...thanks to demand for Kinect.
IIRC, a similar thing happened a few years ago with Amazon or some other online retailer, and the principle was that for a sale to be agreed at a price, the goods have to be offered by the company and accepted by the consumer for a sale to be agreed. And the end result of that dispute was that the goods had not been offered to the consumer at that price, it was merely a listing of what is available and their prices - so the consumer has to offer to buy them and the retailer has to agree to sell them.Quote:
While trading standards reportedly told the website that consumers should be able to pay the price stated by the firm, which in an ideal world should absorb the loss, a Tesco press officer said the store simply can't do that.
This contrasts with this statement from Trading Standards.
You mean an 'invitation to treat'.
AFAIK a retailer is never under obligation to sell, and they don't have to provide any reason.
I guess the lines get a bit blurred with online purchasing as some automated systems will take payment immediately (I've had this issue before a couple of times when money's been taken out of my bank account and the etailer has then been unable to supply the goods).
It does seem to be interesting how both consoles will go with this.
To me move is just a wii remote for the PS3 where as Kinect is something new, personally I haven't bought either yet but I would guess many 'casual' gamers probably see it the same as me.
