Found this online, yes it's probably 99% a mistake, but let's see if we can get it! It's unavailable online, but tomorow I'm going to see if I can get this for the same price in-store.

EDIT: Confirmation that it is not available in-store, you can order it off here: http://www.bigwentertainment.com.au/product/back-to-the-futu… (Thanks jonishere!)

and using the code "MEDIBANKBIGW" (Thanks btaussie!) you can get it for $15.80 posted. The item is currently 'On Order' so right now we're awaiting to see if they will be shipped or not.

EDIT 2: The page above is now dead, it appears they have finally realized what's happened. The real thing now is to wait and see if they honour it.

Predators BR (2010) is $12.87 on the Big W website: http://www.bigw.com.au/entertainment/DVDsBluray/DVDsBluray/b…

Let's price-match this one!

      Good point - there are two different versions, but as far as I can tell its just the packaging that is different … one is a fold-out digipack (original version 8279998), and the newer is a normal plastic case (8281088).

      The version they've been doing for $12 is the old digipack version, so theoretically this was a clearance deal. If the website says 'To Order' chances are they might not be able to source the stock, as I'm sure the older version would now be deleted.

  • bigsarg7 on 27/12/2010 - 12:22

    I paid via paypal. You could click checkout or below it was checkout with paypal.

    Just confirming that I just got it for $15.80 via the link above and also have the email confirmation.
    Actually scanned at $44.00 when I was in store yesterday arvo.

  • jmeister on 27/12/2010 - 13:00

    Ordered 2 copies, 1 through CC directly from the website and 1 via Paypal. Both are showing as pending payments on my credit card which means it should both go through. I remember sometimes they can reverse a Paypal payment which is why I did the CC one as well. :)

    Went to my local store earlier and they refused to price match even with the copy of the receipt posted earlier.

    • swimmingtoad on 27/12/2010 - 13:56

      They can just as easily easily refund your cc

  • ausbob71 on 27/12/2010 - 13:09

    think I worked out why I didn't get the option of paypal at checkout I used the bigwentertainment site not the bigw site and it doesn't have that option.

    • bob19 on 27/12/2010 - 15:17

      bigwentertainment site has a Paypal option. I used it.

      You buy it because this will be in 1080p resolution with a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack. Don't think you get that with free to air TV.

    No, we buy it because instead of watching a SD ad-filled TV edit of the fim, we can watch the films one after the other uninterrupted in HD, with the added bonus of retrospective special features and not paying $50.

    ordered a textbook for uni with the same 5-10 days dispatch message, ordered in week 1 of the semester, it arrived in the last week of the semester (week 13) but hey at least i got it before the exams hah (happened with a few of us who bought it too, but we saved like $95 instead of buying from the uni shop)

  • Xperia on 27/12/2010 - 17:25

    @ atlas: JB Hi-Fi has standard pack of Bourne Trilogy for $24.98 plus 20% off current promotion. I bought mine yesterday. It's cheaper than Big W or Kmart.

      Really? I was actually there yesterday and my recollection is hazy but I thought I saw it stickered at either $30 or $40. Strange because the 3 individual movies I thought were selling for at least $15 each!

      I did this just then and got it for $9.60 (down from $45) as my local JB are doing an extra 20% off bluray and dvd! Thanks for the idea, you are a champ. They said they wouldn't normally match big w as theres not a big w in the same complex and I could drive down to another shopping centre with both jb and big w, but they matched it anyway, probably because I'm so handsome.

      Big W wouldn't match it at all.

      • swimmingtoad on 27/12/2010 - 20:44

          I just got back home. My last message was mobile, so excited.

          If you're in Perth, they recommend going to Cockburn Central shopping centre as they have both JB and Big W.

          Here's my receipt:

          Heeey…. Does your's not have the holographic cover???

          The one I got from BigW has a special cover and apparently a "disappearing photo" inside.

          Nope, mine's not the holographic one, just the regular cover one with no photo inside. I didn't look for the holographic one at JBs, I just picked up the first box I saw. No biggie, for $9.60 I am not complaining.

      • mrdevil on 27/12/2010 - 22:47

        Good old JB and their stupid christmas staff … they are seriously losing money on price matching this, even when they dont have too! :) Well done!!

      • g12345567 on 28/12/2010 - 08:23

        Last time I tried a JB pricematch, they actually rang the other store to check if they had stock. Because they other store was so disorganised with stock, couldn't be stuffed checking so they just said no. So I never got the price match.

    They won't ship, clearly a pricing error. You will get a polite sorry message, everyone will neg the hell out of it and winge blah blah same thing that happens every time a pricing error happens here.

    • sparkles on 29/12/2010 - 09:49

      I'm starting to think the best way to take advantage of pricing errors is getting a price match instore quickly. Some people will have actually managed to get this set at this price. Everyone who ordered online will probably be disappointed when they cancel. Based on the amount of clicks and purchases this has had, I'm also of the opinion that this will be a price error cancellation. I hope not though, we should know today.

