sorry getting lost
whats the conclusion?

You just quoted it!

In other words, Floflo got lucky, as this is probably a store specific error. Stores are able to manually over-ride the central price database. It looks to me that Floflo's store has done exactly this. In an effort to rectify the Xbox 360 bundle falsely advertised saving problem, they've increased the price of the game. That way, the advertised saving is now correct. However, they've left up the old SEL and poster saying that the game's £37, thus allowing Floflo to claim she's been overcharged by £2 on the game when she paid £39 for it. I doubt you'll find this in many other stores.

Are you reaching the same conclusion as me, Constantine? The store did a manual override, but forgot to take down the lower SEL and poster?

Nah, I was on that conclusion this time yesterday

Does the r&r work if you use a self scan till? I've had no luck so far and got quite a few things to return.......

You have inside info, though...I have to work with the tools available to me - Tesco.com! Not the best website in the world...;) They did honour the !!!! up they made on the X-Files DVD boxset a few years back, when they accidentally mispriced it at £29 on the website instead of £79. I had to argue through my teeth mind you, and remind them that they had actually taken the money for the product!

NOT A MISPRICE QUESTION .... BUT - PLEASE HELP!

Basically, I was wondering if ANYBODY has noticed that a Tesco they have visited stocks the "Wireless Gaming Adaptor" for the "Xbox 360" .... I'm convinced I've seen it in a store, but can't remember which, and I can't seem to find it in my local Extra store .... would really like to go and buy one asap!!

Thanks in advance, please post if anybody knows of any stores, and please also pm me quickly .... because new pages are being created by the minute on this thread, and I could miss your reply !!

Thanks a million !

(PS: This is the item as it appears on the tesco.com website: http://www.tesco.com/entertainment/product.aspx?R=670906&bci=4|Games*4294312962|Xbox%20360*4294362287|Hardware)

Unless there are price changes between the time you order and the delivery date, yes.

What you see on .com IS your store - when you click on "see rest of shelf" that is what is actually there in the store. Quite cleaver really but a swine to maintain

so r u saying the products on the shelf is the scanning price? not the sel price?
