Underpriced Gateway Core 2 Duo Desktop @ CompUSA $499.99AR

[mithrandir2001]

On page 9 of the CompUSA ad (November 5-11) there is a Gateway desktop that has below market pricing:

"Gaming PC with Dual-Core and NVIDIA 256MB Graphics"

Gateway Media Center PC featuring Intel Viiv technology Technology
Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 Processor
Burns & plays CDs & DVDs, supports double layer
2GB DDR2 memory
320GB hard drive
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition with TV tuner & remote
Free Vista Express Upgrade

$579.99 - $70 eRebate = $499.99 Desktop only (no monitor)

Part no is given as GT5222E #342331. On the website this shows some tired old P4 524 system.

I got excited when I saw the item in the ad (E6400 + 2GB RAM is about $400 together) but don't think this is going to pan out. Are they going to cry "not responsible for typographic errors?" This one got me going and now I'm disappointed.

way too good to be true.

Yep, no possible way the store will honor that because the product doesn't even exist.

Hrm, it appears on the web site's copy of the ad.

Very strange indeed.
