Thanks Mac. I got stung like that last year when buying a DS for the oldest. Couldn't find one on the high st, but managed to track one down on Dixons web site. When it did not arrive at the appointed hour I checked the order to find they 'declined' it. That was on 18th Dec. I managed to get one from Amazon but paid through the nose.
Dixons did however send me a nice e-mail on X-mas Eve telling me they had been unable to fulfill my order due to lack of stock.
If anyone from Dixons Customer Services reads this - Thanks for not answering my e-mails you Toxxers
By the way - not bought a single item from Currys/Dixons/PC World groups since. 07 Silver TDV6 XS Manual + Tubes, Tints, White indicator repeaters, Xtreme H7s, LR dog Guard and Valeao Windy-Wipers

Naughty room has PC, xbox, good enough hi-fi and a bed! Its only missing a fridge, for beer, and some sort of microwave... Now there's a thought! 
Anyway, I think we should have a Halo 3 bash on Wednesday, I'll nick book the living room and should be able to manage any time between 5 and 7! Very dirty 1996 Defender 90 - Soon to be mine!

Just got a PS3. The PS3 was "free" from Carphone Warehouse when I replaced 'er indoors' phone. Got a few games for it, but Burnout Paradise City is the pick of the bunch - crashing in slo-mo in HD is cool; the kids love Lego Star Wars; GTA4 is a bit disappointing, but then I've only played it once so far and I was a little bit elephant's at the time so didn't really get the hang of the controls, which are different from the PS2 GTA games. I also like the fact you can put music on the PS3, and in my opinion, playback is superior to an iPod. Blu-ray playback is also excellent. Biggest PITA is the wifi connection, which is very poor (my router is in the next room, but the Wii connects, whereas the PS3 doesn't).
I would certainly recommend a Wii for the variety of software available: Warioware is humourous; Mario Galaxy is epic (i.e. I find it hard); Call of Duty 3 is fun if you like shooting people; Driver is not GTA, but still good.
Oh, and get a big-ass TV to watch them on: Panasonic PZ plasmas rule (that'll start another war). TDV6 S Auto, Cairns Blue
...oh, and a Mini Cooper S for the mid-life crisis
and an Orange EVO8 for the weekend, sir - the best 2x1 ba gum
