I've been sending emails to Ali and posting messages for over a week now about not having received a game that I won 3 weeks ago. After all my efforts Ali has (finally) emailed back saying th game was dispatched over 2 weeks ago. He said that it was either at my local PO, or had got lost in the post. Since all the games I have got from SR fit through my post-box (and even if they didn't, the neighbours would have it, or I would have a slip from the PO saying that it's there), then I think that this is very unlikely- I'll check tomorrow to make sure. However, if the game has been lost in the post then basically "tough luck!". (That was not an exact quote). What Ali said is that a very small number of games are lost in the post, and that the only thing I can do is write in to the company magazine- ie He could do nothing. On GOOD sites like Simply Games, he situation is slightly different. You see, they offer next day delivery, and they didn't deliver the game for a whole week. They said it was probably lost in the post, and gave it to me FREE! So for f**ks sake SR, get your act together- not only are your prices higher than Simply games, and they have no membership fee, but also they give free next day delivery and if delivered late give you the games free! I don't think I'll renew my membership next year at this rate!

'My Lttle Eye' 2002 (dir. Marc Evans)
Tagline: Fear Is Not Knowing. Terror Is Finding Out.

Synopsis:
Five young people apply to live in an isolated house together for six months whilst their every move is filmed by numerous cameras. Each has their reason for wanting to be there - fame, money, adventure. The prize - $1 million. The rules - if one person leaves, everyone loses. It becomes the ultimate morality test. When Danny's beloved grandfather dies, does his greed overcome his love? When the skittish Emma finds blood on her pillow why does she still stay behind? And what dark secret does the house harbour that leaves them feeling as though they're being watched by more than just a million pairs of eyes?

In this quizz you have to name the title and date of a horror/thriller movie with a plot that involved people trapped in a house.

One title per post people!

I don't know what everyone's problem is!

This is the first time I have looked at this, and why don't you shut up RAV! You are getting a FREE game which Ali got you in the first place. Remember his job is not just sending out the gameaday games.

They have made this discussion board for us, provide a game to be won each day and yet you still complain after you have won. I hope your game never turns up!

I'd agree. I've been buying games and hardware from SR ever since the first gameboy came out, which is an awfully long time ago. Back then they used to be pretty slow at delivering. I'd usually have to wait about 2 weeks, but then everything was cheaper and the rest of the service was pretty good. Nowadays, they've improved their post service and although I've not got enough money at the moment, I've got my eye on some cheap games for the N64 in the SR mag. Only one eye mind.
