check the online price and if you do a reserve and collect they will match it instore, sometimes the online price is cheaper- I was told. Also they will pricematch Amazon and up to 10 others(don't know what they are).
This saved us £100 tonight re TOSHIBA SATELITE P200-1FC 899 down to 799

I know regular mse'ers will know this but if it even saves one person a wad, isn't it worth it?

    From the Price Match page of PC World website:
    "If you find a lower price for the same product and offer, we'll reduce our price by 110% of the difference – even up to 7 days after purchase.

    This applies to prices offered by retailers within 30 miles of your local PC World store and the UK websites* listed below. The competitor must have the item in stock and website* prices must include delivery. Single unit purchases only.

    To take advantage of our price promise, please telephone our sales team on 0844 561 0000 clearly stating the following details:

    1. Your name and delivery postcode
    2. The product, price and our product code you are interested in purchasing
    3. The name of the Internet site or store offering a better price

    Once the price is verified we can process your order immediately over the telephone.

    * Websites: items sold by Amazon.co.uk, Argos, Asda, B&Q, Comet, Dabs, Dell, Evesham Technology, Game, Gamestation, Halfords, HMV, Jessops, John Lewis, Maplin, Misco, Play, Staples, Tesco, Toys r Us, Virgin, Woolworths"

    Many on Hot UK Deals report they have got Price Match 110% instore, not needing to Reserve & Collect.
