edited 20 March 2010 at 5:15PM in It's gone, but was it any good?
Hi there, I am new to these boards so I though I would share my find with others.

I reserved Fight Night round 4 for PS3 at £14.99 and saw the special offer for half price accessories so I added a PS3 Controller Dual Charging Station priced at £9.99, when I went to checkout the charger went through at £0.00!!!!!!!

I went in to the store to pick it up and the lady said "thats £19.99 please" Luckily I had printed out the email and taken it along with me. Bingo, a game and a free charger for £14.99!!

Hope this is helpful to someone :-))

Forgot to say I did this today!!


Product Quantity Subtotal
Fight Night Round 4 - PS3. 900/4708
1 £14.99

PS3 Controller Dual Charging Station. 566/8980 1 £0.00

Total: £14.99

Includes special offer saving
(if you buy all items together at one store): £9.99

    What happens is that when Argos make a mistake and you go into the store to collect it, if they have realised the mistake and corrected it they are entitled to charge you the correct price. That's probably why the lady said it was £19.99 please. Sounds as though you managed to convince her to give it to to you at the original price but usually they won't, and they don't have to.
    Thanks to all who post constructively.

    Make sure you take in your email with the price on it.

    There was a similar glitch over xmas with Wii games and docking station was coming up free. As long as you took the email to show the price you reserved it at, they honoured it.

    I don't have a PS3, but good luck to those who are going for this!!

    @Roger_Rampant That may be so, but it took no convincing as I just showed her the Email print-out and she corrected the price. Oh, and I'm not sure if it makes a difference but she was the Deputy Manager also :-)

    Have a MINT weekend everyone!!!!

    Just tried this, its not working.

    Added all 3 items and the total for collection has come to £27.47.

    What am i doing wrong?
    is there a voucher code or something?

    Only the controller has come down in price.

    Thanks.
