ARGHHHHHH!!! Isnt it always the way!!

I`d take it back for a fifty quid saving.

hmmm, might have to get metroid prime now. Been waiting for a price drop

Story on telextext news saying the price will only be £69 in the rest of Europe.. >:(

That has been announced 3-4 weeks ago, where have you been?

Always check news on the net before purchasing

Not to worry! I realise we used the Barcleycard so we can claim back the difference with there price promise

Hmm, have to say I am tempted now. I have an Xbox (cost me £300 in March 2002!), and although the GC doesn`t compare to it, for that price it may be worth getting at some point. Opinions>
