    Just got the sale e-mail...it now states absolutely everything half price or less...as has been said a good few items were NOT half price during the slots. It will be interesting to see if there is a pricing difference.

    Good luck to everyone going instore...elbows to the fore and just as someone grabs that dress you REALLY wanted...holler FIRE at the top of your lungs. Looking forward to all the tales, but not to the alarm going off.

    Think around 500-600 people in the first hour.

    I've gone back and looked at the stuff I ordered, of which none of the five items were half price, and the ones still online (four of five items) have all been reduced to half price or left. Cheeky *insert word of choice*!

    I'm gonna head to store for 5am I think. We only have a small store locally and not a big population so hoping it'll be bearable!

    On the Next Facebook site the representative on there stated that online it was most items half price or less, but in store it is all items half price or less.

    So obviously now you have to pay extra to be a VIP...bit of a kick in the teeth. If this is the way ahead I'll take my chances in-store.

    Just looked at the advert on the home page of Next.com it states ALL ITEMS, so their explanation is frankly poop. Trading standards will love this one.

    I'm sure that when I had my VIP slot that it said most items half price. Maybe it has changed for when the sale opens to everyone on Sat morning
