Thankyou Tesco :)
Discussion
Firstly, for anyone out there with a DS, Pheonix Wright 2 is currently available at Tescos for a tenner. Blinding for a new release, the GF is playing on it now 
On getting this to the till, it turns out it rang up at £25.
With Tescos new policy of "double the difference" they promptly gave me thirty quid (for promptly read a visit to customer services, back to the electrical desk, back to customer services and finally back to the electrical desk...)
So hey, free game, £20 in my back pocket

I really can't see how that works!
Are you saying i could go down to tesco's and buy a bunch a copies (maybe with a couple of visits) and make a few hundred quid in cash and then go sell the games?
I have the day off, sounds like a plan.

No, the till came up with the wrong figure, so for the inconvenience they pay you "double the difference" in price between what the till said and what the shelf said.

And most likely charge the supplier for giving them the wrong info when it was one of there owb gimps that had inputted the date incorrectly in the first place, can you tell that I work with them......
To clarify a little, actually ended up having to pay £25 for it, then getting double the over charge back (£30 as it should have been a tenner). So I effectively got a fiver and a free game Not quite as nice as I'd initially thought but took a moment for my brain to kick in.
The staff concerned pulled the price sticker from the shelf at the point when I took it back, so didnt look repeatable. Shame really...
From talking to one of the guys at Tescos apparently they changed the policy recently, used to be if you were overcharged you got it free? Then there was a spate of large plasmas somehow priced a penny over...
Cheap at a tenner anyway for a new release, DS games seem to be hideously expensive compared to every other platform out there.
