Advent Vega Prices - confused


Recommended Posts

Hi all

I'm new here, although have been reading the posts for a little while.

I'm interested in buying the Advent Vega and then using one of the available ROMs to improve it. However, I've been looking @ both PC World and Currys web sites and see the Vega (today anyway) listed at two prices £199.99 and £237.97.

Can someone tell me what the difference is please.

I've looked at the details and can't see one.

Thanks in advance

Anbeon.

There did used to be a price difference between models pre installed with flash and those that required a free download to get flash working and as such were cheaper to buy.

But not to sure this is still the case with all new vegas.

I think I read somewhere that it was due to a Royal Wedding or Easter sale mabye?

Now that these have passed, it's risen again.

On the Dixons web site right now, it is listing two Vega models - one with flash and one without (where you upgrade it yourself). Both are £199.99 and so it is not surprising folks get confused.

To make things worse, PC World are listing the one without Flash at £239.97 and the one with Flash at £199.99.

If you try to buy the one at PCWorld at £239.97 it will say 'Out of Stock', only the ones at £199 are available.

I got mine at £199 last week while visiting England, at a PCWorld (btw: they told that the price had dropped because they were clearing the stock, as within two weeks they expected to have around 20 different models of Tablet available, though they might have been exaggerating when they said '20 models').

When I got to Heathrow last night for the flight back to Germany I saw that Dixons (Terminal 1) had a Vega on display. I asked the price and they replied £181. Of course, this is the duty-free price, but is the best price currently.

The 239.99 model was the price the Vega was originally before the major reduction in price to £200.00

In answer to your question there is absolutely nothing different between the two. :mellow: So if you're going to buy one but the £200 model. Don't pay a penny more :o
