I've had my hopes set on a Surround Sound DVD System for a while now and I've been searching the web for a good deal. Then a few weeks back, I found one. Not on the web but in a comet magazine thing that came in the local paper. 200 quid for a Goodmans 300 Watt output Home Cinema System.

Great I thought so I went down to Comet and they said you'd have to order it. There's no chance they'd get it in store they said. So I phoned the major Comet place number thingy and they said they weren't available to order yet. Call back in a week or so.

A few days later, I told my mum to pick me up some minidiscs from Comet (same store as before) and what does she see? Yup, the DVD system I want. They suddenly got some in stock. Anyway, she bought it (last one)and took it home. Unfortuantely, when I got home I noticed on the box it said "5x30 watts and 1x50 watt sub-woofer". Now unless my maths is terrible that only adds up to 200, not 300.

So I called up the major comety hotline thing again and asked whether I had the wrong one or whether both their PC in the store and the paper were wrong. Their answer? "Nah, sorry mate. Typo."

!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well cheers "mate" and thanks for the "help"! Comet and Currys are the same! Everyone is so goddamm incompetant!! It took the guy long enough to understand what I meant by 'watts'!

But I'm keeping it all the same. Still the best deal I've found, even if they are a bunch of retards.
