They make you buy games or else they wont sell you the console

Personally, I ADORE dixons. I owe my life to them..

I found my hard-drive there..:D

Jammer

why would you buy it without games anyway?

€90 for two games is good, its €65-€75 for one normally.

I've got a funny feeling he meant 90 each!

Smyths try to foce bundles, i wasnt having it though, you should have told em to feck off, AND sell me the console on its own.

Now that's just plain wrong. How many do you think will be returned because plebs can't install/missing wires/electrocute selves/can't format?

so that you can fek off to another store and pick up the games cheaper there or already have your games at home bought from the internet!

BTW, if anyone has a core system and is looking for a HDD, Xtra-Game in the Square has about 6 of them in stock and they're 99 euro.

Unfortunately it's not illegal - any retailer can refuse custom from an individual.

the hard drives just slot in, and are plug and play - more so then most PC stuff
