kingandyI have bought an X-Box; it should arrive at the start of next week. (I went for the free delivery. Maybe unwise, I don't know. I can still send it back if it breaks in transit, right?)
I did look around at other shops briefly - Game, HMV etc. No big surprise; each player was selling the same bundles (Lego Indiana Jones, Kung Fu Panda) at the same price (£190). Amazon, though technically offering the same deal, at least started off £10 cheaper, so the overall cost was £180. And then I paid another £10 to get a third game (Mercenaries 2: World in Flames). Because it seemed to make sense.
I think that was quite a good deal, though this may largely because at the checkout Amazon expressed it as "£299 less £110", which appealed to the bargain-hunter in me.
Shit, I've bought an X-Box! WHAT THE SHIT
