I haven't been out and buying a game from a shop for ages. All those Woolies, Smith's and EB's they are all going online now, why because I hate going out in the cold, to go Christmas shopping. Even Supermarkets are taking it seriously!
All these mail order sites are as popular as ever. SR has never been as popular, people rather buy from their home, rather than stepping out in the rain. What lazy bums we are they say.
Game Shortages are rarely there in online shops, but in high street shops, they are very likely, i remember Zelda OoT kept on going out of stock!
Shopping online is getting better and better, prices are cheaper than ever, postage is free and there's no hassle to rush out to Oxford.
Buying all your games is easy with no queues at all just a phone bill!

The wonderful thing about mail order is pre ordering. I never bothered to do it in a normal shop, but I preordered Zelda from SR, and I got it the day it came out! Now thats service!

All I need is a coke and curry delivery service, and I'll never go out again.

(Is that a good thing?)

Thanks!
Thank you for dealing with this so promptly it's nice having a service provider that offers a good service, rare to find nowadays.
Wonderful...
... and so easy-to-use even for a technophobe like me. I had my website up in a couple of hours. Thank you.
