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Where are we out of date or over-priced?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For example you could tell us that our A03 drives are out of date and over priced and that we should be selling the A04.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!)
Keep it coming.
Weird...

I thought I was sure, I heard they did it about a year ago, i havn't seen any new stuff from them or anyone else in a while now.
I guess i'll go check then :p

Are you sure? They've just launched the new range of NetMD player/recorders!

It has been mentioned.
By moi. Hoo-haa! Have I succeeded?
No. Darn :(
> Mini-disc players!
Sony have actually stopped production on MiniDisk players, sad as it is, and i'm sure SR wouldn't make much money on blank disks as they only cost about £3 for 5 Sony disks now.
SR sell have a webcam for £24.99, good one too. I think they're a bit outdated though, buy one of those mini cameras, that way you get a still pic camera/movie camera/webcam for £15 more!!
I can get DVD-R discs elsewhere for between 89p and £2.50 each, where yours are aroung £10 for a single disc.
With MD players, sell blank Mini-discs.
You need mini-disc players. I'm telling you that kids aren't into MP3 players and discmans, they just have mini-disc players, and they get music off the net from them. It's what they do. Sony tend to do the best MD players, and get ones with transfer's to Pc.
If you already have MD players, then get a link onto the ukpcparts page!
