An awesome free app that works perfectly. (I bought the paid for version, it's that good)

Have you paid for the goods already? if so they would have to honour the deal.

i've paid on my card and it's all gone through, i didnt think they did have to honour it if they had made a major fk up with price , im not sure how much it should be to be honest ,, the newer verison on their site is £60 with same memeory just looks more modern from what i can tell , so maybe it is a clearout price to get rid of the old ones or something but seems really cheap still
Report Laying Like Maria • January 18, 2010 8:50 AM GMT
Once you have paid, the contract has been formed. Like you said though, prob just an offer as the other one does look more snazzy lol
Report Jimbo747 • January 18, 2010 8:57 AM GMT
Additionsdirect work like very / littlewoods dont they? They charge the full price for the item, and then refund any vouchers (if you're lucky ;) )
Report THEArsenal • January 18, 2010 9:01 AM GMT
In online retail the contract isn't formed until the item is dispatched (usually buried within a companies online Ts&Cs).

The Hartog v Colin & Shields case covers them.
Report Laying Like Maria • January 18, 2010 9:15 AM GMT
The aresenal

A good read and the suffix at the bottom of Wikipedia explains re a 2.99 tv. Would you agree though the 24 for a hd is neither an obvious mistake, nor a deliberate advantage sought? I am right that in a shop, if you bought the TV for 2.99 then the deal is done so to speak.

Additions direct are huge. They won't go bust over selling a cheap hard drive.

They *might* go bust anyway, like so many other companies, but paying by credit card protects you anyway.

As far as needing that much storage, it's easy.

The drive will be used as a backup for my photography files. I shoot RAW data on my Nikon and each file weighs in at 13 Mb

On a typical day out I'll shoot 200 pictures, and maybe keep 100 of them so call it 1.3 Gigs for a day. The 320 Gig drive therefore is good for about 1 year of photos.

Anybody heard anything? Bought 2 with £10 off first buy voucher for £42 however email confirmation doesnt confirm my discount. Though suppose id still be happy at 2 for £50 if it wasnt a mistake.
Report Don No1 • January 19, 2010 8:36 AM GMT
From people's comments it seems that the help desk werent aware of any pricing errors and that the order will proceed as usual. Naturally still sceptical but you would have thought they might have cancelled the orders by now. As for the voucher, they charge you the full price and then refund later I believe
