Introduce yourself to the sleek Sony PlayStation 3 Slim Game Console, featuring an advanced design that's smaller, lighter and more power-efficient than previous models, plus sophisticated internet, multimedia and Blu-ray capabilities that make it much more than just a groundbreaking games console. This model features a 160GB hard drive.

With serious power under its stylish hood, including IBM's Cell processor and a Sony/NVidia co-developed graphics processor that makes this system able to whizz through two trillion calculations per second, the PlayStation 3 Slim Game Console is 340 times as fast as the PlayStation 2.

A high-end multimedia super-performer ready to take its place at the heart of your home entertainment system, the Sony PlayStation 3 Slim Game Console uses the Blu-ray Disc media format, which can hold up to six times the amount of data as DVDs, to support increasingly amazing game-playing, as well as state-of-the-art movie watching - including support for 3D movies. Coupled with its processing power and advanced graphics processing, the potential of this sytem is almost unlimited, with jaw-dropping 3D and augmented reality games already arriving in stores and plenty more to come as its capabilities are explored by developers. Its revolutionary new controller contains an increadisensitive, accurate six-axis sensing system.

Use code 019 for 10% off and free delivery-essentially bringing the deal down to £116.99 DELIVERED.

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 !!!

Megalols at everyone who has reached panic stations, but seriously calm down.

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.

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.

Yeah, got the feelers out to Sony too. They used to do a really good service in the YLOD days where they would courier a replacement to you and take the broken one, suspect that might not be in effect any more.

A sad epilogue for me - I got the PS3 but it has the dreaded dual-layer Blu-Ray read problem so I can't play games like LA Noire or God of War III. Off to brave the wilds of 24Studio's return dept. Pray for me!

I have just logged into my STUDIO account and seen that to make a payment you go through NETBANX which i guess would mean it can't have been through Studio but i just can't remember if that was in place when i made my payment.

Once i know for sure the source i will delete these posts.

I don't suppose anyone else who ordered and paid from this site has been a victim of banking/identity fraud recently?

I very much doubt it but just throwing this out there in case.

I myself have been raped blind last week and the only reason i suspect STUDIO is they are the only people who i have made a payment with my bank card rather than my credit card recently apart from legitimate direct debits etc.

Reason i suspect them is:

A. Had to make account so maybe they got details through this process.
B. As above - used bank card to make payment.

As no one else has mentioned this by it now would seem it has nothing to do with them.
Thought i'd try anyway.

Well that sucks, unlucky :/ d'ya think I could claim my money back from them as they say they didn't send me a ps3?

23 Nov 11 #1317
Well its all ended in tears for me unfortunately

After ordering about 5-6 weeks ago, they are saying tough titties - its permanently out of stock - they don't care if I placed my order when it was fully in stock - they deny that anyone has been sent the PS3 for that price

What a terrible, terrible company

I meant the actual power and eject buttons light up on the old slim in addition to the little LED above them, and the old ones had a HDD and WiFi light next to the USB ports.
sabz786
16 Nov 11 #1308
I quite like the design, much smaller than my old Xbox, mines does have a eject button and a hdd light underneath the top panel?
Mallinersha
16 Nov 11 #1307
So it seems these are the very latest/cheaply made PS3's, no eject button/power lights, no wifi light no fancy gun-metal trim...

Gosh they look so cheap compared to the 60gb phat. Even to the first slims that came out!

Rich,

Whilst I don't have my slim yet!!, that was the first thing my brother noticed/complained about with the slim ps3s... Their build is shoddy compared to the fats, features are less and they are actually noisier (or seem to be) when reading data from the disc!
RiderRich
15 Nov 11 #1300
I have just started I using mine and have found that when the disc drive is accessing the disc, either on starting a game or during gameplay (mw3) the drive seems quite loud.

Does anyone else have this? I had an original 60gb phat and although the fans on it were louder than the new slim, the slim is louder when accessing the disc. Similar sound to an old inkjet printer??

Thanks

Rich

I've checked mine and they are 100% genuine UK models. You can tell this because it has "CEK" on the bottom Sony barcode label.

DPD also delivered mine to the wrong address on the first attempt. A different driver did the second delivery.
Winspiration
15 Nov 11 #1298
Well, I finally got my PS3 today, although I very nearly didn't get it at all. The delivery guy told my GF that I should have received it last week, but it was delivered to the wrong address! A bunch of parcels got delivered to a business firm about five or six miles away from me, and my PS3 was included in the parcels left. Luckily someone there notified DPD of the error and they went and picked it up for it to be delivered to me. Amateurs!

Thanks OP.

Thats why.... no loans or credit = zero credit rating... having not had any credit in the past makes you much as a risk as someone who defaulted on payments.... its impossible to assess the risk of someone who's never had credit.

