PS3 80gb bundle possible mis price

Options
Quote from HDUK

This is my first post so please bear with me. Argos are currently advertising on TV a 80gb PS3 with free accessory pack worth £34.99 and Gran Tourismo Prologue and Little Big Planet included for £299.97. But in todays daily mirror pg 24 they have it advertised for £229.97. They list 2 order numbers to use to buy it instore but one of them comes up unrecognised and the other is in reference to a Xbox 360 game bundle. I went into the Middlesbrough store today with the paper and they honoured it. Bit of a mess on at the till but walked out with a bargain. Funny thing is though they had a massive poster in the window with the deal at £299.97!!!!

    Well, tried my luck and an e-mail was produced from head office stating it was a misprice due to the paper & that they won't be honouring the price. Well done to those who managed to grab one at that price - absolute bargain.

    I bought a camera from Argos earlier in the year - well ordered it, based on advertisement in their own in-house literature.
    They refused to honour their own leaflet, even though there were thousands of the leaflets still sat on the cs desk with the offer and price clearly advertised. Offer was in date, and it even showed a picture of the camera in question.
    I wrote to Argos head office enclosing copies of my order and their in-house advertisement. But they just refused to honour their price, their advert, their leaflet.

    Congratulations to those who did manage to get them to honour the ps3 offer, although I can image the phone lines were red-hot with the Argos Fat Cats worried about their Xmas bonus, ordering the rank and file to refuse all comers - wonder if they will expect the Mirror group to pay up if it was their mistake :cool:

    i sent my cousin when i saw this, but at the till they produced a memo sent by head office stating not to honour the deal. Gr8 for those who managed to pick one up though.

    Its advertised in todays daily mirror again, at the correct price.

    The memo basically said that the error was with The Mirror and their publishers, if it had been an Argos error they would have honoured it.

    They sent out a brochure a few years back with a toy at £24.99 rather than the £44.99 it should have been, and they did honour it for me that time with it being their mistake.

    Email from Argos today about the deal and reserved it straight away, then collected this afternoon. I did have a few problems as the deal didn't go through the till correct first time, but they went online and there it was..

    PS3 80GB, megapack (with controller), gran tourismo prologue, and little big planet games - all for £299.96.

    It was in the window too, and they were flying off the shelves, finishes Tuesday 11th Nov.
