    Are they not dropping it by 50 for the christmas everywhere? You sure they didnt just do that?

    Seems a lot more likely than Argos pricing probably one of their biggest selling items over the Christmas at a wrong price unintentionally.

    Amazing since forza is out of stock everywhere

    I have to collect forza when it comes in the price is a mistake on their in store computers but the girl told me there's nothing they can do as head office set the in store computer prices fair play to them for honouring it though

    Copped the same thing myself today, the manager said a new sale starts tomorrow...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,284 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Probably Call of Duty and or something else free for the €359.99, keep an eye on hotukdeals from about 10pm onwards info of deals should start to pop up there as uk argos are better at tv advertising, then check the exchange rate.

    when will the deals stop for XB1? The console can be well under 300 euro if you trade the games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,284 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    This deal ends tonight with a new as of yet unknown deal to begin tomorrow.

    I don't need an Xbox or Playstation or whatever but I REALLY want Forza Horizon 2. Are they honestly worth the price of admission or is it worth it to wait for a better deal / or get PS4?

    Rubbish deal compared to last one, pity hopefully some better deals start popping up soo n

    That may be true, but in fairness to Argos, they're seems little else out there in terms of deals ATM.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 116 ✭✭djo789


    Forza Horizon 2. is also available on xbox360 if you have one ( similar to XB1 but not exactly the same game experience)

    The Xbox alone is 379.99 looks like the bundle I got yesterday for 359.99 was a mistake after all

    Yeah, fully sickened I didn't ask for that price, couldn't believe it when I spotted it on the computer.
    But not collecting mine till Sat so might not have worked...

    You should go in store and check if you can I'd say they would let you reserve it for that price if it's still on their computer I have to say they are very good for things like that

    Might pop in later all right to check.
    Still happy with the 409 deal as the Fifa bundle is 440 now!

    Just saw that myself have to say the deal for 409 was great as it was hopefully the mistake is still in store for you I also noticed call of duty day zero is the same price as the normal call of duty but you get a few things extra I'm informed off the kids so gonna use the €10 voucher I got yesterday to get that

    Offer is gone :(

    They have on their website the xbox with sunset overdrive and forza marked as 399.99 but when I tried adding it to my cart it came up at 420. Getting it for 400 seems like good value, if anyone's near a store it might be worth a shot (I don't to email them and ask in case they spot an error and I ruin someone else's bargain)

    Here's a link

    And a screen shot in case they correct it!

    Question lads got this deal as a gift from my brother but they didn't have forza In stock, they signed the receipt to say we are owed the game and said call back when its in stock, it will be 2 weeks tomorrow and still none of them in stock, could we call in with the receipt and maybe get another game of equal value instead?

    I'm in the same boat...:(
    Was told that a delivery was due this week, but it wasn't a certainty...

    No mention of a different game but I'd say if you spoke to the right manger you would get it.

    Nope :(
    Was point blank refused.
    Fifa and evil within only.
    No hope of hanging out for forza or a substitute game.

    Just left, will get another deal instead,

    Yeah I got onto them on twitter and they gave a date of 8th December.
    However as I didn't collect the console the first day I'm out of luck :(

    Will prob get a bundle from game UK instead now.
