Sloppy administration, not honoring advertised prices...

Not saying that they should honor it, but I think this was a stunt for advertisement.
Yeah, now I definitely like to do business with them even more... NOT

Ya, if it were a stunt, they'd probably do a better job at it. Let a small amount of people get the item, then correct the error. Makes them look good and gives the competition a black mark when they don't do the same. But on the same hand, it sets a bad example if they make a real error and need to eat lots of losses.

They can always say it was a mistake, then if you really want to push it you have to sue them.
I wonder what would have happened if the item was marked wrong like this in a actualy store.. I always thought that there was the rule (legal?) that whatever the product was makes as is what you would pay (Ie getting sale prices after the sale etc.)..
This happened to me at Best Buy quite a few times. I even once found a PC game marked $0.00 USD. In California they have to honor the price as marked, but the store manager took the item from the register and had me escorted out of the store. They never honored the price as marked on any of the occasions I caught them in a price snafu.
