Argos *always* say they have stuff long before they actually do. I think their stock system can't distinguish between 'on order' and 'in stock'. They claimed to have the PS3 about a month before its release date IIRC.

Anyway their website isn't claiming stock - it says "Our customer services team will contact you to arrange a delivery date as soon as the first stocks become available." - they've simply allocated it an order code.
 
I wouldn't be so sure. From looking at their web site they don't have them in store and delivery is quoted as 'Delivery usually 2 working days subject to stock.'
 
Well from the looks of the tread people have their deliveries confirmed for monday morning... can't see that happening if there was no stock.

I consider it a kick in the crotch as I ordered in on the 5th through :apple: and still got nothing more than 2nd Oct... I'm pretty sure it won't be monday!

It looks like they've sold out of initial stock now... but it was instock before
 
I was in Argos at The Quays in Newry on Satuday and they had a large poster stating that they had all new iPod's in stock. I checked the catalogue numbers in their stock checker and none were available.
