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:

If anyone is looking for an item and is looking to check for stock nationwide. Use http://checkargos.com/.

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

It certainly is - see apple website - iPad 32gb €459.00

Edit: I wonder is it a glitch...
iPad Air Wi-Fi 32GB - White is €429.00 vs iPad Air Wi-Fi 32GB - Black. at €389.00....same type of iPad just the colour differs

Seems like the price was actually intended for the 16gb version

I've been keeping an eye on that... I don't think they have ever had it in stock and it seems that it isn't even being released till November. I think Argos is playing silly buggers.

There is a new ipad announced so the official pricing for the older models have been reduced. Check prices on http://store.apple.com/ie/buy-ipad/ipad-mini-2 before you buy!

Agreed! The original iPad air is reduced in bricks and mortar stores nationwide (i.e. harvey normans)....how and ever, to justify my post above.....

The iPad Air 32gb in black/space grey and white/silver are both the same price in argos UK - £359.00

But in the Irish Argos, the iPad Air 32gb in white/silver is €40 more expensive than the same spec black/space grey.....additionally, the catalogue code is exactly the same in both the UK argos and the Irish argos [139/6768 and 138/5133 respectively]...thus I would argue that buying the iPad air (original) in black/space-grey in argos is a fantastic deal....cheapest I've seen it priced by far (although is possibly incorrectly marked).....

Bottom line: go forth and purchase!

Saw this on HUKD.

Special Edition 500gb XBOX 360 - €250 You also get a €10 voucher when you spend over €100!

Comes with:
- 500gb HDD
- Built In Wifi
- 2 Digital Games (Max: The Curse Of Brotherhood and Toy Soldiers)
- 1 Month's LIVE Gold Membership
- 1 Wireless Controller
- 1 Wired Headset

I know it's old tech at this stage but with games being so cheap, this is a great deal for anyone with kids (or a big kid inside!).

As an aside, is there such a thing as joypads for small hands? The young fella is 6 and I wouldn't mind getting him a pad to suit.

My boys are 6 & 5, and have no problem using the xbox remotes, starting to get the better of me even!!

Measurements on the Argos site are.

Size H26.7, W34.3, D6.4cm.

That photo must be for a bigger model, or it is a very small child.

the link you posted says - Available in November 2014 exclusively at Walmart stores and Walmart.com, the massive Star Wars Hero Series Millennium Falcon (approximate retail price of $59.99) measures over two-feet-long, and features a rotating radar dish and moving cannon.

Text from Argos link says

''Take your Star Wars adventures to a whole new level with this incredibly detailed Millennium Falcon vehicle! The many features of this realistic, 2½-foot-long vehicle let you re-enact the most amazing scenes from the Star Wars Rebels series - and then create brand new ones!''

Those other dimensions must be incorrect.

Or could the measurements be the size of the box you get from argos with the item packed inside it?

Ya thats happened me before. It's not reserved if theres no number. Sometimes the site gives an option to reserve it but in fact this option has never been there and it is the site not updating.

That happened me only three weeks ago. I went to customer service with the email and the product number and my name and she found it reserved on her system so don't give up hope.
