Shame that it's come to this with large retail stores not being able to keep up with modern times, but all I can think now is fire sales!

I might be able to get that kindle now for a cheaper price!

[SuperKid]

Any date of when sale is starting?

Unfortunately, some stores bring it on themselves, and in that case, it's hard for me to feel any sympathy for them; GAME being the latest case. I won't be surprised to see them go back into administration next year. Maybe HMV will follow suit too.


But indeed, firesales! Good thing I've saved most of my student loan so far; I'll wait and see what comes up.

I think the last time I was in Comet was almost seven years ago, and it was to buy the limited edition of Perfect Dark Zero, just after the 360 came out.

A bit difficult to feel sorry one of those firms that used to charge £60 for HDMI cable, the gadget show did an investigation and there was no performance difference between £3 ones and £60 ones.

Ahh, I remember that test (back when The Gadget Show was actually good). The reason for the stupidly high cost is more down to the fact that Monster were (and still are, as evidenced by the Beats by Dr. Dre headphone range) clever enough to trick ignoramuses into thinking it was worth all the extra money...

I just collected all the free ones I get with GPUs

[RadishTM]

Really feel sorry for the folks that might possibly be out of a job just before Christmas because of this.

Free HDMI cables with GPUs? Now that's a new one to me. I always get a VGA to DVI adapter.

Yea I was surprised too, I got one cable per Sapphire 6850, then another with an RMA replacement

I got the adapter too
