I'm not really sure why anyone would preorder something from Music Magpie. They are after all a company that deals in used items primarily. Yes they do have new things but i'm guessing they just have one supplier.

What i'm trying to say is they aren't a store like HMV or Zavvi in the respect of getting in new products.

If you really want an arrow title that's limited pre-ordering online is the better option.

That's my experience with them too, they usually don't have what I go in for.

Ach, I suppose you're right.

They had it listed for pre order as a new item and I suppose they're maybe trying to expand their business or something. It was a cheap price and they had a discount voucher promo on at the time, which made the pre order price for Hills less than a tenner. At the same time as MM had it listed, Zack had it for the same cheap price but they didn't have a discount voucher promo on. I figured I'd take a punt on it.

I presume Zack is Tapatalk running wild? Should it be Zavvi?

Yeah, that's supposed to say Zavvi!

It's this ducking iPhone thinking it knows what I'm trying to say. Lol.
