david.dakota Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Bit of a heads up here guys. Sainsbury's have stickered WiiFit Plus + board bundle at £19.99. Do not expect to walk out of the store with it at that price; but after a lengthy discusion with a store manager and a call to the customer care line, I was offered a £20 gift card.

I had the same thing happen with Guitar Hero: World Tour last year, the whole kit labelled at £39.99. They don't have to sell it to you at that price, but if they don't then they MUST remove the whole lot from sale for the remainder of that trading day. The item in question then has to go back on at the correct price the following day.

The item in question then has to go back on at the correct price the following day. I must admit that on the Friday, I had pointed the mistake out to a member of Sainsbury's staff. A good deed for the day. Returning there on Saturday, it was still on sale at the lower price, so (feeling in the mood to prove a point) tried to buy it. As you pointed out, they don't have to sell it to me at that price (although, perhaps there is a moral argument), but as soon as the manager blamed Nintendo for printing the wrong details on the box, i was like a bull to a red rag. Why they couldn't just admit they dropped the ball, i'll never know. But anyway, happy with my £20 gift card!
