Free Camcorder Upgrade Via Argos due to Poundshops
Bought a Samsung MiniDVD camcorder from Argos at the beginning of last year...was for the newborn baby's arrival. Hurrah! At the time it set us back £250 but it was worth it.

So...I'm in the city centre one afternoon and remember to buy some blank disks for it. Do I get the best quality ones I can find though? Feck that, spindle of 4 for £1 from 'tup Poundland. We use the disks and when we run out of space on a disk we are meant to finalise the film. This is done through the camera which then makes the disk work on any dvd player. Every cheap disk failed.

I took the camera back to Argos showing them the fault and they sent the camera away to Samsung. It came back a good month later with the stamp "repaired" on the side of it. I thought "I'll have a laff with Argos here" and used the same disks a following week later. The same thing happened again and Argos sent it away again. It turned back up 2 months later and they gave us the camera back with another "repaired" stamp on it and smiles all around.

I gave the camera back to the missus and the power button snapped when she turned it on. It now worked, but it wouldn't turn off again, not without pulling the battery out. I took it back again, and Samsung refused to take it off Argos's hands. So I had a full refund, which was used on a much much better Sony DVD Handycam, 10 Sony Re-writable MiniDVDs and £40 towards some Xmas shopping.

I dunno which was tattier, the £1 disks or that shitty Samsung.

On retrospect, this probably wasn't worth the read. Sorry about that. Um....hey, they've started repeating Shooting Stars on ChallengeTV, awesome :D

hahaha
*clicks*

Although, I don't think the Samsung could be called tat considering you purchased 25p discs to use in it. The net is always best for things like that :-)
