I went to collect it and they changed the wording of the description. I was dealing with the manager and she walked out of the store and I was left waiting for her to come back but apparently she went on her break.
Was told by the guy who brought out the game, that they would have to honour it but then the assistant manager basically told me to **** off.
argos customer care are currently reviewing the situation.
I know that they have an 'honour' system in, where whatever it says in their magazine is the price the customer pays.
Not sure since a few mistakes have been made on the internet site that they still honour it, and probably less likely to if it's a huge difference.
Ignorant of the Manager to walk out like that ("I can't be dealing with this sh*t" attitude).
A few years ago a manager in Home store and more did that to my Aunt. When she was back in there again, the manager recognised her and asked her did she get sorted. My Aunt told the store how she neglected her duties and walked out... (in a nice way).

As cider man said, I wasn't interested in arguing but I would expect the manager to at least finish dealing with the issue before running out of the store.
She said 'I'll be back with the item in a minute and we can look at it.'
I was left standing there for a good few minutes before I went up to another staff member to find out what was going on.
I was told by him, that they would honour it but I didn't want to dob him in it.
The whole thing was compounded by a horrible lunch in a nearby restaurant. Cold food and hot coffee (too hot), which was changed to too hot food and cold coffee.
No in the middle with them!
All in all, a waste of time on my one day off.0 -

I said at the time it was obviously a typo, it's €100 for a 3DS on its own, the highest price on this bundle was previously €49. There's no mention of a 3DS console in the details. I wouldn't have wasted my time, they were never going to honour it. And if you had somehow managed to get it you'd likely have got some poor employee in a spot of trouble. God may love a chancer but Argos certainly don't.

I would've loved to have heard you all got it.
Love hearing things like that, but hate when I miss out

Honestly?
You called this one?
Sure the crows in the trees knew it was an error, and the chances were always that it wasn't going to be honoured at all, but there was always a chance it would be.
There have been situations, mainly with online orders but also with Argos items, where they have made major pricing errors and stuck to it.
The difference here is the number in the catalogue, attached to the price is not a 3DS console bundled with the game plus amiibo, it is only the game plus amiibo, and so when the staffer comes from the store room with the item it will be one 3DS short of expectations.
If it was a genuine mispriced bundle you could have expected it at the price advertised.
It was always a long shot, we have all acknowledged it was a long shot, so no one really needs "I told you so" or equivalent, not sure what you hope to gain with that sort of response to the matter tbh, it's certainly not appreciated, not be me at any rate.0 -

Shovel Knight on Wii U is £14.85 plus £3 on delivery.
http://www.shopto.net/video-games/wiiu/WIIUSH08-shovel-knight
That's €25.50 when converted. It has all the extra DLC on the disc.
It's £14.85 on Amazon too.
I was going to get it yesterday (£14) with the Gamecube adaptor (£9.99), and the Flash deal ran out of time..
