currys state they will price match asda in their price promise

I've just read the Asda press release, in this it states "a 3Gb laptop for £375", not the £275 in the original post. I'm not having a go, just pointing out what appears a genuine mistake (typo?) Thanks to the OP anyway

Dont forget that the VAT on something is 17.5%
But the VAT in something is 15%, so dont go mad with the check out person if they only take 15% off.

Example £10 + VAT (10 + 17.5%) = £11.75
£11.75 - VAT (11.75 - 15%) = £9.99

I dont mean to imply people people are stupid or anything, I just wanted to make it clear, so people dont expect 17.5% off thier bill (unless of course Asda state 17.5% off).

People are getting mixed up with the VAT change to 15% which of course is completely unrelated

Taking off the VAT means a reduction of 14.89% (which you've rounded to 15%) but I suspect Asda will give a 17.5% reduction due to their huge newspaper adverts today

Does anyone know any more of the specs for the £275 laptop?

No, but you may need to buy extra food to feed the Hamster on a wheel that powers it. :rotfl:

i've just dropped an email to currys about their price matching..

has anyone tried before? is it as simple as going into the store and showing a print out? or can you do it online?
