Anyone with the Indo ad in front of them able to clarify this?

Is the LG 42" Plasma this one (42PG1000), or this (42PG3000)?

Checked model numbers today.

I picked up the Tesco sale booklet thing earlier and the offers do seem genuine. I'd advice anyone who is going to go tomorrow to bring the indo ad or the sale booklet thing incase there are any pricing sheenanigans going afoot-You can then pull it out:pac::pac: and demand it at the advertised price.

Not sure has this been posted already but-

Sony 32"LCD- €499 (save 149.40 tomorrow)
Philips 20"LCD crystal clear - €299 (save €89.70 tomorrow)
Philips 26"LCD crystal clear - €449 (save €134.70 tomorrow)
LG 42" HD Digital Plasma TV - €699 (save €209.70 tomorrow)
Goodmans 37" LCD HD TV - €795 (save €238.50 tomorrow)

No model numbers on booklet.

Just says offer excludes mobile phones, computers and computer accessories, No mention of consoles.

Tesco Wilton and Mahon point open tomorrow for fellow corkonians.

I'm confused. Does that mean the 32" sony will be only 350e tomorrow??

Sorry if I wasn't clear! You will get the €150ish back in your next clubcard mailing! So in essence yes, it will be €350 tomorrow.

I've just been over to Clarehall to have a gander.

The Sony 32 inch is the KDL32L4000, not a KDL32U4000.
They have the price sticker removed from it, so I can't see it's current price.
I asked staff who was loitering around how much it was, and he said "Well tomorrow it'll be about 340 something.. but there are loads of people coming around for them at 10am". I asked "for the Sony in particular?".. "yes". I asked how many they had, and he said "only a few".


I'm not going to bother.. godspeed to those who head down there, let us know how you get on.

By the way, they have loads of Phillips 26 inchers, saw a pallet of at least 15.
They also have loads of the LG 42 inch ones at 699. PG3000 model.

edit: speakin of which (bit off topic, sorry) where would the closest big shopping centre/district up north be to dublin and how long would it take to get there by train or car? the fantastic exchange rate has me diein to get some bargains!

Wrong thread tbh

Newry, the Quays in the city centre or B&Q, PC World, MFI & Currys plus one or two others in a retail park on the outskirts, not sure what it's called.

Better bargains further North, and less traffic. And wait a week.

Zonda999

So the sony 32" will be 350e cash. That is a bargain if its the 32u4000 but not so much of a bargain if its the 32L4000.

Anyone know for sure how much the sat4free HD set top boxes(Incl installation) will be tomorrow??

mad_for_it

they should be as it would fall under the tv sections like dvd players would be included?
are the sat4free boxes any good

Tesco Wilton in Cork is definitely the KDL32U4000 so it seems there are different models in each store.

whatsupdoc?

As Dundrum is 24 hour, that offer should be available from 12.01am NYD there should it not?

No.
All stores close tonight as it's new years. They open at 10am.

Cheers.

lindtee

Good luck to everyone going for one of these offers in the morning(me thinks you'll need it somehow, if there's any left after staff take their pick of the best!!)

It will be interesting to hear if anyone gets a decent bargain. Might head out after the madness to get a new toaster!

ShaneU

Does this include games or is it just consoles?

wmpdd3

Not games, only consoles.

Also it includes health and beauty electricals, toothbrushes, hair dryers, shavers, straighteners etc.

aaronm13

Just back from Clearwater and they had no sat navs at all:mad:Tv's seemed to be flying off the shelves so cant see them lasting much longer.Also Ipods were going fast.Consoles are included as people were buying PS3's.

I got 20% off gamin sat nav in 02 shop for my pal for Christmas,sale offer til the 4th i think:)

Redisle

What a load of crap, I was queueing in Tesco Wilton at 9.30.. by 10 there was more than 50 ppl there easily, We all rushed in when it opened..
Of course it was only crappy tv's there, absolutely no sign of the bravia's and it was clear the staff had taken them.. They were there yesterday yet today there is no sign of them, no tags on any shelfs relating to them and the staff all spewing the same crap about them being sold out.. Even though there was none at all on the shelves today!

A load of people were rushing to buy those crappy LG Plasmas for 490 but at a resolution of 1024x768 they are pretty useless.. they had a load of them in stock though.

