[Official UK] Xbox 360 Special Offers & Deals

[Pheee]

I just done it on You're in the Movies and it worked fine, ?2.99:))

If i successfully get it i will do some more.

I dont see why you wouldnt get it, mine was dispatched already.

[Lingwo]

Yeah I know it will, just in case game happen to pull it just as I have a go at the little trick :p

Aw GAME must be making so much losses due to this silly error. XD

[MightyJordan]

To get it to work for Mass Effect 2 put ME2, Crysis (360) and Crysis (PS3) in basket and checkout, and ME2 should have the tenner taken off it, the same should work for Forza 3.

It worked!!! :D Thanks, Rob!

Yeah I'm not sure if that was pointed out or not, but you need to add the item you want first. The voucher takes the ?10 off the first item only.

Myabe that's why some of you aren't able to get ME2 / FM3 for cheaper?

[acnpt]

Ive just got movies/camera for ?2.99 by adding it first.

Thinking about buying some points for ?7.50, to use when the new GTA dlc comes out.

Yeah, I pointed that out last week, but it still didn't work with Tony Hawk Ride.

Oh well.

[Pheee]

Yep a friend had all his cancelled,

They said authorised for packing, then they were cancelled.

[coresx]

I pre ordered two games. Still safe so far...but I guess they will get round to cancelling them too.

[Kravex]

Maybe a good time to remove your bank details from the site....

Why would you say that?

If the order is complete they cannot just charge more because of a glitch on their site, which has been around for ages.

UFC 2009: Undisputed - ?22.99 @ Amazon.co.uk

@ Play.com

[Brian M. Veteran]

They've just dispatched one of my orders using this method, so I guess they're tracking it down on a case-by-case basis and it's a case of how (un)lucky you are.

[+Nik Louch Subscriber²]

Aw crud, was just about to order Movies...

Getting a good deal due to an oversight is one thing, actively exploiting it is another, just ask any MP.

If they did start taking back the money, ?I was ripping them off and they found out!? will fall on deaf ears at the customer services department or any legal advice agency.

Remember they didn?t list the item at ?10 off; you entered an agreement with them to get that price by purchasing something else which you then later cancelled, the law would probably be on their side if they asked you to return the item or pay the difference.

Well removing bank details will not do anything then if thats the way you put it.

Depends on how good their backups are and lets face it their IT dept. is pretty rubbish LOL :D

:cry: My wages were gonna go in tomorrow, and I was gonna order two more lots of cheap Microsoft Points.

On the plus side, all four of my pre-orders (Mass Effect 2, Forza 3, DiRT 2, and Halo 3 ODST) are still there. :)

[JoeC]

[Lingwo]
