I bought the Sainsbury deal last week with 2 copies of Fifa 12...for £199.99.
I think they had a 2 week return policy so ........Took both copies of Fifa 12 back to customer services ....on 2 different days ......and asked for a credit note both times and both times they refunded my credit card £42.99 each for the games.
So 160gb PS3 Slim for £114.01........BARGAIN !!!

So... we all know mail order companies often say "Allow 28 days for delivery". I ordered less than 28 days ago and my goods have arrived. I used a mail order company, I got the item I wanted in the time I expected. I didn't get worked up, I let mail order companies do what they do. Be slow and inefficient, but I got my goods.
I think the problem with this thread is that people seem to forget this is a mail order company, whether they have a website or not. Tens of pages of people whining because all they do everyday is sit on the internet wishing things were instant and things didn't take time like the good ol' days. Receiving invoices in the post?? What is this madness.
Yes their computer system isn't great, and their customer service aren't able to do much more than read off their screens, this all can be improved, but welcome to the real world, this is how a lot of companies operate. They don't have the money to spend on complete system overhauls, and yes, it does cost a lot of money despite those of you who are sure they could write a better system. You live at your computers thinking they are the real world ignoring what is actually out there and how things actually work.
Anyways rant over. Mail order company gave me goods I ordered, I am happy :smiley: Well done all who stuck with it.

Web site back up and working ,I hope you all get this deal with no problem :smiley:,but I`ve decided to pull out off this ,something in my waters as they say.:neutral_face:
Perhaps it just old age.
From the reviews they aren't scammers, they just have bad business practices and make it difficult for you to pay the balance off so they can rope you in on the interest payments and fees.
You just need to make sure you pay the balance off within 21 days, provided they send you account statement of course... They don't make the money on the goods so much, they make the money on the interest as that's a massive APR and we all know how low interest rates are.
Look on the bright side, with the price of the console there will be many other people in the same boat. If they play up, if everyone complains we should be able to get them on watchdog.

How do I make a payment?
* Following despatch of your order you will receive a statement showing you how much and when to pay
You can pay in several ways:
1. Use this site to make an online payment.
2. Over the phone using our Automated Payment Service by calling the Careline on 0871 200 0378 and selecting Option 1. We accept the following cards: Visa, Visa Debit, MasterCard and Maestro. Note: Credit card payments will incur a processing charge of 1.5% of the payment value. Full details will be given at the time you make your payment.
3. At the Bank. Fill in details of the amount you are paying on the Bank Giro Slip attached to your statement and pay over the counter at your Bank.
4. By Post. You can send a cheque/Postal Order crossed and made payable to Studio, ensure you write your Account Number and your name and address on the reverse of your cheque/Postal Order & send to Studio, Preston, PR0 2BP.
spread the costYou have the opportunity to spread your payments and the flexibility to select the payment method that suits you best.
Option 1 - DIRECT DEBIT you will be sent a statement every 28 days showing the minimum payment due. For this option you will pay your installments by direct debit and every 28 days you will be charged just 2p, for every pound owing, together with a service charge on any purchase added to your balance on your previous statement from the date of despatch of each item up to that statement. There will be a minimum service charge of £1, 29.5% APR typical (variable). Written quotations available on request. For Direct Debit information call 08713 769 950.
Option 2 - you will be sent a statement every 28 days showing the minimum payment due which you will be expected to pay within 21 days. You may pay your instalments by cheque, bank giro, debit card, credit card or postal order and every 28 days you will be charged just 2.9p, for every pound owing, together with a service charge on any purchase added to your balance on your previous statement from the date of despatch of each item up to that statement. There will be a minimum service charge of £1, 44.9% APR typical (variable). Written quotations available on request.
Example credit limit of £300: if you make purchases up to the full amount of this credit limit, assuming that you repay the outstanding balance over a 12 month period by way of equal instalments (first instalment within 28 days) and that any interest rates remain the same throughout this period, the total charge for credit under the credit agreement will be £44.10 (if you pay by direct debit) and £64.55 (if you pay by other methods). The total amount payable will therefore be £344.10 (if you pay by direct debit) and £364.55 (if you pay by other methods).
There is no extra charge if you choose to pay the whole amount within 21 days. Availability of credit is subject to status and the amount of credit you have remaining on your account up to but not exceeding the credit limit we have extended to you.
Please Note: you are responsible for payments of all goods and services supplied. Should you fail to make a payment or pay less than the minimum amount due by the specified date and we or someone acting for us have to remind you to make such payment, we reserve the right to charge you default sum each time that we have to remind you, and the amount of any other losses and reasonable costs we incur as a result of your default. These will include (but are not limited to) the costs of tracing you, notifying you of your default and enforcing payment of any amount due.

1. You make order
2. They check your credit history
3. If you're deemed eligible for credit, your new credit account with them is charged the price of the PS3
4. You are sent a bill saying that you have £116.99 to pay
Hmm, being 17, I'm not 100% sure this credit check is gonna come through

Great spot OP. Be surprised if it comes through but, as a previous poster pointed out, you've got to be in it to win it. Was gutted when I saw the Sainsbury's deal at midnight last night; had spent the evening installing software on to my new HP ProBook, so it was one of the few times I hadn't been keeping an eye on HUKD. Have ordered 2, one for the boy, and one for the work Christmas Draw. Just hope it works but suspect it's a mis-price. Heat added.

I to have had the email almost immediately, a little apprehensive but if £116 delivered works out who can argue......Great deal if it works out,,,,,,and I see no reason it wont.....although I have been fooled before and beaten at Fifa by an 8 year old called Pedro....
The more I read the more I think you guys ain't got a cat in Hells chance of getting this.
I wonder if this is a cheap trick to get a load of new customers to bombard you with crap

What the hell is wrong with these people? Not one of the reviews makes any sense no wonder they got in trouble with their finances.

I was about to order, as the price seems to be fantastic and after the build up of excitement after yesterdays thread, but I just took 2 steps back and asked myself, will I really benefit from this deal? Will I actually take time out to play this? Or this this another one of my impulse buys.
Ive decided its not for me, but im still excited for the rest of you guys. Go HUKD's power lol

Think I'd rather save my money and buy from a better reviewed company.....even though my heart really wants a PS3! =( =(

Since they don't ask for bank details, if you know someone's name, address and date of birth you can order!! This doesn't seem right.

for say £50-70 a person, they are getting their hands on your personal data.. depending on your credit circumstances, seems like a very cheap trade to me or maybe im just being pesimistic

Hate this company, ordered some stuff from them years ago, it never turned up, kept getting statements but wasn't going to pay for stuff I hadn't had, they kept adding charges, I sent them letters and phoned saying the stuff hadn't arrived, still kept getting statements with charges on, in the end sent them a really snotty letter telling them I would take them to court if they kept harrassing me, got a letter back a few days after saying my account had been cleared of all charges.
My mum uses them, every month pretty much they will add a charge to her account, they send statements out so late that there is hardly any time/ no time to pay before getting a charge. Prices are good but they make up for it with the sneaky charges.

No there not scammers there a mail order company - part of the Findel PLC. look em up. I'd trust them. The worst they can do is mess up ur order cause they have a lot of orders at this time of year.. some of my friends are working 14 hour shifts today to get these orders through..

This is actually Express Gifts Limited who have god knows how many names on the internet: Studio (in discussion here), Webb Ivory, Ace, Health & Home Shopping. Express are owned by Findel who also own Kitbag, Kleeneze etc.
This is the automated software they use to chase poor unfortunates down http://www.experian-da.com/solutions/tallyman.html
They bought it from Experian (http://www.experian.co.uk/assets/resources/case-studies/expressGiftsDM.pdf)
It's certainly a good deal, in terms of price only, but credit applications, scoring and possibly being a bit "slow" in colecting money has my spidey senses up. So no from me :-)

Credit company, although legit. Do not have a very good name.
bluespace77 to dmoggie
20 Oct 111#204
Slight flaw in your logic, the poster of the deal registered 3 hours before the Sainsbury's deal was posted.
So it's impossible for them have to seen the Sainbury's deal, then decide to sign for this site and do their own deal for marketing purposes.

They are not scammers. Same company as Webb Ivory who I have ordered from for the local school's christmas fundraising every year for the last 4 years. I ordered from Studio last week (it was delivered in Webb Ivory packaging) and everything has been delivered with no problems. I have just ordered one as my kids tonight decided they want one for christmas so good timing! Thanks heat added!

You can't, as you don't have an account number, but presumably it will be a misprice and so the order won't be processed. Presumably what you'll end up with is a catalogue...
I'm starting to wish I hadn't ordered too... but I bet someone ordered bulk for fleabay.

