oooooooh yes! What a good day this has turned out to be. One question though - what happens when they realise? Do they usually honour mispriced goods after they`ve taken your details and sent an emailed confimation?

The chances of Amazon honouring it are slim... After the Jet Li boxset misprice last year they haven`t honoured any further misprices e.g. Cast Away, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Hannibal etc. The De Niro Boxset suddenly went to no1 in the chart after the exposure on all the newsgroups/forums so I doubt they will be honouring it to the 1000`s that have ordered it... That said I`ve put my order in anyway :)
An email like following will probably arrive instead of a boxset :(

I know I heard about it from a forum, but did the fact that it was spread about so much mean noone will get it at the adverstised price? if so...this should have been obvious, and there was no point in spamming the forums with the news......probably. Oh well, will just have to wait and see.

The only reason I posted it was because it was already at the #1 sales spot. No harm done here.

Alan, I don`t think there was any spamming involved by Assassin - he was merely pointing out yet another online pricing blunder that, sadly, will probably not be honoured.
You know, and I know, that you have to chance your arm with these offers as sometimes they do pay off - eg Game`s £5.99 Road Trip.
95% of the time they fail miserably, which is unfortunate.
Thanks for the heads up Assassin - this is the stuff Bargains Forums are made of (says he, with his £60 Hewlett Packard 970CXI printer, courtesey of another bargain forum elsewhere on the net....)
