Based on the fact that Overstock has refreshed to remove all the low-priced systems, I would tentatively say that they're gonna allow the sales to go through. Good luck to those of you who got an order in, hopefully they didn't get more orders than they have inventory.
I've been an internet deal hunter long enough to know that this stuff doesn't go through anymore, so I never even bother.
Back in the early days, like in 2000, etailers thought that they had some obligation to honor orders when a price glitch happened. That does NOT happen anymore.
Change of topic - I need a memory card for my PSP. I got a used 2gb card when I bought it but just buying Theme Hospital and Patapon 2 (.97 at Sears, woo) along with some homebrew stuff and it's already full.
Any suggestions on cheap Pro Duo cards - there were some on clearance at Sears but I missed out.

It depends on how big the error is and the retailer. Amazon made a mistake where $30-60 omnibuses and artbooks were sold for $10. They allowed people to keep 1 of each. I got an Okami artbook out of it. $9 for a $250 system? No chance in hell.

Muh forumz... they live, super ugly but alive! Man, I got ALOT of stuff done at work yesterday.
Yeah, every hour that passed without a cancellation e-mail increased my hope by one point, then... just before I went to bed I got the "OOPS" e-mail from Overstock
Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

I did the B2G1 deal at Best Buy yesterday. They don't carry Sonic Colors any longer, I was sad.
But I ended up getting WiiParty, Flingsmash, and WiiPlay Motion. I got my first two WiiRemote + controllers. Which are super sexy to look at.
Talking about greenman gaming, it seems like that code is working for deus ex again, bringing it's already $10 lower than every where else price down to $29
Yakuza 4 was on sale for $24.99 for a while. But you need at least $25 for free Amazon shipping. It was part of the B2G1 sale, but I couldn't find two other games I wanted...and after looking through the list over and over, it was out of stock. Sad.
I find that Hannah Montana being on that list hilarious.
Yeah, that was Sony's knee-jerk attempt to attract the casuals who had flocked to the DS back to the PSP. Hell, they even moneyhatted the company that made the Hannah Montana game.
I've been planning to buy a PSP for a month or so now. This is great timing...if there were any K-Marts in my state at all.
Anyone able to find one that would middleman it for me? As long as it's a 3000, I don't really care which bundle it is. I'd cover the shipping and all that...
Or I guess I could wait and see if the price drops on Amazon, or look for PSPs on eBay with K-Mart stickers.
Oh ho ho... I super hyped Brink before it came out. Only to find out that Splash Damage are a bunch of filthy liars, who made an astonishingly horrid game.
Like, it goes:
E.T. -> Superman 64 -> Brink
Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.
I was going to give Brink a second chance because they were going to have some free DLC out in June. Which became early July. Which is now who knows when. So I'm done waiting.
Local Gamestop is still charging $60 for a new copy so I'm going to mosey down there and trade my copy in for a whole bunch of credit towards the new Assassin's Creed.

Yeah. So far no cancellation e-mails.
I imagine there's quite a few to send out though :P
Man, I'd love to buy a Wii for up to $30 and watch the wife freak out until I show her the price.
Oh well.
Mang, if you lived in Central Florida I'd give, or possibly trade you for my stupid Red Wii
waste of money...

I've been checking my e-mail all day with fingers crossed. Nothing so far.
It looks like they have cancelled all of them.
Sorry fellas.

Now if you'll excuse me... I need to get to Kmart post haste.

Yes please.

Brink is $20 all day as well. Not sure if it has dropped that far yet.
Like, it goes:
E.T. -> Superman 64 -> Brink
It was my birthday present this year (after waiting 2 years for it).
I so sad...
