    I have just had a call from currys.

    Thay have advised me that it was a mistake on their part.

    They have also told me that they will honour the deal.

    They say they have only one of the games in stock, so i can pick another 4 to go with them. I have said as its for a gift, could they just send me vouchers to go and buy the games from the shop. He's looking into this and is due to call me back.

    He also said they could send me the "wireless" controller out anyway.
    Marvellous i said!!!!:beer:

    Will let you know if i get the vouchers!

    I just got the same call. I asked about vouchers and they said they weren't sure how much they would be for so are gonna send me the list of avaialble games to pick the 4 I want.

    If they don't have a big enough selection i will ask for vouchers again

    Ive accepted vouchers. I'd already suggested that all the games were £49.99 so i am assuming i should get £250 although one of them was £34.99 so even if i get £235 i'll be happy as a pig in the proverbial!!!
  • I too have just had a call from there head office, stating the package was misspriced but they will honour the deal, as its for my son birthday, ive gone with the games, King Kong, Just Cause, Ghost Recon, Perfect Dark Sea ? , Battlefield Now ?? , & the conrtoller, All for £179 :D

    I'm not sure how you calculated the games, but my figures suggest over £200

    Tiger woods £49.99
    condemned £49.99
    Need for speed £49.99
    kink kong £34.99
    fifa06....This isn't there anymore but i'm sure it was £49.99
    Even if it was £34.99 thats should still be £220
