Damn good thing I sorted my online banking a few days ago. TBH I tend to use it to either pay off the credit card or check the statement.

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):

Oh yeah, and the Access video download, always good for wasting 10 minutes :D
