And s**g off SR you did.

Okay, sorry for the lenghty delay but it's been a madhouse round here for the last... blimey, that's almost a month. No matter, because we've picked a winner. A lot of you simply suggested we sell stuff cheaper, or 'knock off a tenner to make it look good' which isn't really very productive - what we were looking for was a mixture of suggestions for new products, and how best to promote the ones we have. And the person who did that the best was...

DeltaJava.

Well done matey, you win a Game or DVD of your choice up to the value of £50. He suggested we take a look at our prices of stuff like Encarta and Paintshop Pro, compared to other retailers, and tipped us off about some new products to stock like USB2.0 and more TV cards. Basically, his collection of suggestions was the most complete, and for that, he is rewarded. If you scroll back through the topic, his posts are highlighted in yellow.

Anyway, thanks to the rest of you for all of your posts, we'll take the into consideration. Even the ones about boobs and stuff. You kids. Complaints to the usual address, I'll ignore them like I always do.

Here's a really good chance to sl*g off SR.

Take a look at our range of PC parts and peripherals. i.e. anything which works in, with or connects to a PC.

What's missing from the range?
Where are we out of date or over-priced?
Which descriptions fail to do justice to the products?

For example you could tell us that our A03 drives are out of date and over priced and that we should be selling the A04. (posted by Bonzo Banana did yesterday)

You do NOT need to post all of your suggestion in one post. ALL of your posts will be added together for the selection process.

Closes Thursday August 1st.

Mr Snuuuuggly will extract the thread and pass it to our PC Buyers who will say 'Oh my God, what clever customers we have'. They (the un-named and un-shamed) will determine the winner.

Winner gets a full GAD prize. Only one winner folks.

(er-thanks in advance guys. And none of those "getting us to do their work" jibes PLEASE!)

I think there should be a few more steering wheels on the list for PC Peripherals.

There could also be a few more steering wheels that have pedals with them.

Oh, and some of the steering wheels (especially with pedals) are pretty expensive.

One is 149.99, and one with just a steering wheel is 99.99.

A bit much, don't you agree?

Some joysticks are a tad on the expensive side.

A few are really cheap, but one or 2 are £35+.

Your service is good but i've been warned away from SR for hardware purely because your range isn't big enough, you've got everything to make PCs but it is too expensive.
e.g. ROUND SHIELDED ATA 100 IDE RIBBON CABLE:

Special Reserve-£18
Other hardware website-£3

Would be nice if you sold more motherboards as thats all your really behind on, your processors and ram are well priced considering you don't charge p+p but you only sell SDram supported ones! yet you sell DDR ram.
Also can you get some smaller video cards, i'm finding it really hard to find a 8Mb 3d card.

It would be good if you sold Speaker Tripods, as I think I need a couple to get the best out of my surrond sound speaker system. Basically it would be good if you could increase how much accessories you sell for things like speakers.

The only Printer Lead is the USB Printer Lead 1.8 metres.

I'm sure my printer is about 1.5 metres from my PC, and if it was having to go under, over and round things to get to the PC, that might be too short. Longer, and possibly even a shorter lead than 1.8 needed.

:D

(The room my PC is in has 2 computers and a laptop, and the PC that I am using right now is on the opposite side of the table from the printer, in case anyone was wondering how I could possibly use a printer nearly 2 metres away.

You don't sell Apple MAC's or Apple Laptops.

My sister wanted one a while back, took a look in your magazine and all you had was PC's and normal PC Laptops running Windows.