Best option is to get a credit card and use it for purchases and then to pay it off in full as you use it to build a credit report file.

My Son was refused to a bad credit rating. Has no loans etc. He is in employment. So don't know where they got that from.

I had the exact same issue with iplayer. Follow these instructions and it will work:

Go to the Games tab of the XMB, then move up/down to the PSN Store icon. Wait for the 6 adverts to appear to the side. I actually navigated around these too, I don't know if that was necessary. Then move back to to new TV tab of the XMB and voilà,the “my channels” icon is present.

Just be careful though guys, you don't get an invoice through with the PS3 as stated, you need to check all the Christmas stuff they have sent out for your Account number, otherwise after 1/12/11, interest will be charged!

for those waiting for delivery from dpd - have you tried calling them:

abulkasam - Nov 11, 2011 10:48
I'm on the DPD system - ignore the tracking number. Call them on 08445560560 and eventually speak to a person. Using your postcode, the lady was able to track. It's out for delivery with a specific 1 hour time window. You can even leave a message to leave with any particular neighbour if you are going to be out.

Well done to those who got them - well worth the risk for you - glad it paid off...- Like i said before, it was only £116 so not really high risk in terms of value and would of been worth the wait for Dec..

Its kind of funny that some people got worry and jumped ship cancelling their orders....

Funnily enough I received my PS3 yesterday and a letter today regarding cancelling my order/closing my account.

It basically said that they have been in touch with the appropriate dept but cannot guarantee it would be cancelled before dispatch. If I receive it in the mean time I can phone up for it to be collected.

After the PS3 was delivered I checked my online account and it showed the balance for the PS3 but said £0 is due until the next statement. I decided as it was showing the cost of the PS3 I would just pay straight away. Payment went through ok and said it would show on my account in 3 days.

I've not received an invoice. I had a catalogue with a credit agreement form for me to complete and return (which I haven't...), not of the paperwork that came with the catalogue had an account number on it. Strange....

The delivery note doesn't seem to contain an account number that I can see.

I had the same issue, no invoice with the delivered PS3 but then I checked the paperwork in a smaller christmas catalogue that came on the same day (not the fat catalogue that I received a week ago) and it had a paper in it with the account number on it. But this number was nowhere to be found on the paper coming with the PS3.

I think you have to wait for payment to clear (3 days supposedly) and then you can close your account. I would do it in writing as doing things by phone with them seems to have absolutely no effect whatsoever

Because the original one I bought was faulty kept switching off so they swapped it then they changed the reciept but the new reciept only showed the console at £199.99 and no games so in theory I have got a ps3 and two top games for £116.99 what a bargain of the year

10 Nov 11 #1187
Savo one of two options keep it and let the kids use and possibly sell the blueray player (although personally i wouldnt use the PS3 as a standalone player it will wear the lazer more)

OR

sell it on and make a little bit of profit as its an extremly good price (roughly £40+ profit)

already got an xbox in the front & back room + a subscription to Love Film on my s380 bluray player. How can I justify keeping this? Should I give my parents the s380 & keep the PS3, I watch a bit of downloaded stuff via an external hard drive, would this work as well on the ps3? I don't play a lot of games but have 3 young kids who might use it in the future. I think HUKD is turning me into Mr Greedy.

that's true actually! I'll check mine out when I get home. My previous slim PS3 though had 2.65 (2.x anyway) firmware on it which was great, that was a 120GB one though...
abulkasam
10 Nov 11 #1129
I too got dispatch note - will go home at lunchtime see if its arrived.

Don't forget to pay them to avoid interest payments!

How are people paying off the account? Now online? Or will you wait for the "Statement"? Is there a statement with the parcel?

Finally considering the offer, the turnaround this is turning out to be a great deal. Patience...

MartH

I just logged into my account and paid the balance using my credit card. It said I could expect the payment to show on my account in 3 working days. Knowing Studio it will take 3 weeks if it appears at all, that's why I used my credit card and not a debit card. I still don't trust them, even though I have a shiny PS3 sat in front of me.

I rang up and cancelled my order over the phone on 1st November. I did the same on the 8th. Today is the 10th November and the order is delivered. I don't think it's unreasonable to have expected my order to be cancelled, whether they're mail order or not. That's just basic.
MartH
10 Nov 11 #1119
Please can someone explain how payment works?

I have never bought anything on credit before, let alone from Studio.

Do I have to wait for my statement to arrive in the post before I can make payment?

10 Nov 11 8 #1105
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.

Just had the item dispatched email myself, did a double take when I saw it! The dispatch email says the item is £129.99, whilst the credit outstanding amount shows as £116.99. I know a few people on here said they had issues with them honouring the discount code, but it looks like they've done it for me!

Maybe I was a little premature to write this deal off in previous posts, let's see what happens!

