Re: Gadget prize ideas

iPod touches are always a safe bet. The 32gb version is around £280.

Re: Gadget prize ideas

The new Bose iPod sound dock would be a nice prize aswell.

Bose® SoundDock® Series II digital music system - Apple Store (U.K.)

Perhaps you could do a SoundDock and Nano bundle for £300.

I think its nice because, it sounds good, nice to own a Bose badge and it's something that most people would like but wouldn't buy because they would go for a cheaper alternative.

Cheers,

Nigel

A PS3.

Games Console, Media hub and Bluray player all-in-one

£300 will buy you an 80Gb PS3 bundle with a couple of games, couple of Blu-rays and a Blu-ray remote.

Re: Gadget prize ideas

Since posting this I did a bit of searching and found that the Iphone can be got on a PAYG option so it's going to be that. I didn't realise it was available on PAYG until today!
Thanks for your suggestions everyone
Might be best to close this now ?
