NEW PC

Well my old PC stopped working, so I went out and bought a new one, only after 4 days the new one stopped working so it went back. They returned it to me on the 20/10/14 and they reminded me of some free software/app I could download in an email. I decided to look at them and a movie making program took my fancy. I put in the details and downloaded the app. I thought it had fucked up the PC as it said 100% done and kept spinning, eventually rebooting and letting me log in, on checking out the app it transpires it is only a maximum 30 day trial and they expect £60 to get a code to use it after 30 days, basically it's a con to entice you into buying that PC. That wasn't the only brand offering a free app some other brands did as well. £600 for a PC and they expect you to download an app then fork out £60 to use it after 30 days.

Currys/PCWorld are using underhand tactics to entice people to buy certain products by saying they will get something FREE, not a fucking free trial, that is just deceitful. If they had said receive a FREE TRIAL of selected software that would have been different.

I feel like putting the software onto a blank disc and stuffing it down the throat of the UK CEO of Currys/PCWorld, if you are ever enticed by a freebie like this I would always email and ask in future is it a FREE TRIAL of the software or the full working version, recording the conversation then if it shows up as a free trial you can then put in a claim against the store, if they say it is the full working version without any limitations, but turns out to be a FREE TRIAL of the full version.
