I'm guessing he's making the valid point that when discussing phones, to 99.9% of people the term S6 means one specific device, and 6S means a different very specific device.

I see the nexus 9 is down to 209.99. I have a old 2012 nexus 7. Worth the update?

Half a dozen around limerick. Reserved one a while ago.

Great price if you can get one. Very solid tablet - minor light bleed when the screen is black, but other than that it's great piece of kit.

RossieMan · 17-11-2015 12:17pm

Anyone able to confirm if its a 2014 model or the slightly different 2015? I'd jump on it if its the newer model which sorted out the issues.

I reserved one for myself, as I need a phone and I'm currently between getting a OnePlus 2 and a Nexus 6P (one is cheap, one is pricey) and now this - however, I see that you can get the 32GB on Amazon normally for around the same price.

Light bleed on both either way I'm afraid.

Great deal, Cex will buy all the games for €124, means a ps4 for €200

RossieMan · 17-11-2015 3:04pm

HTC on the box doesn't mean its the new version. There is a htc4xxxxx and a htc5xxxxx version. 4 being made in 2014 and 5 2015. The 2014 version has a few bits wrong with it.

Anything major to worry about. Picked up 2 for the kids for Christmas. It will only be light use browsing watching utube...

It's the 2014 "HT4" model that they are selling.

RossieMan · 17-11-2015 3:20pm

The htc4 models had some screen bleed issues, and the buttons weren't very protruding and made them hard to press. The htc4a models specially, the htc4b are much better. Think I'll hold on till next week, something may come up.

Htc4b is the model number on the tablets. I picked up today. Thanks for the info.

It's not great tbh, as you said light bleed is an issue not a big one but noticeable.
The buttons are indeed hard to press.
My main issue is I get several random reboots a week, it's not app related.

On a positive note I find it's form factor/size spot on, I also have a Z2 tablet and Z3 tablet and the 9 is the perfect mix between the two, if only it was built as well.
The switch back to the 4:3 ratio wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
My Z2 is out for repair at the moment but once it's back I'm going to see if HTC or Google (not sure who covers the warranty) can fix the reboots.

RossieMan · 17-11-2015 3:39pm

Not a bother, I hate companies who put on a sale to shift old stock. The b model should be fine and have the better buttons, light bleed greatly reduced too.

Boards is great for getting all types of information, good and bad.

Well its 320 with 2 games. Then add Fallout 4 for 14, and there's a second offer of free Uncharted collection too. It does seem the best deal I've seen too, if there's any stock anywhere and if they let you combine the two offers.

So here is how I got it:

Reserved the bundle and Fallout 4 separately. Had no interest in buying Uncharted.

Went to the till and gave her the reservation for console and told her I have another code for the game. She insisted I take the uncharted as its free with it. I took that and she gave me a 10e voucher.

She asked me to go to the customer services to get Fallout 4 for 14 as her system did not show that offer, which I did and used up my 10e voucher and paid 4e for it.

Total Paid: 324€

Basically I managed to get 2 offers instead of just one and it was a mistake on their behalf as the customer service rep never asked me if I got the other offer, she just looked up and checked if the offer was there and gave to me for 14.

The original rep thought it was part of one offer and not two and she never bothered to check. The CS rep never bothered to check if I got the uncharted offer.

Would these not show pretty easy on Argos Scanner?

but if there is a price error like the Samsung S6 (if I remember correctly only showed up at the til) then those alerts would only be by word of mouth, or forum i would imagine.
