The free headphones with the Sunday Star coupon look like to be these:

It mentions the offer in the description. I wonder how many they actually have in stock for this promo!0 -

I've tried to order them but it says when I put the code in:
The voucher you entered cannot be used at this time.
Please check the information you received with the voucher. Vouchers can often only be used within a specific time period.
The paper just says it needs to redeemed by tomorrow - 1st come, 1st served basis.
Bit annoying - I only bought the paper for this! Play give their CS number after the text above but they're not open until 9am. I'll let you know when I know further.¿Alguien ha visto a mi nave espacial?
Biting is excellent. It's like kissing, only there's a winner.0 -

Yes, a code for the headphones would be great because my puppy chewed up two sets last week and now I have NONE!0

Just spoken to Play.com - they say that the offer doesn't start until mid-night tonight, hence my error message above.
I've made the point that the paper says 'offer ends mid-night tomorrow (Monday 23 August)' and 'you must claim by mid-night tomorrow.' Nowhere does it say that it doesn't open until mid-night tonight.
The chance of there being one available when I can log in tomorrow at 7:00 is remote. I'll think I'll make it even remoter by giving everyone the code :-):

Thank you for sharing, and I hope you manage to get a pair yourself!0

Rough details from a quick look through the paper in shop:
Free Disposable BBQ worth £3.99, pick up today only, at RSMcColl group
Free 8 piece geometry set - send away offer P&P £2.24
Also 2 for 1 vouchers (free child admission with each paying adult) for some local attractions, e.g. Loch Lomond Aquarium, Butterfly World etc0 -
Thank you for sharing, and I hope you manage to get a pair yourself!
Thanks.
I'm even slightly more annoyed now as the landing page on Play.com says 'Order Today':
http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/3-/638204/2-/Promo.html?dpr=638204%3fsource%3d11987&pid=638204
I thought it was the newspaper's fault; now it looks like play.com's.¿Alguien ha visto a mi nave espacial?
