I was thinking more after christmas Laura tbh, I'm on my mac, and I'd have to get it partitioned, put on windows, run windows, put on all the windows drivers, install steam, put on cs and css and configure all my settings. That would take a solid 15 days.:pac:

Santa Strike Force - OTT Xbox Donation

Reet lads, looks like we are finally getting this show on the road.

First off, I want to say thanks to everyone for getting back to me so quickly, and for getting behind this project. It's a credit to what the OTT stands for.

Now, with that ghey sentimental sh/t out of the way, down to the meat and bones.

Between the 11 of us, we have €220 raised. Now, the objective was to get an Xbox 360 and a copy of PES or FIFA. It's gonna be a squeeze, but I think we can do it.

First off, I haven't played either in a few years, so for those who have, speak up, and we'll go with whichever one yis recommend (I know FIFA has been making ground on PES over the last two years). That shouldn't be a big deal though, as both cost the same.

Regarding the Xbox, I think we're gonna have to go for the entry level Arcade model. I don't think this is a big deal though, as whoever it goes to, will probably be young enough not to really notice nor need the difference.

I have been looking around t'internet, and here is what I have come up with:

Copy of PES from Play: €56 (Fifa is also available at Play for the exact same price)
Xbox360 fro Dabs.ie: €160 (Has anyone any good/bad experiences with Dabs?)

Total: €216 ( The spare €4 will more than likely get eaten up in Paypal charges)

Delivery on both should be free from what I have read on the T&C's.

I want to stress, the above are only my recommendations from what I have seen today. If anyone knows of any better deals/bundles speak up. My preference though is to do all this over the internet, as it makes delivery to Dev quite easy.

Payment

I have still to finalize what we are going to do regarding payment, but I am aware that certain people need to use Paypal, and that that shouldn't be a problem. I have yet to talk to Des about using the account he has for the Football team, so I will make an announcement about how the funds are to be paid tomorrow.

However, can all those want to use Paypal say so now (so I can get an idea).

I am hoping to have all monies paid up by this Monday. This will mean that the money should be good to go by Wed. the 10th latest (bank transfers can sometimes take 48 hrs to show on the receiving account). This will then mean we should have enough time for the stuff to make it's way to Dev, on time for Santee to make his delivery .

That about sums it up lads. So let me know what yis think, and who needs to pay using Paypal.

Charlie.

I vote for Fifa tbh, pro evo this year = disappointing to the max.

Do we need the Boardeaux account?

Perhaps not. If lets say 5 of the lads go Paypal, that's another 5 who are going through regular banking. I could use my own account for them, as long as that's not too messy. In your experience, should it be?

depends on which bank you use personally.

BoI are a cúnt for transferring money out of online.

I'm with BOI, crud.

I remember with the Euro sweepstakes, there was issues with people needing to get a code sent by post before they could transfer into the account. Am I right in thinking this?

If those who are gonna transfer into an account, just went to a branch and lodged it there, there shouldn't be any problems should there?

correct.

it's a pain in the tits when it comes to new players playing for Boardeaux.

Anyway...

transferring into the account isn't a problem, depending on the bank it's coming from, it'll take a few days to clear. people would really need to be sending the money tomorrow for it to be cleared by Monday, especially if they are sending from Ulster Bank.

If people are also banking with BoI, you can forget getting money out of them online for at least a week, if not more, because the bank have to send a code to them by post so they can add you as a beneficiary on their Banking 365. I have no idea why BoI are so cúntish about this tbh.

I'll be sending from AIB, so can I have your bank details?

Ive no idea how to use Paypal, but I'll sort something out. I'm knackered now tho so I'm gonna hit the hay and be fresh for tommorrow. Have to do my essay at some stage too. Oh the time restrictions!! Maybe I should do it instead of posting tomorrow in work! :pac:

Anyway, charlie, I'll get onto ya in the next day or 2. I'm out at a gig tomorrow night so I'll be onto ya before Thursday evening. If I need to set up a PayPal account etc then I'll learn!


Laters lads.

I'm pretty much in the same boat as Neil.
Never used Paypal before.
I'm sure it's not too hard to set up an account though..

Maybe I can learn paypal to subscribe so I can change my username! And then change it everyday like Chong!

Ok, Im gonzo this time!
