For those who miss out - is this a good deal?

£74.99 Gamecube bundle

And play.com do it for a few quid more.

Obviously not £35, but less than the £100 odd I've seen it before.

As they are all the same:

"As a leading wholesale distributor, supplying approximately one-quarter of the UK’s home entertainment products, Entertainment UK was quick to see the opportunities that this new retail channel could bring to its business. In 1999, it established Entertainment UK Direct (EUK Direct) as its home delivery arm to provide order fulfilment for many familiar online brands, which now include Virgin’s V.Shop, Woolworths, and Tesco.com. EUK Direct is known as a ‘blind supplier’ which means that as far as consumers are concerned, the entire process, from placing the order online to the arrival of the goods, is handled within the brand of the Web site they are buying from. As EUK Direct is sent the orders it initiates the process of picking, packing, and despatching of items from its warehouse. "

I will be most unhappy if anyone does get one from tesco's!!   >:( >:(

Rattla....Virgin site is still accepting orders....might be worth a try

mate said he spoke to virgin earlier who laughed and said they know about this so called 'deal or price error' but they have no stock at all.......... so take from that what you want, try but don't hold out much hope. Really i think orders this morning are the ones that have a chance.......

Time will tell lolol

Tesco ordered placed at 10.47 this morning. No cancellation email as yet and order still showing.

Not too optimistic, but worth a go.

Just checked my order status on Woolies website.
It's under completed orders but next to this says (sorry item not available)
They haven't sent an email though.

I think it's safe to say its a dead duck as far as Woolies is concerned and I for one won't be giving them a hard time after the way they dealt with the phone deal.

I think we should make a point of rewarding them for that by not chomping at the bit on this one, and I for one will be sending an email back telling them so, one good turn deserves another I say.

Ordered one from Woolies at 3am yesterday morning and received email confirmation of order immediately.

Received the standard email, as posted previously in this thread, saying item no longer available at 18:09!

Oh well :-[

Note how it says "further copies are due on 28/11/04". Which leads me to think that thyey are referring to the game. :-/

At least they haven't cancelled (yet).