24studio are a legit company. I ordered a similarly good deal from them last year, all went through fine. After selling the bundled software my xbox slim cost me about £70.
The one thing that concerns me is that the ps3 is listed on the games section rather than with the other consoles...:neutral_face:
I have ordered, nonetheless.

This originally had a price of £249.99, so it was definately for the console and not a game. It looks like it's in the game category because it's an 'online exclusive'

bluespace77 to brock101

Worked fine for me. Try ordering 2 or more consoles as it won't increase the chance of hassle and if it works you'll may regret just buying one.

I tried adding 4 consoles which took the order total to over £500 (before discount and delivery charges) and when I clicked place order a red error message appeared stating maximum order total is £500 on first purchase.
I used the discount code from this post and it gave me 10% off and free delivery. Just to confirm I filled out the form for a new customer and this is my first order.

Now that it has a code to make it even less I have decided to give it a go. I have just placed an order for one using 019code on the final order page for 10% off plus free delivery. £116.99

2 Questions:
1) Has any body used this site before? Are they legit?
2) What's their returns policy?
probably been asked/answered but too many comments have passed!
yes my whole family use the site and order loads for birthdays and xmas and never had a problem.
Obviously this might be a price error in which case the orders may be cancelled thats the only problem i can see.
RickT
20 Oct 11#298
I would never sign up with a company who has a track record like them where you are in a credit agreement, all they need to do is state you defaulted on payment and then you could get some black marks on your credit record which take hours of work to get rid of.
Plus, when going for loans, credit cards you will have to declare you had / have store credit account.
Hopefully you will all be fine and get your good no problem, If I did not have a PS3 maybe I would of seen it different....

Hmmmmm. Lots of people ITT, no doubt lurking too, who would have ordered. Chances of a back street, shady catalogue fufilling all orders? 0% I'd guess.
People who got in early maybe lucky.
In the mean time, a credit search and account on your crf's. Then a hell of a lot of potential hassle.
Think I'm going to have to skip it before the tears come.
Nailez
20 Oct 11#326
I cant say for sure Messiah but I see no reason why a credit based company would NOT let you pay it in full right away.
@Tinks a credit search is nothing unless your constantly getting denied for some reason and should not cause hassle at all or you would NEVER be able to get credit in the first place. As for tears possibly but got to be in it to win it as for me if it works out then w00t if not o well its just another misprice that didnt get honoured.

there could be a few things going on.
1, Offer a cheap deal sign up loads of people who may use the credit to finance xmas and buy more.
2, Misprice
3, Cancel orders but give people account hope they use it.

IF they do match ill just buy another from them also as no doubt the likely event is this wont be honoured however if they both do it would be easy to flog a brand new ps3 on for £150ish small profit but quick sale

20 Oct 115#376
To all of the people saying you've not been charged any money you're right... Sort of. You've requested a credit agreement which, if passed by 24Studio legally binds you to their Ts&Cs of sale. Sure, they give you the option of paying it all off in one go but if they use delay tactics (as commented on many review sites - there's one featuring over 100 negative reviews) such as sending invoices late, claiming not to receive payment and so on you'll most likely end up having to run to the Financial Ombudsman/FSA when you're being hit with late payment and admin fees left,right and centre.
Time intensive and not worth the hassle IMO. If anybody manages to get their PS3 for £116.99 then fair play, but personally I'd rather pay the extra for piece of mind (there's been supermarket deals nationwide selling the 160GB for ~£160-170). Not to mention that if you read the last 'big offer' thread from 24Studio that got hot on HUKD, people bought 250GB Xbox 360s with Kinect but were switch-sold 4GB versions.
According to that thread some people still hadn't had a satisfactory resolution two months after the initial post. Not to mention that 24Studio didn't even have stock of the 250GBs yet kept taking more and more and more orders. Is it worth wasting that amount of time to-ing and fro-ing with phone calls and emails for the chance to save £50? Or would it not be quicker, easier and safer to shell out a little more and have the product in hand today?
I guess that's for you lot to decide - but forewarned is forearmed.

IF we get the PS3s and pay as soon as invoice is received then I can't see how they can mess us about with credit charges. Fair enough if it was one person on their own but this is now over 1400o there is no way they would get away with messing this number of people who are all connected via this website IMHO. It would ruin their already bad reputation.
Nailez to amplifiedAnt
20 Oct 11#387
Personally show me a 160g that you can buy for £160 the closest i saw was the sainsburys deal and that only worked through by doing a fifa12x2 then selling on trick. As for swapping and trading items etc if they do that then you can check straight away on the delivery notes which should be on the outside of the box upon delivery if its swapped just refuse delivery.
As for payment well you can call the amount you get the thing and pay over the phone they cannot deny then :smiley:
bluespace77 to amplifiedAnt
20 Oct 11#403
What are they going to do? send you a 320GB PS3 by mistake? A 120GB PS3, that would have the old firmware wouldn't it?
Just make sure you pay it off in a bank the moment the statement arrives, as then you should have a receipt and proof that you've paid it.
There's always safety in numbers, if one or two were ordering they might be able to pull over you the coals. But if hundreds or thousands order...

The first ever order I had with 24studio was for a full Wii Rockband kit for £13.98 in 2008. They sent an out of stock notice. Since then the parents have ordered a few bday and xmas bits here and there from the catalogues they send, and there's been zero problems with the company. Feel free to be too paranoid to order though, it leaves the rest of us with an extra small chance of getting them :wink:

I admire your optimism. I've generally found it a good idea to accept the wisdom and experience of others when there's vast swathes of it but freedom of choice is a privilege worth exercising. Good luck :smiley:
They already have form with the 250GB 360 'offer'. There's no evidence to suggest that this won't be exactly the same scenario. Heat on HUKD has utterly zero relation to the credibility of the company involved.
I walked past a huge stack of 160GB consoles on a pallet in the Basingstoke branch of Morrisons the other week which were reduced to £160. Fairly sure that was a nationwide deal posted on here. Perhaps they're not that price any more but won't be far off. Even given the choice of paying £180 or risking it with 24Studio I still know what I'd do. £117 is a worthless price if they don't have the stock (and I'd bet you the price of a PS3 they don't).
There's a reason retailers don't sell PS3s at this price and for the small percentage of people that will eventually get one ridiculously cheaply there'll be many more for whom this becomes an absolute ballache. You pays your money (when they let you), you takes your choice (if they ever chase down the stock) but in the words of a grumpy Scottish entrepeneur, "Ahm oot".

From last time round with these guys you can get the job done. They are controlled by the Financial Ombudsman Service so are very careful once you raise a claim/dispute. Easiest thing to do is pay as soon as your account number comes through, thus avoiding any charges.

20 Oct 11#428
I'm still confused why so many people think we've "been had". It was a misprice, they're unlikely to honour it like so many other companies. People may get annoyed at receiving catalogues that they didn't before, but I already get them. I'm not sure what part of the 'probably not going to get a misprice' that goes on all the time on bargain sites is 'we've been had' in this case, especialy with no money or payment details changing hands.

I am not disputing that, but probably more so the major headaches that MIGHT follow re previous peoples problems with this company..... My point, is it really worth the potential hassles with having a line of credit with this company all for the sake of a few pounds saving (Sainsbury £199 + 2 games deal).
If it was a straight purchase, fine, im in.. but!
It's having my name associated with them in respect a line of credit that becomes the issue.. constant mail outs, screw up's with accounts, wrong goods sent.... proof is plastered all over google.

Hey Stray understandable within context but the sainsburys deal was never meant to be Fifa12x2 and was only availible in some stores I tried my local for the same deal and wasnt able to get it the only offer was a when bought with these games deal which was more expensive.
Having your name associated with a company that if it doesnt go through only has a record of you applying for credit and getting approved would actually be a good thing as its a plus on your account for having a zero balance with a catalogue company or am I missing something there?
Straycat1967 to Nailez
20 Oct 11#441
I was referring to the legit £199 + 2 games not the mispriced ... but not a biggie!

I rang as already a member of 24studio. I couldn't sign in as for some reason my account was closed online. The woman on the phone at 1st couldn't find this offer as it is not on there at all unless you click on the link that was given. She put me on hold then said that it is on there, plenty in stock but i have to order it online, she can not order it for me! Now that sounds suss to me! She sent me an email for me to reactivate my account online then I ordered it. On my account it says online orders not yet processed and it has the ps3 console but when i search for the correct product number that was sent to me in my email, it doesn't exist. The woman said it will take 10days delivery. I doubt this will be sent, as you cant even find it.

