Pc World - mistake in Xbox picture - will they honour it?

FloFlo

Just noticed that Pc World are showing the xbox 360 premium with PES 6 and splinter cell and a media remote for £279. Should be £339, are they likely to honour this if you take a print out in.

Most places seem to, currys do 99% of the time if they misprice things...

why do you thing this is wrong? could it just be a good deal?

It is the wrong picture it should only have pes 6 with the console. They selling the bundle with all of it for £339.

i dont think so, the description and title are clear.

Definitely looks like the wrong picture to me....could be a bargain if they honour it

Anyone fancy trying it, I'm still recovering from unsuccessful r&r on an xbox at Tesco.

Wouldn't bet on it, yesterday I went into pc-world with an advert from fridays sun newspaper advertising a pc with a 512mb graphics card for £700 but long story short pc-worlds policy is that if an advert or whatever is wrong they just take it off the shelf and dont sell it to you.

Absolutely, 100%. (No that is.)

That's a completely different matter. If they have a printed advert with a misleading description and they refuse to sell you it you should immediately report them to Trading Standards AND the Advertising Standards Authority.

I'm sure I saw this package advertised on TV last night for this price at PC World. Seems the best offer around currently, except if you managed to get a free one out of Tescos!!!

I don't think this is true, a retailer normally has a disclaimer in case of mis-prints plus they are well within their rights to refuse to sell and item and withdraw it from sale rather than do it at the incorrect price.
