argos - wii bundle error!

just been to Argos Extra Ipswich to buy a Wii console bundle..... Opted for the £199 option in their sale brochure, Console/Mario vs Sonic/Extra controller/Mega pack...... Got to the till and it came up at £176.19 - the cost of just the console........ Then bought a Wii fit using the £10 gift card to get a tenner off. Total spend £234.68 instead of £267.49!

    Quote from Argos Website - whilst a good offer, it does seem to be correct. In saying that, I haven't seem whether it's a mis-price from anything printed in a brochure.

    "Buy the Wii console with Wii sports game (568/3257) and get the mega accessory pack (568/4108), the nunchuk controller (568/3604) and Mario vs Sonic at the Olympic Games (568/5963) free. To receive offer add 4 items to trolley. Offer ends 14th April 2009."

    Is this a good offer or are there normally good offers around?
