To be honest, I can't see it being much less than £45 anywhere and if Amazon were £10 more for Pro, I can't see them being less for HP.

Frankly, from the looks of things, i'm not sure Amazon and Play got any HP stock. That or they're holding it til morning to give other people who aren't sad like us a chance

tbh I really don't want to risk getting a overdraft charge.

Think I'll wait for amazon/play as they say in black and white it isn't taken.

ebuyer is out of HP

NokkonWud · 15-07-2009, 00:28

Well I was at the final stage of eBuyer before it took everything out my basket as they were all gone, which sucked. Then they appeared for £5 more on Play.com so I ordered 2 on there knowing they definitely won't charge until dispatch.

Oh, and Home Premium is up on Play.com obviously

Ah that's good to know Nokkon, if they were actually gone it just wouldn't have let me order, having actually got an email suggests I got in there in time.

couldn't find it @ ebuyer, grabbed it at staples instead

Too slow on HP due to dithering, but I grabbed two copies of Pro (one for the laptop and one for the new PC when I get around to buying/building it - won't be before the release date).

Reading on eBuyer forums suggests they'll be Retail discs with no upgrade checks whatsoever, which I'd also heard from elsewhere. Microsoft won't be offering upgrade discs in the EU for a while due to the 'Windows E' policy (i.e. no IE) to avoid another bunch of EU bureaucrats sticking their oar in where it doesn't belong.
