BOGOF @ Tesco Entertainment

Not the best selection available but there are a few decent ones there for under £12. Don't forget you can get 8% quidco as well.

Re: BOGOF @ Tesco Entertainment

Due to the way that the checkout calculates the BOGOF it's best to purchase items in groups of the same value if buying more than 2.
E.G:
2 @ 17.99 + 2 @ 11.97 = £35.98 if bought together.
Buy in pairs of same value:
2 @ 17.99 = £17.99
2 @ 11.97 = £11.97
= £29.96 if bought seperately.
(The basket will always take off the cheapest items as free)

Re: BOGOF @ Tesco Entertainment

I bought 4 at a total of £23.44 or something and have got an email from quidco to say it has tracked with an expected payout of 47p?????? That is 2% not 8%.

Anyone else get the same??

Yeah for my £11.97 (Italian Job and The Thing) it tracked 23p - similarly for Inglourious Bastereds £9.98 only tracked 19p

Re: BOGOF @ Tesco Entertainment

Glad I picked up Downfall and Incredible Hulk before the price change - Just few pennies less than £6 - great price...

Thanks OP for the post.

Re: BOGOF @ Tesco Entertainment

Ordered 8 titles yesterday. All of them worked out at around £6 apiece. Looks like I ordered them just in time, as they have all increased in price by 50%.

Re: BOGOF @ Tesco Entertainment

Just got emails to say that The Incredible Hulk & The Italian Job have shipped - priced at £11.97 + £0 each so at least they are honouring the initial prices.

The Thing + Revolutionary Road were the other 2 I went for.

Your card won't be charged until they are ready to dispatch them.

Tesco's website is controlled by the hut group (the hut, zavvi, tesco, etc) & they are terrible for dispatch estimates. I ordered gears of war from them & it took 3 weeks to be dispatched even though it was listed as 'usually dispatched in 24 hours'.
I've found them very good for pre orders though as i have always received my items 2-3 days before there release.

Not anymore they are not.

Tesco have gone it alone, if you visit the site there's a new look and eveything.

can only be a good thing in my opinion. Hope they do well.

I really think it's just a case of having a little patience. Of the eight titles I ordered only Downfall, Twilight and Hellboy have been despatched. The others have jumped from "delivery within 24 hours" to a 1-2 week wait.

I'm not really surprised that they ran out of stock. The prices in the initial offer were the lowest I have EVER seen for the titles that were included. I ordered mine just in time. An hour or so later they all increased in price.

Have they really, I noticed the new look but didn't realise they had dumped the hut (although it doesn't seemed to have made a difference with their dispatch times)

Well they had some relaunch deals and a new look different from all the Hut clones so putting two and two together?

I think we need to give them some time to sort there systems out before we all proclaim them useless.

Personally, I find the Hut excellent, although I don't bust a vessel because I have to wait a week or two for film. They always get the item to me and are generally excellent on preorders and also are generally the cheapest on most items I want.

It was showing that when I ordered it; it still is as it remains unshipped in my order history, but elsewhere on the site it's showing 1-2 weeks (which probably explains the holdup).
