Just got back, popped in on my dinner break, Wouldnt waste your time TBH. Even with the minimal 10% everything is still more expensive than everywhere else. 50% is only on stuff no-one wants.

I was just trying to show that everybody finds it silly that people think electrical goods would be half price, even when they are distributed by another company at full price

xbox's and stuff go back to the manufacturers,

They wont sell them below RRP

Wooworths is cack, there's nothing worth buying today, hence the reason its going down the pan as there hasn't been anything worth buying for years.

They are selling them at £55 for an xbox and £110 for a PS3 - no lie!!!
I have seen two stores that are doing this. Woolworths in Bath and the one in the centre of Bristol
