Surely a misprice, but ordered anyway!:D

Mizu_Ger · 12-12-2008 9:05am

Is that the correct link? It says

Release date: 20-4-2009
Format: DVD
Number of Discs: 1
Catalogue Number: 3314501049
Label: FOXVIDEO

So it doesnt look like Blu-ray!

I've justed mailed them (product at hmv.co.uk) so we'll see what they say.

I've just cancelled my order, blurays are fine but I dont need these in dvd format again... lol.
Would have been nice of them to email us to tell us they had made a mistake on the format though... wouldnt have been too happy if a DVD set arrived.

That wouldn't make any sense, as the X-Men 1,2,3 DVD boxset has been out since last year and costs only £7.99:

The world seems to know: http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=75355

Also this post: I am on hold at the moment with HMV's Customer service department who are going to tell me exactly what this product is...

And the answer is...

That is infact the Pre-Order price for ALL 3 Movies !! As soon as it comes out the price will go up !!

According to the forum above, it seems it's actually Dvd, not Blu-ray. Says Dvd on my a/c page too.

I've cancelled my order.

Thx anyway, OP.

PowerHouseDan · 12-12-2008 5:25pm

I am Goin to Argue my case with them Here, Because i order A BLU RAY Version, States so in my email. Now i Have Emailed them to find out the Story but i wont be Cancelling That Easy Yet.

Basq · 12-12-2008 5:32pm

If it says Blu-ray in your order e-mail, definitely stick with it with closer to the release date.

They'd be required to notify you if the product changed.

But here is the question, why have pre-orders for a DVD boxset that has already been out for the last two years and is £2 cheaper?

Moon54 · 12-12-2008 10:37pm

I changed my mind after having read the forum post http://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.php?p=1396874&postcount=34 , their own customer service says it's dvd only.

Anyway, i'm not pushed. It was an impluse buy, anyway.

Received this from them:

Dear HMV Customer

We are writing to you in relation to your order for the following item:

Cat.No: 3314501049 Barcode: 5039036040631
Artist: JACKMAN, HUGH: IAN MCKELLEN: PATRICK STEWART: HALLE BERRY
Title : X-MEN 1/2/3: LAST STAND

We are very sorry, but it has come to our attention that the item appeared
on our web site with the incorrect format of Blu Ray. The set advertised
is actually a new DVD set, due for release in April 2009. At present there
are no confirmed release details for a Blu Ray set of the above title. We
will not therefore process your order.

The terms and conditions governing our online sales state that your order
is only accepted, and a contract between us formed, when HMV receive
payment for the goods you have ordered. HMV have not yet taken payment for the goods listed above, nor taken the final step of confirming the shipment
of your order to you by email (please see point b. in the section entitled
‘The Contract Between US’ on the first page of our Terms and Conditions.
We are therefore under no legal obligation to sell the item to you.

Please accept our sincere apologies for this error. We don’t like having
to take this course of action, and apologise that we have had to do so in
this instance.

If you would still like to order the item on DVD format, you may do so via
the HMV web site.

Kind Regards,

HMV Online Customer Service Team

So I reckon that's that.
