ReZourceman Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Next Day Delivery? Damn. I need to sweet talk the lady, big time. Either that or splash out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Next Day Delivery? Damn. Yeah, it was only £3 more which isn't an awful lot if you've just spent £275. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Id get the 32"...Probably. I need to measure what the current TV I have is, as I certainly dont want any smaller. Am I correct in thinking if I want to measure, its from top left/right to top right/left, of the screen, Ie diagonally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Yeah, it is. Some cheapy people include the plastic bit next to the screen too, so remember to measure that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Oh right, cool! Cheers for the help, and also the bargain hunting. I might be getting some inheritance money soon, So I might aswell just buy this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Let me know what its like Moria. My mom has been looking for one so I sent her a link. Although she is trying to fool my dad saying I'm buying it for their anniversary from me and my brothers despite the fact neither of them work and I'm not going to spend £300 on them, no matter how much I love them. Anyway yeah, give us a clue on what its like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Grrrrr. Cant find my fecking tape measure. Ill have to ask when someone gets in. *Wishes his stuff would stay where he left them* Hmm. If it includes the plastic, my current tv is 34", if not it is 27" so...I would definitely want the 32" one. Okay....Claire said shed put £100 towards (Well thats all I asked) Yay thanks Moria! This couldnt of happened without you lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Awesome. I've just got back from GAME with a brand-spanking-new VGA cable for the 360. Edit - Mine was despatched some time this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Erm...Will I need any new cables or stuff. Ive got a Wii and a 360 (And a DVD player) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 If you have a Premium 360 you'll be fine for that. You'll need the Wii Component cables, you should be able to connect the DVD player up via Scart. I would recommend getting the 360 VGA cable and using the 360 as your DVD player as if you use VGA it will upscale the DVD to HD. It doesn't do that with the cables it comes with.

ReZourceman Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Oh right. Hmmmm. My DVD player is region 1/2 though. Ill consider it. Will I NEED the component cables for the Wii? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Ill consider it. Will I NEED the component cables for the Wii? I'm not sure. I would ask someone elsewhere (I don't really know anything about TVs). I haven't got the component cables yet, I'll see what it looks like without them first then decide later on. I don't really want to spend another £20 on a set of cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Agreed. Seems a little pricey. I mean...they are only cables lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 Hmmmage, it says it's still in Manchester South depot. I'm going to be incredibly pissed off if they don't deliver Saturdays. Manchester is a good 4 hours away, another hour to get to South and if they have deliveries on the way... They'd better leave soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 They've fecking asked me to confirm the address on my card or some shit. I rang up to see what the dil' was and she wants me to fax or Email evidence of identity through, EVEN THOUGH its the same address as on the card. Better pissing accept a photo. Wankers.

I don't think you need component usually but it improves the picture vastly. Composite works on my friends Sony Bravia, but It doesn't look that great.

Charlie Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 The tracking website seems to have died... Edit - Micro Computers customer support says Next Day delivery actually means Next Working day, so I won't be getting it until Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 Edit 2 - Fucking hell. If you order something by next day delivery, when do you expect it to arrive? Didn't show up on Tuesday, I phoned up today and the first time they said it would be before 1, phoned up when it didn't arrive and they said it would be before 6. I phoned up again 5 mins before 6, was put on hold and then 6 on the dot I was cut off as it was out of office times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next day delivery I would have expected saturday... ok so they said next working day (although most companies do deliver on sat) But then for it not to arrive on the tuesday... that's a joke really, I would like complain and stuff. Let us know what the TV is like tho cos im interested. I like the way they give you the sky remote code aswell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Word dude. Mine came, but no one was in (Which they would of been if it was sent yesterday like it was sposed to), so they are sending tomorrow. We should both complain. I ordered Friday after 5 adimittadly, and admitadly it was a Bank Holiday, however for it to come on Wednesday, thats still not next day. Ive complained to LEGO today, because they are incompetant. From the sounds of it, shes re-sending my £160 order ....which I didnt tell them I already spoke to Parcelforce and they are sending. Normally I wouldnt think anything of it, but I think I might actually get two orders - The woman was foreighn, not really knowing what she was talking about and sounded a bit nervous (My Email was very stern, heh heh) Wont get my hopes up though. But yeah, thats REALLY bad for you and you should 100% definitely complain. You must surely be able to get at least shipping compensation. Or ask Rokhed to complain....From reading his posts he likes complaining to companies, and seems to get a lot of compensation heh heh. Or Shorty...he got his phone today.
