How's University life treating you? There's nothing I can do about prices I'm afraid (except let you guys moan about them...). It's early days so give the store time to evolve. I'd love to suggest a number of "initiatives" to get loyalty purchases/repeat customers up and give the store a (welcome boost) but I haven't been invited to that meeting yet (not sure if I will with suggestions like these either ;-) ) Happy hunting.

Im looking for a spare battery, and this seems the ideal place to get one as I don't usually trust buying any sort of rechargeable battery online from anyone except the manufacturer direct. But at £99 + shipping, batteries don't come cheap. I may have to shop around, being the poor student I currently am... :D I received the email not a few days ago notifying me of the online store.

I hear you. As with most projects for companies on this scale, it's a question of roll-out, trial and of course, error. Acer's got a very strong ranking over here in Europe (it's the number one in most of the store launch countries) so that will give it a healthy chance to see and fix any flaws in the service before it goes global. That's my excuse anyway. If it works don't think for a minute they won't launch it State-side. Unless of course I get a thousand "yes pleases!" on this post in which case they'd probably bring it forward... There used to be a buy link on the Acer Panamerica site (you can get there from the Acer.com site) but I can't find it anymore. I heard it was still active too. Anyone know where it is? Hey Colin.
