[Aretak]

A few decent titles in the £2.99 section (Serenity, Lord of War 2-discer, Terminator 2 UE, Broken Flowers).

[mikezero]

Top bargain indeed!

Thx for the heads up.

[Markead]

Just gone through the whole sale and could find nothing of interest.

Usual Play sale. 80% off rubbish = still not worth having.

[hookbeak]

yoda forcefx saber is £49.99 - £20 cheaper than anywhere else.

As i only bought a maul on saturday, my wife will kill me if i get this too. she claims 5 lightsabers is enough. crazy witch.

Has to be a mistake but gone for one anyway, Cheers OP

[thefunkygibbon]

gone for the gfx card. not sure if me psu can handle it. and i hope its quiet. but at that price its silly not too.

[H Dot]

Last few weeks little miss sunshine was £5 now in the the sale its £4.99 wow wot a bargain!!

[davecarter]

gone for the gfx card. not sure if me psu can handle it. and i hope its quiet. but at that price its silly not too.

So tempted to by 2 and SLI them, but if its a cock up less likely to come off if you order more than one :thinking:

[floyd]

Gone for the graphics card.. seems a steal at that price

[Quinten]

Just bought Need for Speed Carbon for the XBox at £9.99, which seemed like a good deal... makes a nice present in any case :)

[Radyr]

Have seen this model go for £80-90 second hand so would expect you to be able to sell it for a small profit anyway!

[pstables]

gone for the gfx card, rude not to at the price

[smiffysmiff]

can you definitely SLI these cards? And are they that good a deal? If so may go for a couple myself.

I currently have a GeForce 7900GS - is this better than the one I have ?

[smiffysmiff]

looks like theyre gone anyway:(

[Radyr]

Graphics card is now out of stock. Proof that if you snooze you lose!

[azrael1]

You can't even find them any more on the website. Im pretty sure it was a mistake.

[Radyr]

Hmm it says "Awaiting Stock" in my Order Listing. I better get one :mad:

[derthballs]

Mine says "packing" :)

[floyd]

Mine also says awaiting stock.. it was definitely in stock when I ordered

[cpa]

Hmm it says "Awaiting Stock" in my Order Listing. I better get one :mad:
mines packing i went for a 7900gtx

[azrael1]

the 7900 gtx is far superior to the 8600, nice one !

[davecarter]

Mine also says awaiting stock.. it was definitely in stock when I ordered

Same here so will be gutted if it doesnt come off

[moko7t8]

mine say awaiting stock , i ordered 2 for SLI.

[azrael1]

I think if your order says awaiting stock, you won't get one. Looks like they were clearing out old inventory as a guess.

[cpa]

im sure i saw an ati x700 for £200 seems very strange!

[derthballs]

The 8600 BFG GTS

Load of tshirts for a fiver including Foos, Killers, Green Day - refreshingly in greys/whites rather than black as well.

[losimagic]

Call of Duty 3 on the 360 for £17.99 is good

[JimDriver2]

Toshiba 32" HD TV for £399.99. Could be a good deal for someone, not got one myself but it looks decent.

[msm13579]

went for mercury earlier but it seems to be out of stock now and my order says awaiting stock - hope it comes off.

both series of ghost in the shell were ~£24 each when i looked this morning - good price imo :)

[rubbafish]

Yep, I went for the T2 one. Seemed a good price I thought.

that cracked me up - :notworthy

[Admiral_Ackbar]

Is £17.99 for the 2GB Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo a good price? Seem to remember paying a bit more than that for my 1GB card a year or so ago.

[J M]

Got McRae Dirt on the 360, but nothing else struck me, a pretty poor sale imo. Most of the previous £5 titles seem to have been reduced by a whole penny!

T2 and War Of The Worlds 2 disc editions for £2.99 are decent prices, although I've already got them both.

[saif]

got myself AVP Special extreme edition for £3.99 which is a bargain....

looking at the Venom bust for 24.99 now... hmmm

[donk]

Picked up Final Destination Trilology for £7.99. Not bad!

[Harsin]

This seems pretty bargaintastic, Tony Hawk's Project 8 + Free Skateboard Deck for £17.99.

[cough] Almost certainly a fake [cough]

[Raziel]

[cough] Almost certainly a fake [cough]
Really?? Would you be able to tell when you got it?

