£9.99! I'm not paying that when the cover of Casino Royale doesn't even match!

 

But surely that will make it a collector's item in the years to come. Think I may buy it and never open it up. As surely they'd produce a new set with matching DVD covers?!

If you don't open it you'll never be sure it's the different cover edition...

 

It's all a bit Schrodinger's cat tbh.

If you guys had ordered it at £9.99, will Play actually honour it?

 

If they do, I'm going to feel like a right numpty as I had the chance too buy the boxset at that price last night.

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Surely if you have already made payment and it has gone through their system then they are obliged to honour it?

 

Just a guess.

That's why they don't take the payment straight away.

No obligation to honour the incorrect price chaps. There was a precedent set a few years ago when Argos (I believe) made a similar faux pas.

Interestingly though, if this were in the High Street many stores might honour the 'incorrect' price.

They might, as a goodwill gesture, to a single opportunistic customer. They can also be fined £2000 per item for incorrectly marked goods. However, the very fact that news of this sort of mistake spreads like wildfire on the 'net and can cost a company hundreds of thousands, all over a typo or mis-inputted figure, is why the rules are different.
