mhansel411 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Now my question is this... If this has been going on for 9+ hours wit comments on the page about how it is not the correct description and everyone dicked over sony and target, why has amazon yet to take it down? Is it still up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Agreed. The fact it's been going on all afternoon seems pretty sketchy... but it is what it is. I've heard plenty of stories about Amazon honoring incorrect prices, but they were generally (very) brief glitches in the system. As far as having an order # in the thousands? - I doubt it'll matter too much. A first-come, first-serve system would be hilarious, though. "We can only afford to honor the first 50 orders. Sorry." Awesome. If it flops, it's whatever. I don't even really need one, you know? If it goes through, though, I think it could be the biggest Amazon botch of 2011.

circlingvultures Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Video gaming sites have had all their employees order. If you ordered through Target you def aren't getting one. Amazon is selling this for Target, and apparently they have been working on this for a long time to get it fixed. Someone on there pointed out that it says that Amazon is not responsible for pricing errors and then lists numerous companies, one of which is Target.

circlingvultures Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Just reporting what I am reading, I'd love to get myself one of these. It's making news sites, people are posting youtube videos. I'm sure if it continues all night you will be seeing it on the news tomorrow.

mhansel411 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Saw some guy from some tech site said he contacted amazon rep and said they wouldn't honor them, but then ended the article with... Pssst... If you are adamant with amazon they will ship...I'm gonna bitch to no end haha. I have my email confirmation saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I'm gonna bitch to no end haha. Working retail for a few years, I'm always baffled at how adamant customers can be over saving a bit of cash. I've had gentlemen become irate over a 40¢ difference on a single screw, at Home Depot, and I've had women throw fits over the additional 50¢ for a waffle-cone at Baskin Robbins. I get that times are tough, but I've never been one to roll up my sleeves and make a scene over saving a buck or two. But this. This is a whole different story. At a $200+ price difference, I'll also be fighting this thing to the death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaggle Von Swift Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 i've grabbed something similar to like this that Amazon had messed up on in the past, they canceled all ordered and used the reasoning that they had insufficient quantities. you should be able to get a promotional credit out of them though, so in the end, it's still worth it.

matphilly Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 If any of you guys ended up getting one shipped to your house and it was only 40 bucks, I would seriously applaud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booyahachieved Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I ordered two last night (probably should have tried for 3). It's worth a shot. My confirmation email says "Playstation 3 CONSOLE". Still... not getting my hopes up. Amazon won't charge your card until they ship anyway so either way you can't lose.

troymess Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Missed out on this, but someone who snagged one, please let us know how this turns out. Incredible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecream Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 like most of you I think we're just gonna end up getting a refund, but I mean theoretically speaking we will see something out of this. For that big of a fuck up I can't see them refunding money without some kind of gift cert/discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest markovianprocess Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I'm always curious as to why people post on forums about this. Surely if you kept quiet they are much more likely to just honour your order if there are only 5 of them compared to 5,000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggle Von Swift Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 if it's sold from Target through Amazon, Target won't give you shit. They never do. Just up to Amazon if they want to, but I don't think they're liable to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circlingvultures Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 By the time it was posted here it was up for like six hours and all over websites. Though I agree, the original few people could have made a lot of cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