AFAIK, it's money shopping things that suggest otherwise, Rejections, or acceptances aren't shown on your file.
Just the actual credit search, by the company. The outcome isn't recorded. It's having too many searches, rather than rejections that affects your cf. As it makes you look desperate or fraudulent applying for many credit accounts at a time. Rejected people are more likely to do this. The rejection dosen't matter, as it isn't disclosed.
Then, having too many accounts, etc.
So if people have gone for this and been rejected, highly unlikely they'll reject anyone. But the search won't make a difference if it's rejected or not. It's just a recorded search.
This is what I was told, when we started looking at mortgages, watch the amount of searches you have, even if you know you will get accepted (never been rejected yet). Mobiles, cards, bank accs, catalogues, utilities etc. It's the searches that are the issue. Thought I'd clarify above info. But Rick T is right. Recent credit searches, do affect your ability to borrow from other lenders. As it's the searches which are looked at.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
You have applied for a credit account with Studio; Studio will search your record at a credit reference agency or agencies who will supply Studio with credit information as well as information from the electoral register, which will be used to assess your application and to verify your identity.
When your application has been approved, your order will be processed and dispatched to the address you have provided. Enclosed within the parcel will be your order documentation, at the top of which you will find your account number, please record this and keep it safe.

From my post yesterday for anyone who thinks that placing the order but not giving them bank details or payment details means you've cleverly avoided their spam machine. You will of course have a credit check done against you and, as has been rightly stated above, it isn't good sense to have too many of these too quickly.
But like I said yesterday, great deal if folks actually get it fairly and squarely and avoid any problems :-)
(i) We will make searches about you at credit reference agencies who will supply us with credit information, as well as information from the Electoral Register. The agencies will record details of the search whether or not credit is granted. We may use credit-scoring methods to assess your application and to verify your identity. Credit searches and other information which is provided to us and/or the credit reference agencies, about you and those with whom you are linked financially may be used by us and other companies if credit decisions are made about you or other members of your household. This information may also be used for debtor tracing, fraud prevention, and the prevention of money laundering as well as the management of your account.
(ii) Information held about you by the credit reference agencies may already be linked to records relating to people with whom you are linked financially. For the purposes of credit searching you may be treated as financially linked and you will be assessed with reference to any "associated" records.
(iii) If we enter a credit agreement with you we will also supply details of your agreement with us to the credit reference agencies, as well as ongoing details of your account and how you manage it. If you do not repay on time or in full we will tell the credit reference agencies who will record details of the debt. All this information will be seen by other organisations carrying out later credit searches.

21 Oct 11#531
very unlikely. the guy i spoke to at customer services said that they received alot of orders for the playstation and they are all likely to get honoured as they are directly despatched from the manufacturer therefore eliminating the chances of them being oos. he has confirmed that mine will definitely be on its way to me!

Oh yeah, my bad. The bluetooth remote is fine but don't use this from the sofa either cos it won't work. You can use the controllers from the sofa though.

Just gave them a call to see if they have accepted me for credit like the rest of you people who've got the email confirmation because I've yet to have it, yet I ordered late Wednesday night.
What the lady said is that today they sent a letter out to me today, instead of giving me credit they want full payment in advance (£129.99), once I've paid they'll process the order then when I receive it, I'll need to claim the 10% back using the invoice later on.
So definitely looks promising!!

Apologies, didn't realise you already had an open credit account with them.
MartH
21 Oct 111#564
People, do not get ahead of yourselves.
Credit checks may be carried out by a third party in an automated fashion, and the staff you speak to on the phone may be unaware of correct product prices. And it's a no-brainer that credit checks and account creation will happen before your order is processed.
Just because your application for an account has been accepted, does not mean they will process your order, even more so when on credit.
ragnar@forssman.
21 Oct 11#565
I called as well and while mine is still being processed they said it looked like they were converting mine to an account (new to Studio) but could take 3-7 days. Did not mention any issues but we will wait and see.
Forgot to add I am linked to Experian and there was a search done by them but it only says searched for a gift card account - nothing more.

Yeah, I got the e-mail too. Let's see what happens. It's good that you can pay it all off via their secure online payment system. That way they can't mess you around or slow things down, as some previously claimed in this thread.

Only when I am holding a brand new PS3.
Not a PS2 Slim.
Not a PS3 with a statement showing £229.99 with a crappy offer of £10 off if I keep it.
A PS3 for £116.99 and a closed 24Studio account. :smiley:

21 Oct 11#607
I've not had the email yet. I'm hoping for the letter in the mail, as I've already got an account (I've no idea my # so couldn't order it with that, so had to order as a new customer) so they can't say I wasn't accepted for credit, or I'll moan :wink:

Me and my brother ordered one each on the 19th. I did not use the 10% code but did receive a second email this morning at 07.59. My brother on the other hand, who used the 10% code, is yet to receive his second email.
Not sure if this is down to credit rating (brother is a home owner and am a student) or due to the 10% code (i think some who used the 10% code received a second email). It could also be due to timing (i ordered mine first, within the first 2 hours)

what is the point in copying out the emails? and the same email for that matter?

Why would they not deliver if sent out 2nd stage confirmation emails after a couple of days, there was new credit searches alerts from equifax and some of us had phoned to confirm and got positive answer?
IT IS HAPPENING!
disco_stu90
22 Oct 11#626
i dont see why there is so much negativity about this deal
at best everyone gets their ps3 for £116.99 and at worst we get a bunch of emails/catalouges from them, nothing to lose really :smiley:

22 Oct 11#631
I'm confused - how do I find out when I should be at home to sign for the delivery?
I am being told I can track my order from my account online, but I can't login without an account number, and the only way to get my account number is by reading it off the paperwork in the box.

i waited on the line for about 10mins and the women then told me my order had been processed on the 20th and now i will have to wait 7 to 10 days for delivery. LOOKS LIKE ITS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!
also i asked for my account number but apparently due to the data protection act they cannot give it over the phone or email it to the registered email address (which is a bit stupid in my opinion) but she said she will send it out via post.

22 Oct 11#639
I had only received the order (which i place on Thursday) confirmation email and was worried; therefore,I decided to call them this morning.
They said the order was held due to only have been given a 100 pound credit (no idea why it's so low!) whereas my order costs a 117. I ended up having to pay 29 pounds over the phone since the original price 129 for them to release my order. It will take a maximum of 3 days for my payment to go through at which point they'll send the ps3 with my invoice totaling approx 88 pounds.
This has the potential of turning into a headache but I guess we'll see what happens!
shutty2k3
23 Oct 11#640
I have not received the second email ultimatekopite. I ordered late Wednesday night and I have received an alert from experian to say a credit check has been done. I guess I will be receiving a letter in the next few days or so.
Julius
23 Oct 111#641
I just feel confused why the order will be shipped from the factory?
I dont think sony will have a deal with 24studio to allow 24studio to place the orders in Sony's supplier directly.
ompek
23 Oct 11#642
so far I have not received a single email from that company regarding either registering or placing my order... WTF???
Ross87
23 Oct 11#643
@Julius Littlewoods used to (don't know if they still do) say that about large electricals. I think they order them when needed, so they don't have too much cash tied up in expensive kit just sitting in the warehouse. This way if it doesn't sell, they haven't lost any money.
Julius to Ross87
23 Oct 11#651
24studio may not have cash and warehouse to store the PS3, but Sony does it in UK.
I dont believe Sony will allow the factory, as their supplier, to deliver the products to the final customers through the retailer such as 24studio.
Don't forget the factory probable is not in the UK, so the shipment cost is even higher than warehouse for individual ps3.
Gavin01
23 Oct 11#644
im 50/50 on this. They havnt as yet said anything like it was a pricing error etc.....
On the plus side the amount of people that have ordered them could pursuaded them to honor the price if indeed it was a error.
Plus out of all the people who ordered one, many will probably use the catalog again especially on credit in these hard times......its human nature.

Hiya yes Hubby got an email on Thursday confirming the order with a reference number. It does state in the small print though that this in itself does not confirm or accept the order anyway.
Good luck to you

I did not receive an acknowledgement email previously. Then this morning I got an email from studio24.
"I am pleased to confirm that your Application has been successful and would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Studio. "
I was like :laughing: until I read further.
"Sorry, the following items are not currently available & will not be sent

Anyway good luck and have fun to everyone who gets a PS3 in the mail! Guess it wasn't meant for me.

