    A "Today only" problem

    In the today only section (07/11/06) scan are advertising Altec Lansing speakers and the like. Scan are leading the advert with a picture and description of the Altec Lansing Black MX5021 Hi End 2.1Ch THX Speaker System. Problem is this is not mentioned again in the list of links and therfore has no price with it. Also these speakers still appear to be out of stock?
    This is very annoying as this is the speaker system I am after, and have been holding of buying from other retailers due to scans usuall high standards (free shipping helps to).
    This is a form of false advertising, and the advert is misleading. It doesn't help to keep confidence in scan.

    Edit:
    These speakers are available from amazon, now for £92.00 with free delivery. I hope scan can beat this price hansomly, if they get any stock in the near future!

    These speakers are not advertised as saleable on the TO page.

    Unfortunately they are out of stock at the moment so can't be added to the TO page

    Sorry

    Thank you and apology accepted.

    But why would they be used to lead an advert if not even available? Its very misleading

    Ok, my rant over. Scan are still the good guys I know.

    I also saw the same error, but guessed it had been a mistake. I ended up ordering the Altec Lansing VS4121 2.1 Speakers, I hope they are a good set.
