  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,964 ✭✭✭Hmm_Messiah


    lastnight as far as I can see

    why not ring and reserve?

    @ Hmm Mesiah.

    I was a bit cheeky and took a run up to Argos in Stephens Green during workhours (about an hour ago). I got myself a Creative Zen Nano Plus.. reduced from 180 euro to 90 euro.. im delighted i got that and im sure my brother will be when he gets it for his 21st tomorrow.... thanks again for the info on it.. really appreciate it.

    Are all their MP3 players half price?
    I've tried ringing but can't get through. Too busy to head all the way out to the shop unless I definitely know I'll be getting the player.
    I'm looking for either
    Zen Sleek 20gb
    Zen Micro 6gb
    Zen Micro Photo 8gb
    iRiver H10 5gb

    @Nala... only some of the MP3 players are half price.. others have some money off them.. I was only looking for one that had a radio also... if you go into Argos there is a leaflet showing all the MP3's on offer...

    I don't really have time to go in, would take half an hour each way and I'm pretty stuck for time. They won't answer their phones!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,626 ✭✭✭davehey79


    any one have the leaflet showing the reductions. any chance of scanning it in and posting up here


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,797 ✭✭✭sweetie


    Called upto Stephens Green to get the iriver and they have sold out.
    Not able to ring and reserve either. Seem to be gone all over town really.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,959 ✭✭✭Nala




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 79 ✭✭cygnet


    Why not try www.argos.ie and reserve there !!!!!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,797 ✭✭✭sweetie


    Argos.co.uk doesn't sell to Ireland and argos.ie doesn't sell mp3 players yet!
    Useless!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 214 ✭✭gokgok


    What models do they have and how much are they?

    Could someone please tell me as i'm thiinking of going into stephen's green later.

    thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,144 ✭✭✭mollser


    can't get through on that number - does anyone know are there any irivers left anywhere???? :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,144 ✭✭✭mollser


    yah, it seems to be sold out everywhere. Curiously though, it says the price is €147, and then asks if you'd like to order it for delivery between 7-10 December. Wonder would you get it for that price if you ordered it??

    Actually, me thinks this might be a permanent price drop.... Sometimes when electronics goods have specials like that the price often comes down within a month or so to that price.... just a hunch....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,797 ✭✭✭sweetie


    They were sold out in a all the places I tried in Dublin and also would
    not let me place it on order or reserve it. Don't think they will be that
    price for long but the likes of pixmania have them for a little over 200 euro.

    AFAIK the price is until the 7th

    There has been a few items on there brochures that I've found impossle to locate

    I wonder if a little misleading advertising is going on, like they have 2 in whole of Eire, often the best offers are "out of stock" on the UK site

    possibly but on the otherhand it could just be they're not stocking that model anymore as it didn't sell or is being replaced

    H10 pure? :eek: Never heard of them. Every H10 has MP3 tuner and recorder. Unless this is a new thingy that I missed out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,010 ✭✭✭besty


    how much are the h10's going for?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 104 ✭✭jmadoyle


    hmm messiah thanks for the tip off,
    picked up the creative 1gb nano plus yesterday half price
    in liffey valley, all sold out now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,556 ✭✭✭Slunk

    You obviously missed out

    So does anyone know is the Argos H10 the Pure model or not the catalogue makes no mention of an FM tuner but it does not say it is the Pure either

    Something tells me it's the Pure model but then again I doubt the would've been selling it for such a high price of €299.

    Also they have the Iriver in stock in the Wexford Branch if that's any use to anyone.

    Store code: 826

    If I get mine tomorrow I'll post back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,080 ✭✭✭✭Tusky

    try the ring and reserve at all the stores, I had to try for a while before any came available, but ended up getting them in stephen's green, one minute there were none to reserve and the next there was.

    word of warning though, a friend reserved one in jervis st and when got to the store on saturday they didn't actually have them, said they had a 'stock issue'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37 Kane


    I got one in Dundrum on Friday (last one in stock). It is the H10 Pure version.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 900 ✭✭✭cosgrove80


    Picked up mine from Argos earlier today.

    Mine isn't the Pure version as it has an FM radio on it. Sold out now though.

    Cheers to the OP for the post.

    I believe H10 5GB Pure now is a stripped down version of its sibilings ie. no FM radio. Checked that on iRiver europe website. Therefore, FM radio is only available on 6GB and 20GB versions.

    I have H10 5GB with FM radio which is definitely an older version when they first introduce H10 in the market. Well, without FM radio, Argos's price still unbelievably cheap. Bought mine in March 2005 for €280 from Peats in Parnell St.

    Well hv to accept the facts; wear and tear, new models in the market and mine is with FM radio...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,074 ✭✭✭rgiller


    Tried in the Cork branch yesterday but they didn't have any in silver or grey. Said there were none coming in on order either.

    Ye i went up to the cashier and they said they wouldent let me reserve it because they had absolutly no idea when it would be in stock again and it said wednesday on mine aswel.this was in navan by the way.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 68 ✭✭moynihan


    I managed to get one today, but it was a bit of trouble. Went into Dundrum last night to try and get one, they didnt have any and didnt know when they'd be in stock, but the girl at the counter told me she could reserve me one in the ilac. Went in today and grabbed it. It's a gift so I haven't used it that much but its really pretty and I'd highly recommend one.

    Anyone have the catalogue code handy for the creative zen nano? Ive lost where I wrote it down.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 506 ✭✭✭munzab


    check argos.co.uk. codes are the same for both ireland and uk


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,959 ✭✭✭Nala


    I was gonna get the iRiver H10 but went to Dixons and got the Rio Carbon 6gb instead... the power adapter was faulty and then the player itself died after about 5 minutes.

    :mad:
