Playstation 3 Deposit Refund

I intended to buy a PS3 on launch day from a High Street store so I paid a £50 deposit to secure one.
However my circumstances have changed so I have a choice between missing a mortgage payment or not one so I am abandoning that idea.
Am I am to get my £50 refunded under consumer rights or is it discretionary with the store?

i think with game you can change your mind i heard that at work but not100% sure
with blockbuster £50 deposit is non refundable.Honesty is the best policy doesn't matter which web site
you are on!
if i had known then what i know now!
a bargain is only a bargain if you really need it!0 -
Game will certainly refund the deposit. Its part of the terms and conditions of it

Sorry should have said, its HMV Ive done it with and they have not made their policy clear0

hmm, they should do it =/ if not, just threaten to buy the machine and then get a refund. thats something they can't refuse to do.~Diminutive0

Nice approach Diminutive ! I am an HMV manager and you can certainly get a deposit refund, we will simply sell it to the next punter.0

Incidentally, just because you buy something you aren't automatically entitled to a refund simply because you threaten to buy it and refund it !0

Nope, but if you got it home and it 'didn't work'... Say for example that the fuse had blown.
Out of curiosity, are pre-orders covered by distance selling? After all, you're buying something that you haven't had a chance to inspect beforehand.

Our terms and conditions for PS3 pre-orders are available in store on a leaflet.
Why all the potential hassle and wasting HMV's time with this ? Would you really wanna risk spending £425 you haven't got then messing about getting a refund ?
Just get a deposit refund !0
