						Asda and Tesco allow you to place an order up to the 16/12 if you're thinking of getting in early... I've placed preliminary orders with both that I'll modify closer to the time

						EU PS3 Store update in one easy to read list rather than trawling through the store (I'm downloading the Sonic CD and Goldeneye demos, though I have my doubts about Goldeneye already): http://www.computerandvideogames.com/32 ... r-pound49/Oh yeah, and the Access video download, always good for wasting 10 minutes
