Rawrrrrrrr Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 If your actually wanting one your better off ordering one only They will find it far easier to cancel if your clearly on the ****take, especially as it wont have the same negative PR effect of just cancelling "genuine" orders as opposed to people trying to sell them on They dont need to honour it until you receive a confirmation dispatch email however they may, if you order loads not a hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_R Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I assume its meant to be ?99.99 or something? If I buy one they won't snatch ?100 off my account will they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavsy Van Gaverson Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Just noticed... it's a pre-order too. Think that changes anything? Nope. If your confirmation says ?9.99 (which mines does) there is nothing they can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Thats brilliant. Thanks very much I paid ?100 last year in HMV - all the films minus Casino Royale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tane Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Nope. If your confirmation says ?9.99 (which mines does) there is nothing they can do. I haven't checked the T&C's from Play.com's site, but I had a similar thing with Apple in the past year. An external hard drive (can't remember the size) was on their store for pittance. It even went as far as order confirmations and taking the money out of the bank. Didn't get anything except my original money and an email apology.

djf Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 They probably wont honour it. They all have items in their T&Cs to cover themselves. Worth a crack though. They'll probably just email you asking if you want a refund or a sale at full price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Ordered one too. Not released until the 20th though, which is Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wattie Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 This will not be honoured. By pre-ordering it, you are simply reserving yourself a copy for release. The contract is only formed when Play despatch the item and send a confirmation of said despatch. They reserve the right to cancel until that point. Incidentally, Play will not charge any more than the pre-order price you pay (it is illegal for them to take any more as that is a breach of contract) i.e. ?9.99. Having said all that, I've ordered one....you never know. It's Christmas after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play don't take money on pre-orders until the day of release so will just ask if you want to continue with the purchase at full price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Sidious Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Ordered, I put in 2 and the price was ?99.99 each, so it must be an error with no chance of delivery. At least I can back out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wibble Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Pretty sure that if you get a confirmation email listing 9.99 as the price then this is considered a contract of sale. Any legal eagles prepared to comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsmak Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Pretty sure that if you get a confirmation email listing 9.99 as the price then this is considered a contract of sale. Any legal eagles prepared to comment? A legally binding contract needs an offer and an acceptance. You would think that the price advertised is the offer but under UK law it is not. The offer is when you take the goods to the till and offer to pay for it. The seller can then accept your offer or refuse it. It is up to you to haggle the price down but 99.9% of the time you will pay what has been advertised. So when we place an order for ?9.99 we are making the offer. Its up to them to accept it. Thats about all the law I learned at university. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I've been watching the Bond films in sequence. What a dire bunch they are when you get to Moonraker, Octopussy, For Your Eyes Only, View to a Kill, Never Say Never Again. Looking forward to things picking up again when Piers Brosnan takes the gun ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
