Got make some money somewhere I suppose.. after all, Bill G*tes must be on his last few coppers by now.. :snow_laug

I suppose if you need hope go into the shops and see the original XBOX with games for £79.99 not bad for something that was £299.99 on launch 3 years ago!

Damn you are such a hater of Microsoft

My email seems to be worded slightly differently from yours.

That was like the 1st email I got on 21/11/05

The wording on the 2nd email on 01/12/05 dropped the bundle reference and talked about 'your order'.

Fingers crossed were not going to get stitched up.

I'll fire an email off to game.net and get it clarified.

I ordered mine on Friday - didn't receive confirmation - although rang on Saturday and they told me it was all OK for delivery Tuesday, sent an e-mail to be on the safe side and received confirmation e-mail yesterday saying it was all ok and they would arrange delivery.

Rang this morning because I'd had no delivery call and after over half an hour waiting on the phone told there had been a mix up and my delivery details had been erased from the order! so they didn't know where to deliver to! and they would ring me back. Had a call back then to say that the product shouldn't have been on the internet on Friday because they didn't have any hard drives in stock (?) and they weren't likely to receive any before xmas!

Anyone else who ordered on Friday - did you order the £360ish package that included the hard drive/core system and games.

Any info appreciated before I send them another e-mail.

Many thanks,

Same as above, got the hard drive story. Rang again tonight & they said it would be weeks til delivery because I live in a remote area?? 15mls south of Aberdeen, town population 18000, on the only main road from anywhere south of Aberdeen is not too remote, in fact every Xbox that goes to Aberdeen goes past where I live.
Getting annoyed now, they said a manager would call back in 15mins...yeah right, never happened!

Anyone know where to find Comet T&C's as they have taken money from my account and I want see what the conditions say?

I think I'm going to cry. A per my previous post, I ordered a Core package with 2 games this morning from Comet (10:16am), then received the following email:

"Dear Mr XXX,

I called them to find out what this was about and the CS rep I spoke to told me not to worry, and that someone would call me today to resolve why my order had been handed to the manual processing team.

I've just checked my emails, and have received this...

"Dear Mr XXX,

Thank you for choosing to shop at comet.co.uk

Unfortunately we have not been able to process the order you have placed for the following reason:

I'm just so gutted. I know exactly what they're going to say.

This is really unfair as I wasn't told what the problem with my original order was, and no one has called me to sort it out. I just can't believe they'd cancel the entire order... there's just not a chance they'll have any left now

How would you people approach them about it?

I've looked on the Comet website and under the help section no.3 lists the t&c's but there's nothing mentioned in there about this situation.

If you read back over this thread you will see the Virgin orders were taken this morning even though they have no stock. So unless you got on really early Monday evening, you don't have a chance in a warm place.
