Nope as you have to pay £4.99 delivery which puts it above the £19.99 shopto are selling it for.

Few other decent prices, Left 4 Dead £20, Orange Box £15 etc.

Everything has at least 10% off, some as much as 75%, well worth a look.

Bought Doom, Doom 2, Wolfenstein and Bioshock last night. Might get Far Cry 2 later.

However Bioshock won't run. I get the error message below. Any ideas?

Leighton Buzzard is 5th Jan. I wonder who'll take it over here. WHSmith are just down the High Street in a laughably small store. I bet they'd like it. The Woolies store isn't really big enough for a supermarket and we've already got Tesco/Morrison's/Iceland etc so apart from a small brand no-one would want to go there. So Smiths to take it over I think and get rid of the small store they are stuck in right now.

Exception Code c0000005 seems to be related to not being able to access RAM it thinks it should be able to.

So, might be worth checking RAM is ok (or that nothing else is using it that shouldn't be).

Could also be an issue with Vista, especially if it's x64

Hmm thanks divine.

Found some interesting links on Google, now I know what part of the error code to check.

I have the same problem with Civ 3 as well on vista. Not sure of any fix for it though

It's probably worth a punt running it in XP Compat mode but i'd be surprised if it helped.

Well new sound card drivers stopped the error message appearing. However now the Bioshock logo just sits there and eventually I click on the logo and it seems that Bioshock isn't responding. Going to try DirectX update now.
