If what you have said is true then the opposite action must also be true. (example based on my understanding of the sale of goods act).
You walk into a store and walk up to the till and ask to buy something, then at that moment the person behind the till tells you the price is wrong and it's actually 3 times that. Buy saying you wanted to buy it you are then contractually obliged under consumer law to then pay for the goods.
Doesn't sound right now does it.
Argos didn't get away with anything, they are no requirement under the sale of goods act to honor the price and can cancel the order (effectively they are refusing your business which is how it actually works but is obviously not worded as such for politeness) if they choose to.
