FFS called on all of the Game Stores in Cape Town - thought I'd be a smart ass and that none of you would touch on Mitchell's Plain - but someone bought them out as well. :eek:

Just heard by a friend that he called his buddies that work at Game in PMB and they had nothing as well.

From what's been said here - it seems the whole country is in a slump.

I'd seriously fly to somewhere else in the country if needed and buy all their stock and bring it back home for the CT boys - with a minor profit margin for the flight costs :p

Damn gonna have to try the pre-order option now :eek:

pity the casing don't come with a "shock proof" mechanism.
that feature in the coolermaster casing certainly saved me a few bob.
my friend dropped his 500GB and it broke just like that without a scratch on the casing.
usb cable little on the short side, i dont know why, but for some reason i get the impression that front usb's work slower, don't know how true though.
also, once you take off the stand to use it horizontally you will notice there aren't any non-slip thingies on the side.
other than that, looks pretty decent for the price.

Check the box. There should be stick-on rubber non-slip thingies in there
