Hi @Anonymous User
Read @Andy post message number 52 on this thread here.

I think Argos have done this previously with other NowTV products in the past, where they show them on their website before they are released or available to the public.

Hi @Anonymous User
I can see why Argos have added the new Roku smart sticks to their paper catalogue in preparation for the launch (otherwise the catalogue would be out of date when the smart sticks are released).
Don't know why they would show the nowtv sticks on their website though if customers are not allowed to pre order
The only thing i could suggest when the sticks finally launch sometime next month is to keep an eye out on the nowtv forum and nowtv shop website page and keep checking the main Retailers such as Argos Curry's, Amazon and Tesco's from time to time.

So that they appear in web searches, generating traffic to their site, increasing the chance of people ordering something else while they are there and/or coming back to order the stick when it's available, thus increasing their search engine rankings etc. I'd expect other sites to do similar in coming weeks!

I found this hidden page about the Smart Stick on the official Now TV website if anyone's interested: www.nowtv.com/smart-tv-stick

Whilst some people do seem to have bought a stick via this means to start with, they are no longer available to buy via them now. I'd guess it might have been a mistake and they've been asked not to continue purchases until the official release date.
