might be a bargain i saw this yesterday along with a 4mb memory card also 99p in Argos Kirkcaldy its in all the sale leaflets but im sure like most things its a con as they never have any stock , just another stunt to pull people into their stores ....can people not see this ??????????????

We were visiting Middlesbrough on Saturday and popped into Argos at approx 11.00 to pick up the new catalogue and also to see if they had any 99p controllers and memory cards to go with the Mario Football Gamecube bundle we got Bubba Junior for Chrimbo (thanks to Santa.... oops... sorry .... MSE ).

They had 11 memory cards and if I remember correctly 14 controllers in stock at that time but obviously they were likely to sell out quick at that price.

It's the early MSEer that catches the bargain

Cheers,

Plus you will find the usual eBay crowd who will have reserved as many as the store had as soon as the offer started...

Hmm....that *wouldnt* be me...
I got 5 gamecube controllers
and 3 gamecube memory cards
I had ordered four but apparently the staff "couldn't find it" so they refunded.

Now...I dont even have a gamecube...
what do to with them?

This is a money saving forum, not a place to brag on how much profit it is going to make you, due to highlighting savings or bargains. If you are going to do that, don't go posting it on the forum (I think most people will agree with me)

Most people will agree that if you don't have something nice (or helpful) to say then dont say anything at all.

I was merely replying to ehosin and if you find light hearted banter offensive then maybe these forums are not for you.

NO - I DO NOT AGREE WITH YOU!

Instead of thanking the OP, you actually spent the time to post a sarcastic message which actually doesn't help anyone - defeating the whole object of this site/forum. If you have nothing helpful to add I advise strongly that you SAY NOTHING AT ALL. I appreciate all posts whether they help me or not, and by making your comments, you could actually prevent people sharing their bargain finds with others.

I was able to make use of the information in this post - so Thanks to OP and BOOOOOOOOO to you (joined the board 5 minutes ago...). Huge WHAT-EVER!
