In manufacturer refurbished condition with 12 months guarantee. My guess is they are either damaged box or customer returns. Can be collected in Argos or delivered free. Only 8 available.
Blurbs:
Strategy is everything. Defeat enemies to splatter them in an explosion of ink, covering more turf for your team. But choose wisely: Players who only go after the enemy might find their turf redecorated in their enemies' colours.
Covering more territory with ink unlocks powered-up super weapons that can be used to attack rivals or cover more turf. See where you've splattered—and what to cover next—on the Wii U GamePad controller's screen.
Transform into a squid to hide in your own ink, climb up walls, and move more quickly. Use ink blasters, ink bombs, ink rollers, and squid power to cover the most territory.
Customise your Inkling with different weapons and gear, complete with unique gameplay perks. Challenge players online* in chaotic 4-on-4 turf wars and unleash squid powers to ink your way to victory. May the best mess win.
Take on the evil octopus army in single-player mode, splatter octopi, solve ink puzzles and beat bosses!

This is a bonkers deal, its £199 on Amazon - brand new. Why risk a scuffed up wreck from Argos when you can buy brand new for £20 more. Some people are bonkers :man:

I'd be careful with Argos refurbished consoles.most are used;scratched,etc.
at this price buying brand new is much better decision.why risk it for only £20.

Exactly games are fine as they can easy be taken back or refunded. A console refurb for 20 quid less is just dumb. The people on here see refurb or secondhand and vote hot it happens for every console deal...

Agreed I wouldn't go for this. £20 saving is poor for the gamble.
I usually take this stance on 2nd hand, I mean I buy used games from Ebay all the time and the vast majority are still in excellent condition. But then with games I usually sell most on anyway once completed/done with them, but the console I would ideally want brand new, especially with such a dire saving for second hand/refurb....I mean I think it should be like half the price, or at least around £120-130.

Argos refurbished electrical's are a joke, its really not worth taking the chance. Nine times out of ten you will be returning the unit as faulty, or horrendously damaged/cosmetically damaged. You would be better to pay the extra £20 and buy new from Amazon.

I agree I would rather pay £20 more and get a new machine with brand new unused parts to get the maximum life span out of the machine.

Remember if you have an NUS card (ahem) then you can get 5% off from amazon. Mine cost only £227.05 (for Mario Kart and Splatoon).

Not voting but I would like to relate my experience with the Argos outlet. I picked up a "refurb" Wii U from Argos Outlet with Super Mario Maker a couple of months back for around £150 by using the 30% paypal code that was available at the time. The console unit was badly scratched all over but the accessories were brand new, The power adaptor for the gamepad had an EU plug on it and in the first 10 days we went from it very occasionally (like once or twice in a day for a few seconds) saying that the game pad was out of range of the console, to the game pad constantly saying it was out of range unless it was physically sat on top of the unit. When I spoke to Argos it turned out that the 6 month warranty meant "send it back for a full refund" but they covered the cost of the return.
I ended up buying a brand new console from Amazon instead and regret bothering with the Argos Outlet. Obviously some will get lucky but for the "saving" of £20 I really would not bother.
Exactly, with argos ebay its a complete lotto. not exactly "manufacturer Refurbished" plus the hustle of returning and any warranty is with them(argos ebay, not even Argos proper).
With amazon there won't be any hustles for returns/repairs plus you could also go through Nintendo direct if pushed.
Anyway for some people all that matters is saving £20 :laughing: right now, lets not worry about tomorrow

Seems a very modest and minor saving for refurbished. Neutral on this. I would have said a 20% saving compared to the RRP price would have been a good deal. But the nations oldest and favourite home console continues to command a hefty fee.

But at least you can look at them in store and refuse there and then without having to arrange for a collection.

Saw a pile of these the other week at Walsall outlet. Asked to have a look and those I saw looked used, some more than others. None were new.
I wouldn't but you pays your money, for an extra £20 brand new with no issues. Argos is well known for checking the basics are working, resetting it and reboxing.

I wouldn't think twice about grabbing a manufacturer refurbished item from Argos. Plus that £20 saving, you can treat yourself to one of their Nintendo Selects range :smiley:

£20 cheaper is still better than nothing. I would be surprised if these are not new units themselves.