Can i ask........ why are people cancelling their orders if they have been given a dispatch date of 9th Dec ? Yes its a few weeks away, but its only £116 in some cases and long term would be worth the savings ?

Also.... im sure your aware, all the other PS3 on their site are showing in stock.....-- how about requesting a like for like option which is in stock ?

Cheers

I called them last week (Tues 1st) after paying then finding out I wasn't going to get one shipped.

I then demanded my money back, the person on the phone said it can take a week or two to happen. So I was about to call them yesterday, but I checked my bank account and saw the money had been returned, I then logged onto the website to find I had £0 credit.

I'd give it a week from the moment you called to get your money back, and do a check like I had before pestering them again.

Luckily today, Studio have paid back the £129.99 I paid up front for the PS3. I'll never deal with the company again.

In the end, I gave in on the Sainsbury's £200 deal, and I'm cashing on FIFA and Battlefield for £60.

From now on, I'll definitely only shop at reputable places.

I rang them on 1.11.11 to cancel my order over the phone. Was told that was fine but it would take 3 days. Rang them back today (8.11.11) after checking my online account and seeing it still had a balance of 116.99. The person I spoke to was called Natalie. Refused to give her last name. Said that it was taking longer than usual but she didn't know why, but said it would be cancelled by the end of the week. I then emailed them a copy of that conversation and asked that they acknowledged receipt of the email, which they haven't yet. If my order has not been cancelled by Monday 14th I will start contacting Trading Standards and the FSA ombudsman, and I told them that in the email I sent today. I have also got the names of directors and other board members for the parent company. The way they are behaving is outrageous.

Thank you for your advice, very helpful, she actually said that they put this down as a personalised item, but she couldnt understand why they did this, but your post explains it, they are being crafty !! I might consider accepting it, selling it on and paying off the account straight away, otherwise I can see it might be problematic. I emailed them over a week ago and guess what...no reply!

I cancelled this item a week ago, was told to phone back after 2 days to cancel my account. Phoned back and was told to call back in 7 days. Called today and was told the item "might not be able to be cancelled as its a "personalised item" !!!! What a con, just hope I get the out of stock letter now. The lady did say that if it's delivered, I should accept it and not refuse delivery because then it could be stolen, she said its better to accept it and then return it !!! I have cancelled it as it was a pressie for my son's birthday and the delivery is now too late:( Totally bad company I wish I had never ordered:(
MartH to croydebay21

They cannot force you to accept a delivery if you have cancelled the order before dispatch. They cannot claim the item might be stolen if you refuse delivery - it is there responsibility to ensure the order is either delivered or returned to them via their designated courier.

This is certainly not a personalised product in any shape or form. Do not keep phoning them back, send them an e-mail or write them a letter and keep a copy of everything you send. Stand your ground, you are well within your rights.

If you do accept the delivery, I doubt they will let you return the item without you taking legal action. They have told you this is a personalised order, which is excluded from their returns policy. See "NON-RETURNABLE GOODS" - http://www.24studio.co.uk/ss/help/help.jsp?page=terms&part=returns

Thanks so much for the spam, everyone.

Thanks for posting so many of the same exact comments merely written in a different way.

Thanks for posting so many irrelevant stories unrelated to the seller or the item being sold, or the many comments basically saying 'I have cancelled my order' but prolonging these comments to the point of excessive text and making it into more of a monologue of your life.

No doubt my comment here is going to be flamed, possibly even removed, and flaming comments will be liked and quoted in support of those flaming me.

I've reported this thread as containing a lot of spam - but nothing will be done about it.

On a side note: thanks to all those posting relevant information about how to contact the seller and approximate dates of dispatch, in addition to helping out with other concerns with this purchase.

I didn't know whether to end this on
'Flame on' or 'Let the flames begin'!

Wow, 3 likes o.o

I was expecting a lot more 'flaming'.

52 pages in. Did anyone who ordered read some of the posts while this thread was still reasonably new and think "Maybe I shouldn't order from this crowd". Particularly given they seem to have done some shady "stock unavailable after you order" stuff before and have some less than favourable reviews listed against them.

That said, you never know. Perhaps a tranche of PS3s will turn up on 9th December and all the orders will get honoured. Hopefully they do.

I have never received formal notice from them that delivery will be delayed, it may say that on the order on the website, but I would have expected to have received an e-mail notification or a letter informing me of their supply problems.

The onus would appear to be on them to inform and not on us to find out - if nothing else it is a good argument :-)

I've found this quote on the Sale of Goods Act when dealing online.
Under the distance selling regulations, the goods must be delivered or the service carried out within the time period they have specified. If no time period is specified, then the statutory time limit is 30 days (unless you have agreed otherwise). If the supplier is unable to fulfil their obligations within 30 days, they must inform you before the end of the 30 day deadline. They may offer you an alternative date for delivery, but you are under no obligation to accept and are quite within your rights to ask for a full refund.

