Freezers/fridges/dishwashers - actually we got one from Fenwicks department store -and it came with a 24month warranty from the company that made the dishwasher, no extra costs.

 

 

You got lucky then, it is british law to offer a 12 month guarantee, and no more.

The original was Billy boys favourite, pretty much kills all appeal for the sequel.

Its made by Millers - worked a treat now less time to wash and more time to cook. Thing is the last few household electrical goods we have spent on have come with more than 12 month guarantee no extra cost - one product which shall remain nameless we got 12 months standard and was given an extra 6 months from the seller.

 

But yeah shop around and do a deal normally some things you can get at really good value. Like my DUAL LCD TV came with 18 months guarantee and ASDA threw in an extra 6 months free of charge.

 

Has a beautiful picture on it as well.

Er, hows it void?

 

Second hand console = voided warranty, or thats what I always thought.

depends on if you have registered the console with microsoft i think, if they have no records of the owner of it, then how would they ever know its not second hand.

Is this release date for Assassin's Creed real?!!!!!!!?!!!

 

http://shop.gameplay.co.uk/webstore/productpage.asp?productcode=XT0164&title=assassins_creed

 

If so 44 days to go! I really hope so!

 

No its not - it was delayed until the next financial year so April 2007-March 2008 basically.

 

Was on to gameplay about this myself and they said it was the last date given to them by the publisher. I had to keep reminding them ubisoft delayed AC and brought forward GRAW 2.

 

But heck they never listen to me.

Damn! I thought there might be a slim possibility that...oh well. I don't think I've ever looked forward to a non-Nintendo game THIS much!!!

 

If they are delaying it to make it better, I can't argue...sadly!

It may of been or maybe it was to balance the business books out so they pay less tax or something. All I know is there is a secret in that game - probably the most anticipated ubisoft game for me.

If you have the original reciept and stuff, that shouldn't be a problem.

+ saving well over £100 is worth the risk of paying £80 or whatever to get it fixed.

on eBay they quite often go for £200-£230, though with not as much stuff, sometimes a game or extra troller though.

Ok, It's my birthday today, and I didn't ask for anything for my birthday, as I was thinking of getting PS3 in march. However, I was wondering whether you guys could convince me otherwise into getting a 360. It just means I actually have something to instead of waiting another month to get a present.

 

Any help appreciated.

PS3 in terms of games at launch is going to have nothing on 360.

Online support is lackluster.

Its gunna cost you alot more to buy a PS3.
