Tis Insight.

I can't even see purchase/order info on the site.

Nothing there

Account managers phoned people up this morning, you'll probably need to phone them.

 

[Jas1975]

I'll risk a suspension and post the telephone number 0844 846 3333 so you guys can get on the phone

 

[carrot1401]

And they're selling at those silly prices?!??!

 

[Jas1975]

Like hotcakes apparently - I was told there were 40 or so 32GB left 10 minutes ago

 

[twe]

Is anyone actually going to pay those prices though? £180 for 16gb? £210 for 32gb?

Thats cheaper than some ebay auctions so I guess so.....

I guess so.

But that's not part of the game I'm playing haha. I can only buy one at the complete reduced price, or else I've failed and I might as well have gone to eBay....

God sake...

I called up but they wanted £150 + p&p for the 16gb

 

[loki101]

too expensive..

That sounds acceptable. I don't get paid till Friday, sniff

Matter of opinion.

If they had originally been dropped to £150 Plus P&P they would have still sold out and still been a 'bargain' with customers clamouring to get one. As they were released at £89 then anything above that is seen as poor value.

Might be acceptable for a product with little in the way of confirmed support that's too much for me.

£179.99 including tax - I don't think that's acceptable. That's more than double the price....

Ah, ok tax. No that is too much. £150 is my threshold.