I don't believe that after 30 days you can buy it elsewhere and claim the difference. Besides they have informed us before the 30 days that delivery is expected in December. As along as they keep updating us with a date then we have no comeback apart from having the right to cancel.

Just got a call back from the manger, was told i would get a letter in the post in the next 7-14 days informing me the item is out of stock, and the supplier will re-supply some time in December. I think she said 9 December.

So those who are prepared to wait (although December date is likely to change to), may get one. bearing in mind, they don't ask for no money untill item is delievered, so you have nothing to loose (other than time).
s2frost to yaf1111
3 Nov 11 #1018
I bet they don't. The credit account was debited once your invoice was sent. Your 54 or so days before interest is added starts right there. Good luck with that. Thankfully at that point, you have a contract for them to provide the goods within a reasonable period of time, which under the circumstances happens to be 30 days, after this time they are liable to pay your costs in fulfilling the contract elsewhere. See my later post and thank your UK consumer law.
s2frost
3 Nov 11 2 #1017
Hello all.

Just to let you know:

Once the contract of sale is in force (you have paid or your credit account has been debited or you have received an invoice) then you are entitled to receive your PS3 within the agreed time or if no such time was agreed then the statutory term is 30 days.

Since they will not at present even receive stock within 30 days, so long as you first contact them in good faith and ask them to remedy the situation, upon non delivery (delivery outside the agreed period) since this would be a breach of the contract which exists between you, you are entitled to seek a remedy under the sale of goods act, to make good, one of which includes but is not limited to:

- You may: Buy the goods on the open market (Amazon) paying the current (full) market price.
- You can: Send them the bill for costs including any other costs you reasonably incurred resulting from their breach of contract.

So if you are willing to wait up to 30 days from the date of placing your order, you can simply go out to Sainsburys and pick it up (if you can cover the cost where you already paid off the credit agreement).

It should be noted that if you bought the goods on credit, their claim (of debt) against you would in any case not be enforcable since the goods were never delivered.Just make sure you do not accept any subsequent delivery (you do not have to.)

Furthermore DO NOT PAY OFF YOUR CREDIT ACCOUNT WITH THEM IN CASH. If you must pay it, pay it with another credit card. The reason for this is that if you DO pay off the credit agreement and the company folds without your having received a PS3, it will be unlikely you will see either the console or your cash.

Note: If you paid your Studio24 balance by credit card you are covered doubly via your card's credit agreement, and in any case by the consumer credit act in both cases.

Ultimately if you don't get a PS3 within 30 days, it's ultimately their problem, make sure you communicate this to them, and I'm certain they will see sense in simply making it right.

The information I have stated here is freely available in various different forms at UK government consumer sites if they need a pointer.

Surely they're hoping a few people will cancel first.

Don't forget, keep a full log of any contact you have and their responses, as well as to keep copies of your agreements, orders and invoices.

Hope this helps. Good luck. Stay on it and enjoy your PS3!

Hopefully they will remedy this whole mess for the lot of us, it wouldn't do their reputation any good, and would be far more costly to see lots of negative comments on the internet.

Just been in my local Sainsbury's and the nice young assistant told me that they no longer are offering PS3 (with bundled game) deals BUT he did say, in hushed and whispered tones that there will be a deal being offered over the next few weeks (or end of november) of, wait for it,

25% off all ps3 consoles

Definitely nationwide instore but not sure if available online.

What's the chances of Studio having some similar deal with Sony for around the same time which fits in with the delivery times now being stated by Studio?

Just a thought!!!

I called last night and spoke to them and the guy didnt know "why on earth i would want to cancel as it WILL arrive in 14 days therefore it should be with me by this weekend at the latest" - his system said so...... cant wait for this weekend my husband will be so happy playing his new ps3 that will arrive tomorrow (the guy guaranteed it....) - just goes to show what a sham this is as i said my account said dec and my "friend" was told the same and he rubbished that and said it will be here.... so long story short not cancelled (just yet) and am excited to go home to find it has been delivered....

(And thank you for the non 084 number - worked just the same)

3 Nov 11 #1008
After finding out it won't be until December now until we could possibly receive this, I was tempted to cancel too and go for the Sainsburys deal but I've decided to hang on, it's still a saving of £85 over the Sainsburys one and it's too good to pass up, I just hope it pulls through in the end, not given them a penny yet of course and neither should anyone else who is still waiting for one.

One thing though, has anyone on here actually got one yet? When it was first advertised that implies they have stock yes? So howcome at least some of the people on here who got an order in first have not received it? Surely that's wrong on Studios part.

I got a catalogue from them today too, probably plenty of those in stock!

They can say what they want and it can be on our account forever lol.

All those that have called/e-mailed to cancel your order, can you please just use a code to signify such as

as reading the same
'oh this is taking forever, I'm going to cancel now' or 'oh what a stupid company, i'm going to have to wait months for this item and the call center is not helping me at all'

as much as I agree that it is unacceptable for us to be treated like this, with the waits and the cancellations and what not (welcome to Capitalism), the spam is getting kinda f---ing annoying'.

Just off the phone after cancelling with them. The girl was quite helpful and said that I wasn't the first to call to cancel on this item today. I asked about closing the account and she said that can only be done once the account is cleared of the PS3, so I've to phone back in about a week and they should be able to close the account then.

Fingers crossed that's it over and done with.

She told me to call in a couple of days once order was off the system to close my account. If the delivery is over a month away I can't see the problem with them cancelling an order? Why would they go to all the trouble of paying for delivery, or is it that you have to pay to return? Or more obviously they just want the credit accounts and the PS3 will never arrive !

I can't believe this is a scam to get accounts opened. Are any of us ever going to buy anything else from them if we don't get the console. Plus if we tell our friends/family about it, it's only going to effect their business detrimentely.

It's gotta be a pricing error. I'm going to wait to see if I receive it.

There is another thing that just proves how useless this company are. I have signed into my account and seen that it has been delayed, and we have obviously been on here finding out the latest info. However I have not recieved a single thing from this company to tell me that my orders arrival date has changed from imminent to out of stock maybe in 5 weeks. Not even an e-mail! I could be sitting in waiting for the parcel.

I never checked the OP of this thread until now. They signed up and posted the deal, and haven't been seen since. They also posted an out of stock PS3 "deal" from the GAME website (maybe to cover their tracks?). Seems a little suspicious to me.
quark to nickw90
1 Nov 11 #964
I agree this is looking like a very deliberate scam to get pre-christmas credit agreements set up.

They also appear to be in breech off their own T&C for delivery as there was no indication of extended delivery on the site when ordering. . .

"i) With our standard delivery service (excluding personalised items), you should receive your goods within 3-7 days. Please allow 5-10 days for delivery of personalised items. Please note, some products will take longer than 7 days to be delivered, although these instances are highlighted next to the relevant items on the catalogue page or the item details page on this site."

Nice deal :smiley:

I am tempted by the £200 Sainsburys deal with 2 games. Although in another threat a Sainsburys employee mentions that they have some good deals on consoles this Wednesday. Seems some confusion if the deal is Xbox 360 or PS3 though.

I am the same. I was asked to pay £29.00 because they only gave me a £100 credit limit. Then for some strange reason after I paid the £29.00 excess they put my credit limit up to £158.00 on the same day. I just wonder how long it will be before we get it paid back. We might have a fight on our hands there and may have to wait weeks or even months.

I love how people think this is a scam, rather than a misprice on an outdated mail order system that's not really designed for the internet. I wonder how many 9/11 and vaccine denouncers use this site :wink:
kl3095 to dreamager
1 Nov 11 #951
I disagree, it was a scam, and the proof is. The very next day, they had pulled the page from the website at this price. Which means the very next day they were aware of the problem. Yet even though they knew of the problem, they did not mass e-mail misprice and cancel the orders. They deliberatly got people signed up to credit agreements, and asked people for money for an order they were aware was a mistake, this is bordering on fraud!
kl3095
1 Nov 11 #950
Because as I stated in comment, not sure on which body will cover this. I am thinking the advertising standards, because at no point have they stated it was a misprice. So therefore advertised a product that wasn't ever available, at a low price to entice new customers. Its a similar thing that Tesco got a huge fine for last year, for advertising sale products, then never having any in store.

I also called today, and was instantly told 14 days till delivery. I told them to look again and then got the Oh, yeah! its out of stock till Dec. They are just script Monkeys and dont have a clue.

I think if they made a mistake then its a fair cop, and they should have just cancelled all orders, But to set up credit accounts and take money, with no intention of fulfilling a single order is completely out of order.

I think the scale of this and their history of repeated offending deserves a mail to our friends at watchdog . .

Why are people thinking they need to cancel asap to avoid any fees exactly?

"Details of payment methods, your minimum payment and the due date, will be detailed on your first statement. The statement will only be received after all the below parcels have been dispatched, you do not need to make any payment until you are instructed to do so on your statement. "

Surely you will only need to pay something once you receive a statement...which you will not get until AFTER anything is delivered?! As for people paying before anything was sent, unfortunately you were warned.

The other half has cancelled her account and the never to be PS3 order.

She asked the guy if she would have got the PS3 had she stayed he said at full price yes but at this price it's doubtful unless we are supplying re-cons units...

So some of you might get one albeit a re-con..

1 Nov 11 #942
I phoned this morning and I said I was cancelling because the order would come after my son's birthday, although I have never quite believed that we would get these. When I said I wonder if I should hang out for a belated present, she said well things sometimes happen with the manufacturer and goods have to be cancelled. So I took that as a NO, and cancelled. I have been to Sainsburys, got the one with the two games, used the £8 off voucher I got and my £50 Nectar points money off and hope to learn from the experience and sell the two games. Good luck to the rest of you waiting for one, I really hope that Studio come through! BTW I have to call back in 2 days to cancel account as she said they have to make sure I don't owe them anything ...JOKE !!!

Just called to ensure my order had been canceled (it was) and asked to cancel my account as well, he said he would pass me to the relevent department for it and kept me on the line, a minute later it was him again asking if there was anything else he could help me with, I said no. He said ok I'll pass you to the relevent department and once again kept me on the line, a minute later it was him again asking if there was anything else he could help me with! I said no I just want to close my account, he said ok I've emailed them and they will close my account. I asked if I would receive any confirmation of this and he said no but he could give me verbal confirmation now. Haha what a joke, I gave up there, don't believe my account has been canceled but they can't chase me for money so I'll settle for that.

I wish the heat for expired deals could be changed. If 24Studio pull this stunt again in the future, so many people will be drawn in by the heat on this deal (assuming they won't read the full 47 pages) that the same thing will happen.

I completely agree. To be fair, they should just be banned from this site, it has happened to other merchants in the past.

Companies like HMV who cancel orders or mistake are pretty upfront about it (no matter how annoying it is), these guys are all over the place, like I said just an hour or so ago I was promised my order will definitely be arriving.

24Studio are a shower of s***. If they do pull a big stunt on this one, I hope they're banned.

Cancellation rights exist up to 7 days after you've received the goods so surely they are still in force for everyone since nobody, rather unsurprisingly, got the goods they ordered.

http://www.24studio.co.uk/ss/pdf/Studio%20-%20SECCI.pdf
Withdrawal rights from your agreement are in force up to 14 days after they tell you what your credit limit is by writing to them at Customer Care Department, Preston PR0 2BP or by phoning on 0871 200 0378 (or non-geo equivalent). The withdrawal clause must still be in force for everyone surely (since it was first posted less than 14 days ago?)

If you've paid up front i don't see anything in the terms that would preclude them from returning your money immediately or at least within a reasonable time. IMHO, ten days to return your cash doesn't seem wholly reasonable but that's just me.

So so so. All happening this morning.

I ordered late on 19th Oct (Wednesday night when the offer was available) - product was listed in stock. All good. Received the first email acknowledging the order. I then rang on the 21st, saying I've not seen any progress since the order, what was happening? The lady on the phone said, that letters were set out that day, and simply it will explain that it'll need to be paid for in advance for them to process the order. Fine, I thought.

Saturday just passed (29th) I received that said letter which was dated on the 21st. I then paid the £129.99 online.

It came to yesterday, Monday (31st), I then called asking there was still no progress on my order. The guy affirmed to me on the phone, it's fine I can see you've paid (as it was showing I'm £129.99 in credit) and the order will be processed that day. Excellent I thought.

Then this morning, I received the email:

"Sorry, the following items are not currently available & will not be sent".

So now, I'm £129.99 in credit with them and now *not* getting the PS3 which I was told I would.

Not a happy bunny. I rang them again today saying, what the hell? I paid in advance like I was told and now coming up to just short of 3 weeks ago of ordering, I'm not going to get it. The woman on the phone said sorry, the item was out of stock when you ordered. On the website it clearly was. So the whole process of, holding your order whilst waiting for payment is all false, they didn't hold it for me. So I said when are you getting more in then? She said it's permanently out of stock and they're not going to get any more in.

I then requested my account to be closed and my monies transferred back. She said, I should get a phone call from the other department to do so and this is is going to take up to 2 weeks(!?!).

SCAM. KEEP AWAY.

I bet all those with orders now reflecting December, may get it December of next year or never.

Do I believe him? Not a chance. But he was adamant it will arrive, so let's wait and see!

Surely it isn't really a surprise that stock/availability was going to be an issue.

Within an hour of it being first posted there were a few users advising it might be sensible to stay clear given their reviews
http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews79624.html
http://www.trustpilot.co.uk/review/www.24studio.co.uk

And history here with that old xbox deal
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/xbox-360-kinect-sensor-250gb-kinectimals-845550?page=1

Going by their previous it looks like they take orders, do a recorded credit check on you, open an account, give you credit, charge the item to your bill and then start looking for payment within their terms (??). The challenge seems to be that they appear to have repeatable issues getting the kit to supply.

Their credit agreement terms state:

You have a right to withdraw from this agreement without having to give us any reason. You have the right to give us this notice of withdrawal for a period of 14 days, such period beginning on the later of the day after the date on which this agreement is made or the day after the date on which we notify you of your credit limit.

I found out about my credit limit after the date on which I received an email (on 21 Oct) telling me that my application had been successful. I received my invoice on Saturday 29 October and therefore discovered my credit limit on this day. Therefore shouldn't I have 14 days to notify them from 29 October?

After hearing from them that despite being given an account with them I wasn't going to receive a PS3, I emailed them to voice my displeasure and ask for them to shut my account down. They finally replied today saying that my account will be shut down.

Here's hoping that all goes OK.

i got a letter saying i couldn't have a credit facility. don't know if it's because my wife already has an account. perhaps i should have just ordered on hers. anyway i called and paid the £129 after asking them to check they definitely have stock. i've bought it to replace my fat one before i get the YLOD. i can still sell the fat one for at least £100 so £30-odd quid for a new warranty and reset the sale of goods coverage is worth it.

regarding what someone mentioned above about telling you to wait until you had received before cancelling, just send them an email re-affirming that you wish to cancel. cancellation is taken from the date you give them notice, so you can cover your ****.

Messiah to Gavin01
30 Oct 11 #876
Firstly, they actually say 'up to 21 days'




Secondly, the invoice is NOT the statement. They say (at least on my invoice) "You will receive a statement shortly telling you how and when you should pay."

We can assume that this 'statement' will arrive with the PS3.

So far, we should give them the benefit of the doubt, but of course be cautious nonetheless.

Good luck everyone and I'm glad to be in this together :smiley:

The PS3s are dispatched from the manufacturer, remember? So basically they are waiting for the 14 day cancellation period for you credit agreement to pass. Then f*ck you over.

I've just received 2 letters today (identical letters) telling me that I was given £200 credit but since I bought 2 I needed to pay £59 up front as they apparently came to £259 (i used the discount so should actually have been £234) Kinda weird considering I phoned them last week to check on my order and was told they were out of stock so basically I wouldn't be getting any at all, so I canceled my order. Seems like they have no clue whats going on more than me
Simon H
29 Oct 11 #863
I just had an, interesting, conversation with customer services. I received a letter today saying that the order value exceeds the level of credit they are currently able to extend to me. "We will hold the details of your order for 10 days and it will be proceed when a payment of £189.00 is received.". Apparently the maximum value for first time order is £200.

I entered a discount code at time of order bringing the total to from £389.97 to £350.97 (I ordered a quantity of 3), so they've obviously taken the value of £389.97, deducted £200 and are asking for £189 before they can release the goods, then presumably expect me to pay the £200 when I 'receive' the goods. After speaking at length on the phone, I was asked to send the email I received containing the order total minus dicount code back to them (the same company that sent me the email in the first place...) so they can check the order definitely came to £350.97 - again, not sure why they can't just check their own records. Anyway, I've done that and was told I could expect a call in the next 7 days to clarify how much is owed before they can release the goods.

This doesn't really fill me with confidence, the only saving grace is that I'll check back here to see if anyone starts receiving their promised items in the next week, if so, I'll pay up, if not I won't be continuing with this saga. No money has changed hands yet and no money will until I'm satisified they can really deliver at the price ordered.

Received my invoice today and registered an account. Mine is the same as everyone else "Awaiting dispatch".

@Mac_ That's outrageous, how can they request £289 upfront when the sale price was £129.99 (£116.99 if you used discount codes). £289 for a 160gb PS3 is a ridiculous price.

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 got an invoice letter through the post today asking for £289 up front as they only were able to offer me a credit limit of £100.

Ok i've been updated and told to expect delivery by the 03/11/11, so a little wait left but another step towards the PS3.
numptydumpty
29 Oct 11 2 #849
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)
croydebay21 to numptydumpty
29 Oct 11 #850
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:
croydebay21
29 Oct 11 #848
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.

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

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...
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.

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:

Order Summary
Items Total: £ 129.99
Discount: £ 0.00
Insurance: £ 0.00
Postage & Packing: £ 0.00
Order Total: £ 116.99

Qty Item Ref Description Price

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.

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 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.

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 :-)

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!
Ross87

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".

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!

There is nothing like that on the failed delivery card...just details on how I could re-book it either online or ringing them...a generic, pre-printed card with tick boxes on for why the delivery failed...

This was due to "a signature was required"

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.

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.

http://www.24studio.co.uk/ss/help/help.jsp?page=terms&part=subs

(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.

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:

... but you can return it, and challenge it. I know the procedure now, so will advise if need be!

25 Oct 11 1 #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:

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

24 Oct 11 #681
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.

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.

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.

I was like :laughing: until I read further.

"Sorry, the following items are not currently available & will not be sent

Sorry, we are unable to obtain stock for the following:

@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.

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.

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!

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.

Sh*te. I hope it does work out for the buyers, I just had a bad feeling and followed my instincts. It would be stupid to not follow your own head now wouldn't it?

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.

yh i know, crazy. never heard of anything like this.

