    I was told that they don't have any stock left as it is a limited edition. I think they're going to try to wriggle out of it by saying "we would honour if we could, but we don't have any stock"

    Does anyone know what Tesco's returns/refunds policy is? Can you take it back to any Tesco's store if it turns out to be just the game? ???
  • No you have 7 days to return it to them (via post i assume to warehouse)

    Anyonbe heard from Tesco or spoken to them re: their order. ??

    However, if they have taken the money then no amount of wriggling will get them out of a claim for "loss of bargain" whereby you can obtain the package elsewhere and make a claim against Virgin for the difference in price.

    If they genuinely are out of stock and unable to obtain additional stock to satisfy "completed" orders (those where they have already taken teh money) then what they *could* do in this situation is offer an alternative package, which most people may be happy to accept, under the circumstances (e.g. a console plus your choice of ANY one game would probably be acceptable to all).

    I think Virgin have covered themselves quite well with not showing an illustration of the item, they've said its a bundle thats all, no indication that its includeing a console, thats the sole reason that i purchased from Tesco's.. I would of preferred Virgin, but due to no illustration i went for Tesco

  • Woolworths in store has the package. It does contain the console etc etc and it is selling at £100 +
  • I still think Virgin will be the most difficult because there is no photo anywhere to suggest that what you get is anything more than the game - only the narrative "Bundle" which (in Virgin's context) could mean anything.


    update : posted same time as Muckell ;D
  • Just spoken to Virgin.  They told me that it includes the console, but that it is a limited edition....ie stock problems.  They also said that there is a price error.  I didn't ask about orders already placed, but she said that there is no point ordering from virgin from here on in as the order will not be honoured and that the item will be pulled from the site.


    i've just ordered 25 mins after they said they're pulling it fingers crossed ;)

    oh an just had e-mail confirming :D we'll have to wait an seeeeeeeeeeee
    a please & thank you is all it takes :wave:

    Their site won't update immediately though. Looks like their system's won't allow them to pull items immediately.
