Slim PS2 + £32.60 in Boots points for £104.99

In addition to the iPod bargains to be had at Boots with triple points and a free 2000 extra points code (TTXG98 )...

Boots also sell the new slimline Playstation 2 for £104.99. On the surface, this may not seem to be the cheapest price available. However, read on...

Using the 2000 extra free points code (TTXG98 ) and availing yourself of triple points (on offer until Sunday 14/11/2004) you can obtain a total of 3260 advantage card points against this purchase. This is worth £32.60 towards future Boots purchases, reducing the effective cost to an amazingly cheap £72.39.

Something tells me that stock of these items will be very short lived!

Stock levels as of 10pm yesterday (10/11/04) were124 units - they now have less than 90 left.

    Almost goes without saying too that going via one of the Cashback sites gives another 2.25% cashback reducing the nett cost further :)

    In fact its 2.5% at rpoints - https://www.rpoints.com/go
  • I just added one to the basket, and it says this :D

    Basket summary
    Contains: 1 item
    Total: £94.49


    No idea why, but at the checkout it said "Discounts - 10.50".

    Many thanks... (and just stuck my silver ps2 on ebay heheh)

    Ordered mine, but I don't have an advantage card.

    Called the Boots 0845 number, and got a card registered straight away.

    Put the order in, and got 3400 points which takes the price down to around the low sixties!

    Nice one!

    Ordered mine, 3259 advantage points.

    That was the easy part. Now I've got to convince she-who-must-be-obeyed that we *need* it :D
    How do I add a signature?
  • I have just found this forum and am i glad I did

    Or are you only allowed to use the code once?

    Boots are deducting a straight 10% discount when added to basket - put in the 10% code of HFDM48 and you get another 10% off.

    Make sure you dont have a space on the end of the code - I feel for that one too. Cut n paste traumas.

    Can only have 1 code at a time by the looks of it.
    With the 10% off it brings the total to £71.40 (taking into account points, but not rpoints)

    With the triple points voucher, it brings it to £61.90 (again not taking into account rpoints).

    Or, atleast, those were the figures I got....
