Well I hope they send them out because my friend and I both bought one.


I think JRPGs have melted your brain, because believing that a retailer is selling PS3 units at a loss of $200 or more seems to be pretty much the stupidest thing I'll hear all week. You are going to get a move rifle accessory for $40, if they send them out.


And if they send that there will be an incredible amount of bitching and I wll get a $50 PS3 out of it.  It's in no way my fault they fucked up, for all they know I saw what looked like an awesome sale and took advantage of it.

I guess stranger things have happened, but based on my experience on a Canadian deal forum with price errors, they will not honour an error of this magnitude. At best, you will get a gift card for the mixup. 

My money is on all the orders for the accessory being cancelled, along with an email from amazon and target explaining what happened.

Nah. I know that i'm probably not going to get it. What's the worst thing that happens? I get a refund. What's the best thing? I get a 40 dollar PS3.

...and JRPGs are awesome

What twesterm said.  If I don't get it, I lose nothing but if they ship something I'll have all 3 consoles sometime this year.

I love how you're a scathing opponent of piracy, but when it comes to getting a good deal, stooping to the sense of entitlement that pirates use to rationalize their behaviour is just fine. Seems kinda hypocritical...

There's a very large difference.

Piracy, you're essentially stealing (don't argue with me on semantics of the word), with this, I'm taking advantage of somebody's screwup.  You could say the whole recent jailbreak thing would be taking advantage of a screwup but I still think they're different.

And anyways, Sony still gets their money from Target and Target still gets some money from me.

Ah, and speak of the devil, I just got this email:

And since they never charged me, I can't even raise a stink.  Oh well, it was worth a shot.
