Page 1 of Cheap Gamecube question

As everyone knows Argos are flogging the GC for around £80 with a free game and controler etc. However I picked up my (daughter`s - honest!!) GB sp from Game today to find a £30 off a Gamecube console voucher inside.
To redeem the voucher you buy a GC then send the till receipt away and recieve a £30 cheque through the post - however it states that the voucher is only redeemable against a GC console, does this mean that as the Argos deal comes with a game etc and not simply a console that the voucher will not be accepted?
Not really wanting a new console at the moment but for £50 I could be tempted, although the word(s) `E-bay` keep coming in my head!



Cheers.

The Argos deal was due to finish on the 1st of April. Don`t know if it would have worked, but would have been worth a try - if only you`d got in sooner! Sorry...

I am tempted to do the same thing, however finding an argos with a gamecube in stock will be a miracle. However I am tempted to wait for the platinum gamecube which comes with zelda on the 3rd of may. Amazon will be selling it for £122 which means I would get it for £92, seeing as I would buy the game anyway and I am a sucker for limited edition things it still seems worth it.

I`ve done all of this and sent my voucher off so will let you know what the result is. Can`t really see a problem as at the end of the day I did buy a console, Argos were just good enough to give me the free stuff on top of that. Will update with results...

***edit***for anybody who`s interested, Argos in Harrogate still have some in stock according to the website (black too!)

Are Argos continuing to sell it for £80 then?

Go to the Argos website, navigate to the bit where you can reserve an order, enter Harrogate as your chosen pickup point/store and according to the site, they still have some of these ready for collection today.
Then just git yerself to Harrogate to pick it up...(Not quite the bargain it appears if you live in Cornwall, London etc...;-)

***edit***just read you last post, this morning they were still at £78.00 on the web.

Phoned my local Argos today to find that the last one in the store was sold yesterday to a guy from East Kilbride, some 25 miles away!! He believed the promotion would still be running when new stock arrived but couldn`t swear to it. He also said, and wait for it!, that `you can`t get a cube anywhere just now` well LOL that must be one of those `things you say but once in your life` such as `Yes-I would like the extended warranty!!` and ` I wouldn`t say she was better at it than you - just different!!`


cheers.
