  1. Deal of the day reaally?


    Been trying for past hour to buy Lucy, advertised for 4.99 and each time I click on it it isn't 4.99 but 8.99

    What gives? Or was this an advertised deal in the hopes that no-one would notice the price swith until it was too late?

    :)

    Deal of the Day!

    Table Tennis is going for 5$. Would definitely be picking it up if I didn't already have it. Batman 2 for 10$ isn't as much of a steal, but It's what I got.

    Deal of the Day!

    "Rockstar's Table Tennis" is a genius game.



    It's fun to play and each of the characters has been designed to have an annoying trait that will make you absolutely hate them.



    Good fun in SP or MP.



    How much are they wanting for it?

    I thought the deal of the day was Sunset.

  5. Movies, deal of the day is Lucy.

    Lucy is part of the deal of the day in movies not games. Advertised for 4.99 but is also listed in the 8.99 listing. Trouble is, when you click on Lucy 4.99 what comes up is Lucy for 8.99

    So it's not the 'Deal of the day' but rather. The SCAM of the day!

    Glad I caught it before hand, for it's so so easy to miss.

    I'm sure it's not a scam. It's most likely a mistake.

    The very idea that someone at MS deliberately attempts such an elaborate "scam" is pretty absurd really........

    Other than false advertising, what else could you call it Gench?

    The ad read. Lucy $4.99 but when you clicked on it (Whether on the 360 or X1) it brought up the correct movie but with a completely different price tag.

    I don't know what you would call it, but from the perception of a potiential customer. I call it a scam!

    It would be a scam if it said $4.99 and it also said $4.99 on the confirmation screen, but then charged you $8.99. That's the beauty of the confirmation screen. You can check the price before you click "confirm". I know I always do to make sure I get it
    at the price as advertised and I presume everyone else does as well.

    I'd call it a genuine mistake.

    Make a post about it in the support section to bring it to their attention. MS employees read them and they can flag it to the appropriate people.

  10. Deal of the day for Lucy is over as it is now Monday not Sunday.

    As for your assessment. Sorry, but I don't see it that way. No, whatever an ad reads is what they will have to honor. Whether it was an employee or outside ad agency who may have made a 'mistake' makes no difference. For both are repersentives of the company.
    So if for example an ad reads. 'Xbox One Elite with 2 free games of your choice for $299' and upon clicking it redirects you to a PS4 bundle. Like it or not. MS has to honor what they advertised for. So to keep things like from happening, companies has oversite
    (QC depts etc) to prevent such things.

    However, in this case. It's clearly evident to me that they don't have any such dept.

    Well I didn't say they don't have to honor it. I was just saying I didn't think it was a scam. I think it was a genuine mistake. Whether or not they honor it is a different story/issue.

    They do not have to honor mistakes made in pricing. That's an urban myth (at least in the UK) A genuine mistake is simply that.

    Deal of the day reaally?

    Under UK law there are conditions they have to meet to allow them to not honor the price, but they are all achievable.

    I remember about a year ago they had Lords of the Fallen priced at €9.99 for about an hour. I bought it, but it was a mistake. An hour later it was priced at €25.99. I was lucky enough to get it on the cheap for a tenner.
