    Went for it.
    Was always curious about the performance boost. Stone cold misprice though.

    Obvious misprice but its a company with a turnover of over 5 billion dollars a year so theres a good chance it will be missed or honoured.

    Actually looking now it says items on order so they don't have stock, unlikely this will be missed.

    What do you make of the reviews though?

    Is it worth the hassle, which might even end with you getting nothing

    Had to pay the £11.57 shipping though, so total of £56.56. So that's €67 shipped. Still a bargain :)

    I used Parcel Motel - I shipped to their Northern Irish address.

    The money went straight out of my account too - if it's a misprice and they decide to refund I hope it doesn't take too long, the reviews posted earlier don't exactly instill confidence in their costumer service.

    the personal accounts won't ship to Ireland is that right?

    yeah the reviews are bad

    In fairness that's only 12 reviews. They're a corporate provision operation. I ordered myself, if the order goes through without a price error then it will be a fantastic bargain but I suspect the 100 part is missing of the price.

    True, but look at the deal on hotukdeals, negative, and the same for all insight deals. By all means go for it, gl !

    I went for it, it would be fantastic, but it's most likely not going to happen. Worth a punt sure.

    It's already there on HUKD and apparently they have done this before with silly prices on 3TB HDDs and cancelled shortly after! Ah well luckily it's only on the credit card so no money actually spent just have to wait for a refund!

    Was posted there already but voted cold because nobody wanted to deal with Insight. Nothing ventured nothing gained I say. A small number of orders may slip through the net before they realise the mistake so I'm glad it was voted cold.

    yep, it's gone. be interesting to see if any got dispatched before the misprice was noticed.

    the 128gb one is still there for £115, so it was definitely a very big misprice. :)

    Looks like my order got cancelled a few minutes ago. When I try to go in to orders it says "No Orders Found". Didn't get any cancellation emails yet though.

    Order still there but they're probably going through deleting them manually.

    Anyone get a refund ?

    EDIT: Order cancelled

    Seems like NEXT dirty trick from Online Marketing Department. It was HP few days ago with £40 voucher now Insight UK got a big customer database FOR FREE. "Well done, few quids saved, now send them some spam boys!!"

    I wonder if that's coincidence that it always happen during the weekend? It gives people lot of time to inform each other, do pre-buy check, to purchase that bargain, and even discuss it a little after. It saves all worries to delivery department because Monday morning they are all cancelled. Strange...
