Tesco cancels £35 Xbox 360 orders

Quick-thinking retailers and consumers that moved to snap up the Xbox 360 console bundle available for just 33.24 have had their orders cancelled.

As reported by MCV yesterday, the offer was available for a short time at the supermarket’s online retail site. Anyone that placed an order was sent the following email:

Thank you for you recent order for the Wireless Entertainment Pack from Tesco.com."

Unfortunately, there was an error in the product details at the time that you placed your order, the Wireless Entertainment Pack does not include an Xbox 360. As a result we have had to cancel your order. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions on the Tesco.com entertainment site for further details of our order acceptance policy. We apologise for this error.”

We note there may be customer interest in purchasing the Wireless Entertainment Pack including an Xbox 360. We are currently working hard to offer our customers an increased range of bundled products. We hope to have these available on Tesco.com Entertainment in the near future.”

The error had attracted mainstream press attention from Sky, whilst e-commerce site e-consultancy offered a detailed guide on the legalities of the subject.
