Posted March 9, 2006 I did this about a week ago or so. Don't expect anything above 128Mb from them either..............and people are even saying that it could be ROM. If that's the case then I'll be chucking mine straight in the trash. But it's free, so can't complain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 9, 2006 Weird, it said i could ship to the UK... It's just a generic shipping front end that has no context to what it is shipping. Bad design by Microsoft really, allowing us no US guys to order them, even though the chances are we won't get any. This is similar to the deal that they have where they ship out little lego-like superheros to us programmers to attend their e-seminars and webcasts. I attend them quite a lot but they never send me the goods as it says US only (even though i can enter my shipping details). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