So anyway after the Wilton disappointment I went down to Mahon Point.. No sign of Bravia's on the shelfs or anywhere..
Next thing I see a man coming out of nowhere with a bravia and with 2 staff members.. I asked the staff member if there were any left but of course that was "the last one".. I hung out near the till and saw that the guy only payed 290something.. It was one of the self checkouts and a tesco staff member pressed a good few buttons before he paid so my guess is he was given a staff discount on top of the 30%.. These bravia's were not on display so thats more proof they were all taken by staff or reserved by staff for other people..

the groutch

halfords have some really good offers on sat navs too, Tom Tom One Europe was €99 I think

lindtee

Its a well known fact that the staff reserve the best items for themselves! (well there has to be some benefits to working there!) Sorry to hear you had a wasted journey redisle. The worst thing is that in the North, the tv would be probably less than that on a normal day. I'm def thinking of heading up there next month to buy some stuff. Brother(jayteecork) suggested we hire a van and stock up for family and friends while we are at it. If we weren't so far away I'd be going up on a regular basis.
Couldn't even be bothered heading out later to have a gander for a toaster-its a pity that these Tesco sales turn out like this for most of us normal folk. Off to the north with me, to buy my electricals!!

I'm in the same boat. I headed to the Tesco sales twice for electronics. If you're not first in the door it's not worth it. They had cheap booze for sale before Christmas. Went on sale at 11AM. I went up during lunch to admire an empty pallet. I think they brought pallets out intermittantly after that but who could really be bothered to try and chase that elusive tenner off. I just bought it in a closer supermarket. It was probably worth more to me in time I didn't waste.

Think it is time for a formal complaint to Tesco about the staff robbing the offers from the public, bet it fall on deaf ears though.

As a matter of interest if one had been lucky enough to grab a ps3 with this offer what price would it have come to?

I got it for €280 with little big planet.

maxwell smart

Was at Clearwater, total bedlam. Q'd from 9am, at 9:54 saw a guy coming out of side enterance with 2 Bravia's in his trolley, store did not open till 10!! Spoke to the guy in the electrical department, he said they should not have advertised the Bravia as they had very few of them. Obviously the staff got them...
I'll be ringing head office on Monday. and following it up with a letter to Tony Keohane, their CEO.

As an aside, I saw a better Bravia in Sainsburys in Newry for £350. They had plenty of them. I am seriously thinking of doing my shopping up their on a full time basis. Tesco are not loosing money when selling it at €350ish......Shows how much they are ripping us off

Anybody been to Dundrum? Any PS3's left??

I got the 80gb Motorstorm pack, also got Tiger Woods 09, total was 314.98, (PS3 was 280).A bit of a bargain as TW09 was also reduced..


Thanks to the OP for the heads up.;)

Tesco's in Maynooth had some Bravia's left before 11 but none now, people were buying three TV's, never seen so many trolleys full of telly's!!

That they are, but that is a piss take. Lets do a deal for customers, but you actually cant get any of them. Years ago when i worked for one of the electrical retailers, they had their own deals but we wernt allowed to buy the stuff in advance with the permission of the group sales manager.

My next question!! The prices are decent, but not much better than the pre-christmas prices up north (and with the further deterioration of stg since), so i'll prob wait and purchase up there (i'm up very regularly).
Still, credit due to the OP.

Where is this toycity everybody has been talking of? 225 euro for a 160 gig is amazing!

Nope they're having a 50% off sale. A friend of mine got a 360 elite for €150, my boss got a 360 arcade for €80.

Yeah I got there just after 11. Serious amount of 40'' LG's going out the door. In fairness to the staff up there, they were very helpful. Probably because they were happy with their bargains?

Ah well. Thanks OP.

Fnz

Wii Fit for €60... not bad.

Thanks OP.

Guaranteed people will be getting their Credit card statements in the post this week and as a result will be returning the TVs. We're in a recession, but with the way people are going on about buying PS3s and TVs, you'd swear the economy was doing well.

We'll need something to keep us entertained when we're laid off;)
But seriously, at the prices being quoted for these 'big ticket' electricals, buyers are getting decent prices. The Sonys are approx 1/3 of their price 6/7 months ago, the ps3 is also vastly reduced. These items have went from being items that were close to twice the average take home weekly pay to close to 1/2 the average weekly take home pay.
