| Steven do you know if this applies to all Game stores or is it just Oxford St, London? I have a friend in Newcastle who was planning on going to a midnight launch at a Game store there so I'll let him know just in case it won't happen. Oh on a side note, are the bacon butties still free if you're not buying a PS3?  |

| Yeah its a bit disciminatory not to offer an alternative! I myself a veggie am not in the minority any more. Still guess many geeks aren't as you have to steer away from crisps section all the to the vegetables and that can be a long walk when you're cyber chick is waiting on the other end. Anyway certainly freshen up the smell in those stores...god I felt sick at week before Christmas and my girlfriend had to leave the store because the smell, I got a bargain though! I mean really, do they not use the shower...ever?!  Stealth Geek - And Proud! |

Have you not seen the burger king ad? Really men clearly love to eat a giant meaty burger. I also propose that if more consoles are sold to men than women, Sony should be sued for being sexist. |

| Well yes. I mean, this whole butty thing completely stops me buying a PS3 - Still I will rest easy in the knowledge that I won't be taking up an eagerly contested spot and that by my selfless actions someone's dream will come true. |
