$39.99 + $15.69 shipping
Not in stock; order now and we'll deliver when available. Sold by Target.com/ITC

That kinda blows

Don't know if I should really place my order now lol

Ron Bennett · 01-16-2011, 08:07 PM

Amazon is under no obligation to honor that price.

If only a few people kept it hush, hush and took advantage, Amazon might not even notice and/or ship them anyways...

But when there are zillions of orders for them at that, presumably, erroneous price, Amazon is near certainly going to cancel out all the orders and refund.

irwin99 · 01-16-2011, 08:09 PM

Target will just go into the seller central backend and refund and cancel the orders, you can bet on it. Don't waste your time.

FlexxAeon · 01-16-2011, 08:09 PM

whats the catch?

NaughtyVisions · 01-16-2011, 08:10 PM

Haha.. you can buy it new for $39.99...

then look down...

Trade In This Video Game Item for $111.50
Trade in PlayStation 3 for a $111.50 Amazon.com Gift Card that can be redeemed for millions of items store wide.

Nice return on investment.

KRosh · 01-16-2011, 08:35 PM

well i wonder how they will fulfill this order.

I put an order in regardless.

here is the link direct from amazon search

that's target.com shopping policy. Amazon does not have a stated policy like that although they did inform some customers back in 2000 over a toy price glitch, they can pay the higher price or they can cancel the order.

Who knows, maybe this is for real. Maybe Target is getting rid of overstock - these are the original 60GB PS3's that are outdated.

if you read the discussion on amazon, the product code is for a controller, so it is a mistake

d-null · 01-16-2011, 08:50 PM

here is a direct link to the product at target.com

http://www.target.com/PlayStation-Co...i_detailbutton

again, it is a mistake, as those that tried to go through the order process are apparently informed that it is for the controller only

This item will not become "In Stock" and therefore your order will not be completed. It's that simple.

Also, when you order through Target's website, on the very last screen, the item says it's that stupid Move gun or whatever. Again, nothing you can really complain about there, since clicking "Place Order" is confirmation that you've read what's ON THE SCREEN where you are placing the order.

All I'm saying is don't get all butthurt when you don't receive your $40 PS3"

Dell had something similar with a $1000 pc prices for $100

They had thousands of orders, and cancelling all but a hundred or so. They also terminated more than a few employees that tried to order the deal

V_RocKs · 01-17-2011, 09:55 AM

Shit like this rarely works...

That being said... I did find a TV on Amazon being sold for 10% of the normal price (somebody fucked up on the decimal placement?) and I didn't tell anyone about it. I ended up receiving the TV. After my order shipped I told my bro about it and he tried. The price was already updated.
