    It seems to good to be true, I was discussing it on another forum and I heard it was meant to be £29.99 when they actually ordered it

    Just incase someone thinks hmv are going to back out. Seems they won't be allowed.

    Yeah, My guess would be that its meant to be £29:99, But my order went through fine. They haven't charged my card yet, But i think that is normal until they actually are ready to ship.

    Thanks thor, ordered too. AFAIK something like this happened before and they just canceled everyones order, because they dont actualy charge the card until it leaves.
    I didn't get an confirmation email, did you?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,170 ✭✭✭✭ED E


    Doubt they'll honor it but you never know. Ordered one. If they reject it'll just be credited back so there's no risk really.

    I think you can add the code immediately and it just supplements your current membership. eg. it'll make your expiry Feb 2012 AFAIK

    I had one for like four months no trouble.


    Just got the email, was spamboxed on the mail server.

    Crap, literally bought 12 month sub yesterday for 30 odd euro :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,832 ✭✭✭✭Blatter


    Just ordered 10 of them for €62.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,271 ✭✭✭Yggr of Asgard


    Your account will not be debited until your order has been despatched at which point our acceptance of your order takes place.


    The fact that they send an order confirmation does not mean they have accepted the order, that ony happens if they actualy charge the card and send the order.

    So it's a very wide door they have to run out of this deal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 502 ✭✭✭sarah88


    Thanks for the post OP just got the confirmation email :D what a bargin:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,738 ✭✭✭mawk


    Just ordered 10 of them for €62.

    I wish you hadn't, that's what gets these great deals discovered and remedied

    I think it's too big not to get discovered regardless...hopefully it comes through, doubt it though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,591 ✭✭✭johnnyrotten


    Just got mine too. Thanks OP

    You really think LIVE will still be around in 10 years time?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 175 ✭✭Rochie IRL


    I ordered two and the server hung and I didn't think it was processed. I went back in and ordered 3 as my basket was empty. Then got two confirmation emails confirming both orders. Lets see what happens. I wasn't been greedy either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,631 ✭✭✭Thor


    Maybe i shouldn't have told people about this!! lol

    Nah screw it, If HMV are going to renege then they will renege either way

    As its says on the site, Pre-order price guaranteed, Meaning they cannot change the price but could still cancel the order. Lets hope they don't and just fix the problem.

    Got most of them as X-mas presents for few friends and two brothers and cousin. Couple for myself.

    You plan on gaming on xbox for the next 10 years? Surely there will be a newer better console by then :)

    You really think he's not going to sell them?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,115 ✭✭✭Pacifico


    Or you could sell them on....

    I saw this over on HUKD last night and they were already getting cancellation emails.

    Yep orders like that will fúck it up for everyone, or just sell them off as an inflated price to take advantage

    Just ordered one but to be honest I'll be shocked if I don't get a cancellation email in the next 24 hours.
    Still, no harm trying :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,633 ✭✭✭Fol20


    How do you sign up for hmv,it says i need a purehmv card?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 120 ✭✭ciaburkie


    ordered this too...check the order status to see if there was anything extra, release date says its out on the 29th so id say if they do cancel, we will all get messages on friday or something


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,664 ✭✭✭✭vectra


    Just ordered 2 :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,951 ✭✭✭L5

    Thanks Thor, doubt it'll go through however :)

    £2.50 shipping per item is terrible. They'd get more orders from me if it was lower or combined. It's a pity really, they can be competitive with other sites before you factor in the shipping.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,345 ✭✭✭jamescd


    Just ordered 2 there :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,834 ✭✭✭Raoul


    Hope they uphold this. Do people here think its likely?


  • Posts: 8,717 [Deleted User]


    I ordered this yesterday and got my cancellation email yesterday. So no they won't unfortunately....

    What about their pre order guarantee?

    HMV have made many a pricing error before, have a quick search. Unless it's a very small pricing error, it has always been cancelled...

    Pre order guarantee doesn't mean anything. They don't need to Honour that price, if your card gets charged that price though, they have accepted the order and then you could argue with them if they turn around and say no.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 502 ✭✭✭sarah88


    Aw damn:mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,763 ✭✭✭Jax Teller


    Just ordered this wont be too upset if they notice the mistake :D


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,402 ✭✭✭Tinie


    Yeah ordered this last night when I saw it on HUKD, massive amounts of orders coming from there, the thread there has like 30 pages on it, with greedy idiots ordering bulk amounts at once! No chance we will get it though :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,085 ✭✭✭BeanFlicker
