Ok, so not content with my idea for Gameaway Summer 2K1, I have dismissed my shortfallings and decided to start an appeal.
Not for charity, but for Special Reserve. Now - believe me when I say this, they are not paying me to write this!
Many of you have won a game or a film or 2 or more on the site, saving you the expense of either around £20 for a DVD or £40 for a game. Woohoo! That's great isn't it. BUT.
Special Reserve are unique in this sense. Do you know any other website that does this? No? Exactly. So, this is my plea, which will hopefully give SR a slight boost.
During the next week, I am appealing to you to make an order on the site in order to keep SR going - to keep the famous GAD and FAD going.
You can order anything of course - but just get one item or more within the next 7days. BUY that game you always wanted - BUY that film you've been craving for, but BUY them here. The prices are reasonable, with NO shipping costs and no hidden charges. And everytime you order you get a REDDY! So, just five orders will gain you enough reddies for redemption of a free gift!
"Reddies for redemption!"
Ok. So, maybe you want a GBA - you should get one, don't delay. And don't listen to SR's news topic saying not to order won - win one instead - just get one now! It'll save disappointment.
Still interested in a PS2? That £299.99 deal seems like the best around and it's available with 0% finance. You get a PS2 - £270, an extra official memory card £30, an extra official pad £20 and a DVD remote - £10 I would imagine. so you're saving a good £30 there, after the PS2 reduction!!
Get a DREAMCAST! Cheap, plentiful and unashamedly Sega - this little beaut is the fastest thing under a ton. Best game selection in a long time and crazy Taxi 2 is out friday.
SO. Will I be buying something? Err, erm, yes I will. And you should too.
I want you to feel proud about buying something from here - and you should do. If you do make the order - tell us in this topic - with what you bought, when, why and how much it was. Simple really?
Ok, thanks for reading.
Now go hunt your parent's credit cards out! Ask their permission first of course.

So Dan, I see you got the job at SR, congratulations! :D
What do you want to bet Dan wins GAD today?
They've just had over £2000 from me for my new MAXX - and they're highly likely to be getting my orders for all the PS2 games I want, so that should net them another small fortune!
i ordered some RAM from SR the other day, so i'm doing my bit.
So they will than like you and you will forever be winning GAD?
Well, I was going to buy a dual IDE cable but the product search comes up with the most stupid things. Top of the list: Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (?!?!?!?!).
So I got one free off school.
I was going to buy a HDD because the second one I got was making ... unsettling sounds. I consulted my school about what to do and guess what?
They gave me a free one.
My floppy drive is deceased so I need a new one. My school has disabled all of theirs so, guess what?
They gave me a free one! (It wasn't "compatible" with the button on the front of my PC though, so I just DCC to Mum's and use hers.)
But, I will be buying GT3. That is, if I don't win one, which I doubt I will.
And, no, my school doesn't have a PS2!
Soz SR!
