None in stock for collection in the 5 areas I've searched for. Wouldn't surprise me if this was another one of their non existent deals they regularly put up to get people on their websites.

No it's coz of the end of the webos. In the US the prices were dropped last night to $99 but they took a while to get here. Been looking all day (not that I'd want a rubbish end of life product anyway!)

Most places I've seen are collect in store only.

That's what I'm saying, good luck finding a store that actually has one for you to reserve it!

cono1717 is a jewel in the rough
Had an email through today on the store system saying that the amount of reserves crashed the system.

All the stores in my the my stores region had them reserved and it is still currently web only, don't bother going into a store they may still have stock left but it is still on eclipse (the store's terminal system) as £349 and they cannot match the online price.

Just thought I'd save you all a bit of hurried travelling tomorrow.

I see what you mean. Can't find one anywhere! PCworld is the only place I've found selling it for £89 and so far I've tried:

Bath, Bristol, Swindon, Reading, Guildford, London

Don't think we're gonna find one!

EDIT: Oh FFS... "page timed out" once I'd entered my card details and clicked confirm order... now have I ordered or not?! F**ing F*** F***

Think I'm going to need to cash out a few greens... Just managed to get one of Staples Not that I really want one, but it's hard to turn down such a bargain!!!

However I thought I'd point out how cheeky their order page is. The big massive "This is what you pay" amount shows a nice £76.01 at a glance... however the actual price you pay is below in small writing! Cheeky buggers!

You mean it looks like I've ordered it? So annoying the site is still down.

Also, been looking at HUKD and people are ordering them from sites that show, for me, the full price but they're paying the cheap price. Like someone on Play and Amazon... but both show full price! Very confusing!

Why did you actually buy it if you don't want it?
