PSPGo for £149.99 Cancelled by Play.com - Loss of Bargin?

Ollie_D

[FONT=&quot]Hi,

I recently spotted the new PSPGo on sale at Play.com for £149.99, as the current cheapest price available was £199.99 I didn't think twice about placing an order. I few hours later when checking the status of my order, I noticed it had been cancelled and I then received an e-mail from play stating

"[/FONT][FONT=&quot] It has come to our attention that this item has been incorrectly listed on our website and we are unable to supply the item to you at the price advertised. In this case we have cancelled your order, please note that your credit/debit card has not been charged."

Does anyone know where I stand on this? I'm expecting there are entitles too do this as they had not taken payment, but for a £50 saving I figure it's worth checking.

Cheers,

Ollie[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]

Yeah, until they take payment they have not accepted your order, so there isn't really anything you can do other then write to them and appeal to their better nature.

They can wiggle out of it using the "Invitation to Treat" caveat.

None of the above applies, Play.com are based in the Channel Islands so the UK SOGA and laws do not apply.

Did anyone actually mention SOGA?

Loss of Bargain?

I would be interested to know if anyone has ever taken a company to court and won because of

Loss of Bargain

because they had to pay a higher price at another store to buy an item that was advertised cheaper in a store but was not sold at that price.

Allow me to help you out with that. It has never happened, because companies are entirely within their rights to refuse to sell at any price, sale or not.

Lucky escape?

PSPGo only lets you play games downloaded from sony, Game is never yours to own?

What happens when it dies, will you get all your games back that you legally paid for?

Thanks but no thanks.
