    And yet you've only saved £160 in 2011? Haha ...
  • Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any spare reservation codes for argos around the cardiff area?

    Folks - I have started a new thread dealing with the HP Pre 3. I have detailed price etc and when it is likely to be released... it is expected to have a reduction of 200 - 300 pounds and retail for £49. I cannot post links but wanted to give you heads up and share this with folk. It is headed: After the HP Touchpad... now the HP Pre 3 Smartphone. £49 down from £400! Sim Free!

    I think you underestimate the potential damage that bad publicity can do to a brand via social media or websites such as this.

    Let's hope it doesn't come to that - there's still time for Tesco to show they care about their customers - especially when most other major retailers (including HP themselves) have agreed to reduce their prices and refund the difference to those who purchased at the previous price.

    Remember - this is a discontinued product we're talking about here.
    I don't really think that many people are going to care that people who ordered an item at full price so as to jump the queue if the price got reduced are not getting the same savings as people who waited for the prices to be reduced elsewhere.

    The people buying at full price took a risk, and it doesn't seem to have paid off at Tescos. That's the way these things go. They can still take the item back for a full refund, so they're not out of pocket - just unhappy that they didn't get a big bargain.

    If I were Argos in fact, I'd have stopped people making reservations and waited for all outstanding reservations to run out before releasing it - give everyone a chance!

    I'd also limit sales to one per person, per day - but I guess that's just me...

    TIA xx
  • Has anyone got one of these for London please? Would love to pick one up...along with it seems about 1000 other poeple on here..ahh well if you don't ask you won't get.

    Always wanted a tablet but couldn't justify the cost. Went into Argos and the woman was going to order one as warehouse was showing stock - but then it would not let her put the order through *SIGH*

    Thanks

    Do we have anything to confirm that 'a certain retailer' (I have heard CPW/Argos - any more bets?) will be selling more at midnight? Or are we just all on hearsay?
  • Like many other, the pursuit of a touchpad led me here!!

    I have one 16gb on order with amazon, placed at about 00:40 on Tuesday morning. I'm hoping that comes through.

    In the mean time, does anyone have a reservation code either in Leicestershire, Warwickshire or up around alfreton they don't need or want to sell..... ??

    Seems like they are at least trying to sort out the rebate issue and will pass it on if it is possible. Guess a bit of sit tight time till we hear more! Fingers crossed.
