Post by: patrickl on December 15, 2008, 05:50:06 pm: I wonder if they are still available. The link I found is http://www.lateteaucube.com/site/objets?Id=135, but it doesn't work anymore. (Found the link through several french sites, but for instance this one (http://www.jegalere.fr/test/geek/geek-attitude-le-paillasson-space-invaders/))

We have a winner !! Yeah it was to see if it would be cheaper there both product and shipping) not to mention any possible import duties.

Besides being in stock or not: some price difference between some of the sites mentioned......$110,- or UKP 17,99 !! Very nice especially since the pound has dropped so much to the Euro :)

Thanks !!!

Post by: Level42 on December 25, 2008, 06:57:48 am: Damn, Play.com only delivers gadgets and electronics to the UK !

Anyone willing to forward it to me ? Polaris ?

If i'd be in the UK, I'd ordered this right away too:

http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/-/707/915/-/3439315/Apple-iMac-MA878B-A-2-4GHz-Core-2-Duo-1GB-320GB-8x-DVD-SM-24-Widescreen-Mac-OS-X-10-4-Tiger-Desktop-Computer/Product.html?searchtype=genre

Sharpest price for a 24" iMac I've ever seen. Even though it's older stock.
