HMV XBOX 360 for £50* offer?

penguin666_2

I was walking passed HMV today and saw an offer scribbled on a whiteboard outside the shop that said something along the lines of "Buy an XBOX 360 + 2 Games for £50" Then it said the * was "When you open an HMV storecard account". I was in a hurry so didn't go inside to ask about it.

I was wondering if anybody knows anything about this. Is it just £50 because the rest will be put on the storecard to pay back later or is there some sort of minimum spend required on storecards, where they'll make their money back?

Thanks for any help

Sure it was a Xbox 360 not just an Xbox?

I suspect it probably means buy an xbox 360 at full RRP and you can also buy two games for £50.

Im pretty sure it said XBOX 360. It was at the HMV in durham and it was handwritten on a whiteboard outside the shop.

It said the same out side Durham Branch

A man went and complained as obviously it wasn't exactly what was advertised, he was on the phone in the store with a member of staff when I left the store.

It is blatant mis-advertising tho.

EDIT: On the flip chart/board it did actually say 'Buy and XBox 360 and 2 Games for £50*'
At the bottom it said
*if you open up a hmv store card
(newline - not starred) subject to terms and conditions

probably some sort of credit card thing, pay £50 now and the rest in installments, with interest added :rolleyes:
