Items not sold in any Sainsburys shop - yet on the shelves!!!!

I was in Sainsburys this morning and picked up a box for Band Hero on PS3 - full kit version RRP £170 - with the sticker price of £39.99. Upon trying to pay for the item, I was told that they did not have the full kit set in stock and that in fact, no Sainsburys in the country had it or would be getting it.

Firstly - why have something on the shelves which you know you do not sell.
Secondly - do I have any rights?!

Thanks.

    Firstly; they're out of stock. Haven't updated the display. Cry some more.

    Secondly; you have the right to shop elsewhere.

    IIRC there was some sort of regulation passed against this?

    Weren't Tesco doing something similar?

    Advertising heavily cut priced spirits then none of the stores having them in stock?

    It would help if you could state the regulation! ;)
