Boots Massive clearance incl gameboys, ps2 etc..... (Merged)

Lincoln High Street store have got plenty of xbox bundles on the first floor (near the photo lab), they come with 2 controllers, and 2 games (the one I looked at came with Sonic heroes & Simpsons hit and run). Shelf label says 149.99 but scanning at £74.99 - much to the sales assistants surprise :-P.

There's an X-box in the Croyden Whitgift centre Boots.

I don't know if they had any GBA Micros though, as everyone I asked just dismissed me. Especially this one rude guy, who told me that Boots didn't sell such items, go to Curry's instead (he must've missed the X-Box and GBA-SP being sold downstairs...). I just walked out after that!

Ended up buying a GBA-Micro at Gamestation for £50 as I had a £20 credit note, half of that being profit from selling a game.

I never thought to look downstairs! (have only been downstairs twice, ever)

Thanks for that. No wonder I didn't find anything yesterday.

Just visited the store closest to my work (Brampton Cortonwood) and they don't have any of this sort of electrical stuff, so I called Rotherham (Parkgate Retail World) and they had no PSP's, but had an XBOX, but it was scanning at about £150.00, she checked this with customer services who said it was correct.

She did mention that they had a "problem" last week with this sort of stuff being "reduced to silly prices" but this has now been resolved.

Missed out AGAIN!

I really wanted a £70 quid brand new PSP too...! Gutted! lol

Teesside PArk store has Xbox bundle (2 controllers, sonic 3 and simpsons hit and run) now at £74.99 reduced from £149.99, theres still one left. This only happened last night apparently according to the assistant. Also have DAB radios but they are scanning at normal price of 89.99. Loads of ipod accessories including shuffle speaker dock for £8.74 for anyone interested. They had a scart freeview adapter thing that plugs straight into your tv for 12.49 too.

Big thanks to all, as I managed to pick up both a ps2 and xbox bundle for £70 for both in Fareham, I phoned and asked if they had either and after a couple of calls and checking stock they reserved these two for me! The young girl in the branch was most helpful and at the time advised me that they still had one of each set available.

I just phoned the Customer service number to enquire about Xbox stock. I was asked if I had seen the details for the £35 pack on Money Saving Expert. Then the service agent said the Xbox was no longer available for the price. He said it was now priced at around £80.

Didn't we all?!
I have to say though a big thanks to Boots - the sales assistant in the Aylesbury store couldn't have been nicer! Not only did she get stuff out of the display cupboard for me (Nintendo DS and GBA bundles) but she also went to the store cupboard to see if they had any PSPs, and came back with only the PS2 and XBox bundles that they had in there, all during a busy lunchtime period. Excellent customer service, even if I was buying bargain stock!
