I got one. Had to get a free Orange SIM first to get the discount. In the end it was £89.99 (including the £10 credit which I sold) + £1.50 for unlock code. So effectively £80.49. Not too bad. Now to flog my old handset (SE C510) to someone to sweeten the deal further.

Decisions, Decisions. Should I debrand the standard 2.1 ROM or go the whole hog and immediately install Android 2.2 alpha 1

Thanks for letting me know about it.

How is it? Is the build quality good and is the touch screen nice and responsive? I will hopefully be getting one in the next couple of days

I'd go the whole hog as you don't want to set everything up then decide to go the whole hog.

Most of my stuff is from very poor & drunk people... Nothing wrong here - they're happy because of money for another bottle and I'm happy because I have something from the past.

Amiga 600

Won and have already picked up this Amiga 600 for £8.99. All in good working order, just needs a bit of a clean.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Had to pay £2.60 return on the train of course but still beats the £14 quoted for postage.

I have destruction derby RAW on PS1, play it every now and then via my PS3

Bought Lotus Challenge 2 and Lemmings for £6.20 on ebay a few hours ago.

Day before that i bought Sega Megadrive controller for a fiver.

I need to stop wasting my money on all this stuff. :P I need to save my money for all the shiny 360/PS3 games about to grace the game shelves.

Greatly infuriated as my PS3 crashes everytime i try an unfinalized Miss Marple / Poirot DVD my dad recorded. :P I can understand it not reading them, but actually crashing when it tries is out of order.

Hoping to buy a 2nd Amiga mouse soon, need to be able to play Lemmings and Settlers with 2 players.

Technically I didn't buy it...but a surprise box arrived in the post from a very good friend of mine.

It contained a PowerBook G4 400mhz (hacked to 500mhz by me tonight)

Slow machine by modern standards, but a fun toy anyway

Amiga 1000

Took a chance on this as it seemed a very good price.

Turns out the joystick is a bit duff... 3 rubber feet missing and 2 micro switches no longer work

@Dagger... That A1000 looks great! Really hope it works out better than my recent purchase
