It seems like a strange move to have store purchase only as it is encouraging people to go to a store to wait. The demand is so high it would definitely cause a queue and could lead to some negative media coverage. HN system yesterday seemed to work well, you'd wonder why other retailers haven't adopted this method

Did Harveys restock/have an orering system yesterday?

Not sure - but Maybe Adverts.ie have taken the wrong stance on this and its only bumping up the price - scalpers are going scalp somewhere - and with no local outlet Ebay has the highest overhead - probably over 150 euros going to - Ebay (10%? guess) + paypal(?%) charges and postage.

Its terrible and all - but I'm sure there are some who would be ok paying the 650 to 700 adverts were charging to not have the stress of fighting for one and have someone stay up all hours and virtually queue for them for one.

Stating to think that alright, be just as handy to go into work and do a days overtime.

Thank you for your reservation xxxxx at Killarney Argos. We will text you again when it arrives in store.

Mine is due for collection 5th -7th but nowhere in the email does it mention a text! My email has a reservation number

I'd definitely pay €600 for one but people paying a grand for one is a bit sad.

Ya yesterday at 9am. I didn't manage to get one myself but think you had to complete a form expressing interest and a link was then sent which you followed to pay. Stops scalpers too

in fairness they seemed to do it well. you were allowed pre order and they sent you a email later with instructions on how to pay. You had 24 hours to pay or loose the pre order..

Did you put your phone number in when reserving it? A few people have rang the store and they were able to confirm if it was available or not, even if it was a day earlier. Could try that for peace of mind?

Highly unlikely but does anyone have a pre order they are not using digital / disc. It’s for my brother who is supposed to be getting it from Santa parents have asked me to try and find one.

Tesco just rang me. Said they have one for me lol

Have to admit I thought this was a spoof but I just got a call from Tesco as well to say they have one for me for collection on the 10th.

They said they've actually got new stock in, and they're going through the list of people who had their pre-orders cancelled previously - i.e. those of us who got the 30 euro voucher instead.

Hope this helps people - keep an eye out for a call from an 051 number.

I got one paid for in harvey norman yesterday, so my search is off. But I enjoyed it, so im willing to team up with one other desperate santa to help find another one at rrp.
Im based in South Dublin and can pay and collect in the Dublin area.
First to ask gets my help.

Argos letting people reserve and get them today has me sweating about getting my one tomorrow. Also would they not be able to bump people up the list who had already reserved?
