    In the uk people who reserved dyson 35's were given dyson 44's presumably as dyson 35 were out of stock. I'm not asking for special treatment, I'm asking for similar.

    They are under no obligation to give you anything , theres no contract or anything close to one. They don't have it. If you want a dyson 44 can't reserve you one of those and pay for that. :confused:

    Picked up the Asus earlier in Stephen's green @ 59.99. No issue whatsoever. Probably wasn't the first today tho which helps. Came With a 10EUR voucher. Excellent service all round. Used the 10 off the kindle fire at 129 which gave a further 20 in vouchers. Some presents sorted.

    In all fairneess, I think Argos have been right up there this year. Some fantastic deals, and seldom any unhappy punters once they brought the reservation details. They have gained a fan here, for sure.

    If I had got an Asus tab, I'd have taken a picture of it with my new Nikon D3200 and posted it here as proof :D

    Anyone here know what the story with the argos PS4 E399 bundle is, no where in Ireland has the last of us to complete the bundle deal.

    I have all the other things necessary reserved until friday, anyone any idea when they will restock it.

    Its pretty dumb if you ask me, there last deal was ps4 and the last of us for E379, that sold out and now they bring on a new deal and add in a item thats sold out...wtf?

    Is there a new ps4 coming out soon? Different size hard drive or something like that? would explain why they seem to be letting their stocks go down so low.

    I think there is some kind of contract. It happened to me and when I phoned the helpline I got an apology and then was put in a queue but hung up after 5 mins as I didn't want to pay phone bill to UK.

    Could be but they'd probably announce it at E3 first which isn't until next Summer. But they're also having an event this weekend so could also announce that there

    Agreed. How dumb is this. How are Argos able to advertise a bundle that is valid only with all participating items being available, but one of the items is sold out entirely throughout the country????

    I'm sure if you went into the store they would override and give a different game

    How did you get this? Might be an ideal present for me to buy to donate to SVP coz was thinking of making a donation of about €40 in gifts but could go the extra bit and make some child's Christmas amazing.

    I was one of the sods that was working when it went live so I missed it. Plenty of boardsies secured the deal and there were codes floating around right up till today. I've been asking on the Argos Reservation Codes thread here. No joy unfortunately :(

    what time are the argos reductions applied to stock?

    I presume it is early as when I go to stock checker the item I was watching was long gone

    It can be very hit and miss. I've seen stuff go "reduced" and there was not a single item in the country. You really need to be keeping a close eye on this forum for your best chance.

    All this goodwill costs Argos relatively nothing but I for one won't forget it.

    I just got a text saying I have a reservation for an Asus Memo Pad in Waterford that needs to be collected by 8pm this evening.

    Who wants it?

    Note: I have no email showing the price. Just a text message with a reservation code.

    I had reserved it on 'Black Friday' for when 1 came into stock. So anyone interested would just have to chance it and tell the store employee that they had it reserved for the lower price of €59.99 and hope for the best.

    Hi MiskyBoyy

    Is this by any chance still available? I really wanted one of those on Black Friday but had no luck, would really like the code if still possible?

    Please PM me if you have it :-)

    Thanks

    That Thomas set is way overpriced in fairness, and the same one is actually £29 on Amazon, the one you liked to is the "awesome" one, whatever the hell that is. RE, the Argos one, it also says the previous price of this item was €16.99
