XBOX Crystal & Driver 3 Bundle £99

Comments

  • I bought Xbox + Controller + Halo2 for £112 on Monday. nearly got the free controller and wheel, but got rumbled at the till.
    I then saw the £10 voucher offer on Tues, so went to a different store and bought Xbox + Rainbow6 + Wheel + Controller for £99, added some batteries and got a £10 off voucher.
    Heres where it gets interesting.
    I went back to original store and tried to return my first bundle. They told me the Halo2 game ( free ) was excluded from the 16 Day money back deal !!!!! and they could only take back the console and controller. So I got all my money back, and got to keep the game !!!!

    hehe very nice ;)

    Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life.
  • did you need receipt, and if u got the wheels and controllers they would want those also would they not to refund your money.
  • went to argos this morning,
    they would ONLY give the steerning wheel and ONLY with driver 3

    they've updated the computer now so it doesnt let any other combo
    What goes around - comes around
    give lots and you will always recieve lots

    Noticed instore today, they have a promotion for xbox, driver 3 and steering wheel, think it was £129.

    So this bargain may be over :(

    The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it.

    But that is the normal price package that has always showed on the Argos web page, but if you put in those details online it still shows as £99 as I said on the very first page of this thread.

    The Xbox Crystal console page shows that offer still, and below it says to add Driver 3 and you get the steering wheel bundle for £129.99 although the controllers do not show on the reserve page you will be offered these at the checkout, unless the individual stores have stopped this.

    It still comes up at £99 with other games too, and when you get to your local store checkout with your reserved game and console you will be offered the extras for free.

    just tried at another store

    wrote all the codes down and handed it over, i only put for 1 wheel and controller

    ended up with
    crystal xbox
    sonic
    extra controller
    steering wheel

    and brought some batteries to take it over £100 for the £10 voucher :)

    just told the woman my friend had got the offer yesterday and she laughed as all the stuff came up as £0.00 :)

    Good result  ;D

    It was worth going to another store then  ;D ;D

    A lot of it depends on how dopey the store staff are at the time  ;D ;D

    I got an extra wheel because the women at collection were too busy chatting amongst themselves, and didn't notice the cashier had hand written only one steering wheel on the receipt.