There's so much negativity because the ones who never went for it are now bricking themselves/praying they don't get delivered cos they would missed out on a cracking deal

dreamager to kayjay75
22 Oct 11 #628
Given that most people have been told 10 days delivery time, and others 3-5 days from now, unlikely as people only had orders accepted yesterday :wink:

Well, other than me who had the CEO personally deliver it after his shift
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:
sailo
22 Oct 11 #625
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!

Still convinced here that this will not happen, if it does then I have a PS3.

If not then nothing lost at all, I can see this thread running and running though :-)

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

21 Oct 11 #609
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)

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:

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.
MartH
21 Oct 11 1 #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.

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!!

Just to note, although your credit checks have been accepted, it's still quite likely they'll send you an out of stock notification in the post :smiley:
the gooner to dreamager
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!

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 :-)

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.

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.

No bickering just finding reasons and lol you thought this was an update didnt you cttm :wink:

@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.
Nailez
20 Oct 11 1 #439
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'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!

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.

Privacy ? Do you not think your details are splatted across numerous areas of business, on several junk mail listings. This is a misprice as stated and its 50/50 on whether its honoured or not but to opt out for such a claim is a little short sighted.
Nailez
20 Oct 11 #430
Dont understand either to be honest Dream, ok our details are now within another database but big deal junk mail can be thrown and if not honoured its no loss.

Ever stopped to think about if it IS honoured though how gutted you would feel for missing out?

dreamager to 2409chris
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.

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.

If in doubt, speak to KARL! :P

20 Oct 11 5 #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...
amplifiedAnt
20 Oct 11 #402
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".

Surely the part where you clicked the 'accept' box under the page for applying for a credit agreement was the part where you applied. It was one of the pages in the order process that can't be skipped.

Email to acknowledge the order arrived. About 10 - 15 mins after ordering.

But as always:
"email is an acknowledgment that we have received your order. It does not form an order confirmation or acceptance of order."

Just to chip in. I used them for that Xbox 360 deal last year, they sent the wrong model, claimed the discount code was actually a discount applied for me getting the core instead of elite. But they took it back and cancelled my invoice no problems.

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 have given no card details and given no payment options so if anything worst case is ill get some more junk mail to my overly large abused junk email address.

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

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.
tinkerbell28
20 Oct 11 #325
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.

I'm tempted as OH would love this but I've had dealings with them before. All was OK for a few years then like others I started getting all the charges.

Oddly, they have recently been sending me catalogues so guess they got my name & address somehow.

I've ordered but looking at the bundle prices, this is an obvious misprice. The price should have been £229, not £129.

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....

Thanks op (and adnan for code).

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?

Deal is still on. I saw this last night but was a bit put off with the credit agreement and not being able to pay for it now.

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

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 get the impression that the 10% off may just be for a new customers? Already having an account it only seems to apply free delivery..which is better than nothing.

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'

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.

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...

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.

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.

Here is there credit explanation (buried deep in the Ts&Cs) and EU driven pre-contract info you are agreeing to
http://www.24studio.co.uk/ss/pdf/Studio%20-%20Credit%20Explanation.pdf
http://www.24studio.co.uk/ss/pdf/Studio%20-%20SECCI.pdf

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)

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?66249-Express-Gifts-Ltd-Who-Are-They

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 :-)

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.

I would wait for others to get their PS3 console first and see if payments go through okay. The price is good but this is high risk based on the reviews link provided on page 5. Good luck to those that go for this.

Once you are a customer they have your details on file even if they dont have the item you ordered in stock, you will still be on their "books" -- therefore, as its not a single transaction dont you think its high risk??

But as some say... you have to be in it to win it !

Thanks OP, ordered.

To people complaining about credit fees etc, just pay the bill when you get sent it. Simples.

Ow!...if you don't pay on time, they charge £20 each statement...I can imagine some people getting into big trouble...which is probably what they want.

First of all I'd just like to say that "I love things like this"

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.

Looking at the reviews... its too high risk for me.... im out...

Think i may hae a blast on GT5 now on my "big" PS3.

Good Luck !

Ive updated the first post with the following info: Use code 019 for 10% off and free delivery-essentially bringing the deal down to £116.99 DELIVERED.

Hope people see it before ordering.

I've never had credit before as I usually pay by cash or direct debit straight away, unlike most that rack up debts through systems such as this and have helped with the current crisis.

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.

19 Oct 11 1 #83
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

It made me sign up as a new customer for a credit check and I went all the way through to the end.

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????
Winspiration to Confidemus
19 Oct 11 #81
Hmm, that's odd. It asked me to supply an e-mail address on one of the first screens and I received a receipt almost instantly.

19 Oct 11 #80
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....

Damn you Pedro

er, on your credit history
bluespace77 to ultimatekopite

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.

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.

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
