Arerts can be fickle things. I spotted the Argos deal on here when i was rubbing the sleep out of my eyes the other morning and I just happened to be on twitter searching for 'Snes' when nintendo put up their pre-order page. fwiw

surprised they have cancelled any orders so quickly when there are sure to be a lot of orders cancelled because of over ordering.

It's plausible. If price falls somewhere else, which seems likely, they will lose all their preorders. It's in their interest to match the RRP. Have fired off an email to tesco on the off chance anyway :blush:

I'm guessing their website kept letting people order when they had sold out of pre order stock. Mines still showing as being ok but I ordered a couple of minutes after the deal became live. Only ordered one console to actually play!

Pushed down my growing urge to scalp and passed on another one as i have two ordered already. One for me one for a sexy chick who i'm trying to impress.

They'll just deduct one like other retailers have with multiple Snes mini orders and refund the difference. Amazon and Argos did the same (thankfully) i'm sure you'll still get one. A sale is a sale, Tesco wont care.

If you've not done so yet, get the app and set it to Snes mini alerts on that. The only reason I saw it early was I had my phone on WiFi and a little flame indicator popped up on it. I didn't receive an alert email either.

All use crazy people thinking you can make a fast buck in Ebay. The only reason the ness got sold out is because Nintendo underestimated the demand.
I'm sure they will still be stock in the shop. people panic buying them... ha ha

Yes but even if that is the case the scalpors can just take them back to Tesco and get retail price back. They can't lose.

I've got the app but don't know how to set an alert. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Stewf90 to llareggub
4 Jul 17#7
When you open the app to the start page, click the 3 line tab in the top left corner. Then a bunch of selections should appear. It's about 3 down (typing this on phone so can't go back and check the fine points) and should say keyword alerts. Click that and then a circle with a pen should appear in the bottom right of your phone. Then type in Snes mini in the keywords box at the top and add it to your subscriptions. Hope that helps and is accurate.

I just spoke to Tesco about their pricing on the mini SNES in the hope of getting it down to £69.95 in line with Argos, Amazon and Nintendo etc. I was told initially that the Tesco version was different in that it came with two controllers and an HDMI cable, thus their SNES versions were better (superior) to the Argos, Nintendo and Amazon versions! I told the guy that this was poppycock quite frankly and asked for a manager to call me back. long story short, they refused to reduce the price down to £69.95. Has anyone had any joy with getting Tesco to bring the price down? If so, can you take a screenshot and post it up please. Need to get Tesco to do the right thing.
tigerstripe to drubbsy

To be fair it clearly says that if the price is cheaper on release they will refund the difference. Chill man. Disappointingly it is hard to get hold of, I'm just glad to get one..... finally!
