Will Argos pricematch?

I have my eyes on a rather nice Sony Mini DV camcorder.

Problem

Amazon = £291.99

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0007NLHAW/qid%3D1128705819/026-7394578-0175640

Argos = £329.89

So will Argos pricematch or am I out of luck? I like buying items such as these on the high street as they are a lot easier to exchange/refund if they are faulty!

    What about this from comet or i was able to get jessops to price match an internet price on a sony camera so they might price match if you print of the amazon and the comet one.

    Also go via r points for cashback and online discount board for a 5% discount i think;)
    The more i save the more i can spend:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    hi johntea, i bought a slowcooker from argos last week, had seen it cheaper somewhere else but they told me they did'nt price match. bought it from argos tho because it was more convenient.

    Personally I would try Jessops they are always good at price match. I have found it cheapest at http://www.sselectricals.com/model.php?ID=1798%20%20%20%20 for £278.79

    If you decide to go with Amazon, then they do pay for your returns if the problem is within warranty. Youve got to weigh that up against paying the extra at Argos and standing in that damm queue.

    I would go with Comet and use the instore for returns etc.
