They could argue that it was advertised as £70 on the site when you clicked the Add to Cart button and that you would have seen this. In reality, if they realise the mistake (highly likely) they will either just cancel all the orders with an explanation email, or ask if you want to keep the order with a possible discount, or simply at full price.

The part that deals with the money has processed the order at £5, so I'm sure they would be breaking the law if they changed the amount without notification though.


That said, ordered!

At that price it's got to be worth a go, ordered.

Thanks Daz.

Dear COLIN

We are writing to you with regards to an order you have placed via the HMV web site for the following item:
Cat.No: 0882224483988
Artist: XBOX 360 GAME
Title : HALO 3: LEGENDARY EDITION

Due to a technical error, this item has appeared for pre-order on the HMV web site but it is not yet available for purchase. We are still waiting to hear about stock availability and the price of this item from our supplier. We cannot, therefore, accept any pre-orders for the item.

If you are interested in receiving information as to when the item will be available to pre-order, you may like to sign up to the new 'Notify Me' service that has recently launched on the web site. By registering your email address, it will ensure that as soon as we start taking pre-orders for the product, you will receive a notification email.

For further information, please Click Here >>>

The terms and conditions governing our online sales state that an order is only accepted, and a contract between us formed, when HMV receives 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 your shipment 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 apologies for any disappointment caused.

Kind Regards,

HMV Online Customer Service Team

Oh well, worth a try.

Just got the same email. None too bothered, never finished Halo nor played Halo 2, but at a fiver it was well worth a punt.
