This is a copy of part of the email I got back from trading standards earlier this week, so it would appear that TS arent too enamoured with the situation
I am currently is discussion with Play in relation to their terms and conditions and hope to get back to you by the end of this week with our opinion and appropriate advice.
I think in this case the difference is that it took play so long to change their minds about this case. After all the offer was certainly up on their site on Friday 21st at 07:52.
Play took a long time to recall/cancel the orders and continued to collect and process funds. They didnt start to arrange to process refunds until the 25th - (I got mine yesterday the 27th).
If it was an error on the site, then they should have realised the same day but they didnt, and they continued to take orders and process the funds.
I think what is looking extremely likely in this case is that it was a genuine good deal, but at some point on the Sunday some idiot phoned up to query it.
It was only after that time that they started to put a halt on things.... and IMHO its now looking like they just dont want to fulfil the amount of orders they got.
But play delayed again.. and although they somehow managed to stop the printers from actually going out... they didnt attempt to start and arrange refunds until the Tuesday.... by which time......... payment had been fully processed, and according to their own rules, title passed to me the day payment in full hit my account.
