    ya i recall if you sell a item under the designated price you get fined by the manufacturer.

    Saw this yesterday or thereabouts.

    Don't be too concerned about missing it. It probably won't be honoured for starters. The educated guess is that the site was hacked and people were trying to get paypal info. I'll know more from people I know that got in orders later.

    Edit: Almost forgot, they had PS3s and 360s for $20 as well lol.

    Edit 2: An update from Debbie Downer. They've already refunded the money. This is the e-mail you got if you ordered.

    We made a BIG mistake with our pricing on select items. Unfortunately, due to this error, we’ve had to cancel your order of a product placed on July 13, 2011. Our pricing is good... just not that good.

    The pricing error has now been adjusted. If you have any questions, or would like to replace your order, please call us at 1-800-843-2446.

    Please accept our sincere apology for our error and any inconvenience.

    Apologetically,

    Customer Care

    They might have to honour it, a friend of mine got a Rockband drum set for something like $12 on the walmart website because of a typo. Turned around and sold it for 60 something on eBay.

    Most stores have some sort of disclaimer that states they do not have to honour advertised prices based on typographical errors.

    They don't and they are not. Check my edits.

    It's different with wal-mart, especially if something is labeled wrong in-store.

    Oh and I'm hearing now that there was a similar scam 5 years ago, the goal is credit card info/paypal log-in info.
