    Just a heads up, and I'm not sure if it's just the one item or not, but something which appeared to have no stock in any store online actually had stock in multiple stores when I checked in store.

    Happens regularly- they take it off the computer so it can't be ordered. We've noted here (in this thread) numerous times. At Christmas we all went nuts over a very cut-price set of drawers that they did this on (before that there was a camera- and even sodastream gas refills last autumn). Think of those Macbook Airs too? It recurs. Its just the way they pull things from sale that might have the wrong price- or that they don't want to sell (for whatever reason).

    Ah I didn't know that. This wasn't a sale item or miss priced though so they might be pulling it for another reason.

    plenty of stock around, perfect for the summer holidays on the continent

    currys have the same version with the uk and roi maps for 100 but you have to pay for the upgrade maps

    *Please don't turn into apple bashing off-topicness!*

    1349 in Argos and the same machine is 1499 direct from Apple. It'd be great if the 256gb version was for sale in Argos at a similar discount but alas...

    playstation plus 365days was 47.99 now down to 14.99 well worth it, in store only cant be reserved online .


    Thank you. I managed to get two of these, one has worked perfectly and the other is a gift, great bargain.

    My pal just grabbed the last three in the Cavan store.
    He managed to reserve the last five in the Monaghan store while he was there too!

    That's just greed. I had one reserved and didn't get in for it last night. Was in there at 11.29 this morning after store opened at 11 to be told all three were gone.

    How is it greed? He's distributing them out among all his friends fair and square.
    Fair play to him, I got one off him for 15 quid.

    You didn't say that in your first post. Fair play to him for having 7 friends who need PSN subscriptions that he is driving round the country for.

    I saw three in stock in Cavan on Friday evening. Reserved one for myself and didn't get in for it yesterday.

    you had 2 chances to get that. you could have got in last night but didnt. you could have got in at 11 but didnt.
    its not greed. its the same if non boardsies get something, these deals arent solely reserved for boardsies. if its sold out when you got there then its no ones fault but your own.

    I didn't feel the need to fully explain it in the first place. I didn't expect a case of sour grapes tbh.
    As the wise poster above pointed out. You missed your chance because you didn't walk into the store like my friend did.
    If you read the link it says you couldn't reserve online anyway!

    They can't be reserved online pal, you have to actually walk into the store. You can reserve in another store from there though if you can find some in stock. There might be some in Drogheda.

    I saw three in stock Friday evening and reserved one. I wouldn't agree with taking all three which is why I didn't reserve all three.

    Yes, I did miss my chance but my own personal opinion is that I don't agree with someone driving round the country picking them all up so nobody else gets the bargain.
