Thanks for the Dixons Xbox360 discount, it took me a couple of hours to fight with the Dixons site and CC verification but I managed it in the end.

I need to stop reading this thread...I keep buying things that I wasn't intending to, or least sooner than I expected.

Just gone for the x-box offer. Looks like it was just in time. But, on my order it says nothing about express delivery...just that it is free standard delivery.

That's my Dixons confirmation arrived, although they sent the mail three times?! Each one seems to have the same order number so there shouldn't be a problem.

This weekly's special at Play-Asia:

Pac N Roll (JP version) for Nintendo DS at $14.90!

The evil Ghost Golvis turns Pac-Man into a sphere and you need to help him save his friends and family.

Castle Pac is celebrating the large crop of power pellets gathered, when the Harvest Festival is suddenly disturbed by a UFO that emits a Ghost Beam, turning Pac-Land into Ghost-Land. Suddenly attacked by the large monster Golvis, Pac-Master chomps on a power pellet and initiates attack - but while the other ghosts run blue, Golvis remains calm, laughing. Then from his guitar comes a Ghost Light that turns all Pac's into spheres!

Now with the help of a little Fairy, Crystal, Pac-Man must save his family and girlfriend from the evil Golvis and Ghosts. You are Pac-Man, controlling his every rolling move with the Nintendo DS stylus. Go forward, turn, dash, make a sharp stop; you can control Pac-Man any way you want. With intuitive controls and a twist on the classic Pac-Man franchise, this is a must have for your NDS game collection.

I got the same email three times from dixons, i'm still a bit sceptical over allocation though, not getting my hopes up for dixons to get em in really but we can hope!

[JohnMcL7]

Yeah, I'm getting the 5 days thing as well on the Dixons account section.

I'm in no rush, I hadn't planned on buying one until after Christmas so if this arrives before then it's a bonus.

[JohnMcL7]

Just a quick concern, with this being Dixons - is the additional pad definitely a genuine one?

Speaking of weekly special, they have also updated it, which is now Capcom's Gyakuten Saiban: Mask Vision Murder Case / Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney at US$ 24.90 for Nintendo DS.

From the publisher: Meet Phoenix Wright, the rookie defense lawyer new to the scene with the wildest cross-examination skills in town! Take on five intriguing cases to reveal dramatic, stunning, and even comical court proceedings.

You won't be able to put down this laugh-out-loud, riveting adventure!

Game features:
- Language: English/Japanese (selectable).
- Gamespot Editor's Choice E3 2005 Best of Show "Best Adventure Game" Award.
- Play from the first person perspective through five intriguing cases.
- Two distinct gameplay segments:
