does anybody know a way not to pay post and packaging (maybe a deal for first time shoppers etc)
    Thanks

    Hi

    Can't quite work out if you have to join a club!
    Anybody heard of them?

    Never heard of them, but two things are ringing alarm bells.

    1. Although there is a contact us button, it doesn't do anything. My rule of thumb is, if a company doesn't have a 'real' address, don't touch them. You have no way of contacting them if your goods don't turn up.

    2. If you click on the Buy Now button, you get taken to PayPal. Not a problem in itself, but it makes me very uncomfortable that a company can offer something so cheaply but have to use PayPal. There is no checkout or basket as well.

    Ultimately it's up to you, but I personally wouldn't go near this company with the proverbial bargepole!

    HTH

    Last launch my local Tesco Extra, a 24 hour one, had them on display at midnight on the Friday night and had a queue ;)

    Launch day is midnight 16 July.

    I am saving up all my vouchers for launch day and going shopping at ASDA. So far I have £5 saved towards the book.

    Does anyone know if you can use book tokens at Asda? I didn't expect you could, but they are pretty liberal with their policies on vouchers..

    Edit: To actually pay for books, this is.

    I received an email from Amazon today and they appear to have dropped the price to £8.99 on a preorder.

    Still pretty cheap if you want to buy it online

  • Woolworths are advertising it for £8.99. If you order online £2.75 delivery on top.
