I have still got my tesco order showing of 2 of the items estimated delivery 14 days at the £30 odd quid price, although now if you goto the site the price is now £109.00 so it was obviously a price error, one bit of good news though is I picked this quote off of there pricing policy bit :

Pricing and availability back to top


The grand total cost of your order includes the price of the item(s) selected and delivery.

If the price increases or decreases after you have placed your order but before dispatch (and debiting your credit card) the ordered price will be honoured.

An exception will be pre-release orders. At the time of your order an estimated retail price will be shown; however as items may be ordered as much as 3 months in advance we reserve the right to change the price, which may be an increase.

For details of delivery charges please see section 'Delivery details' within 'Help'.

The availability of each item is updated daily. It would be an unusual situation for any item to become out of stock and thus delay the dispatching of your order.

so if the order is cancelled we have a fighting chance to get product at original posted price

Tesco also have in their terms and conditions a bit about pricing errors that is more applicable to the situation, I would think

Virgin seem to have pulled it now as well - if I put the item on my screen it is there but no 'add' button to put it in my trolley

I ordered one from Virgin at 9:30pm last night and received the email stating it was out of stock so please allow upto 14 days for delivery.
Still have not received a cancellation email from them.

Unfortunately we're stuffed. I just rang Tesco Customer Services and they say its about to be removed from the website as they have been told by their suppliers that the item cannot be supplied (yes...at that price!)
I phoned up with every intention of backing them into a corner about dishonest emails, terms and conditions, cancelling an order still available etc. but its simply like this: the suppliers screwed up and have now taken their bats and balls home. It's not Tesco or Woolworths fault and so we have to accept it.
Some things are too good to be true!
Oh well...

Correctly speaking, wouldn't the original supplier be liable to Tesco/Woollies/Virgin? I guess they've got it covered.

Shame placed my order with Tesco yesterday afternoon at 15.30 all confirmed via email.

Got email at 21.49 'unfortunately we have been unable to obtain the item(s) below and will not be able to deliver them to you' so I will not be getting the bundle for my sons christmas now!!

Good luck everyone else and what fun we have had chasing this bargain!!

Okay, I ordered a Gamecube Bundle yesterday at the price of £33.24 from Tesco.com and recieved email confirmation. Later that day got another email saying they have been unable to obtain the item.

Checked back the Tesco site today and indeed they're still selling the Gamecube Bundle but at a revised price of £109, so I ordered one and they've accepted the order and told me again 14days.

Something contradictory here?

I too got an email from Tesco telling me they cannot get the item, therefore cannot deliver it to me.

I've just emailed back asking why they are still selling it then, but now with an increased price?

I didn't for one minute expect this to come off, and I'm not going to be making a song and dance about it. I do question the wisdom of telling us they just can't supply it when they're still selling it though. :-/
