PC World and more sharp practice ...

Perhaps I ought to setup a different blog for these posts, illustrating how large companies are running sharp practices to get traffic and customers. I recently won a battle at a Tesco store advertising £9 wine for £3 - I blugeoned the staff into giving me another £9 wine for £3 (you didn't think they would actually have any of the £9 wine in did you? Get real).

However, today I've just heard from PC World that they are still advertising an excellent MP3 player at around half it's retail price - however, yes, you've guessed - they don't have any stock - what a surprise!? Not today, not yesterday, not the day before either - yet the listing is still on their site. I've suggested they give me any version of that player for £14.99, or even if that's not available the larger version, but I'm not holding my breath ...
