I had no idea that i pre-ordered a PS3, in May '06 I pre-ordered a 60GB PS3 from Gamestation and I just had a look at my email box and it said we have dispatched your Gamestation order. I was like WTF??? so i open it and it said we had billed your credit card for £425 but my mind clicked that the PS3 is launching in the UK in 4 days and the bill is for £425, bells were ringing in my head and dollar signs chinged in my eyes, I'M RICH!!! eBay all the way. I have an Xbox 360 and the have a Nintendo Wii coming very shortly so there is no need for a PS3, maybe in a few years but now yet.

Anyway, I couldn't afford one even if I did want to have one so I'm going to sell it on eBay.co.uk for a big fat wad of cash. PROFIT PROFIT PROFIT. Hopefully I will get well over £200 profit.

(I think I pre-ordered one off Freemans aswell!!!)

YAY, Amazon.de have sent my Nintendo Wii Games Console on March 6th 2007. I should be in my hands fairly soon. Although I have a maths test in two days which I want to revise for and I don't want the Wii distracting me, anytime after Thursday will be fine Amazon.de

I also bought Wii Play off Gameplay  for just under £36 including P&P.
I bought a Nunchuck Controller off Gametart Direct for £13.
I bought a Virtual Console Controller from HMV for £12
I bought a 2000 Wii Points Card from Amazon for £15

Coming to a grand total of

Wii Console - £172
Wii Play - £36
Nunchuck Controller - £13
VC Controller - £12
2000 Wii Points Card - £15

= £248

I will get Sonic The Hedgehog (800 points) and Mario Kart 64 (1000 points) with my 2000 Wii Points. I still haven't bought any decent games...I have a rental thing going with Boomerang.com, check 'em out, they're turnaround is very fast. Also there is a website that shows me all the online game rental sites in the UK and it also tells me if they do a free trial. So I'll be a tight-arse and use the free trails to test out Wii games instead of actually buying them. 

Any ideas on good Wii games, enough to buy them, would be much appreciated.

I have Wario Ware in mind but I might just buy the big blockbuster games like Super Mario Galaxy and Metriod Prime 3 Corruption and rent the rest. What do you think?

I was talking to my mate today and he told he that he bought a Nintendo Wii off the German eBay believe it or not for £180 + £20 for delivery and he said that it took around 25 days for it to be delivered!

So that gives me a rough estimate on when my Nintendo Wii should turn up!

Dispatch Date: March 6th
Estimated Arrival: March 31st

Fingers Crossed!

This price was taken from PC World. (UK website)

Even though my birthday isn't for several months I have been very recently looking at laptops, my laptop I use now is so slow that is needs a fan on it to stop it from overheating! thats how bad it is.

It will be my 16th birthday so I get something a little special and I've choosen to get a laptop, I had a look in Currys Digital and there was one laptop that impressed me, the HP_DV2175EA

The 2048MB RAM impressed me the most, with its screen that has that glossy effect, Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, another big plus, Windows Vista Home Premuim Upgrade Included. This is the laptop for me.

If anyone can find a better deal from a trust worthy website in the UK, that would be much appreicated. You have to beat £550.

I mainly want a laptop for my music, iTunes, I have over 1300 songs for my iPod nano and thats about 6GB of music. The laptop I use now has a 40GB hardrive and that music has slowed the laptop right down. But the new laptop I'm looking at has 120Gb harddrive. I will delete alot of songs off my iPod before I get a new laptop, just incase my music slows down my new laptop. Also to surf the net, and to watch movies online, and play music on my laptop.

Some people just don't have opinions. Like alangeorge.
alangeorge must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could alangeorge possibly have for not rating a single film?
