Double check amazon is truly in stock.. Then offer the ebay seller 20 quid to cover auction fees or withdrawal costs and both leave each other positive feedback.

I had 5 on pre-order when they were due to release this time last year. WAs going to sell them off at £400 to £500 each to help me pay for my los trip this year.

But a couple of weeks before release I got a load of emails from different companys confirming I was on the first batch list, on the same night. Only I couldn't remmeber why I had ordered so many because it was the night I had left work, so I was a little more than drunk. So I cancelled them all.

Well of course waking up the next day, I couldn't fix my fcuk up could I! Been trying to get on since but havent had the luck or effort yet. But I do have a points card (Wii points, for t'internet) for a UK machine somewhere. So if anyone wants them, give me (or Nicke) a pm.
