    Would be an amazing deal if its for real. Im tempted, But i think ill give it a few days and see if its still up. Its either a terrible mis price or genius promotion lol
    Having a coke with you
    is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irun, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne
    or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona
  • Have given it a shot. Used quidco too. Nothing to lose :)

    I just can't be bothered this time, i'm sure they will not honor this (yes i know it's always worth a try but im too tired!:p). Plus i half thought it may be just the Tshirt! :eek:
    I loved the comment on HDuk about the steps in the glitch process (especially how everyone will blame the 1 person who rings, thinking the site will not notice thousands of people ordering a product in 1 day!) :D

    Yeah this one seems a bit futile, but they may offer a discount voucher and I do have to buy Gold membership in a few months so why not have a go!

    Nice comment but in most cases wrong. With retail systems everything is automated and they have thousands of lines. The 'site' doesn't notice anything - it's a computer system. These things are only picked up on by the system if some developer has put code in to catch it.

    Most retail buying offices only work Monday - Friday, and it all depends on how often a buyer monitors their sales.

    That's why some glitches go through as the automated systems are so fast these days, despatch emails are sent and stock is picked before anybody notices.

    It's never a good idea to phone customer services and tell them about a glitch.

    Having said that, somebody has phoned HMV customer services and they are checking all orders on Monday so can't see this being honoured.

    Yes, they are all worth a go.
    The amount of times I've been paid cashback from cancelled deals just amazes me. ;)
    Nothing to lose.................but perhaps something to gain.

    BTW, what is it I've ordered?? :rotfl:
