    There is zero chance of them honouring this this offer is all over the net by now and they stand to lose a couple of million quid by my reckoning. In a perfect world they would have to honour this deal, we all know they won't however.

    All the same, if you know they're not going to honour it why order 7? I dunno, like with the laptop (that should have been about £800) I would happily order 1 for myself, save myself £550, but I wouldn't order 10 and try to make a profit because in a way it's a bit unethical.

    Maybe I just don't have the moneymaking gene :p. It's like the people who preorder 10 Wiis and sell them 2x what they're supposed to be sold for.

    Well the way Im looking at it is I order 7 I may or may not get 7 lots of vouchers for my "inconvenience" the offer has no exclusivity due to the sheer number of people who have taken up this offer, regarding ethics. Is it ethical for companies such as Woolworths asda tescos etc hiring people from the 3rd world to work for peanuts to cut down on costs?
    Ethics works in funny ways my friend.

    I wasn't targetting you, just wondered why ordering 7 vs. 1 would be better? Either way, as for the third world, two wrongs don't make a right. I was just confused why you'd need 7. I doubt you'll get 7x the vouchers to be honest with you...

    No I know you wasn't targeting me. As to why I ordered 7 I ordered to what I have in my bank until tomorrow when I get paid, case of nothing ventured nothing gained, If by some miracle they all arrived not only would it take a lorry to get them to mine I would be about 7 grand to the good!!

    Looks like someone got one.

    They ordered it online, went to a store and showed them the receipt and got the TV.

    Good on him.

    eta: had to check the TV was in stock first though.

    GRRRRRRRrr

    Nintendo Wiis were in stock on amazon.co.uk. Someone was a greedy fucker though:
    I bet you don't get them, email in a few days saying sorry, the stock level has been showing 14 for the last 30 mins and ive odered 10 so that can't be right

    He's just trying to make a quick buck, think of all the parents who are trying desperately to get their kids one this christmas. What a lovely twat.

    If you've got the receipt printed off, phoned up the store to check they're in stock then I don't think they can stop you. Don't quote me though.

    Yea. As for the Nintendos, if you look on ebay the prices are normalising a bit now that places like amazon are getting them in stock. Should be able to pick one up for around £220 or something. So not masses of profit, just inconvenience. I think it should be one each. Maybe that's just me though.

    Oh dear, they're all being cancelled :p

    I'm not fussed about that, it's people ordering 10 Wiis that annoy me, because mainly the people who want Wiis are kids who are gonna be dissappointed for christmas when they don't get one. I suppose they're a reasonable enough price on eBay now but still...
