Apparently loads of places have broken street date, so it might be worth having a look around today.

Have you managed to pick on up yet Matt? Not sure whether they'll know about the street date today in somewhere like Makro.

http://www.makro.co.uk/servlet/PB/me...441/index.html is the link for those wondering.

So far, very impressed.
I WANT A PAIR!!!!

I'd save a fortune on light bulbs.

To be honest you get what you pay for - some hunting night visions will set you back in the region of £400 for something of practical use... but you could also pick up some 'Armed Forces' style extras for about £100 that would 'do the job' for about 40-50 feet.

I think they're a good bit of fun for a gaming enthusiasts or 'cod-nerds' alike!

I was going to hold out getting this but the hype machine has done it's work and really want it now.

There is a Makro nearby but as I don't have a business account we'll be giving that a miss. Asda the 2nd cheapest? Any news from Tesco?

I've changed my mind now and won't be going to Asda tonight. I realised I'm simply too far behind on a lot of my reviews to get this straight away. I may pre-order from Amazon as they've dropped their price down to £32, put it on 2nd class delivery, and hammer the reviews out before it arrives. If I were to get it tonight none of the reviews would get done for a month, and they really need doing pronto.

Mines on pre-order but I might take a peek in Sainsburys to see if I can grab a bargain and return/sell my pre-order.
