Question for all you lucky new Xbox 360 owners. At my local tescos they have DVD cases for the Xboxes and so you have to take the DVD case to the electrical desk to get it scanned, as there is no bar code on the case. So are all you people efectively 'buying blind' and just hoping that it will scan at the lower price? And If it doesn't I suppose you just abort and escape from the store immediately....

Mine was a dvd case, but she scanned it. Too excited to notice if it had a barcode on or not though, sorry. They don't have an electrical counter in my tesco.

It's only buying blind if there is no SEL, in which case, avoid. As long as you've seen the 'magic price' in store, and no one spots it before you pay/get your xbox, you'll be charged the full price and can whip out your R's.

Would definately call back, the store will be in no rush to contact you, and could maybe even "forget".

When will they learn. Cs girl was moaning that they were told that the Xboxes were going up this week but didnt know when.

Had a spot of lunch then out again fishing!

The receipt also has the same qualities as the tickets in Willy Wonka if you know what I mean!

It brings a cheer to your heart to see everybody so happy with their consoles and CDs.

Just one more local store to try, only 50% success rate so far.

I have never attempted this before, so can some please give me a step by step guide on how to do this please? What do you say to CS exactly?

Also do you have to walk out the shop then go back in? If CS offers you the differnce as a refund, does this mean you can't claim at HO or should you refuse the difference and go home and ring HO?

Also their 28 day money back garuntee - does this apply on most products?


Thanks in advance
