OMG!!! ARGOS HAVE JUST GIVEN ME....

[Anonymous]

I was told by people in the know that if i get a 380 over the 370 then its a swizz.

I reserved a 370, it turned up at the desk as a 380, i was not impressed.

But at least i was pre warned, i am rather surprised to see WHF tell you its a similar deal when it REALLY IS NOT.

The 370 is a far better proposition.

Where did WHF mention it was a "deal", similar or otherwise?

Here....

Sony BDP- S380 review in our current, July issue - in shops and available as digital edition now. The player is an utter bargain for £70!

 

[Sizzers]

There has been no mention or otherwise by WHF of any "deal" available at Argos. Clare was merely commenting on the fact that the £70 I paid for it was an "utter bargain" which, of course, it is.

But you haven't said why the 370 is a far better proposition yet - I'm quite interested to know why...

The Argos website lists it at £149.99. How do you get it for £70? Also, does it play SACD's, and can it be made region-free for DVD playback?

Well I was going to get the 370 at £70. Reserved it and couldn't make it to Argos on Saturday. Followed this thread with interest and went to re-reserve - 370 had become 380. Obviously there is no 380, anyone suggesting there's a difference between 380 and s380 is wrong. The RRP on Sony's website is £130, so £70 for a brand new model is an absolute bargain in my book. Thanks to the OP for the thread!

Now waiting for a new HDMI and ethernet cable to arrive to enjoy my new purchase

To whoever asked, yes it does play SACD (I think pretty much everything Sony does?)

I think the price has changed today.
I reserved the 380 yesrerday at £69.99, went into the store today and keyed in my reservation number and it came up on the screen as the 370 with a price of £99.99. I went to the till and said the price was wrong and the cashier had to do an override to bring the price back down to £69.99. He said the model number was different and i would get the 370 instead (i thought great!)I then went to the collection point and it was the S380 after all!! Still pleased with my good deal. When i checked back on the website, the S380 now says £149.99 so the offer must have finished i'm afraid.

If anyone wants a 370 then it might be worth trying your local Tesco store, as mine had a few left in stock at £79.99.

I was looking at the s370 for £100 at Richer Sounds but found it was hard to come by, the s380 was no good as it doesn't come with DLNA streaming, then saw the s470 for £110 so got that - the last one at London Bridge.

If you don't want streaming then you defo got a bargain with the s380!!!

I just cant believe how cheap these players are, I paid £225 I think for my denon 1920 DVD player.
