It'll get cancelled for sure. Its all over HotUKDeals at the moment and Play have been known to do this with this exact item before, tell the customer its been sent, then when it doesn't turn up, just offer a refund instead of a replacement.

I highly doubt you'll get it.

Holding onto a customer's money whilst deceiving them into thinking the item has been sent sounds quite illegal to me.

Why does this never happen with shit I'm remotely interested in??

Blade Trinity (2 discs): £1.99

I've never seen the film & I've heard its absolute tripe, but for less than £2 I'll give it a shot. Obviously its redeeming factor is Jessica Biel wearing very tight clothes.

It's certainly watcheble but yes overall it's tripe. I've seen worse.

We're expected to believe the grand daddy of the vampires Nosferatu is this wimpish (comparatively speaking) bloke who looks tough but the boss of all vampires? Please.

Writers should stick to writing and let directors direct!

For £1.99 though, why not.

I just got an e-mail from Play:

Dear Customer, We are writing to inform you that your recent order for the Pirates Of The Carribbean Trilogy Curse of the Black Pearl Dead Man Chest At World End was incorrectly listed. Unfortunately we will not be able to supply you with this item at the incorrectly advertised price and your order has been cancelled.

Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused to you over this matter and thank you for your patience and valued custom.

Kind Regards PLAY.COM

Whatever happened to having to sell something at its advertised price?

Isn't a legal thing BUT there are get out clauses?

Posted: **22 Dec 2008, 15:59**

I told you it would happen.

The contract isn't legally binding until they have taken your money. Obviously Play don't charge until they send the item so they're well within their rights to cancel it.

Gee thanks.

How does it work in a shop then? I thought they were legally obliged in a shop.

Play.com have started their sale, they even have some decent prices on BDs:

And here's their DVDs:

You can filter by price on the left. Remember EIV BDs are Region B locked.

I'm tempted by Female Agents and Black Narcissus.

Someone has got a bee in their bonnet, don't you think? Is it because I pieced all the parts of the Bradavon puzzle together?

I'm sure no one needs reminding you stated this would happen.

Cloverfield at £2.99 is a good price for a recent release

No, if you pick something up in an actual shop which has the wrong price on, they still have to sell you it at that price.

Posted: **22 Dec 2008, 23:28**

I'm sure there are get out clauses.

I remember seeing on the news a few years back, Argos had a misprint on a TV for 99p. Thousands of people ordered one. They didn't honour it.

I wasn't talking about in a shop, I was talking about online sales.

I don't think any reasonable person would expect to get a TV for 99p... lol

Blade Trinity is my fave of the 3. Silly comedy, great action.
