Re: Cheapest UK PS3 Pre-order

I ordered : PS3 60Gb + Motorstorm + R:FOM + SixAxis controller (item code PG314) from LXDirect.com

Site price is £535 + £3.95 P&P = £538.95
Used the following codes :
Free P&P code ZQ262
10% off code XX220
Buy-Now-Pay-Later (Feb08) XX931
Total cost down to £481.50

I ordered via Quidco to get 4.5% cashback (before VAT) which has tracked
as £18.44

Total price = £463.06

I will keep my Argos pre-order til I know for sure when the LXdirect one will arrive...

Re: Cheapest UK PS3 Pre-order

LXdirect's site claim "guaranteed availability"

Available for when I'm not so sure. My order is showing delivery date as 6th April which is no good as I'm off on my hols on 5th!!

I already have an online a/c. You'll need to phone again or wait for the invoice to turn up with the PS3 to find out your customer a/c number.

After a lengthy discussion with a sales guy from LX Direct I offered to pay up front for the PS3 package. He said the XX0790 code is not applicable to the PS3 as it is classed as an electrical item.

I have cancelled my order

I might try again later to see if I can get someone to agree to the code and take payment up fronnt.

I think if you use the account facility and try and get the code through later you are setting yourself up for an argument with LXDirect.

Is your 20% showing up online?

Mine isn't, but they assured me it is on my account and will be deducted when they send the statement out. The lady on the phone said in the unlikely event that it doesn't get applied then I was to call them up and they'd do it manually.

Sweet.
i rang lx this morning who confirmed the order delivery on or before 060407, but when i asked to confirm the price they said it was shown as £535 with no discounts applied. i did mention that i was assured when placing the order i would get 20% as it was my first order. the lady told me to re contact upon receipt and they would aplly the discount over the phone...atleast they better do
