Amazon And Target Sell PS3 For $40 But Will They Deliver?
If you happen to be on Amazon or the Target website last night you would have noticed both retailers listing the PS3 for a ridiculously low $39.99. Well you wouldn't have been alone as not only did many other members of the public see it but also take advantage of the offer.Amazon & Target sell PS3 for $39.99
While this was no doubt a colossal blunder as the description hinted it as an accessory but the title said otherwise, many customers reportedly placed orders and shortly called Target to confirm it (at that price, why wouldn't they). The mistake remained live on the Target website for close to 7-8 hours before being corrected. As for Amazon, the product was also list in the Amazon Marketplace, with the seller being listed as Target. So this suggested it was just a direct feed of the same price Target listed on their website.
Now the question is will Amazon and Target follow through with the price blunder or ship the accessories instead? A similar mistake happened a couple years back to online retailer Zappo, who did the right thing and shipped the orders as it was a mistake on their part. It cost the company somewhere around $1.6 million which they absorbed without any qualms. If you don't believe Target will do the same, then it's best you cancel your order before winding up with something you don't want.
