    It's such a blatant obvious mistake, I hardly feel they need to make it up to people.....nobody really expected to get it....did they?

    A little note on the homepage explaining the situation would help. Or maybe removing the TV's from the site. They managed to remove the very bottom Sharp TV about 15 minutes ago (not the mispriced one), but it's back up there now. I don't know why they did it, but if they managed that I'm sure they can remove the mispriced ones as well!

    I didn't order, but YES they SHOULD make it up to people, not because of the pricing error but because they are cancelling orders with NO explanation and to rub it in the price is STILL £150 on their site, regardless of the fact that no TV's can be ordered at the moment because they all just go to a blank page.

    Hopefully the story will go in The Sun, Woolworths will then hopefully feel like total tw**s and compensate people for being so unprofessional about the whole affair.[/QUOTE
    They've hardly had chance to rectify it.....you're being very unfair
