Toys R Us is probably the best plan.

Isn't Toys R Us a part of amazon, and since Amazon are sold out won't TRS have the same problem?

**T!dus_Beta** · 11-16-2005, 01:19 PM

seriously? i neva knew that! toys r us took pre-orders also, and have stopped taken em aslo!

**Spark** · 11-16-2005, 01:22 PM

Toys R Us aren't part of Amazon, as far as I know, but they are probably one of the many major UK retailers who now run their online operations through them, like WH Smith and Waterstones.

When I was last in a Toys R Us (the weekend before last, I was playing with Star Wars stuff and probably making myself look like a right tosser) they were still taking pre-orders for Christmas, because one of the assistants was trying to get me to buy one.

hmmmmm, the websites taken em down, ill give one of em a call! but any other places?

**Spark** · 11-16-2005, 01:27 PM

Maybe Currys, Dixons, Tesco or Asda.

Just avoid the primary Games stores like Game, Gamestation, HMV, Play and Amazon, because they're where everybody else will go first.

I was actually thinking Tesco. Just pop in early on 2nd of december and have a quick look... Anythings worth a shot.

Well my sister works in a Tesco store, and they still had PSP's on launch day sitting on the shelf, and some of them stayed there until the 3rd/4th of September.

This is the best deal ToysRUs have, and to be honest, it only looks like it would save you £5-10 anyway. They normally do much better than this.

Well I've been through a few links for you, and oddly enough, this looks to be the most promising:

problem is on front page says they cant garantee before xmas

**Spark** · 11-16-2005, 01:41 PM

Well try Gameplay then, they apparently still have availibility on their second allocation.

Other than that, it looks like you're gonna have to make a mad dash to the supermarket on the 2nd.

Game = No, I actually spoke to 3 stores in my area, 1 said you'll be lucky if you get one this year, another laughed and the other one told me you won't get one if you just walk in....
