Common misconception. Their collect in store prices are often comprable to the internet and sometimes cheaper.

I am so so so annoyed. I went into PC world in Leeds city centre after work (it closes at 7 on Thursdays) and asked to buy a 2 gig usb stick. I got a new member of staff, I had to guide them through the PC world website to it and he said 'no, that's 512mb, the 2gig is 59.99' so I left it. Just checked and it's 29.99! So annoyed because I really wanted one

Just goes to show. You can be as cheap as you like but if your staff are thick you'll still lose sales.

At the risk of going against perceived wisdom I have to stand up for PCW. They usually are expensive but every now and again they surprise you. My Samsung laser printer/scanner/photocopier only cost me £49.99. They once cleared out their FX5700Ultra graphics cards for £39.99 each when everywhere else they were £100+, and last year they had BOGOF on all their PC Chart games which made for some cracking deals, because they also reduced them to £19.99 each so my kids all got copies of Half-Life 2 for less than a tenner a copy.
I often find that their buy and collect prices are good and if I ever have problems with hardware they refund or replace immediately with no questions asked. Anyone who's ever tried to get a refund from Aria for a defective memory chip would appreciate that sort of service.
Sometimes you have to accept that being able to pop into a shop and look at what you intend to buy is going to cost more.
