    Most of the bargains here are from HUK. Many people had got this as they were awake at midnight...people who left out could have got consoles from Amazon/Argos.....

    But prices of PS4 would plummet in coming months ! Keep watching

    Prices will not plummet, once the remaining old phat ps4 stock has been sold it will be replaced by the new slim console at 299 and this will stay at 299 for a very long time.

    I was offered a spare reservation code for Argos. I was gutted when I went to collect it and there wasn't enough cash.

    Game had sent the cancellation email and after that they took the money out.

    I passed the reservation on to a lady who was behind me in the que. She was delighted. I got in touch with game and was told it will take at least 10 days to get it back :(.

    So looks like I've been done over by game twice!!

    Hard luck man but fair play to you for passing it on. Probably made some kids Christmas !!

    The money wouldn't have actually been taken by Game, just on hold with the bank. It's a total pain in the ass when it happens though, you end up without the money for a few days.

    Not so sure about that,littlewoods took the money from my account and also cancelled the order.When I checked online banking they had removed the money which stopped me from purchasing elsewhere.So frustrating that they continue to take orders and people's money when they had no intention of fulfilling the order.Never ordering online again through these companies.

    There's so much rubbish in this thread. I'm in the market for a PS4. What's the current deal and what's the availability thanks.

    Why do you say that?

    They do it for lots of hidden forums on here?

    I say that because that's not what the other post was calling for, rather for visibility of high value deals to be limited to established posters.

    I'm new to all this, is that normal or a bargain? I'm guessing normal? Would Argos and smyths be a good indicator of current prices for consoles? Thanks

    €300 is the probably the going rate, you could stall for a while usually they add specials that would include an extra game or 2

    * Complains about posters discussing a bargain alert in the BARGAIN ALERT forum

    * Asks a question which should be asked in the BARGAIN ALERT REQUESTS forum.

    Good man yourself

    I reckon a few not collected may reappear on Argos about now and after 9, some stores shut at 7, some 9, a few more may slip back into the wild...

    Thanks for this. Inspired me to recheck for a grey/blue Dualshock 4 that I wanted and one came available again! :)

    Not sure but it's the cheapest at the moment.
    It's the newer slim model too.

    Made an offer of €200 I'm sure it will be declined but it's worth a try. I don't agree with profiteering but really wanted this for Xmas so worth a try.

    No more discussion of adverts here, as annoying as it is we can't do anything about it. Adverts.ie is a separate site, this is just derailing the thread here.

    Back on topic!

    I bought mine with the extra controller the other day with a view to selling it in the sales in January to get the pro. I think you are right now though. Without the extra controller it doesn't seem worth it. The slim is fantastic though I must say. Looks great compared to older one. So much quieter too.
