  • I have checked my bank balance as the wife is making my ears bleed at the moment because ive bought 2 but no money seems to have been taken ill wait a few more days and see if it changea b4 contacting them i suppose but as far as i knew i was not getting any and ive just had a phone call today from comet saying my console will be available to collect on wednesday as i preordered in september but was told on 2/12 i would not be able to have as not enough delivered and they could not guarantee me one b4 xmas now it seems i have 3 !!! I think ill send 2 back to argos and keep comet 1 as this is premium package with 2 games
    No reliance should be placed on the above.
  • i got my premium delivered by argos :) wooo

    Correct me if i,m wrong but wasnt previous xbox launch prices well over £300 in shops. i,m guessing the profit margins are therefore low on core units this time round. Another reason being they havent had much supplies in and trying to be greedy selling packages to compensate for it

    I appreciate they have to make money but it grates on me that they have consoles in stock as a package but won't sell them individually. I shouldn't have to be forced in to buying things I don't want just to get the thing I do. Ho-hum.
  • WARNING ABOUT THE GAMESEEK SITE JUST OFFERED

    If anyone did send money via nochex for the 'new stock arrivals' do eveything you can to cancel the money going through.

    The link used was .org and the official site is co.uk

    A few differences you may not have noticed as you were so eager to place your orders. The official site has a sales order hotline on EVERY page, the .org has NONE.

    The official site has details on it's about us and contus us pages, the FAKE has none.

    If you have ordered, contact nochex and your bank ASAP, you have been ripped off !!

    I tried a total of 8 times for a Full system - right through to the payment details and then no stock. So lets hope a Full system turns up today...

    I did the same as this for the psp a few weeks ago and got the same results.On mine i added the extended guarantee with all my orders so when it went through the psp was out of stock but i was still sold the guarantee.I rang CS after finding the freephone number on SAYNOTO0870and after being passed around a few people managed to stop the sales and make sure no money was taken from my bank.End of story i thought! but NO on Friday i got 8 indentical letters through my door,all white envelopes.Wondering what they was i opened one and inside was a letter from Argos saying Thanks you for your order etc and here's a £10 gift voucher.Well every envelope was the same all containing a £10 voucher,so Thank-You argos and Merry Christmas from the izzy family LOL.....
