Dear Chapters.ca Customer:

Due to an inadvertent error, the Sony Playstation 2 console was inaccurately shown on Chapters.ca at a price of $79.99 when in fact the price should have been $449.99, the normal retail price. This error was corrected as soon as it became apparent and it was necessary to cancel your recent order as well as all others placed at the inaccurate price.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

If you would like to reorder this product at the correct price of $449.99 please click here http://www.chapters.ca/GAMESCENTRE/d...C=711719700005

To apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced we are providing you with a $10.00 coupon in the next few days for use against your next purchase at Chapters.ca.


Sincerely,


The Customer Service Team
We are Open if you are

Got the same message. Oh well, not like I really expected them to honour it. $10 coupon is a nice tough at least!

Any suggestions for buying something with a $10 coupon?

The $10 coupon I suppose is in Canadian dollars, so it's like a $7 coupon, right?

Can't think of any decent DVD that I can buy with $7, so chapters.ca will be making some revenue with this deal. I never expected to get the PS2 at that price, but I was really hoping they would give the PS2 at like 10-20% off, rather than a $10-$20 GC. (If you think about it, they were in a position to lose *a lot* of money, now they are in a potential position to earn a lot of revenue, even though it looks like they are giving away $10...)

Oh well, maybe I don't know what I'm saying, and they would still lose say $5 per order of a DVD.

Anyways, hate to waste this GC when it gets here, so any suggestions?

they're prices are decent and just for the fact they acknowledge their mistake instead of playing it off and beating around the bush, i'm going to order at least something.

even with shipping the pricing average about 12-13 dollars

edit: you know something's wrong when canadian customer service can appease more customers than american customer service... or has it always been that way? http://talk.dvdtalk.com/ubb/wink.gif

I suggest that everyone who gets a GC should email it to me and then when I get enough - I'll stack them and buy a Playstation 2 for free... then you all can come over and play it with me. See, I'm all about sharing.
