My HD-DVD drive came today
I gave up waiting for the various retailers to actually get the UK drive in stock, so cancelled my backorders, & ordered a US drive from SoftUK.com on Thursday night last week.
Arrived this morning, via CityLink.
Cost a little more (£150 rather than £130), but had free delivery, & came with King Kong.
Set it up tonight.
Unlike the one I got from PCWorld a month ago, this one actually works!

(well, so far, touch wood).
Watched M:i:III on it tonight. Very nice!