23 Oct 11#655
I also received the welcome but cannot get stock. The only way we make sure they dont benefit is to cancel your account immediately as this was clearly an instrument to get members and servicing very few with the goods. Agree with CTTM though well done to all those who receive theirs as this would have been a great deal.

ofcourse we have 50,000 active accounts when we only had 40,000 last week...
I got the same message, but now no longer able to obtain "new customer" discounts as I have an account.
mines gonna be cancelled, lets hope between us we can waste as much of their time as possible undoing their hard work promoting.

23 Oct 111#659
Email sent:-
There is nothing I despise more than companies wasting my time and that of others just to bolster their number of accounts. You should be able to find my account with the details above as it was enough to set it up. Please close my account with immediate effect. I shall not now, or ever will, use this account to purchase goods or services from you. Im very pleased to see you are a member of the FSA. They are my next port of call.
let you know if it works saves writing / sending a letter that they dont receive.

23 Oct 11#662
Right guys i had only received the first email so i rang them up and they says my order is on hold so until november first basically meaning i have got it . But they haven't taken the disocunt to make it 116.99 women syas she can only do for 129 or whatever the price was so i have to email them showing the discount because they cannot give it me until i do . So if you have not received second email ring them!!
Stardrops to amars
23 Oct 11#665
Or it could simply be on hold until you then hear from them at a later date telling you that unfortunatley despite many efforts they have been unable to secure anymore stock of the product so are therefore cancelling your order.
Beware catalogues do this all of the time and I can't see any positive reason why your order is on hold when the item was showing as in stock but has now vanished from the site altogether.
Gavin01
23 Oct 11#664
i have a feeling thats wishful thinking mate:( i bet we all get these no stock emails now.
amars
23 Oct 11#666
no she says i have the product and i could pay for it now if i wanted too but she was saying that she couldn't see the discount so i could have bought it there and then for 129
ibzzzz
23 Oct 11#667
OMG! You guys atleast got the order i got a second email saying account has been created etc and then said sorry cannot send the item due to stock!! So i called the guy and he goes call back in a few days so we can track it down? :s

Well i took the plunge and gave them a call.
My first order on Wednesday evening has been processed but in all honesty he was a little cagey as to what stage it is at, he would not commit to saying its definately going to be posted and referred me to standard delivery times apply.
My second order on Thursday evening is showing out of stock and wont be processed.
So im not going to count my chickens before they hatch but it is looking a little promising.
Gavin01
24 Oct 11#682
just rung as well and the lady said 3-5 days and it will be here.
but when i asked further questions she seemed a bit vague......
I really am hoping it will be a postive outcome but hey ho lets wait and see.
She did say she "thinks" my account has been approved but couldnt say for certain as when ive applied previously studio wouldnt give me one for some reason.
edingal
24 Oct 11#683
Just called and was told my order had been put on hold as they had no stock in, and they wouldn't know if they would get any stock until the next catalogue comes, so basically as they had no stock my order would not be fulfilled. He didn't seem to know what he was talking about. Good luck for everyone else who was told they will be getting theres.

I just called them and spoke to the most patronising man ever, he said you should have had a letter (I had not). He said I need to pay for the item before November if I want it. I told hi I did not want it any more.
The company REP scares me.
tinkerbell28
24 Oct 11#691
I wouldn't be getting worked up about. Chronological order. People who are awaiting dispatch. Haven't got the goods and may still get the cancellation email.
This is where tears start. People did say. FSA has got nowt to do with this. If people agreed and applied for a credit account. They have done no wrong there. Especially if they aren't charging for goods not despatched.
This catalogue always has been a never, never catalogue for people with crap credit. They do these stupid deals. Every now and then to farm more accounts. You didnt really think they would honour all these orders?
They are a well known ball ache company. I don't know why you bothered.

I bought mine because I don't get out very much so I thought a PS3 would make up for the staggeringly huge hole in my life. Plus I don't have much money which is why I like this site. So hopefully it will turn up. If not I'll have to go to an actual shop
bodderz

So what you're saying, Tinkerbell, is that it's a never cataloge for a mischievous group of people who refuse to pay up.
This sounds all too familiar, wouldn't you say?

Why are people ringing them.... surely by ringing them you are highlighting your account and giving them the chance to cancel it ??
I would stay silent and allow the automated process to work.....
ultimatekopite
24 Oct 11#700
People are ringing it seems if they have had nothing back at all like me. I haven't rung them yet, if letter doesn't arrive in the post by Wednesday about this I will do. I ordered when this first went up and feel a bit cheated and treated poorly whereas people found this much later on and were informed straight way of success. Shoddy Customer Service in view, would like a PS3 as i'm an Xbox man myself and would like a taste on the forbidden fruit. But will wait till price goes down or if by some luck I actually receive my order. Good luck guys, don't panic and here's hoping they pull through and don't mug us off in any way shape or form. Adios.
Scazza
25 Oct 111#702
I don't see what all the fuss is here?!
If you got the 2nd email, well done, sit back and wait up to the 14 days they quoted for delivery directly from the manufacturer.
If you didn't get the 2nd email stating your application has been successful and your order acknowledged, give them a call and they will let you know.
Some people really treat it like a matter of life and death :confused:
wahidul89 to Scazza
25 Oct 11#703
i know!! its getting tiring, i got the 1st email, got the 2nd blah blah blah, heres a copy of the email blah blah. STFU already.
I subscribed to this thread to see if anyone receives it so I can have a clue if and when mine comes but instead Im getting the same email from a different fool every 2 minutes.
Max-Power
25 Oct 112#704
you'll have to wait for the delivery note. You'll get something no doubt, but I think it'll not be what you expected if it's anything like the old xbox deal (they have something written in the T&C's that if they have no stock or not the item, you'll get a "substitute").... look out for that :smile:

i suppose the question is what would be a "substitute"?
(i) If we are unable to supply an item, a carefully selected alternative may be sent. If this alternative does not give full satisfaction then return it to us and all costs relating to that item will be refunded.
Assuming they put the PS3 on your "credit agreement" on the day they open it but then take more than one statement's period to get it delivered, the terms indicate you'd be into late fees, charges etc etc. You'd of course be in the right to try and ge them reclaimed/removed but Studio24 don't seem to have a great customer service history in that department.
Hopefully they've improved, none of this comes to pass and it all works for those who've ordered given the previous xbox scenario with this crowd. Will be a cracker of a deal if it does.

Part of the email...
our order will be dispatched in 1 parcel(s) and we will email you again when each parcel is dispatched. You will receive notification of your account number on your invoice which will be included with your first order, once this has been received, you will then be able to register online with us.

Product protection was an option to buy when going through the checkout procedure, You may have forgoten to remove it. Im sure it defaults to buy, so you need to remove it.

Just rang studio as havent heard anything, he said its marked as dispatched and should be with me on the 4th November if it doesnt arrive I am to ring them and they will look into it!! sounds a bit suspicious!! I asked him for my account number, he said he couldnt give it to me due to data protection, even though we had gone through loads of security questions and he couldnt email to me either, he said it would be sent with the item!!
I very much doubt that I will see this playstation, good luck to anyone that does!

To be fair that is a standard response. If you enquire about a delivery with Amazon, they say "if it hasn't arrived by XX date, please let us know and we will look into it".

I've brought a ps3 now from asda 320gb with battlefield 3 for £197 next day delivery. Will sell battlefield for £33 cash in cex and it's a ps3 320gb for £165...nice and no hassle. Now I got nothing back from studio 24. So I think it's best I ring them to cancel as I don't want 2 PS3. Good luck with your orders!

This morning I have received an Invoice from 24Studio which lists my order details (160gb PS3 console @ £134.99 : I didn't use the code), it also shows my account number + allow upto 21 days for delivery from order date :-)
dreamager to RiderRich
28 Oct 11#751
Was this with or without second email? I'll wait for the psot then give them a ring
RiderRich

It's a new account as I only set it up for the PS3 deal.
RiderRich
28 Oct 11#753
I had received the first email (order confirmation) & the second email (credit account acceptance).
Today I received an invoice, listing the item, account number, amount available to spend on my account, delivery times etc.
Will still have to wait and see what happens but looks a little more hopeful every day ....... Fingers crossed.
I did look at the Asda ps3 deal, which is pretty cheap but I don't want Battlefield 3 & pound for pound, if it happens, the 24studio deal is better value. Tha Asda deal has 160gb extra storage for £35 (if you sell the game) & I probably won't even fill 160gb as I have managed with my 60gb phat launch model.

Hi Rich. That's interesting to hear. I haven't received anything in the post yet. I have also just bought the 320gb deal from asda in case this studio one doesn't come off. If I end up with both of them I might hook them up to two tv's in my front room! how awesome would that be. then when I make a new friend I can invite them over to play with me.

