With Zavvi I claimed under the Consumer Rights Act 2015
That is how I was given the bonus disc content of Planet Earth
They provided me with the DVD special edition as that included the missing bonus disc content
HMV have updated the description to remove mention of the Bonus Disc this only applies to orders done after this change of description not previous orders as HMV did not contact customers about the change advertised contents
HMV was meant to contact customer about the change and provide the option of cancelling their order or accept the change of contents provided
HMV did not do this
