In order for them to legally be forced to reinstate the pre-orders you'd have to prove that you had formed a contract with them for the sale of the console. However, clicking pre-order now and going through the checkout doesn't count as a formed contract. The price they list on the website is regarded as an invitation to treat, and when you go through the checkout you are essentially making an offer to them to buy whatever it is you're ordering for that price. The contract isn't formed until they take your money and send out the goods. |
Yes, they don't have to honor a pricing mistake, but if they choose to do so (and they do), they can't be selective about it. It's discrimination, plain and simple.
Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.