I've just had the post today and I had nothing from Studio24. Kinda disappointed. I made the postman check through his bag to make sure. I think I kind of surprised him by answering the door before he even put the post through the letterbox! I like to do that to people, to make them think I spend all day by my door waiting for someone to knock on it.

I just assumed everyone did it from time to time. It can be really fun and also makes the time pass quite quickly while you're waiting there. It's good if you haven't got much to do!! Once, instead of opening the door before the postman knocked, I actually stuck my hand out of the letterbox!!!he just put the letters in my hand and walked away but actually I couldn't get my hand back through with the letters so i had to drop them and then open the door and pick them up so I haven't done that again.

I am having both of them delivered by post so I don't see there being any opportunities to make a new friend. The postman is very clear that he's not interested. I think I will have to put it on ebay. I know some of you are laughing at me and that's fine I'm used to it biut if you do have a idea of what it would fetch on ebay that would be great. If I listed it at £145 to get it started would that be about right? Thanks in advance

A completed listing search on ebay itself would help you get a better idea of what your likely to return.
You could always sell it on this forum...I would expect you would have plenty of takers at that price and youd avoid ebay fees

i've stopped watching loose women as I CANNOT STAND the Nolan sisters, even though they're talking about breasts. And yes I've had plenty of friends bodderz thanks. Have you?

bodderz I don't know why you keep asking me but i've already told you i have friends i just don't have friends who want to come and play computer games as they say they are children's games. I don't think tehy are. I like them and I'm 27 so how can they be just for children? a lot of my friends are older than me as I've always been very advanced for my age and quite a mature person so maybe that's why tehy don't like it. I would like to make friends with someone who plays computer games.
numptydumpty

thanks Nailez i think I will go with ebay instead then, but not until my ps3 has arrived. i bought the asda deal in the end and that's sold out now so I'm quite HAPPY!

28 Oct 111#794
ok, so I got an invoice this morning issued for 116.99, saying bla bla bla ot nothing to worry about and pay off whenever you like, right.... as i have not received a single email regarding that transaction and new account I managed to register (again???) using my account number from my invoice and 'Existing Customers, Welcome back! Please register your account if you placed your first order with Studio recently, or you haven't used your Studio account on the site before'. Finally I was taken to my account details and orders placed:
1 195-013-66QN COMPUTER GAME - PD 129.99 129.99 129.99
On the invoice it is said to allow upto 21 days for delivery, when logged into my account 'Awaiting dispatch'. As I always pay right away, however, this time I have used my credit card as you always get a better cover, when in trouble, than just a debit card. So, fingers crossed! I'll let you know when (or if) that turns up and what it is like. Hope it helped you a bit.

Received my invoice this afternoon for £116.99 dated 20/10/11 advising allow 21 days etc..
It then says .."you will receive a statement shortly telling you how and when you should pay. Your statement will show your latest orders and payments, the total amount you owe and the payment you will need to send.
To me this seems like the kind of thing you would perhaps expect to receive in the package i.e. like a packing slip? Not really sure as I don't have any catalogue accounts
numptydumpty
28 Oct 11#801
I like COD too that's why i wanted to get this ps3. i had an old fat ps3 but it broke when my house rabbit peed on the back of it. I have always had playstations right from the very first one.

actually that's a thought - I wonder if they ever have rabbit threads/deals on HUKD? I don't think i've ever seen one. I'll probably just use trade it like usual. I might get two rabbits this time and hope they last a bit longer. my rabbits don't ever seem to live for as long as people say they're meant to. if i find a good deal i will definitely put it on here.

Thank you for making the call, I got the invoice too, registered online and see its "awaiting despatch" bit early to send out an invoice when its not being delivered for 21 days :disappointed: I certainly wouldnt pay a penny to them before that !!!
brock101
28 Oct 11#837
Has no one received there ps3 yet ?
SFconvert
28 Oct 11#838
Received my invoice too, says allow 21 days for delivery (assume from invoice date though of 20th October). Bit annoyed as thought it might be with my by now - told 5-10 days when first signed up like everyone else.
Anyway have set up my account online and notice that if you try to look at statements there is nothing there yet but it states that the statement is normally produced within 21 days of RECEIPT of the goods, so no point paying until it actually turns up. Then I can just log in and pay, simples (in theory).
As an aside, a work colleague's wife uses 24Studio all the time, and says they're fine and has had no problems.
I just wish it would hurry up a turn up! This does look more and more like a simple customer drive by subsidising this PS3 to get a load of extra customers. If you think that credit card companies are willing to pay £50 cashback just for opening an account (Topcashback deal a few months ago), companies like this would be willing to chase customers for a fee as it can be quite lucrative.
bigsven
28 Oct 111#839
44.9% APR might explain why they thought it was worth selling for less - sure they'll make some money off people who can't resist the temptation of a credit account and are prepared to pay the minimum payment each month...
shaha
28 Oct 11#840
Here three. Called the make sure as the email I got from studio said allow 14 days for delivery but the invoice states 21 days. The customer adviser said the 21 days is the correct.

29 Oct 11#846
I received my invoice this morning!! I did the old front door trick with the postman again. He told me to get a life.
I've now registered as I have an account number and checked the order on the Studio website and it just says Awaiting dispatch, so the same as everyone else. I'm now eagerly 'awaiting' the 'dispatch'. Although hopefully my 320GB from asda will be delivered today. I have calculated that if I play battlefield 3 for 16 hours a day then I should be able to complete it and gain a reasonable online rank in time for when COD MW3 is released. That's 128 hours of SHEER FIRST PERSON SHOOTER ENJOYMENT HOOO-RAH even before COD is released. This is going to be THE BEST YEAR EVER

I'm getting to the stage where I'm not that hopeful really, they say they will send a statement after goods are received as its like a catalogue ac (I believe) so no need to pay beforehand. An order is an order at the end of the day and they should despatch whether you have paid in advance or not, I think if you do pay in advance it would just show as a credit on your account rather than apply to any particular purchase.

Well Gavin, like Rakim once said "Hit the studio, cos I'm paid in full"
I think the problem is that if you pay before the item is delivered and they then tell us that they can't deliver the item then it's better to have not paid as you won't have given them any money. They don't expect people to pay until they've received the goods. If you pay and don't receive what you've paid for then you have to get your money back and with these guys that's probably like trying to get a drink out of a scotsman!!! (i'm not racist - that's just a joke)

Exactly !! they must have had thousands of orders for this, big company like this, they are not going to look and say "oh look that person paid so we will send them a PS3 !!! Its stressful enough being registered with this company after seeing the comments online about them, so my card is firmly in my wallet :smiley:

I bought the Sainsbury deal last week with 2 copies of Fifa 12...for £199.99.
I think they had a 2 week return policy so ........Took both copies of Fifa 12 back to customer services ....on 2 different days ......and asked for a credit note both times and both times they refunded my credit card £42.99 each for the games.
So 160gb PS3 Slim for £114.01........BARGAIN !!!

I place an order, got the 1st email, then the 2nd email and I've received an invoice in the post.
Am I running around like a mad man?! Am I f**k! I'm just going to wait until they deliver or cancel.
I won't incur any charges as they can't charge the account until they have dispatched the goods.
The people who paid up front, Im sorry but you lot are mugs but I do hope you get your monies back.

I think the problem with this thread is that people seem to forget this is a mail order company, whether they have a website or not. Tens of pages of people whining because all they do everyday is sit on the internet wishing things were instant and things didn't take time like the good ol' days. Receiving invoices in the post?? What is this madness.
Yes their computer system isn't great, and their customer service aren't able to do much more than read off their screens, this all can be improved, but welcome to the real world, this is how a lot of companies operate. They don't have the money to spend on complete system overhauls, and yes, it does cost a lot of money despite those of you who are sure they could write a better system. You live at your computers thinking they are the real world ignoring what is actually out there and how things actually work.
Anyways rant over. Mail order company gave me goods I ordered, I am happy :smiley: Well done all who stuck with it.

