Argos Chat Thread #1

Mr.Crinklewood

Seems most weeks we have a bargain or two from Argos, thought it might be an idea to have a dedicated forum like the one for Tesco:-

Sound Asleep Pillow - was € 39.99 - now € 11.99

Morphy Richards Fastbake Breadmaker - was €159.99 - now €79.99.

PAC-MAN Remote Controlled Man and Ghost Racers - was € 39.19 - now €19.59

Mod Edit:

Mod note please read post 352 - here

I know this is 'chat' thread but can we keep it strictly to the items posted in the Argos thread for everyone's benefit.

Thanks

Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure DS Game for 10.99

Only mentioning this, not for the game, but for the fact that it comes with an apparently half decent Bluetooth keyboard that can be used to connect to anything with Bluetooth like consoles or tablets.

Plenty in stock.

Limited stock but available in a lot of stores atm

My Nexus 7 (2012) isn't picking up the Bluetooth on this, unfortunately.

Hold the function (fn) button as you switch on the keyboard and it should make the keyboard's bluetooth visible.

Ordered two pokemon keyboard things for Blanchardstown and just got a text that they're in so they must be topping up stock

I had to follow the Fn+Power process several times on my LG G Pad 8.3 to get it to register. I think I kept the Fn button pressed for 5-10 seconds after turning on the keyboard until it showed up on the tablet.

Cheers folks. Will have another crack at it when I get home this evening.

EDIT: That did the trick - (Fn + power on) Much obliged.

Unless you have a higher end Samsung TV with built-in bluetooth (LED ES6500 and above, PDP E550 and above), this is unlikely to work without some form of compatible USB bluetooth dongle. Better to buy a keyboard that you know is compatible.

Can confirm keyboard works OK with an E6500 series TV. As Krusty_Clown says this model has built in bluetooth, though.

I'd noticed that too. I figured it mostly means reductions on a lot of things at the weekend rather than price rises.

This is on every article on the Argos website and relates to the expiry date of the current catalogue. If previous switches are a guide, the Argos website will go down around 11am on Friday night while the new dataset is loaded. Once it comes back up around 8am on Saturday morning every item will have a new price valid date to (most likely) 23 January 2015; that being six months from tomorrow.

If there is something that you have your eye on in the current catalogue, reserve it just in case the product is deleted from the new one. If the item was for sale at close of business on Friday evening, it is still going to be in the stockroom on Saturday morning and they should sell it!!

I did this last January for an iPad Air. It went up €30 overnight with the new catalogue (and €30 over rrp!!). I had reserved it and argued the toss with the manager who relented quite quickly and sold it to me at the previous catalogue price.
