Xbox Mega Pack Deal - £99 (merged)

Posts: 1,202 Forumite
I have just gone to reserve a XBox mega pack setup on the Argos website (i.e. the one where you buy the XBox, Mega Pack and Steering Wheel for around £125) and noticed it has got £99.99 on the XBox and then £0.00 for both the "Mega Pack" and "Steering Wheel".
This reminds me spookily of the Slimline PS2 plus Buzz error a few weeks ago, which was honoured because the website always showed the £99.99 price so they couldn't use the 'Price you pay is the price in store" excuse.
567/8231
567/1867
568/0126
Are the numbers. P.S website printout showing the £99.99 is highly recommended!
This is an absolute steal

Don't think it's a misprice as if you go to the page that shows the console and scoll down it says add all 3 items to the trolley and you can save £124:)

Sorry John i'm not quite with you?
What i am getting at is if you go to the console page that i linked to and scroll down to the 3rd special offer box it says add them items to your trolley aswell as the console and you save £124 but they have their single item price next to them.Darren0 -

I'm with you but what i was trying to say was it isn't a misprice as such as it says if you add the mega pack and the steering wheel to your trolley when buying the console then you save £124 which is the value of the pack and the wheel so that's why they show up as free in the trolley.
Hope that makes sense or maybe i'm wrong i am quite tired so could be wrong;)Darren0 -
That has just confused me now I understand what you are trying to say...As a few weeks ago this pack cost me £125!
Well I'll report back tomorrow as this is amazing for £99.99! The XBox alone would cost £79.99 on Play.com (Cheapest I think?) so for £20 more you get a extra official controller, official DVD playback kit, 2 great games by the Microsoft Games team and a steering wheel. You could probably sell all the extras for much more than £20
