I've seen big typos like these on Amazon in the past and customers actually received their purchases so good luck everyone!

Legally it is not a binding contract until they actually ship the item. Your order form is just an offer that you will buy at that price. It happened 6 months ago with Mac Minis on Canada's Amazon site and most if not all only got their money back.

Haha I did too. If anything I'll receive lulz for it.

Hell, I got in on the PS3 deal just to get the Amazon gift certificate for when they inevitably cancel the orders. Hopefully some of y'all got in on the action.

They don't charge you until they actually ship your stuff though.

I read somewhere that the orders probably won't go through. If they do, then I'll be sorry I missed the deal!!! For your sake, I'll hope they honor it ;)

You have nothing to lose because they do not charge you unless they ship you your hugely discounted PS3 :)

Yeah, I bought one of them PS3 thingies as well. What the hell, it's only $40 plus tax and shipping.

Knowing absolutely nothing about the console gaming world, what do people think of this particular model? Besides the fact that it (only?) has a 60GB HD, is there anything else different from this one and newer models?

I hope that everyone is saving the order confirmation as a PDF....:p

They sell for like $800 on ebay because they are backwards compatible.

I as well just submitted to receive a $40 PS3, though I have a fat model. Would be selling it anyway though, easy $200 mebbe?

My last purchase has been for the purchase before last. More gas for my new toy, but I want to find 93+ octane for the engine on this.... I found 108 octane, but that's a touch pricey;)

Amazon is being pounded lol.

Don't really need another PS3 as I have a slim and a backwards compatible one with a 160gb hdd. Just put in an order. Good thing they don't charge till they ship.

Not really my purchase, but my girlfriend just got back from New York, and while there she stopped at the Nintendo World Store and got me an awesome hoodie! :D

If you were charged shipping, then it was from target, in which case it's a controller thingy, not a PS3.

I'm pretty sure we were all charged shipping though.

Yeah, because they're all from Target and not Amazon. So Amazon isn't going to give hoot about fulfilling it. The Target website clearly describes it as a controller. Just a mix up. They don't even make that model PS3 any more. Would've been cool though!
