    i have just spoken to customer services about honouring prices on the internet (i didn`t mention the tv) but they asked if i was enquiring about the tv and said they wouldn`t be honouring this price and all orders would be charged at full price!!!!!!!

    so i have just cancelled my order as i can`t afford to be charged full price even if i send it back...
    SO BEWARE THEY WILL NOT HONOUR THIS PRICE

    Hi

    I've got a order acknowledgement - fingers crossed!
    I would if I could but I can't so I won't!

    By now hundreds and hundreds will have already been ordered. If it takes 21 days, the order quantity would be ridiculous. Can you imagine Bush getting an automated order through for 10'000 units? A quick call to the Argos buyer, "sorry we cant provide 10'000 TV's".. and its all over..
    But it would never even reach that point as this will be flagged within the day by Argos.

    Less chance of this than the dell projector fiasco.. and that was a definite no-go
    Be nice

    WOW! Great value deal
    Taken my PDF of the screen ready for the argument - they said it was a great value deal and it is! How can it be a misprice?

    If payment has been taken, doesn't that actually form the contact regardless of what the site says ?
