What was the SEL saying? Was it £299? I have just rung my local & they say that the HP Pessario was at £299! Is it the same one do you think?

when i was ringing around each store was telling me it was £269 so i went there and same woman i spoke to served me and she look kinda gutted and so did everyone else working behing the counter because i had the last few they may tell you it comes up at £269 until it goes through as if you were paying. the box on the shelf had the barcode blacked out but im guessing thats because someone else said it was scanning as an acer laptop. hope everyone else finds some.

I've just been and bought the last 2 at Heaton Park (one for son, one for Mum)

At first when they were scanning the boxes, it was scanning at £199.99 and the original price was £279.99. I queried what the SEL said and then she said that it must have scanned wrong, but looks like the original price included the discount. She shown me the printout of the box scanned and even though it was a Compaq box, it was scanning an Acer Aspire at £199.99!!!

So same glitch must be working on Acers too

Anyway, she wwent in the box and brought out the actual laptop which scanned at £169.99 so really pleased as thats sons xmas pressie sorted.

Thanks so much OP ... and now I can stop reading the HP Touchpad thread, lol

Funnily enough i must have been in the store right after you,my receipt says 2.12pm and i was in there a while before i went to the till.

They told me i'd bought the last one and someone had just bought two before me,a small world hehe

I also had a voucher for double Nectar points :j

Many thanks OP
