"Christmas may have come early!"

I pre-ordered on 1st Nov(!) and was worried about getting my PS2 for Xmas.

Just phoned gamesstreet.com and they said that they've now received their FULL allocation of machines so I'll get mine by the weekend.
So, assuming this actually happens, I should hope that most of us still waiting will get the God-like console soon!!

[B]Collapsing Interiors of the Modern Home and the Mind[B]

I examine this film in relation to modern horror genre styles but primarily in its relation to how it explores traditional areas of breakdown: the human mind and the architectural space of the modern home. As a sideline to this I examine the film’s portrayal of violence and it’s effects on the character, and end with a very brief examination of the film’s gender roles.

Have you ever seen Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom?

It will probably be a bit like that...

I know it's too late for you now, but in future, think long and hard before buying *anything* from Dixons, unless it's something very 'simple' that not much can go wrong with - like a blank VHS tape, or at most, a camera.

I have had several, shall we say, 'encounters' with Dixons over the years, and they have failed miserably every single time. These days, I avoid them like the plague.

And while I don't usually condone violence (except in videogames!), I suggest that next time you feel the urge to "deck" a member of Dixons staff, you follow your heart's desire; it's a tall order, but you may just knock some sense into them!

I pre-ordered on the 12th Sept with Dixons and I'm still waiting. Those p****s have screwed something up. After phoning them when they said mine was in the next batch to be delivered on the 4th, the PS2 bloke said "hang in there, mate. Give it a couple of days." I felt like decking him. I don't mind waiting now, but I don't like being lied to!

nice one!

I hope that it is everything that you wanted it to be.
