Maybe because Argos are updating their website for the adjusted prices when VAT goes back on goods in January .
Should be the old price before the new year if your lucky.

edit: mind you that's more than 17%

the increase in V.A.T should be around a fiver increase , but a 50 quid increase is beyond a joke lol

Computer prices seem to have gone up a bit as well - perhaps reflects the weak pound - it devalued 20% this year, so foreign imports will all cost more I suppose.

I'm sure that the £199.99 price was an offer, as the retail price quoted before release was £250. Its also the price that other online stores are charging.

I doubt the Freesat website will be updated until after the holidays as the price quoted is current to 21.12.09.

that makes it the same price as the humax model that argos is selling , surely the sagem model is not the same quality as the humax version ?
