No PS3's in Dundrum, Rathmines, Rathfarnham, Nutgrove, Bray, Greystones, Wicklow or Arklow as of 8pm last night (Thursday)!! Anybody spotted one in any of the other stores? Rang a few others and they didn't even know what a PS3 was!

Got sign off from the mrs, ten minutes later bought the wii bundle in artane castle. Is there anything else I should be looking to get (hardward or games that are a must) while Tescos have the offer?

games for the wii? super mario galaxy is a must. you might want to buy an extra nunchuk controller too.

Why didn't you just pick up the clubcard in store, use the card stuck to the inside of the application form, and then send the application form in the next day?? I've never had a problem with any of my clubcard vouchers, nor has anyone I know.

I did use the clubcard in store, stuck to the application form, which is a temporary card, and then i completed the form and sent it in within a couple of weeks (mid December at the latest)....They messed up the processing, I made contact start of February to double check, was told the points had just been credited to me, but when I contacted again near end February the points still hadn't been credited, and the voucher posting deadline was well gone....no excuses given, lots of apologies, and not a chance of issuing the vouchers until the next mailing....in May...so now you know someone who has had problems with them

Went to Tesco in Coonagh in Limerick last night.
Asked the bloke stocking the games shelves how much the PS3 was and if they had any.He didnt know how much they were and if they had any left.
He said to go to the customer service desk,so off,i went
Low and behold,she didnt know what a PS3 was.
I asked if she knew about the promotion...she said she did.
I eventually explained to her what it was and she then advised she had no way of checking if she had any as she didnt have her keys....WTF.
I then told her that i came in to spend 400 euro on one and she said she couldnt be anymore help...great customer service.

gip..what 2 games was it?ratchet and unchartered?

In fairness to Tesco employees, they are a Supermarket and not all branches do electrical goods.

I've read 3 posts on boards about people having problems receiving the clubcard points. That's out of how many people who had received their points fine?
Just write a letter to Tesco HQ in Dun Laoghaire and it will get sorted out for you.
Tesco don't like or need bad "feedback".
They will sort it out for you and remember they have so many people availing of the various 25% off promotions they run, there's always one or two that will not get done correctly.
Always keep your receipt and you should never have a problem.

Anyone know if its possible to get a 360 arcade for 150 including all the reductions now
or am i off the mark?

May depend on the store. I went in to the Letterkenny branch today and the cheapest Xbox 360 console they had was €279.99 so with the 25% in vouchers was going to leave it at €209.99

Went into the Xtravision store beside Tescos and they had the same console at €199.99 but the kids opted (as they do) for the console bundle at €299.99 which included 4 games and 3 game rental vouchers.

3 of the games added up to a total of €185 and the other was some sort of quiz thingy with a couple of joypads?? or controllers - you know what I mean.

All in all a much better deal to be had in Xtravision.

Yeah jackncoke that was the two free games that came with bundle, personally think it was great deal considering price anywhere else.

Just got a wii bundle in Artane for €119, thanks for the tip. Got the wrong mario game so will have to change it.

Just to note, there was at least one bundle left.

Assume you mean 319 or I'll be driving to artane

:D:D

Right,went into 2 different tescos yesterday.
Both told me that for 400 you would only get the ps3 with no games,
469 would get you the bundle with ratchet and uncharted.
Are you sure it was only 400?

Had the very same problem in Tesco store in Wexford,when scanned at till it registered €469 but pointed out that it was advertised for €399 on display. What seemed to be the problem was that display box barcode was giving wrong price and when display box was removed, barcode on inner box gave the advertised price. Was told by another customer that I could have went after them for a refund if we had actually paid for it but to be honest was happy with the deal we got.

Hi,
Are Tescos open today and is the offer still on if they are?

The offer that Tesco refund the full price if an item is incorrectly priced is finished.

Got loads of miller on a on-line shop about four weeks ago and was overcharged and was only offered the overcharge back. When I questioned, they said the full price refund offer was no longer available because of web sites in the Uk listing these errors as a money saving tool.

I remember getting four large packs of Huggie Nappies for free on this offer about six months ago, ah well those were the days.

But would still chance asking for it.

I'd guess they would cancel the vouchers but if it works you know where we are
