Looks like its been removed altogether from Dixons and the PC world sites. Currys is showing the 32GB one available for reserve and collect but I’ve tried stores in 5 different cities and its out of stock everywhere.
Was mostly academic for me though as my Vega running Honeycomb does everything I need it to, and I suspect the OH would’ve killed me for spending even more dinero on technology!
I ordered one from Amazon at about 10 pm yesterday, 32 Gb model for £430. Have emailed them this morning to ask about the possibility of refunding the difference, otherwise it’ll just go straight back. Worth a go, and with Amazon I have no fears about them not taking it back and refunding – I’ll not even open the box until I know what they’ll charge me for it.
Unfortunately we may have a problem with progressing your order within the timescale indicated on our website. We will contact you shortly to discuss the matter with you, but in the meantime please accept our apologies for the potential delay.
Followed by another one ………….
We are now preparing your Currys order for delivery.
I checked one of our distributors last night to see if they had cheap stock and they had over 1000 but all at full price. Today, no stock at all. Not even listed on the website.
Argos aren’t saying if/when they’ll reduce the price… and they reckon if I buy one and the price does drop, they won’t refund the difference (and they reckon 30-day return guarantee wouldn’t apply either??), but you’d have to protected by distance selling regs wouldn’t you?
Psychle – I had this arguement with a colleague this morning, Argos have said they won’t accept returns unless faulty and won’t necessarily go with the price drop. I think this is why HP said that some places would do a full refund if you’ve just bopugh and other places would do a partial refund of the difference.
Psykie – the listing on Argos doesn’t say it is excluded from their 30 day policy and as you say, distance selling rules also apply. If you look on the Argos site it is quite clear that they would have to honour refunds.
