just found this place after looking at various ps2 forums.

not only is it slightly cheaper than play but all the people who use them say that when there has been big games like this gamezone have so far always sent them out before play! (don't hold me to this though lol.just going by what i have read)

i've ordered mine now anyway http://www.gameplay.co.uk/

current official release date is 25/02/05