      • ryang on 29/12/2010 - 14:34

        Well I got one in store. It was certainly the only way this was going to work out, considering they aren't obligated to honour invalid/incorrect pricing.

        So next time, everyone go price match in stores ASAP! =]

      Not quite a lie … they're getting out on a technicality - the link version is the newer 'standard case' version, normally priced around that. The cheap version is / was a fold-out digipack version, now discontinued.

      • ryang on 29/12/2010 - 14:47

        Are you sure about the 'cheap version'?

  • drspy00 on 29/12/2010 - 14:42

    Order was cancelled, but no refund. I will be going into big w if its not received today. I thought a big retailer like this would have better service. Apparently it is illegal for a retailer to not honour prices on a site like this even in error so I dont know if its worth taking it further or not, Id like to atleast get my refund.

    Got the cancel email too. That's the second purchase that Big W has cancelled on me because they didn't want to sell at the lower price (first was a copy of Kinect Sports, which I purchased from them when it was on sale for under $50 - it was listed as in stock when I ordered and several hours after, but they cancelled the order due to an "IT error" or some other BS excuse).

    They have the trilogy on DVD listed at $12.87…maybe that was what it was meant to be all along?

  • drspy00 on 29/12/2010 - 15:19

    I have contacted them to see how it will go. I understand it was a mistake but they should have given everyone a $5 or $10 voucher or something like that off the next purchase out of good faith. As a seller myself I do things like that if i make an error and expect more from a larger retailer. Im only annoyed because other stores matched prices with this instore so were out of pocket for big ws incompetence. I will definately think twice about buying anything on big w online again, I don't trust the integrity.

    I still haven't received a refund although the email says they have refunded so I might launch a dispute with paypal to be on the safe side.

    I got the cancellation email which stated "We do not currently have this item available to order and we have removed it from our site." It is currently on thier site and available to order at a higher price.
    I sent an email to fair trading to see what could be done since my card was already debited and sat there for 2 days, maybe nothing but it is worth a try. If Fair Trading get 100 emails they might do something about it.

    • drspy00 on 29/12/2010 - 15:44

      I would say the best thing to do is to go into the store. I am sure they wont like a scene. I still havent got a refund so will go into the store tomorrow if they dont refund it by the end of the day. It should be instant as I paid with paypal. I think they have to price match if you can show them the receipts that other people have posted, and screenshots.

      • tiz_man on 29/12/2010 - 16:01
        +1

        My nearest store is an hour away, and as DVDGuy mentioned they have done it before. I would have less of a problem if they said "we stuffed up the price is wrong" and I hadn't been charged. I have been charged and no refund yet. It is almost as if I walked into the store, paid the price and as I'm about to walk out the store they say, Oh no we changed our mind.
        I have worked in Target and I know that if the marked price on the shelf is wrong, legally the customer has to be given it for that price. It is bad luck for the store for marking it wrong.

        As I said, if Fair Trading get and email from each of us who ordered it, they may do something about it.

        • drspy00 on 29/12/2010 - 16:12

          My store isnt that close either, but with things like this I kindof want to do something out of principle. Ive reported them to paypal, I would have had less of a problem with this if the refund was sent right away, but the fact they have kept the money, and not replying to any emails after cancelling the order is very annoying. I will post here how I go at getting anywhere with this and hopefully others can too because out of principle they shouldn't be allowed to do this. Even if they offered a discount it would be a nice gesture, even if it ended up never being used.

  • wem77 on 29/12/2010 - 15:40

    It all seems a little dishonest to me. Seeing as the email says ' We do not currently have this item available to order and we have removed it from our site' Yet clearly it is back on the site for a higher price.
    I'll probably shoot them an email, not that I expect to get anywhere.

    This is an email I received this afternoon from them:

    "Thank you for your recent purchases with BIGW Entertainment.

    Due to a system glitch, we have incorrectly quoted the price of $10.80 for both Back To The Future / Back To The Future 2 / Back To The Future 3 (Blu-ray) & Grown Ups (2010) (Blu-ray) and as a result your order has been cancelled and a refund will be issued."

    I thought store policy was that if an item is advertised at a particular price then they were obligated to sell at that price (fair enough that they fix it up once the error is discovered). Oh well, I sent a reply back to them, see how it goes.

    Haven't recieved a cancellation for Back To The Future yet, but they cancelled my separate order for the Shrek Quadrilogy which at the time of order was listed as both "In Stock" and "Ships in 24 hours". Although it's crap about the Back To The Future set and it was kind of expected, they are also pulling the same stunt on other items as well. This website is clearly very poorly managed. I'll never shop there again. THIS is why Australian retail is heading down the toilet.
