Comet replacement unfit for purpose

rip off
i got this as a inshurance replacement but its not fit for the purpos for anyone
it was sold to me as a 3000mb graphics and its not ,it takes 4dvd's to do reboot disks but ruins 3 off them
it is slow ,if you want it to play games for get it IT WILL NOT PLAY any of the new games
will play games if you only want to use minimal graphic's and on minimal settings
it dose not have any ps2 pluge so you need to use the usb for keyboard and mouse taking 2 of the 6 usbs on the system .
Dont but the extended warenty for any product they supply as it runs at the side of the manafachurse garentee and not when it ends
thay will right the system off rather then fixing it
i would sugest you look first at the manafachurs garentee as some are doing 2
if it is to be replaced then its not that easy to do this unless you want to pay the extra
if you buy a manigers promotion then i would say DONT cause its not worth the money
if anyone wants pics of the system before they changed it please let me know as i have screen shots

    @ xxdeebeexx,

    It appears your question has already been answered by Wil, as he has explained exactly what you need to do to use your discount code.

    @ vcousins
    Although I am not entirely sure of the details of your issue, if you would like to send me more information using the below link, quoting reference 143241, I would gladly look into this matter for you and investigate into the allegation that you feel this was mis-sold.

    Surely this is a troll.

    I can't work out what is happening. I'll ask for a translation.

    I can only hope my message was clear and [STRIKE]consise[/STRIKE] concise.

    Trust me to make a spelling mistake when trying to poke fun at someone else's spelling. :o

    Hmmm....

    Right.

    To start with I'm going to cut these posts out and give them a thread of their own.

    Then I'll talk with the BG's on vouchers about dealing with the duplcation etc.

    Hi all,

    I've now stitched the OP's two post sets together, the first couple are older and from the Vouchers board.

    The OP has a response from a Comet rep, so we can only wait for results now :)

    Hi all,

    Can I remind you of the following Forum Rule:-

If you don’t like someone, their situation, their question or feel they’re intruding on ‘your board’ then please bite the bullet and think of the bigger issue... a Guardian article recently “doffed its cap” to this forum as being the one place where consumers can collect together and fight back, our job is to help keep it that way.

    Op we need to know a bit more before we can determine if comet are being fair or not.
    What was replaced ie what did you have originaly, how old etc, a model number would do. What did you get to replace it again a model number would do.
    You don't get 3000mb graphics cards, I assume thats what you mean but is it ram your talking about. A little bit more info would help.

    Hi all,

    I'm going to close this thread while waiting for the Forum Team to review it.
