Loophole: 3 games for £3.49

It says on the website that when you buy this pack of two games

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/catalogId/1500000701/partNumber/3696662/Trail/search.htm

You get another game half price, but actually when I got to Argos I was allowed to pick another game free.

So in all, I got the two games in the link above and also this game

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/catalogId/1500000701/partNumber/3699391/Trail/search.htm

For £3.49.

When I discovered the loophole I bought another three for next Christmas! Bargain!

    I went to Lisburn Argos at 8.50pm last night. It took me over an hour getting home due to all the snow!

    I don't know if it works online, but it definitely works instore. I had reserved the two pack and the staff member told me I could choose another one free. He had a list to choose from.

    Morning all,

    I'm adding items 3696662 and 3699391 but price is coming up as £6.98.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers

    I think it only works instore. When I got to the till and went to pay for the two pack of games (the elephant one in the first post) the assistant told me I could choose another game for free. He showed me the list of ones I could pick from, and I asked for the hopshot one.

    It might be worth just reserving the two pack and then asking the assistant when you get there about the free game offer.
