PC World have got better at some things; I got my TV from them and had nothing but a great experience.

They still suck at the small stuff though; components are waaaay overpriced, and the only people who seem to be half way trained are in the Tech desk bit. I still enjoy going for a browse and picking up stupidly mispriced items though. My best two finds were Buzz! Special Edition for £30 and Crysis...a month after release...for £14 :)

Wait, bargains in PC World in Truro? Shurely shome mishtake? Shame there's nothing else worth visiting at that 'retail park'.

Mind you that road is also a nightmare for traffic, especially now with the temporary signals on the Treliske roundabout.

And I've also just thought, we should have a mini-x404 meet-up in Cornwall. County Arms anyone? ;)

We have a new PC World in Notts and it seems empty. Its strange but its a big store and very spacious but it always looks like there's not a lot in it.

What all three of us?!

What we should've done was the South-west one with Jon and Al and a few more of the over-the-border types.
