RE: terminator 3 DTS £11.99 region 3

I dont think we can say without getting this site and the mods in trouble.

The link was removed at somepoint in the past by moderators :/

RE: Anyone let me know where I can find good XBOX Hardware Deals?

wow nice post m8 very informative.

Im wondering if these software exploits work with the the new Xboxes though?

I would have thought good old M$ would have patched for this exploit by now.

Anyone know? Or am I gonna have to actually read up on it ;)

RE: terminator 3 DTS £11.99 region 3

cheers m8 nice spot.

I got at £10.49 as I have been naughty and abused a £1.50 off link at cd-wow by using multiple email accounts.

I dont think mentioning this breaks any rules here, if it does mods sorry please edit :)

RE: Cheap hard drives at Maplins

dammit I may just have to get me one of those.

Bit wary as it doesnt show make or model.

Some manufacturers are better than others!.

Anyone purchased one of these and knows what make/model it is?

Nice spot anyway as I say may be tempted :D

RE: Anyone let me know where I can find good XBOX Hardware Deals?

hmmm I may have to look into this software mod. I dunno much about chipping etc of Xboxes so will have to look in to it.

Its for my nephew we wont want to chip and risk losing warranty.

Any further info you can give will be appreciated. Looking for one NEW not 2nd hand if possible :) cheers

Anyone let me know where I can find good XBOX Hardware Deals?

RE: High back Leather chairs £ 29.99 + V.A.T

Quote

Budgie, is that in the boot, or with the back seat down? Not that I`m panicking about the Micra at all Mind you, got a tumble drier in it before. Think it might be two trips though.


That was just the boot m8 probably would fit 2 boxes in if I would have put both the seats down though. You can always unbox them they dont come in many pieces tbh. they would EASY fit in boot with seats down in a micra if u unboxed them I feel u may struggle with both boxes though unless you unpack them and rip the boxes up :)

Hope this helps :)

RE: High back Leather chairs £ 29.99 + V.A.T

Ordered mine yesterday morning arrived same day in the afternoon.

Loaded in the boot of the Golf (just fitted in!! :D ) took home and assembled!!.

Great chair, absolute bargain thx for the spot m8 :)

Sex and the City Season 4 at cd-wow R1 £18.99 R2 £25.99

Region 1 £18.99 pre order released in May 03 http://www2.cd-wow.com/detail_results_2.php?product_code=4903

Region 2 £25.99 out now http://www2.cd-wow.com/detail_results_2.php?product_code=4650

Why the price difference of like £7 R2 users ripped off again. Dont know bout you lot but I`ve placed my region 1 order today!! :D

Rip off Britain again as its £29.99 in stores like HMV. Sad isn`t it, when are the companies gonna learn who are obviously fixing prices that we aint all damn stupid enuf to pay these rip off prices.

They deserve to be hit by piracy with the stupid prices over here on stuff damn fools.

RE: Memorex CD-R`s 80Mins In Jewel Case`s - Under 29p Each!!

not anymore for some reason

RE: CD-Wow CD/DVD/Games sale started already (a day early!)

Friends Series 2 and series 3 ordered along with 1 disc of Friends series 1 :o( all cancelled *sigh*.

Im really pee`d off tbh spent a lot of money with cdwow along with many friends and family who have also spent a fortune.

RE: CD-Wow CD/DVD/Games sale started already (a day early!)

Glad it aint just happening to me then. I used to be very fond of this company and have used them many times and recommended to many work collegues also.

Its a real shame about this current pickle they have got themselves in to.

Lets hope they can sort something out. I would like to know from all the orders they receive how they pick the people to dispatch and not dispatch to when their cards have been debited :o/

RE: CD-Wow CD/DVD/Games sale started already (a day early!)

got the emails heres my reply back to them. Possibly a bit OTT but I feel strongly about this type of thing!.




Dear Sirs

As per your email below. I would like to voice my dissatisfaction regarding your "DVD sale items". It appears you have now decided to cancel my orders due to lack of stock

I`m sure this has been a very sought after set of items. However I find it hard to believe that you would advertise a sale with not very many items of stock actually left. I did order many different DVD`s from this Friends DVD`s sale and to be honest find it hard to believe that every single one of the nine or so ordered be out of stock.

Please don`t get me wrong, I have not been one to complain about your service levels in the past, as I have found them to be very satisfactory.
However what has surprised me, is that you have actually charged my credit card with the amounts concerned, which under English Law does actually constitute a legally binding contract between us two parties.
Strictly speaking you have not been able to keep to your contractual obligations despite charging my card which constitutes your agreement in entering in to the said contract.

This may seem very petty, but you should not be charging credit cards if you cannot fulfil your side of the contract i.e. the supply of goods.

I have up until till now been very satisfied with your quality of service, but unfortunately this situation has now given my confidence in your service a severe knock.

I am not the only person to be informed of this as per my post (nick name Budgie55) on the following thread on DVD-REVIEWER where it seems you have many loyal customers (including myself) http://www.dvd.reviewer.co.uk/forums/thread.asp?Forum=223&Thread=150715&Type=1&Page=5 .

Looking forward to your comments on what I consider a serious matter.


Yours faithfully
