I know someone who has just bought 50
Personally I think this is a huge error and trying to remember a couple of units of business law I did 15 years ago combined with a telling clause in their reciept as follows :
Please note: This is an 'open' order and has not been processed by our dispatch department. No contract for the sale of any product will subsist between you and Play.com until Play.com dispatches the product(s) ordered. We will confirm that the product(s) have been dispatched by a confirmation email. This confirmation e-mail amounts to an acceptance by Play.com of your offer to buy goods from Play.com or a third party supplier that is engaged on your behalf by Play.com (whether or not you receive that e-mail).
I dont think they are legally bound to give us anything. However in the interests of not looking like complete asreholes, they may well honour their orders for whatever their stock levels were and take the loss on it.
