    Deal of the day reaally?


    @brand, just because you get lucky doesn't make it the rule.

    @king surely its better to have all the information so when it happens to you (or someone that reads a post) they have the right information, and not a half arsed internet opinion (statement was ment as a generalization and not a poke a this thread or the
    people in it).

  2. Looking at it from kingvas's perspective.

    If Lucy is a "crap movie" then why would I need a Lawyer when MS just saved me money by not honoring the price in the ad.

    I knew their had to be a Silver lining in all this scam somewhere!

    Thanks vas! Deal of the day reaally? ;)

    I didn't say it was the rule. I don't even know if there is a "rule" in the country I live in as I'm not from here.

    That's great that your store does that, but it doesn't have to in UK law if it's just priced incorrectly.

  13. Deal of the day reaally?

    ^Yep.

    I've been in stores (in the US) that actually have small print on some signage that clearly states the store will not honor pricing typos. There is no law stating they must. The price is an offer, not an obligation and expecting the absence of human error
    is unreasonable.

    If the OP really wanted this film he would have contacted support and pointed out that there's a deal advertised on the marketplace that isn't working at the advertised price.

    Instead he baited a bunch of people on an interweb forum who don't work for Microsoft and they all swallowed it hook, line and sinker.

  15. Tzar, believe me. If MS had a buy back program I would be more than happy to take the 300 + dollars I paid for my X1 and use it towards other things.

    One thing would be getting my cell phone repaired and continuing service on it. But that's not happening anytime soon so I'll just have to nickel and dime it until such time as I can afford it.

    'contact support' Right, and tell them what exactely? Hello, xbox support. Yes, this past Sunday xbox had an ad for Lucy (Movie) for $4.99 but when I clicked the link it read. $8.99... Okay sir let me check that!... Ummm.. I am not finding any ad for Lucy
    for $4.99 you sure you saw one sir?

    Yes, around 10 PM EST this past Sunday (When xbox support was closed btw) the $4.99 ad was there but it's now Monday so you wont find the dailey deal ad for sunday today.. XBS: Is this a prank call?

    That's about the way it would go in the US, UK may be different IDK, so does that help sum it up for ya Azrael?

    Deal of the day reaally?

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
