Page 1 of BHD & MONSERS INC in comet`s BOGOF offer

Just thought i`ll let you know a further devlopment in the Comet buy one get one free offer, that as we know included Black Hawk Down.

Well on entering my local store i headed toward their DVD stand. Firstly there was no mention of a BOGOF offer, or any stickers on the DVD boxes. Anyway i headed to the counter to inquire, and was told that the offer was still on and was given a list of the DVDs on offer. Looking down they were all rubbish or i had them (excpet BHD) so with the list in hand i just left the shop.

On the way out i noticed a poster advertising the offer. The poster inculded DVDs that we not on the list i was given. I therefore re enterd the shop and explalined this. I told them there list must be missing a few DVDs, as the poster clearly proved. I then went on to tell a white lie and told them that head office had told me that monsters inc was on the offer too. The guy said there must be an error in the list and gave it me.

Great BHD and Monsters Inc for £20.

I bet this can be done on any other DVD, so give it a try. Look for the poster and ask for the list, then LIE.

If Monsters Inc. is on the poster advertising the BOGOF then it must be in the offer otherwise it is misleading and I expect many people will complain to the indrustry watch dogs on this.

However, I am not going to lie but rather argue the case and use you and the poster as an example.

By the way, it is just the standard edition or the collector`s and at what branch. I am in Milton Keynes and would like to hear other people`s comments first.

come on, you can get monsters inc for £12.99 on cdwow anyway so what`s the big deal!

its the collectors edition, the one with two discs.

the big deal is that this method could be used for to get any DVD you wish. I choose Monster Inc because i wanted too. Nothing to stop you getting Greese , Dirty Dancing or any girly film you like rich.

Fair enough, if there`s a decent offer on, but I can`t believe anyone would go to such trouble just to save a couple of quid!!! Sad man!!!

Tut-tut!



Thou shalt not bear false witness!

So,General, do you believe in God? Oooh, Deja vu..
Sorry gents for the slight off-topic remark but you took me back a while General..

Ste

chris, i would have done the same thing.......No big deal folks

A company that rips off its customers, has no sense of customer service and over prices DVDs needs, i feel, to be taught a lesson. This is my little go at them. If we all did the same look at the postion they would be in.

If my girlfriend was not there i would have pocketed the DVD and a TV on the way out.

DOWN with the high street electrical shop.

I posted this on the other thread about this offer, after I had trouble getting BHD. Our shop had no promotional stuff out advertising this offer either. If you didn`t know from on here, you`d never have known:

"Thanks chris_* for that snippet of info. Just been back to our Comet to see if they now knew about the offer. I looked in the paper you mentioned, and showed the lad I dealt with last time. He was still umming and ahhing as to whether it was included or not. The paper is a bit unclear cos it says buy one get one free on selected titles, then shows 4 DVD`s Monsters Inc and BHD included, but doesn`t actually say that these 4 are in the offer.

Anyway, one of the other guys came over and said they`d had word of the offer, and it started last Saturday until this coming Sunday (which I thought was weird cos people were buying it on here before then), anyway, he said the offer is:

Buy ANY £19.99 DVD and choose another for a lower price free. Some of the other ones were obivously inflated prices though. They had Rush Hour 2 for £16 when we bought it for £7.99, and loads of other places have it at that price too. Our BHD was now priced at £19.99 not £19.90 as they were before. So we got A Knights Tale as the free one....success at last :-)"

So the offer is you can choose any lower priced DVD so long as you buy a £19.99 one. According to them though, it was supposed to finish last Sunday.
