As much as I love Afrihost, I must say - this is a quite good deal from Game to compete!

Send Gary on this forum a PM and ask him...seems like the hellopeter comment is from him (Same name as his nick on the forum)

I have a feeling that they will state e&oe etc
But would really like to grab 2 at this price. Just not in the mood to mission for a refund if they don't honour the price

14. Errors and Omissions

1) First Shop makes every effort to ensure that all prices and descriptions quoted in its catalogue and on its website are correct and accurate. However, the frenetic tempo of e-commerce makes it inevitable that mistakes will occasionally occur. In the case of a manifest error or omission, First Shop will be entitled to rescind the contract, notwithstanding that it has already accepted the Customer's order and/or received payment from the Customer. First Shop's liability in that event will be limited to the return of any money the Customer has paid in respect of the order. In the case of a manifest error in relation to price, the Customer will be entitled to purchase the goods by paying the difference between the quoted price and the correct price, as confirmed in writing by First Shop after the manifest error has been discovered.

2) A 'manifest error', as the term is used in sub-paragraph (1) above, means, in relation to an incorrect price, a price quoted in error by First Shop which is more than 10% less than the price that would have been quoted had the mistake not been made.

I'm not really trusting hellopeter.com and that information seems a bit too good to be true. Plus the price!!

I am buying 2 of those notebooks right now. Been on the hunt for new notebooks for my 2 daughters. That is a price I cannot argue with.

Edit: after reading the comments you guys are making me skeptic

I went to order 2 of these as well, and chickened out on the registration page where it asks you for your credit card details and the page is NOT an https page.

Just too much seems wrong here. Prices stupidly low and non secure page for credit card info. Why do they need to capture the credit card info anyway. Should just re-direct you to a secure payment gateway like most eCommerce sites do.

Think I will sit on the side rather and see what happens to you guinea pigs

I chose EFT rather than CC, so there is no chance for stuff to go for me
