Snail Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Mine was exactly the same. I just happened to spot some core's appear on Game.net at the right moment and ordered one. If u REALLY want a 360, you have to look for them, and you can find them, but if you want a premium jobbie, you've got no hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 [ QUOTE ] so it's not just me they are providing a crap service to then? [/ QUOTE ] Oh no! i ordered some parts for my motorbike, they got some parts from BMW in the US and others from BMW in Germany in 3 days. Parcelfarce then took 8 days to get the parts from Huddersfield to Slough on a guaranteed next day delivery. I hate them and refuse to deal with any supplier that uses them. Jon.

kronenborg Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 yes indeed...it was a core unit. on my drive home today, i popped into pc world on the off-chance, and to my amazement, they had wireless controllers, wireless network adapters, and harddrives all in stock, so i loaded up, and they are now all awaiting the arrival of the core unit tommorrow. work from home, anyone?

kronenborg Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 oh, and while i remember, is it still the case that you need a credit card to get going with xbox live? (as opposed to a switch card or similar) i seem to remember this being the case when i looked into it a while back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snail Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Kroney, which PC World had hard drives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kronenborg Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 the one i got it from was Pc World, Greenford (Middlesex). dont know if they had more than one. same goes for the other bits of kit i bought, but surely worth at least a call to your local branch? NB Comet currently have come core systems in stock too...perhaps they also have harddrives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR32 Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Mine was ordered on the 10th of October from Choices Video and it arrived on Saturday! I was only the second person to place an order with them though - they didn't particularly advertise that they had any allocation at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SL26UK Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Comet website have the Xbox 360 core + memory card instock. But 2-5 days for delivery. http://www.comet.co.uk/comet/html/cache/308897.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentandy Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Well things are starting to look very dubious now. Finally managed to get to talk to a real person at Parcelfarce and it appears my Xbox was scheduled on a drivers manifest last week. It never turned up and they've no idea where it's got to, it's looking like my xbox has been half inched! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea Mick Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Crooked Feckers We should be able to trust the Royal Mail and ParcelFarce with our goodies. Why the feck are they allowed to get away with outright theft? What happens now with your missing 360? Surely they can track it down toi where it went missing? Who covers the cost of it? And where do you stand for getting a replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
