Although the below is not the 'bundle' (no leads, memory card) it is the exactly same game and console. I got the cancellation email now so i emailed them back saying ill have this one instead or the new pokemon bundle that was suppose to be released the same day.

well thats me got my tesco order binned. Ordered at 11:17pm on the 18th. Ach well you win some you lose some. I dont get all the bitchin' that goes on with something like this, they made a mistake ::) Maybe they have "been unable to obtain the item(s)....." because a few hundred non MSE'ers out there spotted it first and have been lucky enough not to get the order cancelled because there was stock and the sale has been honoured, you just don't know.

Anyway, big thanks to the OP. it was worth a punt. Lookin' forward to the next bargain madness.

Anyway I'm off to watch more of That 70's Show, if you havent seen it, take a look on Trouble (607 on sky) I love you Wisconsin..... ;D

just spoken to someone "in the know".....

Internet and high st store are NO different. The statutory rights apply to both. They explained it to me like this:-

You go into argos and see a leaflet, it says PS2 @ 29.95. You go to the checkouts to pay and the girl says "sorry, this has been withdrawn, printing error, its 99.99" - there is nothing you can do. Argos is perfectly within its right to remove the product. (tesco/woolies

If however, you pay and go to collect and someone pulls you up "oh god, we thought the system had been changed. You will have to have a refund or pay the extra..." This is a breach of contract. (Virgin)

They can naturally throw you out of the store, give you nothing(except the refund) and tell you to get lost - it is then up to you to persue the claim thru trading standards/small claims.

Trading standards wont actually do anything for you - they will take evidence and possibly prosecute the offending company. They will give you advice on how to claim compensation thru courts

WRT tesco checking the card - they do the same in bars when you put your card behind the bar, they basically run a £0.00 swipe thru to check it is ligit

We have recently experienced some technical difficulties with our email system,
which we are working to resolve.

Unfortunately due to our high volumes of emails, this means that our response
back to you may take up to 7 days.

We would also like to ask you, if possible, to avoid emailing us again in
relation to your original contact as the volume of emails on our server is
affecting the speed with which we are able to reply to customers.

Quite frankly I'm not concerned about their email problems as they have obviously brought it on themselves due to their deceitful manner in handling this situation. Woolies personel watching take note you are streets ahead of the competition in dealing with situations such as this.

I will of course be emailing them when I see fit and not when invited to do so

i have been told Tesco messed up as all along they should have put this one up.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0006D39QI/o/qid=1100992067/sr=2-1/ref=sr_bt_1/202-4112666-1632610

but they put the old one up and also at the wrong price, they can not send the old one (picture they used) as it is really out of stock now. The new one that amazon is the bundle they were selling and have lots of in the warehouse. In a day or two they will update their web site with the new bundle at the right price with the right picture(as amazon are )

Hence i sent them the link and said (famous words of Andy, little britian) 'i want that one'

November 12th by the arrival of the Pokemon Colosseum bundle, which features a black console, a memory card and a copy of the Pokemon Colosseum RPG title,

Which is the items I bought from tesco ! State the picture on website was incorrect and showed old bundle that was released on 14 May 2004, and can understand why that would now be out of stock.

The original product I purchased stated release date 12 November so you actually purchased whats stated above.

The same as they sell in electrical section for £105

The warehouse  may be out of stock of the old product (as stated in above post) but able to get stock of new product. As they are still selling it - with a different description and image.

Virgin didnt give image so may work in favour