You just need to make sure you pay the balance off within 21 days, provided they send you account statement of course... They don't make the money on the goods so much, they make the money on the interest as that's a massive APR and we all know how low interest rates are.
Look on the bright side, with the price of the console there will be many other people in the same boat. If they play up, if everyone complains we should be able to get them on watchdog.
Ill be interested to know If you get it without hitch

* Following despatch of your order you will receive a statement showing you how much and when to pay
You can pay in several ways:
1. Use this site to make an online payment.
2. Over the phone using our Automated Payment Service by calling the Careline on 0871 200 0378 and selecting Option 1. We accept the following cards: Visa, Visa Debit, MasterCard and Maestro. Note: Credit card payments will incur a processing charge of 1.5% of the payment value. Full details will be given at the time you make your payment.
3. At the Bank. Fill in details of the amount you are paying on the Bank Giro Slip attached to your statement and pay over the counter at your Bank.
4. By Post. You can send a cheque/Postal Order crossed and made payable to Studio, ensure you write your Account Number and your name and address on the reverse of your cheque/Postal Order & send to Studio, Preston, PR0 2BP.
spread the costYou have the opportunity to spread your payments and the flexibility to select the payment method that suits you best.
Option 1 - DIRECT DEBIT you will be sent a statement every 28 days showing the minimum payment due. For this option you will pay your installments by direct debit and every 28 days you will be charged just 2p, for every pound owing, together with a service charge on any purchase added to your balance on your previous statement from the date of despatch of each item up to that statement. There will be a minimum service charge of £1, 29.5% APR typical (variable). Written quotations available on request. For Direct Debit information call 08713 769 950.
Option 2 - you will be sent a statement every 28 days showing the minimum payment due which you will be expected to pay within 21 days. You may pay your instalments by cheque, bank giro, debit card, credit card or postal order and every 28 days you will be charged just 2.9p, for every pound owing, together with a service charge on any purchase added to your balance on your previous statement from the date of despatch of each item up to that statement. There will be a minimum service charge of £1, 44.9% APR typical (variable). Written quotations available on request.
Example credit limit of £300: if you make purchases up to the full amount of this credit limit, assuming that you repay the outstanding balance over a 12 month period by way of equal instalments (first instalment within 28 days) and that any interest rates remain the same throughout this period, the total charge for credit under the credit agreement will be £44.10 (if you pay by direct debit) and £64.55 (if you pay by other methods). The total amount payable will therefore be £344.10 (if you pay by direct debit) and £364.55 (if you pay by other methods).
There is no extra charge if you choose to pay the whole amount within 21 days. Availability of credit is subject to status and the amount of credit you have remaining on your account up to but not exceeding the credit limit we have extended to you.
Please Note: you are responsible for payments of all goods and services supplied. Should you fail to make a payment or pay less than the minimum amount due by the specified date and we or someone acting for us have to remind you to make such payment, we reserve the right to charge you default sum each time that we have to remind you, and the amount of any other losses and reasonable costs we incur as a result of your default. These will include (but are not limited to) the costs of tracing you, notifying you of your default and enforcing payment of any amount due.
Best of luck for the rest of you's
2. They check your credit history
3. If you're deemed eligible for credit, your new credit account with them is charged the price of the PS3
4. You are sent a bill saying that you have £116.99 to pay
5. You pay
DONE

wtf
It didn't ask for an e-mail or anything so I have no receipt or anything.
How long will it take before I know if I've got it or anything? Weird they asked for no E-Mail?? Anyone else have that problem????
-Kev
Damn you Pedro
According to this it is a scam website
http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews79624.html
I wonder if this is a cheap trick to get a load of new customers to bombard you with crap
Still... sounds like a company preying on the vulnerable but I’m sure you people on here are savvy enough to get your consoles and pay off the balance in full at the first opportunity. Best of luck.
Ive decided its not for me, but im still excited for the rest of you guys. Go HUKD's power lol
Hope people see it before ordering.
Think i may hae a blast on GT5 now on my "big" PS3.
Good Luck !
Rick
Studio isnt a scam but be aware they charge high admin fees if you dont pay your account off, keep it up to date. £12 for this £12 for that etc.
To people complaining about credit fees etc, just pay the bill when you get sent it. Simples.
But as some say... you have to be in it to win it !
Simple fact is...Just pay the amount when you get the statement and you'll be fine.
-Kev
But I find myself uhmming and ahhin with this deal solely based on those reviews of the company. I can afford to pay it off all in one go comfortably when the bills come through but I don't want to risk any problems with the company not accepting my payments or whatever.
Think I'd rather save my money and buy from a better reviewed company.....even though my heart really wants a PS3! =( =(
Just Ordered :laughing:
Be carefull using codes that havent been sent to you. We all know what happened with littlewoods a few years ago
Heated by 10!
Buy - pay and leave..
Bad reviews will always be left. Good reviews tend to be forgotten.
She never had any problem
PS3's are geting cheaper and cheaper every month, we'll see some great deals at Christmas for those that can wait.
DODGY....
Lots of fun and games were had by all last time these guys offered a cheap console.
Buyer Beware
Good luck.
If we all order then they dont respond to payments or as in some reviews say they have taken payment but actually dont then there is some money in it when the fees are added on top.
It can't be real can it?!? They'd have sold out by now surely to God!
If it is genuine there'll be a lot of gutted folk around who have shelled out full whack for one recently.
does that mean you need to have ordered from them before?
blatant misprice. but cant hurt to order as not even paying anything....
Can still hurt your credit file thou ;0
This isn't a glitch folks, come on...
They state it will be shipped straight from the manufacturer, i'm sure either Sony or their distributer have plenty of stock.

A dodgy retailer, I'm out.
i have never heard of this company (well before today anyway)
can I have her number?
My mum uses them, every month pretty much they will add a charge to her account, they send statements out so late that there is hardly any time/ no time to pay before getting a charge. Prices are good but they make up for it with the sneaky charges.

It's certainly a good deal, in terms of price only, but credit applications, scoring and possibly being a bit "slow" in colecting money has my spidey senses up. So no from me :-)
Just hoping to wake up tomorrow to a confirmed purchase and some more excellent deals on this site!
Gotta love HUKD!
Nite world x
Orginal poster has only just join
Marketing could of seen the frenzy the sainbury deal started last night
Credit company, although legit. Do not have a very good name.
So it's impossible for them have to seen the Sainbury's deal, then decide to sign for this site and do their own deal for marketing purposes.
Hope that all those that have taken the plunge all end up happy.
Good luck, I will wait for another deal from a more "suitable" retailer, even though this price will probably never be bettered.
Ps I used code 030 ...found it on a blog for this company...got the 10% off plus free delivery, so £116 for me too :smiley:
Checkout this thread from almost 4 years ago...

A dodgy catalogue company, renowned for high prices and charges on the never-never.
Good luck them honouring this...£130 must be very close to trade price.
how do I cancel?
I'm starting to wish I hadn't ordered too... but I bet someone ordered bulk for fleabay.
I realise the company may have previous' but as a matter of fact the supposed deal/price is available.
Order at your own risk I guess....
The one thing that concerns me is that the ps3 is listed on the games section rather than with the other consoles...:neutral_face:
I have ordered, nonetheless.
so sod it ill take a chance with her account
ps none of the codes are working , there just giving free delivery
Reviews
Not going to risk it!!!
Dont want it to be a MASSIVE REGRET!!!
??????????????/
im tryin to do it without making an account for credit with them is that ok ?/ have you ordered your ps3
I used the discount code from this post and it gave me 10% off and free delivery. Just to confirm I filled out the form for a new customer and this is my first order.
Still not sure if to order???
http://homeshopping.24studio.co.uk/cuk/entertainment/video-games/sony-ps3-games/80/playstation-3-160gb-console-ps3/1
Now that it has a code to make it even less I have decided to give it a go. I have just placed an order for one using 019code on the final order page for 10% off plus free delivery. £116.99
Fingers crossed.
Now how to explain this to the wife if it does turn up?
I was waiting for a xbox deal, I have a dying ps3 fat and have ordered this as replacement. My ps3 fat intermitently "blinks" the screen flickers now and then (and is fine for up to 10-20 mins) Is this a common problem?? I wonder if I could trade this in for a new xbox anywhere?
straight way
:confused:
of the credit account
heres hoping be a nice xmas present to me.
un-expire please!
1) Has any body used this site before? Are they legit?
2) What's their returns policy?
probably been asked/answered but too many comments have passed!
I ain't buying that and btw It's NOT expired and neither has the code.
Obviously this might be a price error in which case the orders may be cancelled thats the only problem i can see.
Plus, when going for loans, credit cards you will have to declare you had / have store credit account.
Hopefully you will all be fine and get your good no problem, If I did not have a PS3 maybe I would of seen it different....

