We'll see if they actually follow through with the order. I was able to back-order one as of about 2:30 am EST. We’ll see if they actually follow through with the order.

Something like this happened to me once before a long time ago with onsale.com when i bought 6 workstations for 50 bucks each when they were worth about 1000. they listed them as a "buy it now" for $50 instead of having a starting bid of $50. onsale sent me a letter indicating that the seller was recanting on the deal because it was an obvious mistake. I called onsale and they told me that they were just a conduit between sellers and buyers and that they could not do anything about it. anyways, it will be interesting to see if they process the order or not.

I was able to buy one last night at 10:00PM PST at which time the web site still indicated a price of 199. It does appear to "Game Over" now. Although interestingly enough, it does not appear to be on back order anymore. hmm Clarifying my previous post.

I called the 800 number and they said they were not going to honor the internet price. I could get a 10 percent discount in consideration of the inconvenience. I got the feeling the customer service rep I was speaking to was aware of the problem so they prolly sent out a memo. Tracking Info: Status: Deleted by Delivery Cntr.
