(rant) PC World, why does it exist?
Seriously, why does it even exist? I went in looking for three things:
OEM Windows 7 Home ArmA2 Firewire 400 to 800 adaptor Could I find ANY of these? NO. Were there any staff around? Not really. The games section was cluttered and disorganized, their only copies of Windows 7 (extra expensive edition) were tucked away on a low shelf surrounded by copies of Office (as opposed to, say, on a big rack next to the colossal Windows 7 demonstration area) and I have a larger and more varied collection of cables than they had on sale. At least in Maplin the guy knew what I was trying to do but said they didn't sell an adaptor for it, only an entirely new cable costing £18.99 (which like my existing Firewire cable would be used ONCE) but crucially THERE WAS A GUY. WHO BREATHED THROUGH HIS NOSE. AND KNEW ABOUT THE STUFF HE SOLD. Honestly, if you want software there's Amazon and Ebuyer, if you want hardware there's Maplin and Dabs. If you want an actual computer, fleabay. The high street is dying because it's a load of complete crap. http://angrydome.net/angry_dome.jpg |

PC world are over priced and 90% of them dont know what they are talking about.
I often use scan for hardware. maplin still tent to be on the expensive side too imo. O yeah and 3/10 on your rant. |

If you dont want an RJ45 lead for £9.99 you are not the type of customer they require

I tend to use Scan as they are just down the road, so if anything turns out dodgy, I can get it back to them same day for exchange/refund etc.
