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

[scamjefe]

I still have hope.. Remember the staples attache? I ordered 500! Two days after placing the order I received a call from Staples saying that my order was cancelled. Two days passed and the UPS guy showed up with 20 boxes!!

There's always hope!

I know/think this won't come, but that "what if" makes me very excited.

this can mean only one thing... the management at sony is twisting its mustache, muttering &quot;suckers&quot;

 

[RossMAN]

Well the urge was too overwhelming I'm ordering 1 right now, website is SLOW!

 

[simbawang]

Does Sears or Staples sell Sony computers?
If they do, we can just hope sony does not change the price till tomorrow, and do a price match.

 

[RossMAN]

Can someone help me out here? My credit card's BILLING address is a PO Box but it won't let me enter a PO Box as my mailing address during check out step #3.

Has anyone else encountered this? If so what did you do?

My shipping address will be a physical house, of course.

Hey Rossman, I remember that damn bunny. Stupid c4sure charged me full price and shipped the dumb PIII 500 chip to me. I had to refuse shipment and wait 4 weeks for a refund. I never ordered from them again.

Anyway, I'm a sucker for these deals. I'm in.

If worst comes to worst, just use your shipping address as your billing address. (&amp; pray that it might work)

Heh I figure it'll at least be good for like a 10% off coupon for their site.

Tomorrow Morning at Sony Headquarters:

Executive1: And now for the next order of business. Apparently one of the web guys screwed up and posted an expensive system at $249. We got over 2000 orders for the system.
Executive2: That's outrageous, surely you don't plan to fill them?
Executive1: Of course not. Jim what is being done about this?
Jim: Well the tech who made the error is staying here until he fixes everything, I rather imagine he'll be making extensive use of the couch in the breakroom for the next few days. There is another problem though, the people who ordered it will not be happy about the order cancellation. Perhaps we should make some kind of amends to them, say a 10% off coupon for our website for them. The 10% loss should be made up for in the increased sale volume.
Executive1: That sounds good. Get on it Jim.
Jim: Will do sir.

Meanwhile downstairs in the web department.
Tech: Those damn Anandtechers. Those damn Anandtechers!!!

I think CompUSA is the only retailer who sells Sony desktops. Also they don't have the exact same model.

http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?prodzip=&amp;product_code=283701

That is the closet thing, but first of all it isn't exactly the same as there is no camorder and the hard drive is bigger but you might be able to convince a manager you are willing to take the larger HD in exchange for the camcorder (heh). Also when the manger calls up Sony he's gonna get the same responce and not gonna give it to you fore 250. I don't care to try but if anyone pulls it off good for you.

 

[jagr10]

I better get something for my order! They should at least give us gift certificates!

 

[uvamarkg]

doh.. 15 dollars tax to NJ?!?! HA! Somehow I don't think I'll be paying that, but it's worth a shot. With overnight shipping they won't have TOO long to correct themselves.

You never know with these things.. Amazon once sent me a receiver for 59.99 that was supposed to be 599.99.

 

[simbawang]

Price Match a $1400 computer for $250. That is going to be hilarious.
LOL

 

[Yoot]

Anyone interested in the next model up? It's only $1700 more!

 

[Skel]

According to the site, it's been backordered.... I'm thinking of all the build orders that might go through before the mistake is discovered... Maybe then they'll have to sell off cheap...

 

[emonkey]

Hey. Wheres the &quot;I ordered 10&quot; guys? I ordered one just for hopes on a good coupon on a clie, but whatever.

Its a great scheme for them though. A couple thousand new people registered to their site.

 

[Rebecca]

It's a typo error...:|

 

[Yoot]

Hmmm...check this out:

&quot;Sony payment terms are subject to change without notice at Sony's sole discretion.

We confirm the price of a Product as part of our order processing procedures. In the unlikely event that a price stated on our Web site is incorrect, then the following applies:

- If a Product's correct price is lower than our stated price, we charge the lower amount and ship you the Product.

- If a Product's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel
your order and notify you of such cancellation.&quot;

 

[EvilFlow]

^ nail in the coffin?

 

[discotech]

If I buy it try to at least, and they fix the price, will they charge my card 2g's? Cuz my limit is like 500.00 on this one card, so am I taking a risk? Or If they do charage, that, can I cancel the payment and say that I thought it was only 250.00?

 

[DongTran]

reminds me of the Buy.com buy one get one free SMC 16 port rackmount 10/100 switch fiasco. I ended up getting all 16 switches.

 

[discotech]

Since the servers are being hammerd, and I submit my order, and I get one of those not found pages, how will I know if I get charged for two or one? I have a limit on my card, thanks!
