Ooooooooh, it's late, I'm dumb. Thanks anyway. XD

 

[WickedAngel]

Holy shit. If the page is down now, I got in JUST before it happened.

 

[Malleymal]

Can someone quickly tell me why I spent 100 dollars more for 40 gigs..... Whats the difference between the 20 and 60 gig??

 

[Dirtbag]

:lol

 

[kiun]

There was never anything on their site about it. I found it with a search in Froogle. That's why there's a redirect link for the 20GB one.

Even if this doesn't work out, thanks OP for hooking GAF members up

 

[gamergirly]

Wow, this thread moved fast

 

[greatestjediever]

Well, if helps at all, my preorder purchase recognized my 100 dollar gift card I got a couple years ago (didn't have to punch in my amount, it knew after entering the gift card #)

 

[mrroboto]

Are they charging the credit cards right now?

 

[Mejilan]

Product and preorder page is still up for me.

 

[Community Forum]

:lol

That's awesome!!!

 

[cvxfreak]

No.

 

[Wario64]

Someone on CAG is calling their customer service right now...

 

[Malleymal]

I predict that by the 7th page there will be alot of sad people

 

[WrathOfOtaibah]

I'm sure that's what happened with the "relaunch", yes but as I stated in reference to this occurance, I really don't know... it could be we all lucked out or it could be what it seems, too good to be true. I'm hoping it's for real, but until I see that for sure, I'm setting my expectations low.

Mine are low too. I expect an e-mail from BB before the 17th about how it is canceled. At any rate, if it is not shipped by 11/24, then I will cancel it.

Its not phishing. It has all my account information on it.

 

[rikichi]

same here....

Page is up, but I tried putting the 60gb in my cart and got the following message:

PlayStation 3 60GB System has a quantity limit of 1 per order. Please enter a new quantity for this item.

Multiple orders are probably DOA.

 

[alr1ght]

Ow Ow, try to add 2 of them to your cart.
"PlayStation 3 20GB System has a quantity limit of 1 per order. Please enter a new quantity for this item."

i don't think that was there before.

I didn't realize their CS line was still open at this hour. Can you update us please?

 

[Tarazet]

What I want to know is how did Froogle get this link to begin with?

Probably keyword searches, just like the Google engine.

 

[ghostmind]

There's no way I could get this lucky, is there?

As far as the views for this thread goes... does anyone else have a sticky number of 2,642? I'm just curious how many people viewed this thread and I know that number can't be right.

 

[Goreomedy]

Oh, and you guys might want to give your credit card companies a quick ring, and add a spending notification to the account if this is at all outside of your normal pattern. A $600 online authorization attempt will trigger the risk management system of most major credit cards.

 

[Slurpy]

Im in Canada- can I still do this?

i see 2642 as well

 

[TheWolf]

Best Buy will probably cancel a bunch of these orders. they've done it before.

haha, the first time I made a crazy expensive online order, my card started being denied everywhere afterwards due to my account being locked since the purchase was "suspicious". I was in a total panic.

So yeah that's uhhh definitely a good idea!

 

[gamergirly]

Yeah. Now that at least a single representative from all of the message boards of the world has seen this thread and reported it back to the hive, the view # is not crazy.

Oh, this is definitely not outside of my normal pattern, believe me. :lol

 

[Goreomedy]

Probably not. The model numbers for both versions are "ABC", which stinks of a placeholder page that was not meant to go live yet. No one should get their hopes up.

Pffft, I spend 600 dollars all the time.

Seconded.

Good thing last month I paid off my upcoming trip to Japan on this very same card. So I have a good history of buying expensive stuff on my card.

 

[bigmakstudios]

What if I didn't register while I ordered? What if I registered after I ordered, but with the same e-mail? How could I cancel if I did that? How do I... uh... sync my order with that account?

 

[mrroboto]

Probably not. The model numbers for both versions are "ABC", which stinks of a placeholder page that was not meant to go live yet. No one should get their hopes up.

Yeah and they don't even have a proper picture of the PS3 up yet.

I wouldn't get my hopes up for this quite yet. Good find if true but almost too good to be true.

As Best Buy usually starts their sales week on Sundays, I'd say this wasn't meant to go live for another few hours yet.

 

[Petrarca]

Im in Canada- can I still do this?

nope, I tried, as usual us Canadians get ****ed in the ass

 

[Bad_Boy]

smells fishy, very fishy.

 

[sangreal]

You enter your order number and some other info

Why would you want to cancel though? If it goes through and you don't want the PS3 sell it. If you can't sell it, return it to a store (minus shipping charges)

 

[kamikaze]

Oh, this is definitely not outside of my normal pattern, believe me. :lol

ditto. bestbuy.com has taken a lot of my $$$ over the years.

 

[sangreal]

Probably not. The model numbers for both versions are "ABC", which stinks of a placeholder page that was not meant to go live yet. No one should get their hopes up.

I await the thread full of gaffers outraged that BestBuy had the nerve to cancel orders

 

[Insty]

Probably not. The model numbers for both versions are "ABC", which stinks of a placeholder page that was not meant to go live yet. No one should get their hopes up.

Actually if you look in the web browser it shows the right sku number for each unit (ie. the 8008489 number for the 60gb). Looks pretty legit to me.

 

[Beer Monkey]

When this happened with 360 last year, did it give this kind of message when you try to add more than one system to your cart? Because it is now...

PlayStation 3 60GB System has a quantity limit of 1 per order. Please enter a new quantity for this item.

 

[bigmakstudios]

Meh. I know. I want to be able to track it and everything too though. I guess I won't cancel it. That would be.... pretty stupid. >_>

What is to keep you from doing a seperate order?

 

[Community Forum]

THE "1 PER" MESSAGE IS NOT NEW!

I had this happen on accident, and I was one of the first that saw this thread.

 

[Beer Monkey]

I'm not saying that anything is doing any such thing. I'm looking for consistencies or discrepancies between this and the 360 fiasco.

THE "1 PER" MESSAGE IS NOT NEW!

Ok, ok, somebody at CAG said that it was new.

 

[mrroboto]

The same credit card? The same address? Name? :lol

Don't know about you guys but I don't have multiple cards with tons of cash available on them.

It accepted two from mine in the form of seperate orders.

About $400 on Ebay-- I mean, it's much better, yeah... that's it.

I thought the first rule of CAG was 'never ask'

 

[sangreal]

I ordered one of each in separate orders
