High Street Purchase at Online Price

Greetings fellow MoneySaving Experts!!

I have a question for the price savvy.

I want to buy a Nintendo 3DS Coral Pink Console Bundle inc Nintendogs + Cats. However as I'm not paid until Friday and my daughter's birthday is Sunday (yes I know I've left it late!!:o) I need to buy it in person not online however I want the online price if possible. The cheapest I've seen it online is £140 from both Amazon and Gamestation. Does anyone know any way I can do this?

I think I might have 3 possible options.

1. Amazon and use their Free Trail One Day delivery.

2. Ebay Buy-it-Now and hope that I can collect it from the seller.

3. John Lewis Buy it in store and then reclaim the difference using their 'Never Knowingly Undersold' policy (based on the price from Gamestation).

Does anyone else know a better way than these or a store that will always match prices???? Please share with me!!!

Thanks

    Not sure about the prices in Argos but you could reserve it on line. which would give you extra time:)

    Have you looked in CEX they would be cheaper & you can check stock on line although they are preowned
  • does any one know if gamestation will allow you to put a deposit down on a games console and pay in to instalments like cash convertors do and then collect it when payed off
