    I was kindly provided with a code for Argos in Cavan today but something has come up so I won't be able to get up there today. So if anyone wants it let me know

    Ive just been into xtravision in newbridge. No hope of getting one in there before xmas. Apparently due to increased demand in North America they redirected european stock and thats caused the shortage. Argos may get a delivery sometime thos week. Probably the best bet for people

    Sorry guys that code is gone now, gave it to the first person who was in touch

    I honestly believe XV are just making stuff up as they go along,one source says one thing,another says something completely different and on & on.

    That seems very unlikely considering that Europe is a much bigger market for SONY and that the PS4 was released there 2 weeks early. In fact, I read somewhere that Ireland had the most pre-orders in Europe, surely if that story was true then SONY should have focused on getting it here first.

    Ireland had the highest percentage of pre orders pet capita yes. Still a small market for SONY in the grand scheme of things though...

    Was anyone else up and able to order one of those bundles off Argos UK last night? The money was taken from my account, but I didn't get a confirmation email or anything. Should I wait until tomorrow to do anything given that it's Sunday?

    It's odd that no Argos stores in Dublin seem to be getting any


  • Registered Users Posts: 71 ✭✭damoPL


    all codes given away > ALL 3

    How are people managing to get so many reservations? One guy yesterday had 7 reservations around the country. Some nimble keyboard skills going on. I must have at least 15 tabs on the go but always out of stock by the time I get to the checkout screens!

    I just had auto fill on. Anyhow, if I manage to get more codes anytime soon I'll be sure to send them this way.

    I was busy today so asked a friend to collect the KZ bundle I reserved in Argos yesterday and he was told the reservation was cancelled and that the console was sold to somebody else.

    I didn't cancel the reservation and don't even know how to do it without going in store.

    Trying to call the shop now to get an explanation from the manager but getting no answer. Is there a customer service number to call that would be better than the branches actual number?

    This is unbelievably frustrating.

    Sounds like a dodgy inside job.
