    Think it may be time to invest in a nice new laptop. Is there any finance deals available ??
    No finance available I'm afraid. We used to deal with a finance provider but all that changed

    I have to say that I'm intrigued by this refund plus 10% of the difference offer... Hope I can give the real world example to find out what exactly happens

    My ink bought in local shop €47 - yes it is genuine ink from printer manufacturer
    In PC World €57
    difference is €10.

    Now from what I've read here if I take advantage of the 10% offer then PC world will sell me the Ink @ €46. Saving me a whole €1....
    Is this correct?

    Also will PC world then sell the ink to everyone at that price or just me?

    Irish1967 - you have WAY too much time on your hands! :D Either that, or you should have a job in marketing and design. I hope you get at LEAST €100 off whatever you want at PC World and Currys.

    Apologies to everyone, esp Curry's Declan: I got my figures completely wrong I was accusing PCworld of being overpriced for selling @ €57 for the set of Canon Ink.... well I was wrong, was in Letterkenny yesterday and re-checked the price, they aren't selling them @ €57 as stated throughout my posts, instead they are selling them @ €59! that's actually 25%+ above the price I pay in my local store!

    Obvious glee there Firbolg. And I'm very pleased too. In fairness we don't price check against retailers in Donegal, so if a local retailer is taking a price position against us or anyone else and can afford to do so, then fair dues. That's the nature of competition. Where we will benchmark is where we see retailers with a range offering similar to ourselves, the obvious cases being Harvey Norman and Argos. When I look at the Argos price for this product I see € 45, so it's clear that we're way overpriced on it. That's the value of the price promise as an intelligence system, something's gone awry with the pricing and we will be making the necessary adjustment. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

    Ah no.. no glee here, just knowing that I'm helping the PC World intelligence system is reward enough :D... strage to say the uk arm of PC world had the price spot on, obviously didn't share it with the irish arm :confused: Perhaps they view you as competition, seeing how they only a few miles away in Derry...

    As for a local retailer taking a price position against you guys, well I bought my printer off them more than a year ago an have been paying the same for ink since - they're a tenner cheaper than another local retailer too; so don't feel too bad, their intelligence system is probably awry too..

    Anyway as a reward for my diligence hope you'll give everyone on here the heads up on whatever offer PC world are putting on for the grand opening (something on/off 50" TV would be most appreciated:D)

    Heads up's shall be provided. We're doing a leaflet drop which I saw a draft of yesterday. You can be rest assured there'll be something on a 50 " and it will be a tempting price drop

    The 08.00 to East Midlands Airport is what the early rise is about. Can get from Wicklow to the airport in 50 mins if I get out before 06.15. But can't resist seeing if customers or potential customers have been talking. Mind you, I thought that quality of life in Donegal kept 07.33 starts off the agenda !

    Can anyone tell me why there are no UK phone->RJ11 phone connectors in PCW in Letterkenny ?
    Just the UK->UK ones. UK phone extension lines. UK Phone double adapters. UK Phone Broadband filters.

    Have we moved country that I didn't know about ?

    Currys have their own interactive forum here on Boards and its best that all specific queries regarding stock etc are raised there.

    Selection of laptops is excellent. Bought an Acer Aspire there on Saturday. Won't be able to make it for the grand opening.
    Getting used to windows 7 here and wondering how I managed without 4gig of RAM.
    Staff were very friendly too.

    No sign of flyers this side of the Gap and the PCWorld.ie website is down.

    Any door-opening specials?
