Sony P4 1.4Ghz and Sony Camcorder for $250, HOT DEAL or Typo?

[nikon]

watch your credit card if you are refreshing the confirmation page too many times.

 

[webhero]

You guys who are calling SONY are jerk! Why there are always so many fools here?
People should not post deals here for the fools! Let's go FW or other smaller forums!

Subject: Thank you for your order

Dear Timothy,

Thank you for choosing SonyStyle. We appreciate your business.

[telstar1]

Why do dumb people always call and ask? Let it slip through. Retards...

 

[tigerbait]

Ok, I got through and got an order confirmation. Not that it means anything, but maybe we'll get something.


I must have seen about 4 different name/address profiles.

Trung ? some guy at Harvard? and a couple others.

hahaha ive been logged into like 5 different peoples accounts

 

[kenkhanh]

umm...their site doesn't seem to be secured...i got someone's personal information. no, no one used this computer to order anything...i password-protect my workstation.

so who's Douglas Palley from Virginia? yeah, i left out other details.

dang, hellah slow. must be anandtechies

their server(s) must be going hay-wired and spewing out random accessed data.

edit1: alright...who has username longli2001?

Yo,

If any of you read the Sony Term and Conditions of Sale, you'd realize that they reserve the right to fix their prices at any time, even after you place an order. In this case, they'll probably contact you informing you of the price change, and ask if you still want to order. That's what happened when I tried to buy Dreamcasts from Amazon for 10 bucks. But you never know, your order might slip through their fingers and wind up on your doorstep. Now that would be fuggin' awesome!

He he, Here we go again.
The STEPs!
1. Know that is a typo
2. Post it on Hot Deals Forum
3. Site got slam with lots of orders
4. Nobody get anything
5. Let the moaning begin

I guess some people will never learn.

Best thing to do if you find something like this is to order it for yourself and wait and see if it ships before spilling the beans here. Idiot factor seems to be pretty strong here.

Duh, I tank I'll call and see if dis is a typo.
Hey, did you know you were selling over $2,000 worth of items for a little over $200??
Oh really? Oh.. I mean yes.. err, it's a typo. Where is it? We'll fix it right away!

I thought that this had been explained a couple of times here on this forum. If you think there is a pricing error, don't call and ask. Of course, you can do whatever you want. Just justifies what my grandfather always told me about people.

 

[scamjefe]

Am I the only who has 10 windows opened trying to get the order through?

 

[scamjefe]

they are in shopping cart.. now to register.. might take another 30 minutes.

 

[Speedy3D!]

I can't put it in my basket

 

[kenkhanh]

<< i called up, they said that the price SHOULD be 2249.98...hehe, someone forgot a 2. Anyway, I got my order in, but I had to pay tax, GRRRRR....15 bux for tax...bringing my total to 276.23. Hope I at least get SOMETHING out of this. If not, I will call up sony and have a chat with them >>


how old are you man? i just don't understand why ppl call in. it just ruins the fun, and potentially lucky deal. &amp;^@#!!@#$%

we should add a new AnandTech rule: never call in to confirm the price from the site!

Here's my logic (in case you are wondering) for posting.
I got an e-mail telling me about the 'deal', I ordered, all my buddies ordered, a bunch of people at work ordered. We notice the site starts to act slower and slower. The difference between order numbers jumps higher and higher between orders. Everyone must be ordering. I've used this forum to find many deals and never posted. In the (however slight) chance that these orders do go through, why not share the info. Didn't think people would start calling Sony and saying &quot;why so much for so cheap?&quot;. Maybe they thought Sony would give it to them for free as a thank you for helping them find the mistake.

 

[badluck]

can you post a pic of yours w/camera??

 

[prodogs]

What is the best strategy when you hit check out?

Hit refresh over and over ? or wait it out?

thanx
