Will any high street retailer price match Dixons?

Just wondering if anywhere on the high street price matches Dixons online?

I'm after a Samsung NV8, & Dixons are selling it for £98.03 online.

However, Currys are selling it @ £129.89 !

Failing that, I can get the Sony W55 on special offer from Currys at the moment for £99.99.

What do you guys think that I should do/go for?

Once bought a laptop from PC world and they price matched it (used on of the display computers to find the price match aswell). My local PC world sells cameras may be worth a try not sure about exact models though.

Currys as a rule don't price match Dixons, but its totally up to the manager. You might get lucky.

y2k .... I stand corrected !

Quote from Curry's price promise:

"who do we price promise against?
Price promise applies to the lowest price offered by these retailers, whether that’s online or in-store"

You're a star !

Off I go to Curry's tonight ...

I bought a camera from Tesco's direct and they will even have it sent to a store near you for pickup.

I ended up going for the Samsung NV8 - managed to get Curry's to price match Tesco + give me 10% of the difference - came to £96 in total

No bad considering that they had it marked up @ £130 on the shelf !
