They're back on the employee purchase website - different prices now though - £69 for 16gb and £109 for 32gb - no 64gb models

PCW Update:

Called them up with order number. Very hassled (and rude) sounding guy on phone. He told me that they only had a few physical tablets in stock in the morning, and the rest of their stock had to be ordered in. But that they would fulfil your order if you had a "preparing your PC World order for delivery" email. They just couldn't give a date.

I'm not sure he realised the situation surrounding the touchpads as it sounded like a bit of a canned response...where are they going to get more stock from ??

Do you reckon this applies to Dixons as well...even though I ordered before the price drop?

You haven't tried to buy one then, as it takes you to an empty page

That doesn't mention anything about Touchpad prices, and they are running competitions on that account. It's clearly asking competition winners to get in touch about a prize! None of those people in the tweets due some 'good news' have mentioned anything about the Touchpad either.

I swear by Thor's Hammer that if Argos drop their price at 5pm I'm going to go postal as I won't be able to buy it until 5.30

 

[jmc007]

phoned argos, theyve not heard anything about price shifting from their suppliers yet so is still going to go for retail price. they do have them in stock but he didnt know how many. most bricks and mortar stores are completely out of stock he said.

Try and get one then, they are out of stock unless you have one reserved.

4:20 And still no dispatch, Amazon I am disappoint.

 

[garyfl]

so only employees can use it :/ just dissapointment after dissapointment :/ unless someones willing to buy another and send me it and ill pay a little extra.

Doubt it, we'll see the PR debacle unfold there shortly once TheRegister and co lambast them.

Simple update on Twitter over the 2 hour period saying, actually we're selling them at full price sorry chaps, would have saved a lot of people getting ****ed off.

Well they've kept their biggest customers happy! £200,000 a year or a one off £99? It's a hard decision.

 

[Leo101b]

They seem to be out of stock anyway, or at least all stock has allready been reserved.

 

[RoachycaL]

Does anyone have any updates from PCW? I got one ordered when it said it was in stock. I chose free delivery however nothing has changed on the order page.

Seriously, a genuine question. Being called the Employee Purchase Program, what do you think?

If I get through, I'll buy two, assuming I can, and will put one up in the MM

 

[Rameses]

Totally gone from Play now. The game is up for me. Argos never had any to begin with and play was the last store for me. **cries**

 

[garyfl]

and now the touchpad isnt available on play to see anymore. i give up. day off wasted.

Been logged in all afternoon. No price change, all sold at full price and pigs fly.

According to joemc's 'inside information' on the previous page they were all sold to business account holders (i.e. regular misco customers)
