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

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!

However, the description of the product on Amazon's website is of a PS3, not a controller. There is no link on Amazon's PS3 page that takes you to Target's website and of a description of anything.

The PS3: http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-3..._9?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1295244136&sr=1-9

If they actually ship me something, and it isn't a PS3, I'll call Amazon and try to convince them to ship me what I ordered. If they won't, I'll simply return it for a full refund to Amazon.

In the end, it's all Target, and Target thinks you're ordering a controller. But maybe you'll get to keep it for free. :)

^^^^the description on Target's website is of a controller. See it yourself it the link you provided. That's what Perrumpo is referring to.

We'll see. Hopefully you're rooting for us to get the PS3, and not the controller. ;) (well, maybe not all of us)


Oh, and I also bought World of Goo for my iPad.......I can't resist a sale.

Same numbers, its NOT A CONTROLLER. I JUST BOUGHT A PS3 FROM TARGET FOR $40.

Instead of shouting, you need to read more closely. The description on Target's website is clearly that of a controller, and the title changes to reflect this at checkout.

I dont know how you even found it at Target, do I need to screenshot my order to prove to you?

Nah, just take a picture of the controller you get in the mail. Plenty of people made the order, so I believe you when you said you did too.

Maybe if you read about the "deal", you will understand that it is just another one of Target's mistakes. After all, this system hasn't even been manufactured for years.

Anyway, my last purchase was some optical audio cables.

Playstation 3 160GB Family Bundle from Amazon
No, not the glitched $40 one. I purchased a legit one. I've been wanting one for a while. I originally wanted a blu ray player and I like to game so I figured I'd get one anyways since I'm interested in some of the exclusive titles that I cannot play on my xbox 360.

Amazon/Target can feel free to ship me whatever they want IF they bill me.

I know I paid for:

Where in the description it is clearly labeled as a Console instead of a shooter:

If Amazon/Target ship/bill me for something other than what was purchased in the images above, then I should be able to get a PS3 out of the deal. I know this order can get fishy, so I made sure to take screen shots of just about everything, to make sure that I have proof of what I purchased.

I can easily photoshop all your screenshots so..

That's it, Amazon removed the entire listing.
