I humbly suggest that a PS3 pumped through the home cinema when playing a game like 'Resistance 2' would be highly entertaining. Your neighbours a few miles away will call the police and report a gun battle at Chez BM.

You have no idea TG. A couple of years ago a mate of mine got hold of a projection screen rig for his computer and decided to show it off to some of us. Life size AVP2, Nat screamed so loudly when the first alien appeared that the neighbours called the police thinking we were attacking her.

You should have seen the fun we had explaining what had actually happened. We ended up having to show them what we had been doing...  whistle:

How come they don't know about Amazon then...?

The Blu Ray player I want is £155 at Amazon and £224 at John Lewis...

 rubschin:

Despite all that has been posted since your op I note that no-one has tried to answer the question posed. Try reading the FULL John Lewis "promise" and you will find that they qualify it to bona fide retail shops within a certain distance of their own stores. Internet shopping is excluded

Lets face it - it's all advertising jargon anyway that either no one believes or hasn't got the time,  energy or inclination to dispute.

Strangely both of my parents were "Partners" in th John Lewis Partnership for many years.
Decent employers (for retail) and the parents would not hear word against the "Partnership".
That's how I come to know about the price promise. The parents believed in it too.
