I think so mate I'm not up on my cameras. The guy called it an SLR he said it was the top of the range one, it looked like a professional piece of kit as opposed to the normal snap takers

EDIT just googled it this is the one > http://www.squidoo.com/NikonD3000DigiCam

I ask because I had to pay 369.99 as opposed to 399.99 as you say so I'm not sure if I should be going back to request my discount or if that's right. I was initially pretty happy with the deal but if that's the case I might consider returning it for a refund.

Fair play to you. I hope you got yourself a nice bargain after that.

just a heads up for anyone wanting to get somthing that has a limit of like 10, they did this in galway a bout a year ago on the first night people were queuing from about 1 in the morning then the next day people were quewing from about 9 at night ( i got there at 10 o clock and got the fourth out of the five 42 inch tvs they were selling) and the following day peopel were queuing from 5 in the afternoon. also if you are planning on doing this bring a fold up chair a ipod and somthing to eat or drink, also helps if you can convince someone to wait with you or else it gets boring, and i didnt read all of the first post but when i did it it was only one item per person. hope this helps

Will this be happening in Cork soon then??....

Currys PC World: Declan · 05-09-2010 07:10AM

Yes, as soon as we get the new store built and open

BArra · 05-09-2010 12:24PM

where is this new currys store in cork going to be?

Currys PC World: Declan · 05-09-2010 05:23PM

There's no change in location, still Mahon Point. We'll be doing as we have done in Blanchardstown and Airside, which is putting both stores under one roof. the format and layout will be much more modern.

It's worthwhile adding that we're very keen to get a store like PC World Jervis St into the city centre

Cheers Declan, made a bit of a journey today to see the place and pick up the western digital mini media player. All the staff really nice and place looks great. An amazing setup of the tv's. Kid in a candy store

Got the 22 inch samsung myself. The 32 was gone pretty much by the first 20 people in the queue who had been there since 8pm the previous evening. :eek:
Laptop was the next to go by anyone after.

The whole thing was done very well by staff. Simple as, they came in early, handed out a piece of paper to the first 80 or so odd in the queue and that was your order position. Store opened at 8 but they came out at 7 and took everyone's order via ipad. Emailed into the back and another chap came out with a small receipt which you simply took to the cash register and your item was given to you.
They let us in to use the toilets at around 6ish and came out with free coffee / tea at 6.30. Very well organised so well done to the staff there.

companies that run sales that entice people to queue for a long time prior to opening - should read the above reply. It certainly does sound like the proper and correct way to run it, a big well done from someone who has queued for hours previously -elsewhere- only to see a clusterfúck at opening time.

Just wanted to let people know if you cant wait on the delivery from Argos, DID are selling the same TV for €678.99.They are doing a 200% price difference at the minute so once you can bring proof of Argos selling it at €529.00, DID electrical can beat the price and do it for €519.99 OR you can get the difference €159*200% = €318.00 as a credit note(after paying the DID price of €678.99). We went for the 2nd option today and picked up the 46inch TV + nice black stand + a credit note of (€200).

Hi,

I've been on to DID about this. They are awaiting stock but when I asked about the "Double the Difference" offer, they say they need a current, printed quotation from an Argos store, i.e. not the website, showing the price?

Is this what you did?

The Lone Ranger · 07-09-2010 11:23AM

declan,
any deals left over from the weekend? i had to work so was not able to pop in.

Currys PC World: Declan · 07-09-2010 02:39PM

Sorry, I'm afraid there was serious queueing to snap up the mad deals. That's not to say we don't have good deals anyway, but nothing as bonkers as the limited offers in the leaflet.
