Odd that HN are jumping on this but nowhere else is

Im guessing places like Argos and PC World will have to do the same now, cant see how they can charge more than HN did for them. Not good business. It looks like the HP Ireland website will start selling them at this price also soon, as the german website is selling at €99.

I wouldn't go driving for miles to a HN in the hope of getting one, as I have a feeling most other places will do the same as HN over the next few days.

None in HN Castlebar

joe316 · 22-08-2011 10:57AM

I rang Carrickmines and spoke to the manager, said that all 16 were gone and only 32 were left, looks like they are all gone at this stage from there judging by posts since then.

devnull · 22-08-2011 10:57AM

HN Blanch and Swords sold out.

swingking · 22-08-2011 11:02AM

rivalius13 · 22-08-2011 11:05AM

PC world and Currys Galway have stock but don't have the discount yet and wouldn't let me reserve.

bricky06 · 22-08-2011 11:07AM

did anyone who managed to pick a 16gb up today have one reserved in argos??
if so, can i have the reservation number? if i get one (in my hands) i will provide a code for a 32gb if its wanted.

Edit: meant to say anywhere in dublin city or southside. thanks!

Rsaeire · 22-08-2011 11:08AM

Although HN appear to be sold out in Dublin and in other areas in the country, does anyone know if they sold out at €99 and €129 for the 16 GB and 32 GB respectively? While I can't imagine people buying them all at their RRP, they seem to have sold out very quickly.

ravydavygravy · 22-08-2011 11:08AM

I got one in Carrickmines about 10 mins ago, seemed to have a decent amount of stock.

They did have both the 16 gig and 32 gig version?
How much are they selling for?

Thanks

When i reserved one, they said that they only had 32 left - 129

Thats 32GB Left, not 32 pieces of stock.

If the Harvey Norman stories are true then they are way ahead of the game. All the other retailers must be sitting around twiddling their thumbs.

I got 16GB for €99. Some friends from the office have headed over to see what the story is - they'll be back in a few mins.

spiderjazz · 22-08-2011 11:17AM

Just back from Harvey Norman Cork, got a 32gb for 129. Flying out the door down there, one guy in front of me and after that there was a stream of people coming in looking for them. I'm a happy camper anyway!

Mr Bloat · 22-08-2011 11:17AM

I picked up a 32gb one for €129 in Harvey Norman, Kinsale Rd about 20mins ago. They had 16x32gb and 8x16gb left at that stage and they took 3 phone calls about it in the space of time I was there! Get them quick, they won't last long. Only one sold per customer, I don't think they are allowing reservations.

They are true. I rang HN Naas a while ago and they had a few in stock for the discounted price, dont think I can travel that far though, as im sure other stores closer to me will have them for the same price in a few days. Cant imagine they lasted long there though. Surely other stores and online sites will start discounting the price soon also.

Taltos · 22-08-2011 11:21AM

Was just told that Harvey's in Sword are the only ones left now - and only with 32G

GinjaNinja · 22-08-2011 11:22AM

swords was sold out 20 min ago of all 16 and 32. was in there myself. 2 in pcworld sowrds but they've not been given the order to reduce price

baldshin · 22-08-2011 11:24AM

Anyone tried a Currys, using their price promise? They'll beat competitors by 10%.

orourkk3 · 22-08-2011 11:24AM

Gone in Swords and Carrickmines, was on the phone to Helena from HN, they're looking at getting more stock in due to demand but I just dont see it happening! c'mon Hp Ireland!!!
