Page 1 of Remember the Crystal XBOX Deal that Toys R Us pulled as it was so good? ITS BACK!

Okay posted about this on MSE and decided to let you guys know as I had some nice bargains from this lovely site and especially from Reestit Mutton who is the dogs b****ks! :

heres a good deal borrowed from another forums!

xbox crystal console with sharks tale, sonic heroes and munchs odyssey (games can be sold for about £50-60 on ebay) for £89.99. this offer was so poular the store withdrew it - think it was a mistake to offer such a good deal!

anyway found out that if you ring up toys r us and ask for this bundle they will let you have it for the price as long as you complain first to the advertising standards authority.

just worked for me and i have the deal now collected from my local store in manchester -also the store let me choose halo2 instead of munchs odyssee which is out of stock so i am buzzing!

what a bargain!!!

Good luck to you all

PS IF YOU WANNA DO IT THEN COMPLAIN ASA FIRST USING THIS LINK http://www.asab.org.uk/asa/how_to_complain/complaints_form/

contact Julie Cripps at Toys R Us on 01628 414141 or jsppirc[at]moc.sursyot who will arrange this for you.

Complained to ASA then emailed the address given above and it bounced back from toysrus saying that there is no such email address, so I am not sure if this isnt a con to get people to complain.

Also done some goggle searching and cant find any mention of this offer anywhere, can any confirm this is real?

Yes it`s real, it was in the second week of Nov 04 was £99.99 but £10 off voucher in a leaflet that came free with most local newspapers.

I`m going to call tomorrow morning and *hopefully* pick it up at Brent Cross in the evening. I did actually want this, I remember the person who posted it said that the offer was over and I was gutted. I hate Toys R Us, bunch of incompetent fools who have never heard of the word `customer service`. >:(
Serves them right that they have to honour this and I`m glad ASA have made them face up to it.

easy there cyberactive why would i want to con you into complaining to the ASA? so the email given by asa in their letter was wrong so what juss call her instead

yes it works if you dont believe me tough, go read the next thread instead!

bye

Hi nina - prob best to wait a couple of days for the letter from asa but if youre not patient enough then go for it early and if it dont work then you will get ur letter from asa. i mean i cant see the asa sending out a different letter to new peoples that complain after all we are all consumers who got disappointed by toys r us so we shd all get the same result from the asa investigation so get stuck in everyone for a nice xmas pressie :)
