Apparently Argos will be launching their own competing cloud services to take on the big boys.

Haha, same here.. i'd probably have one now for retro purposes but since i became aware of 'real' high end audio in the early 00s i can't say i'd be too impressed.
Ho, hoe, whore 
Still got some stuff from the 80s at the family home; yeah, mostly garbage, like those small ornamental clocks nobody ever looks at. Dunno if my gameboy (late 90s) was bought from them but I'll assume it was, so that was nice.

I bought a GameBoy Pocket at Argos mid to late 90s but recently sold it. 
Last thing I bought from Argos was a cheap mattress and that was more for convenience purposes not from drooling over...

On cost of games- can remember when Virtua Racing for the Mega Drive retailed at £69.99 (!!!). It came out in 1994, and had extra processing hardware on the cartridge to help with the graphics.
Games were regularly £45/50 at release, which was a lot at the time. The used market seemed booming though. As a kid, don’t think many of my Mega Drive games were new.

Saw the Sega Game Gear in the 93" catalogue, remember playing a game on that where you was like a caveman and you had to pick up large boulders and rocks, can't remember the name of the game but it was good fun.

Damn, I wanted to look something up from the mid 80s but this now just links to the Argos site

There are a few of these sites with these catalogues I think?

Argos isn't the same since Sainsburys took over. Still have a standalone branch in my town but they never have any catalogues in.
Soldato
Surprised they carried on with it for so long. It's been an utter waste of paper for some time.

I was utterly upset ALDI hadn't got a catalogue in the store this morning.
I hope it was a one off.

R.I.P Argos catalogue
Always picked a new one up when passing.

That's a shame
I've tended to find their catalogue easier to use than their website a lot of the time, it was the same with Maplin's where i'd flick through the catalogue to find the number of the item I wanted to order
