Happy

Gregs and McDonalds accept contactless payments.

Even better is if you can Google Wallet working on ur NFC enabled Android phone, then Google give you $10 (yes USD) free credit. Enough for a meal on them. Should have seen the look on the guy's face when I waved my phone over the paypoint......

WTF?

1TB £225

I bought a 1TB WD Black 2 weeks ago. Price one day was £75. Next day, after ebuyer.com refreshed stock the price was £90. Bought it then. The current price is £225

They have nothing under £125 - and I think that's for a 160GB 5400rpm drive.

Thumb Up

Personally, I'm waiting for a streaming only service. An hour round trip to Blockbuster to rent a Blu-Ray is too much effort and time. By the time I get back, half the time available to watch the film has gone.

Would be alot happier waiting 10min or so to buffer the download.