Added to basket and gone through to the new customer page..
The question is, will they honour it?
I'm gonna get a PS3 for 117 smackeroonies!!!
ha ha ha
ha ha ha
A few snotty letters with threat ended it but it took some time. Not sure I want to go there again!
Oddly, they have recently been sending me catalogues so guess they got my name & address somehow.
Cheers for the headsup OP lets hope they honor the £117 ps3 price lol
Can we just send the full payment straight away for these guys too? Is there any evidence of hassle after someone paying in full up front?
hot! hot! hot! :smiley:
People who got in early maybe lucky.
In the mean time, a credit search and account on your crf's. Then a hell of a lot of potential hassle.
Think I'm going to have to skip it before the tears come.
@Tinks a credit search is nothing unless your constantly getting denied for some reason and should not cause hassle at all or you would NEVER be able to get credit in the first place. As for tears possibly but got to be in it to win it as for me if it works out then w00t if not o well its just another misprice that didnt get honoured.
1, Offer a cheap deal sign up loads of people who may use the credit to finance xmas and buy more.
2, Misprice
3, Cancel orders but give people account hope they use it.
I need a reputable online retailer price match.
Just my Opinion
i dont know why people keep talking out of their hole in this thread
PS 2 SLIM?????????
no, noooo , nooooooooooooooooo!!!!
Plus since when did a PS2 have a harddrive
:smile:
Time intensive and not worth the hassle IMO. If anybody manages to get their PS3 for £116.99 then fair play, but personally I'd rather pay the extra for piece of mind (there's been supermarket deals nationwide selling the 160GB for ~£160-170). Not to mention that if you read the last 'big offer' thread from 24Studio that got hot on HUKD, people bought 250GB Xbox 360s with Kinect but were switch-sold 4GB versions.
According to that thread some people still hadn't had a satisfactory resolution two months after the initial post. Not to mention that 24Studio didn't even have stock of the 250GBs yet kept taking more and more and more orders. Is it worth wasting that amount of time to-ing and fro-ing with phone calls and emails for the chance to save £50? Or would it not be quicker, easier and safer to shell out a little more and have the product in hand today?
I guess that's for you lot to decide - but forewarned is forearmed.
I don't care what tatics they use, I'll not pay a penny more than £116.99
As for payment well you can call the amount you get the thing and pay over the phone they cannot deny then :smiley:
Just make sure you pay it off in a bank the moment the statement arrives, as then you should have a receipt and proof that you've paid it.
There's always safety in numbers, if one or two were ordering they might be able to pull over you the coals. But if hundreds or thousands order...
Hope this works. But you have to try each potential miss price.
£191.99 from Play
No from me
But as always:
"email is an acknowledgment that we have received your order. It does not form an order confirmation or acceptance of order."
i never applied for anything.... I just wanted to pay by card!
They already have form with the 250GB 360 'offer'. There's no evidence to suggest that this won't be exactly the same scenario. Heat on HUKD has utterly zero relation to the credibility of the company involved.
I walked past a huge stack of 160GB consoles on a pallet in the Basingstoke branch of Morrisons the other week which were reduced to £160. Fairly sure that was a nationwide deal posted on here. Perhaps they're not that price any more but won't be far off. Even given the choice of paying £180 or risking it with 24Studio I still know what I'd do. £117 is a worthless price if they don't have the stock (and I'd bet you the price of a PS3 they don't).
There's a reason retailers don't sell PS3s at this price and for the small percentage of people that will eventually get one ridiculously cheaply there'll be many more for whom this becomes an absolute ballache. You pays your money (when they let you), you takes your choice (if they ever chase down the stock) but in the words of a grumpy Scottish entrepeneur, "Ahm oot".
Hope they honour it.
If in doubt, speak to KARL! :P

Will wait and see...too good a deal to miss out on, especially when Im after one anyway.
welcome to hukd :man:
Ever stopped to think about if it IS honoured though how gutted you would feel for missing out?
If it was a straight purchase, fine, im in.. but!
It's having my name associated with them in respect a line of credit that becomes the issue.. constant mail outs, screw up's with accounts, wrong goods sent.... proof is plastered all over google.
Having your name associated with a company that if it doesnt go through only has a record of you applying for credit and getting approved would actually be a good thing as its a plus on your account for having a zero balance with a catalogue company or am I missing something there?
I'll let this lie as there is no point in bantering back and forth, personal views etc....
Keep it all on track re the product in question, so please let us all know via here if and when someone gets to base 2, 3 and 4 hopefully! again GL!
and I ordered one last night...
@Stray aye thats the deal I looked for PS3 for £200 with "any" 2 games but where it was messing up and trying to charge 114 or so if you tried 2xfifa12. Wasnt in my local unfortunately or would have gone for that also as that was certain.
Will keep you informed !
p.s. hmm... guess i'm just not good in trollin... better leave it to the pros... :stuck_out_tongue:
*probably
Would be interested to hear from the people who already had an account, as to what it says on the status when they sign in.
Sorry.....We are sorry you have arrived at a page that has gone into hiding.'
Love the wording - its gone into hiding - its on the run - the deal has gone underground
:smile:
Read up on credit score rejections. :man:
Yeah - who wont be scared to pass your details to a 3rd party debt collector even when you owe nothing.
Just the actual credit search, by the company. The outcome isn't recorded. It's having too many searches, rather than rejections that affects your cf. As it makes you look desperate or fraudulent applying for many credit accounts at a time. Rejected people are more likely to do this. The rejection dosen't matter, as it isn't disclosed.
Then, having too many accounts, etc.
So if people have gone for this and been rejected, highly unlikely they'll reject anyone. But the search won't make a difference if it's rejected or not. It's just a recorded search.
This is what I was told, when we started looking at mortgages, watch the amount of searches you have, even if you know you will get accepted (never been rejected yet). Mobiles, cards, bank accs, catalogues, utilities etc. It's the searches that are the issue. Thought I'd clarify above info. But Rick T is right. Recent credit searches, do affect your ability to borrow from other lenders. As it's the searches which are looked at.
Thank you for shopping with Studio.

Happy happy!!!!!
Any tracking available?
Still will only believe it when it turns up.
Not even sure I want one - damn you HOTUKDEALS!
Direct Dispatch from Manufacturer - Please allow 14 days.
I'll be emailed again once they have been dispatched :smile:
Bad part is I ordered two as my credit got shot to hell with losing my job so I will be making a tiny bit on the 2nd console no doubt.
...ahh, just realised how many others already posted the wording...ah well
Fingers crossed peeps !!!!
wonder if they have enough?
ps how do we log into our accounts? ive got no details to log in with?
Do these come with remotes for using blu ray? from the sofa?
cheers
Hope it comes through.
I AM NOW VERY HOPEFULL!!!!
how do we log into out accounts or do those details follow?
What the lady said is that today they sent a letter out to me today, instead of giving me credit they want full payment in advance (£129.99), once I've paid they'll process the order then when I receive it, I'll need to claim the 10% back using the invoice later on.
So definitely looks promising!!
edit i see what you mean now!
I just went for the option to speak to someone directly.
Did you believe me for a sec? Shame on you!
could you be any more 1990s???
could you beeeee any more 1990s???
Credit checks may be carried out by a third party in an automated fashion, and the staff you speak to on the phone may be unaware of correct product prices. And it's a no-brainer that credit checks and account creation will happen before your order is processed.
Just because your application for an account has been accepted, does not mean they will process your order, even more so when on credit.
Forgot to add I am linked to Experian and there was a search done by them but it only says searched for a gift card account - nothing more.

Not sure if this is down to credit rating (brother is a home owner and am a student) or due to the 10% code (i think some who used the 10% code received a second email). It could also be due to timing (i ordered mine first, within the first 2 hours)
If not then nothing lost at all, I can see this thread running and running though :-)
IT IS HAPPENING!
at best everyone gets their ps3 for £116.99 and at worst we get a bunch of emails/catalouges from them, nothing to lose really :smiley:
Well, other than me who had the CEO personally deliver it after his shift
I am being told I can track my order from my account online, but I can't login without an account number, and the only way to get my account number is by reading it off the paperwork in the box.
also i asked for my account number but apparently due to the data protection act they cannot give it over the phone or email it to the registered email address (which is a bit stupid in my opinion) but she said she will send it out via post.
They said the order was held due to only have been given a 100 pound credit (no idea why it's so low!) whereas my order costs a 117. I ended up having to pay 29 pounds over the phone since the original price 129 for them to release my order. It will take a maximum of 3 days for my payment to go through at which point they'll send the ps3 with my invoice totaling approx 88 pounds.
This has the potential of turning into a headache but I guess we'll see what happens!
I dont think sony will have a deal with 24studio to allow 24studio to place the orders in Sony's supplier directly.
I dont believe Sony will allow the factory, as their supplier, to deliver the products to the final customers through the retailer such as 24studio.
Don't forget the factory probable is not in the UK, so the shipment cost is even higher than warehouse for individual ps3.
On the plus side the amount of people that have ordered them could pursuaded them to honor the price if indeed it was a error.
Plus out of all the people who ordered one, many will probably use the catalog again especially on credit in these hard times......its human nature.
Sorry, the following items are not currently available & will not be sent
Sorry, we are unable to obtain stock for the following:

I had an email saying my order has been processed (like the others posted on here) with a invoice number etc. Just deciding whether to wait or go to Sainsburys and get the £200 deal....
Good luck to you
I got the same. credit account approved. but ps3 out off stock.
can someone be kind enough to post the procedure to cancel my account with this company. I'm sure it will be useful to more than just me.
"I am pleased to confirm that your Application has been successful and would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Studio. "
I was like :laughing: until I read further.