[john316]

Its difficult to expose the fakes other than checking to see if Magicgate is enabled when you check the card on the PSP. But the Sony cards do not retail anywhere close to that price - I would not touch ANY 'official' Sony Pro Duo cards that are suspiciously cheap as they will more than likely fail within 6-12 months or you end up finding the actual capacity is far less than the reported amount. Buy a Sandisk one or a Sony card at a more realistic price at a genuine retailer and not via Ebay/Amazon Marketplace is my advice.

Bound to be collectible if there are only 1000 of the game decks made :thumbs:

[Wilson]

they got a 2gig SD card for 12 quid which will be handy for my new camera :) I just noticed the 32" Toshiba 32WL66 for £400, anyone know if thats any good, seems a lot off the asking price.

It's about £100 cheaper than the average price available elsewhere, selling for between £495 and £550 at the moment in a lot of places.

Yes, it's a fantastic 32" lcd television (- pre C and X series models). I thought they'd disappeared for good, but it looks like Play.com (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump2.php?url=http://playcom.at/thedvdforums) found some more stock. Basically, it's the analogue only tuner version of the 32WLT66 (http://www.trustedreviews.com/tvs/review/2006/05/08/Toshiba-32WLT66-32in-LCD-TV/p1). The worse thing about this model is the crappy remote, but that's about it.

[Snoopy]

So you wouldn't carry on shopping with Play, a company you obviously have been happy with up till now if you have 30 pages of order history with them, because they won't honour a mis price.:cuckoo::lol:

No of course not but at the very least an email explaining why wouldnt have gone amiss.

[moko7t8]

I see your 30 pages and raise you over 2000 items (was going to say pages but it all depends on how many items you didplay on a page)

[AFC]

I'd hazzad a guess and say it was a missprice:shrug:

did anyone get a message saying posted??

[marcburrage82]

Forum member in "i'll never shop with them after they backed out of obvious misprice" scandal. I'm sure Play will now go under without your custom. I'll give them the heads up so they can break the news to their staff.

[derthballs]

It wasnt a mis price, they just didnt have many stock. If it was a mis price mine and a few other guys who got in early wouldnt have got them either. I reckon they only had 10-20.

[davecarter]

Exactly, just an explaination to others who ordered would have been perfectly acceptable.

[Marek]

I agree an email would of been in order. The fact that they dont is quite rude. Plus no email address to ask them why they cancelled it.

[lennylenny]

I must have missed out by minutes - can't have been long after your post mate. Gutted - I'm long overdue an upgrade!!! Cheers anyway

[hnimmo]

I agree an email would of been in order.They should never cancel an order without sending out an e-mail explaining why.

I placed a pre-order on 23 April, 2007, for the Trigun Boxset which was advertised for sale at £14.99. They cancelled the order on 10 May, 2007, and failed to notify me so it was only a few weeks ago that I noticed the said cancellation. I have no problem with a company cancelling mis-prices but they should have the decency to notify the customer accordingly.

[MetalGearAl]

Well my order of the PGR3 + Wireless Controller (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump2.php?url=http://playcom.at/thedvdforums?DURL=http://www.play.com//ProductOutline.aspx?title=3276029&r=X360) still has a status of "Order Taken", and that was made in Dec 06 :)

I've never received an email from the about the cancelled order. Why? Because it looks like they haven't cancelled it, they just "forget" about it.

[Lonners]

My GFX card got cancelled too. Did some make it through then?

I bought one of those 2GB SD digital cards for £8.99 (inc delivery) yesterday (shipped today):

2GB Play.com Secure Digital Card (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump2.php?url=http://playcom.at/thedvdforums?DURL=http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/912163/-/Product.html?)

At that price with a five year warranty, the size of it and a 66x write speed (this isn't actually mentioned on the page but I checked elsewhere) I thought it was a decent buy (it must have dropped in price over the past day or two). :thumbs:

EDIT - Though I see two people on that page have left it with bad reviews. One of them (3/5 rating) because it isn't the kind of card that is compatible with a PSP (wouldn't be hard because it doesn't take SD cards afaik) and the other left a 2/5 rating simply to ask if it would work with a PSP. :suspect:
