    I was just about to post about it.

    I've ordered one - here's hoping? :D

    Am I missing something ?
    Total: £277.82
    Promotional Gift Certificates: -£144.18

    What's the Gift Certificate ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,772 ✭✭✭bazwaldo


    Its the Littlewoods PC all over again. Oh the excitement with the inevitable disappointment when they cop on. Pity its Friday as they are bound to cop on by Monday before any dispatch can happen.

    At least there is more chance of amazon honouring than littlewoods imho.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    "Sorry, we cannot honour your order"

    Well, well now what can I tell little Jimmy on Christmas morning?:mad:

    *sigh* Fine, have a coupon for 10 quid off your next order

    *silent giggle*

    I said I wasn't going to get sucked into another one of these mis-price scenarios but I just couldn't stop myself.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 746 ✭✭✭absolutegroove


    I should have said that you dont need the gift certificate. Just put the items in to your basket.

    Well worth a shot anyway


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 746 ✭✭✭absolutegroove


    I didnt have or use any gift certificates associated with my account Calm Horizons.

    And I ain't trolling.

    Apologies, I should have checked before replying; this is indeed real. Well spotted :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 746 ✭✭✭absolutegroove


    No problem Calm Horizons.

    I just hope the deal works?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,010 ✭✭✭besty


    Ordered one myself. I doubt this will be honoured. Don't even know why I even ordered one. Already have an ordinary 360...Yet another Bargain Alerts impulse buy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,445 ✭✭✭jd83


    Also ordered. What happens if the dont honour it. They cant make me buy it at the full price? I take it they cancel it.

    The amount of crap I buy because of this section of boards. I should ask a mod to ban me so i cant see bargain alerts.

    aye can only cancel can't force a higher charge.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,695 ✭✭✭Darwin


    Thanks OP long shot but certainly worth a try.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26 BingBlangBlaow


    The Op should have more thanks added.

    Thanks OP.

    Just figured out that when viewing the basket I add the gift certificate at the bottom :) While leaving blank. :D

    Even though I don't need this :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 690 ✭✭✭poochiem


    almost ordered that...just about to click when i saw that the price suddenly had jumped back to 270. absolutely no need for an xbox but had that 'bargain' feeling. thanks OP and i look forward to finding out if this gets delivered.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,907 ✭✭✭✭Kristopherus


    Ordered. Gave me a total of £140. Went for it. Hope it goes through. Thanks OP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 463 ✭✭walshy123

    No, seems they have fixed their mistake. The "offer" no longer works now.

    EDIT: Seems to be still some sort of offer going, but not as before....

    Items: £277.82
    Postage & Packing: £0.00
    Total: £277.82
    Promotion Applied: -£72.09
    Order Total: £205.73

    Maybe the Wireless Pack was supposed to be free as part of a promo but they accidentally added the promotion credit twice?


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 9,654 Mod ✭✭✭✭mayordenis


    now we play the waiting game


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,892 ✭✭✭spank_inferno


    gawwwd damn!

    Still a good price at £205 delivered, if you really wanted an Xbox360


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,195 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Appears to be expired now.

    Best of luck to all those who purchased.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,195 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Gonna merge this with the existing thread..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,096 ✭✭✭✭the groutch


    can still get console with one regular game for just over £170


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,249 ✭✭✭✭Kinetic^


    It's always Basquille that has us hoping for this stuff. I think he enjoys messing with our heads! :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,824 ✭✭✭ShooterSF


    Missed out. I would have appreciated a cheap 360 voucher for their error.

    Got on this wagon myself. Here's to hopin!

    I wonder if (when, in fairness) we inevitably receive our "Oh, listen, that was our bad..." emails; could enough pressure be put on to force them to honour for the purpose of PR. Amazon can take the hit FAR more than Littlewoods would be willing to I reckon...

    As an aside; should this go through for me, this will be the 3rd xbox elite I will have purchased in the last 6 weeks for <€150. The other 2 were a) 150 crappy DVD's I was given traded in to Gamestop, and b) The Square Tallaght first 10 customers offer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,445 ✭✭✭jd83


    Delivery #1: Dispatching Soon We are preparing these items for dispatch and this part of your order cannot be cancelled or changed. Need information on returning an item?

    Mines changed to that and the they have taken the cash off my card. Also wont let me cancel it now. So looking good so far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,195 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    In my experience.. if they've taken the cash off your card, you'll get it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,445 ✭✭✭jd83


    Has everybody elses changed to that and cash taken.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,396 ✭✭✭lindtee


    No, but I just cancelled extra 2 items that I had included in the order to see would it change my status and now the grand total for the xbox and the game pack is coming in at £61.55:confused::confused: Not a snowballs chance in hell that I'll get the lot for that much.:eek:

    thats weird did you order when you first posted as that would mean i ordered after you. Yet mine is closer to dispatch


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,956 ✭✭✭consultech


    Nothing on mine yet, i cant see my statement during the month though, have to wait for letter in the door... Mine isn't even appearing as a recent order on my amazon account orders yet either :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 746 ✭✭✭absolutegroove


    Yep, I ordered just before I posted the offer :(

    Ah well, just gotta wait and see!

    Hope this offer works out for the rest of ye.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,015 ✭✭✭Zardoz

    It will end up costing you money so,due to the exchange rate differences.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,445 ✭✭✭jd83


    Yh i know but it was worth the risk if i actually ended up getting it. Plus they might make up the cost in vouchers for messing up.

    edit: Just got this

    Reading the HUKD thread, seems a fair few people got dispatch emails, but seems about twice as many so far have gotten cancellation emails. Read from about page 29 if you want to follow that thread.

    http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/504566/xbox-360-elite-console-with-120gb-h?page=29

    My order is still there as "not yet dispatched".

    I've just received the cancellation email also.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,695 ✭✭✭Darwin


    Mine cancelled too


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 62 ✭✭Calm Horizons


    Mine was cancelled :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 746 ✭✭✭absolutegroove


    I havent received any cancellation email yet.

    I'll post when I do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,614 ✭✭✭The Sparrow


    Hard luck lads. I saw this last night just after it expired and was hoping that all of you would get away with it.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 32,865 ✭✭✭✭MagicMarker


    I haven't got a cancellation either.