Then I was GUTTED. :disappointed:
Any harm with not cancelling my account?
Anyway good luck and have fun to everyone who gets a PS3 in the mail! Guess it wasn't meant for me.
I placed another order late thursday after the deal expired as there was a ps3 showing in my basket. I havent recvd any emails about that one yet.
ofcourse we have 50,000 active accounts when we only had 40,000 last week...
I got the same message, but now no longer able to obtain "new customer" discounts as I have an account.
mines gonna be cancelled, lets hope between us we can waste as much of their time as possible undoing their hard work promoting.
There is nothing I despise more than companies wasting my time and that of others just to bolster their number of accounts. You should be able to find my account with the details above as it was enough to set it up. Please close my account with immediate effect. I shall not now, or ever will, use this account to purchase goods or services from you. Im very pleased to see you are a member of the FSA. They are my next port of call.
let you know if it works saves writing / sending a letter that they dont receive.
Beware catalogues do this all of the time and I can't see any positive reason why your order is on hold when the item was showing as in stock but has now vanished from the site altogether.
I have a feeling a lot of us wont even get these.
Oh well it was worth a try!
My first order on Wednesday evening has been processed but in all honesty he was a little cagey as to what stage it is at, he would not commit to saying its definately going to be posted and referred me to standard delivery times apply.
My second order on Thursday evening is showing out of stock and wont be processed.
So im not going to count my chickens before they hatch but it is looking a little promising.
but when i asked further questions she seemed a bit vague......
I really am hoping it will be a postive outcome but hey ho lets wait and see.
She did say she "thinks" my account has been approved but couldnt say for certain as when ive applied previously studio wouldnt give me one for some reason.
i ordered on 19th around noon and got 2nd email on 21st
Accepted on 21/10 @0829hrs
I received the 2nd acceptance email on 21/10/2011 at 10.33hrs
The company REP scares me.
This is where tears start. People did say. FSA has got nowt to do with this. If people agreed and applied for a credit account. They have done no wrong there. Especially if they aren't charging for goods not despatched.
This catalogue always has been a never, never catalogue for people with crap credit. They do these stupid deals. Every now and then to farm more accounts. You didnt really think they would honour all these orders?
They are a well known ball ache company. I don't know why you bothered.
This sounds all too familiar, wouldn't you say?
I would stay silent and allow the automated process to work.....
If you got the 2nd email, well done, sit back and wait up to the 14 days they quoted for delivery directly from the manufacturer.
If you didn't get the 2nd email stating your application has been successful and your order acknowledged, give them a call and they will let you know.
Some people really treat it like a matter of life and death :confused:
I subscribed to this thread to see if anyone receives it so I can have a clue if and when mine comes but instead Im getting the same email from a different fool every 2 minutes.
... but you can return it, and challenge it. I know the procedure now, so will advise if need be!

(i) If we are unable to supply an item, a carefully selected alternative may be sent. If this alternative does not give full satisfaction then return it to us and all costs relating to that item will be refunded.
Assuming they put the PS3 on your "credit agreement" on the day they open it but then take more than one statement's period to get it delivered, the terms indicate you'd be into late fees, charges etc etc. You'd of course be in the right to try and ge them reclaimed/removed but Studio24 don't seem to have a great customer service history in that department.
Hopefully they've improved, none of this comes to pass and it all works for those who've ordered given the previous xbox scenario with this crowd. Will be a cracker of a deal if it does.
our order will be dispatched in 1 parcel(s) and we will email you again when each parcel is dispatched. You will receive notification of your account number on your invoice which will be included with your first order, once this has been received, you will then be able to register online with us.
im still hoping but the hope is fading .........................studio are certainly good at building the tension up lol
Anyone else?
This was due to "a signature was required"
PS I used code 30 which is on their blog for new customers to use...not code 19 which I dont know where came from
It just showing waiting despatch and even I use code 019, they didn't give me the 10% discount but I did have it free delivery.
I very much doubt that I will see this playstation, good luck to anyone that does!
Today I received an invoice, listing the item, account number, amount available to spend on my account, delivery times etc.
Will still have to wait and see what happens but looks a little more hopeful every day ....... Fingers crossed.
I did look at the Asda ps3 deal, which is pretty cheap but I don't want Battlefield 3 & pound for pound, if it happens, the 24studio deal is better value. Tha Asda deal has 160gb extra storage for £35 (if you sell the game) & I probably won't even fill 160gb as I have managed with my 60gb phat launch model.
Just checking mate
And lol @ numpty dumpty
Registered details and logged into my account and it says the order is awaiting dispatch so fingers crossed that changes to 'dispatched' within a couple of days! I will pay the amount when I have the PS3 in my hands.
Hopefully won't get hit with any charges now.
A completed listing search on ebay itself would help you get a better idea of what your likely to return.
You could always sell it on this forum...I would expect you would have plenty of takers at that price and youd avoid ebay fees

On the invoice it is said to allow upto 21 days for delivery, when logged into my account 'Awaiting dispatch'. As I always pay right away, however, this time I have used my credit card as you always get a better cover, when in trouble, than just a debit card. So, fingers crossed! I'll let you know when (or if) that turns up and what it is like. Hope it helped you a bit.
Fingers crossed.
Sorry, but I'm not going to offer to come round your house and play with you.
It then says .."you will receive a statement shortly telling you how and when you should pay. Your statement will show your latest orders and payments, the total amount you owe and the payment you will need to send.
To me this seems like the kind of thing you would perhaps expect to receive in the package i.e. like a packing slip? Not really sure as I don't have any catalogue accounts
he's been dead for a while
No, the rabbit didn't die from the ps3. He escaped through the fence into next door's backgarden and we think their greyhound ate him.
RIP Clive. You'll always be in my heart.
I'm hoping I get my invoice tomorrow. Either way though my asda deal is meant to be delivered tomorrow so hopefully i will be playing on battlefield 3 by tomorrow afternoon!!! I CAN"T WAIT
One thing though - in the text of the letter it says "The total amount to pay is £116.99. "[great!] "You current have £183 left to spend" [err?]
Things that make you go hmm.. anyone know what that means? Anyone else's say that?
Anyway have set up my account online and notice that if you try to look at statements there is nothing there yet but it states that the statement is normally produced within 21 days of RECEIPT of the goods, so no point paying until it actually turns up. Then I can just log in and pay, simples (in theory).
As an aside, a work colleague's wife uses 24Studio all the time, and says they're fine and has had no problems.
I just wish it would hurry up a turn up! This does look more and more like a simple customer drive by subsidising this PS3 to get a load of extra customers. If you think that credit card companies are willing to pay £50 cashback just for opening an account (Topcashback deal a few months ago), companies like this would be willing to chase customers for a fee as it can be quite lucrative.
Hope full but not going to hold my breath.
Edit just seen a note on the floor from yodel who left something at the rear yesterday!!?? at the rear of what!?
do yodel deliver for studio?
Yodel/HDNL deliver for studio
I've now registered as I have an account number and checked the order on the Studio website and it just says Awaiting dispatch, so the same as everyone else. I'm now eagerly 'awaiting' the 'dispatch'. Although hopefully my 320GB from asda will be delivered today. I have calculated that if I play battlefield 3 for 16 hours a day then I should be able to complete it and gain a reasonable online rank in time for when COD MW3 is released. That's 128 hours of SHEER FIRST PERSON SHOOTER ENJOYMENT HOOO-RAH even before COD is released. This is going to be THE BEST YEAR EVER
I think the problem is that if you pay before the item is delivered and they then tell us that they can't deliver the item then it's better to have not paid as you won't have given them any money. They don't expect people to pay until they've received the goods. If you pay and don't receive what you've paid for then you have to get your money back and with these guys that's probably like trying to get a drink out of a scotsman!!! (i'm not racist - that's just a joke)
