Nifty. Nice find!

I'm a little irritated at how the pound sign just replaces the dollar one, but it's still a good price.

Apparently it can be reserved for store pickup, for all those of you out there trying to beat the crush.

I used that to get a present when all hope seemed lost, it's a damn efficient system though, works a treat

every other one i have sen in shops or on websites has been between £35 to £45 so £19.99 is a good price.

I'm definatly getting that!

For once Argos seem to be doing a nifty job. It's when you go and try to order a Maxcon or Supercon from there....they always seem to know which ones you've got and which ones you dont.......

Which is why, when you say "I don't want the purple motor-bike" you'd expect them to bring something else.....wrong, Sideways appears a few minutes later....
