    Personally I don't think retailers should refund the difference. Its been a good sale this but it really has brought the worse out in people. Some people have bought loads to make a profit by selling on ebay, other people have reserved loads of them at Argos and are then charging people up to £50 for the reservation number. Its basically middle class looting!!

    The OP has been unfortunate as its a valid issue for her so in her case hopefully HP will refund the difference but these customers who bought loads at full price on Monday to get their money back after the price cut frankly shouldn't be refunded at all! Decent people waited until the price cut happened and then tried to buy one. These queue jumpers get on my nerves!

    I think that would be a different matter.
