This is already SSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOO tedious. Although it was on website for a while none of the links worked. It wasn't possible to buy online, it wasn't possible to ring and reserve, it was out of stock for home delivery..... Come on!

And I WOULD have loved to bag a dsi for £80. DS got one from Father Christmas and DD has now decided she would like one for her next birthday. But I have a few weeks to look or she may decide to trade her DS in at Game.

But I didn't think for one minute this was genuine and I'm certainly not going to get irate flogging a dead horse. Let's see if we can have this moved to "expired"!

It WAS possible to order and not only on the phone but several people bought them from a branch having reserved them online!
I,personally have a notice of despatch for yesterday that never arrived and they took my money yesterday afternoon!If this was a misprice why did they take my money and not let me know that they were cancelling it?!!!!!!!I had to call them this morning to find out why I waited in all day yesterday for a delivery that HAD NOT been cancelled!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

How very mature. Let's ignore the posts stating the patently obvious cos we disagree with them and they don't align with our thinking.

No, because they don't contribute anything more than opinion, rather than fact, help or knowledge.

Actually, now I've re-read your post...if it's soooooo tedious, why are you still reading?

I find this an interesting situation and I enjoy reading the points raised but I don't understand why someone who views the situation in this way would come back unless it was for a negative reason.

Loup67 - please don't waste your time. Ignore them. They haven't read the thread, it doesn't affect them. I am not going to reply anymore to people who are just spouting opinion.

Ok, imagine this type of thing happening increasingly. Companies can see other companies ignoring their own t's & c' and also consumer statutory rights. They also see nothing being done about it, because the great british public are so accepting that it just doesn't matter to them that they are being treated in this way. So next time it wont just be Argos, it will be John Lewis or Marks and Spencer etc etc.

We have consumer rights for a reason. We need to defend them also, otherwise what's the point?

As for your second point about problems ordering...there was only a problem online. People could still go instore, phone and text, all morning. The offer was also back at night only this time you could aso order online. Now if Argos were so concerned about this 'glitch', why would the ability to order re-appear 8 hours later? That also gave the impression that this was a go ahead offer.

See here is where our opinions differ. I don't think it is a 'right' to be able to buy something that's obviously mispriced. As people have already said..you win some you lose some.

And I don't care whether it looked as if it was in the sale, the majority of people who ordered KNEW that it was mispriced as they'd been alerted to it by this thread or the one on HUKD!

No neither do I. Which is why I've already said it's just tough on those who weren't able to get one instore (me included).

The 'right' comes into play when someone complies with certain points (in law) that decide what a contract actually is, yet the other party ignore that right and do whatever suits them best.....as was the case with the telephone orders.

Don't know why you waited in? At 4pm on December 30th you posted you would let us know IF it arrived so realistically you had some doubt.
