I went to 2 today. Chelmsford and Sawbridgeworth. My mate who was driving was not impressed.
We drove from Braintree to Chelmsford and couldnt find a car parking space. So we decided to go to the Sawbridgeworth shop. Only we had to go via Finchingfield as my mate didnt have a road map in his car.
We should have been able to go straight along the A120, but there was an accident so we were diverted off to Dunmow.
After about a 3 hour treck (with a capital TRE) we finally got to Sawbridgeworth and found the shop. I was quite glad we went there because someone on here had said there was a playable GBA in the store.
Well, I couldnt see it, AND I had to go to the counter with a Pokemon game for mate as he had no cash on him!
But I did buy 4 wheel Thunder for the DC wich is an ok game, so it wasnt completely wasted.
I went into game in my lunch hour on Monday and asked for details about pre-ordering GBA's and they said 'Leave your name and phone number downstairs and we'll phone you next week with some details)
Yesterday in my lunch hour I went into Electroniques Boutique and they gave me loads of details.
So I'm going with the shop that sounds most proffessional, and cheapest...
...I would've preferred to go with SR, but you have to pay a deposit...
In fact next week I'm going to pre-order my Gameboy Advance (and I was told that I don't have to pay a deposit!)
Tony, how many of those blooming Roding places are there anyway? I swear i went through at least 15 on my excursion through rural essex. Some of therm only seemed to be one house!
