Unfortunately, a lot of Argos' offers are basically vapourware unless you get incredibly lucky, their Xbox plus 4 games offer being a case in point.

I have seen that offer and it is still on.  Plenty in stock in my area.  Got to play some postcode lottery and order it for home delivery.

Hmm, that's interesting. Did you get the Xbox and the games?

The reason I ask is that my local Argos has plenty of the game packs in stock but no Xboxes. However, the opposite applies online, the Xboxes are still available but not the games. From what I've been reading, this seems to be the situation over most of the country.

ark_ader:

Yes there are Xboxes for £50 with those 4 games.  The 4 games are worth £50 at least!

Yes I have some in my neck of the woods.

PM me if you want the code to pick it up or have it setup for home delivery (if that is an option.)  Note I will be accepting Grasshopper only PMs for this info.  I want one too!

Grasshopper:

I'm glad I picked up one of these when I did as it appears that Argos have now removed this item from their website following publication of their new catalogue.

Unfortunately, they've also removed the Xbox deal which I wasn't able to take advantage of.  :banghead:

Ah well, some you win and some you lose.

Incidentally, what does everyone here think of the software? I haven't tried mine out yet as I haven't got any batteries.

ark_ader:

I just got my trackball opened and getting ready to mouse mod it.  Incidentially I have a Marconi Trackball for use with a BBC with an RS423 connector on it.  Do you think I could mouse hack that too?
