Now then, seems my local (nearest 2) Argos stores will allow reserve for delivery to store, arriving Thursday 25th onwards.....on the 32GB model - sounds like a plan ?!

Good luck getting one reserved though... They say available on the page but after you actually try and reserve one it says there isn't one... I managed to reserve one but ouldn't get a second one anywhere.
 
Buying from comet before the drop might be even better !

Comet.co.uk price match and give 10% off the difference if you can find the item cheaper on selected websites or a local shop within 10 miles of your local Comet store (or within 10 Miles of your Postcode if you order by Phone). You can price match up to 14 days after you purchase. Unfortunately there is no indication on how to claim the Difference & 10% or how it is refunded.

From Comet Website

Always Low Prices - Guaranteed
At Comet, we believe in continuously checking competitors' prices online and in-store on your behalf to make sure that The Comet Price is always low - on average we check over 34,000 prices each week.
Online, we check the prices, including delivery, of all the leading online electrical retailers and if we find a lower price then we lower ours.
However even though we're doing everything we can, it is possible that we might miss something.

The Comet Price Guarantee
If you find a product on our website priced lower on Argos.co.uk, CarphoneWarehouse.com, Currys.co.uk, Dixons.co.uk, JohnLewis.com, PCworld.co.uk, Tesco.com/electrical and TheLink.com or in a local store (a store within 10 miles of your nearest Comet store), we'll not only match the price but also beat it by 10% of the difference. For purchases completed over the telephone the store must be within 10 miles of your home post code area.

14 Day Protection
We won't stop protecting you on price even after you've made your purchase. The Comet Price Guarantee applies for up to 14 days after you've made your purchase with us. We only ask that the same product is immediately available in a factory sealed box from Argos.co.uk, CarphoneWarehouse.com, Currys.co.uk, Dixons.co.uk, JohnLewis.com, PCworld.co.uk, Tesco.com/electrical and TheLink.com or at that local retailer.

This Applies
Where the offer can be verified, either by written evidence (e.g. advert, quotation, dated screen print etc.) or verbally from our competitors.
 
Just phoned Comet.

I asked what price I would pay after reserve and collect.

He replied:

"You would pay the price you originally agreed on. However, when you get to the till say 'hang on a minute, I want it for the lower price. Then they will sort it out." I said thanks, he said bye :D

Good luck getting one.

"Sorry! This item is not in stock at any of our stores near you.
Please try another postcode or select home delivery if possible."
 
lol, you realise that after this "firesale" they won't be avaliable from anywhere, which means that you won't be able to get the 14day money back guarantee because it must be "immediately avaliable".
Indeed they only price match stuff in stock

ps3ud0 :cool:
