Odd that HN are jumping on this but nowhere else is

Im guessing places like Argos and PC World will have to do the same now, cant see how they can charge more than HN did for them. Not good business. It looks like the HP Ireland website will start selling them at this price also soon, as the german website is selling at €99.

I wouldn't go driving for miles to a HN in the hope of getting one, as I have a feeling most other places will do the same as HN over the next few days.

None in HN Castlebar

I rang Carrickmines and spoke to the manager, said that all 16 were gone and only 32 were left, looks like they are all gone at this stage from there judging by posts since then.

devnull

HN Blanch and Swords sold out.

swingking

All the 16gbs are gone in HN Limerick

rivalius13

you're guranted that you'll get them at the lower price. means you can be sure to get oen instead fo havign to wait for the rush.

PC world and Currys Galway have stock but don't have the discount yet and wouldn't let me reserve.

bricky06

did anyone who managed to pick a 16gb up today have one reserved in argos??
if so, can i have the reservation number? if i get one (in my hands) i will provide a code for a 32gb if its wanted.

Edit: meant to say anywhere in dublin city or southside. thanks!

Rsaeire

Although HN appear to be sold out in Dublin and in other areas in the country, does anyone know if they sold out at €99 and €129 for the 16 GB and 32 GB respectively? While I can't imagine people buying them all at their RRP, they seem to have sold out very quickly.

ravydavygravy

I got one in Carrickmines about 10 mins ago, seemed to have a decent amount of stock.

They did have both the 16 gig and 32 gig version?
How much are they selling for?

Thanks

Thats 32GB Left, not 32 pieces of stock.

If the Harvey Norman stories are true then they are way ahead of the game. All the other retailers must be sitting around twiddling their thumbs.

I got 16GB for €99. Some friends from the office have headed over to see what the story is - they'll be back in a few mins.

Just back from Harvey Norman Cork, got a 32gb for 129. Flying out the door down there, one guy in front of me and after that there was a stream of people coming in looking for them. I'm a happy camper anyway!

Mr Bloat

I picked up a 32gb one for €129 in Harvey Norman, Kinsale Rd about 20mins ago. They had 16x32gb and 8x16gb left at that stage and they took 3 phone calls about it in the space of time I was there! Get them quick, they won't last long. Only one sold per customer, I don't think they are allowing reservations.

They are true. I rang HN Naas a while ago and they had a few in stock for the discounted price, dont think I can travel that far though, as im sure other stores closer to me will have them for the same price in a few days. Cant imagine they lasted long there though. Surely other stores and online sites will start discounting the price soon also.

GinjaNinja

baldshin

Anyone tried a Currys, using their price promise? They'll beat competitors by 10%.

orourkk3

Gone in Swords and Carrickmines, was on the phone to Helena from HN, they're looking at getting more stock in due to demand but I just dont see it happening! c'mon Hp Ireland!!!

PC WORLD SELLING AT €99 from tomorrow morning I just read.

Brian

Two or three 32gb left in HN Cork, Kinsale Rd. No phone reservations, 1pp.

davoxx

if anyone has one to spare, i'd love one

bricky06

curry's/pcworld dropping prices from opening time tomorrow!

Do-more

Has anyone been into HN Mullingar?

From the big fella:

Currys & PC World: Declan wrote: »

Here's the update. The good news is that we will be pricing the product at € 99.99 from tomorrow morning. The bad news is that there is not a lot of product available, neither in our stores nor in the central warehouse. Store stock in general is 5 to 6 units. And they're won't be more coming in.

I'll post later the stores in which stock is available. Not all stores were ranged for the Touch Pad so no point in sending you somewhere where there is no product.

I won't do a reservation list as there will be too many disapponited people. I'm also advising stores not to do a reservation list either for only a couple of units. That's just going to create a lot of unnecessaty stress for people.

So the drill is that we'll have the product for sale first thing in the morning at € 99.99 for the first people in the queue outside the relevant stores. They open at 10.00 and I'll post which stores later.

Curreys in airsiside won't price match

orourkk3

None in stock in HN Mullingar, not sure if they ever had them!

stevenmu

Anyone tried a Currys, using their price promise? They'll beat competitors by 10%.

I doubt they'll match a clearance offer. (and not just Currys, any shops with price matching generally won't match clearance)

Selling any?

Can I suggest that we don't make any offers of buying them here, it'll only encourage people to stock up and try and profit from them.

cgordonfreeman

My girlfriend for the last one in HN kinsale rd. Apparently 40 of each sold out in 45 minutes.
