Morrisons Supermarkets Advertising..

Firtsly, mods, please move this if it is in the incorrect part of these forums. Many thanks.

Secondly, has anyone managed to see the latest Morrisons' supermarket advertising printout? Im in the Surrey area, and we had a flyer come through the local paper, and it showed "DVD's from 9.99". The picture actually on the ad was Fantastic 4: Riseof the the silver surfer but in a blu-ray box!?!

ive yet to see a BRDisc for less than a tenner - is this correct? has anyone else seen it???

bargain if ever there was one i say!!! Technically, if the offer is incorrect, youl could try and hold them to selling you a Blu-ray for 9.99 or its faulty advertising, and theyd have to remove the campaign?

thanks
ant

Re: Morrisons Supermarkets Advertising..

Yeah I saw this today as well, it's a picture of the blu-ray version but does say £9.99 DVD next to it. I've never seen any blu-ray discs in my local Morissons anyway...

Re: Morrisons Supermarkets Advertising..

They don't sell any HD formats yet. It seems to be a popular post as there are at least two other threads about it.

I saw that. It was as described, a picture of a Blu-Ray box, but with the price quoted as "£9.99 DVD" next to it. It IS a DVD they have on sale.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I meant, I've SEEN for myself that it IS a DVD.
