This is going to get ugly for Amazon if they don't honor the typo. I know they can wiggle out of it with ease but now it's on the news. I don't know.
I bet Amazon will take the bad PR hit. More so target will take it as well. Reason for that is most people will understand it is a Typo. They do not want to have to pay out who knows how much in losses.
Do you think they will be forced to honor them? I bought one when it said out of stock but i still bought it.
To be honest I cant believe they havent corrected this yet, but just for the heck of it i threw a order in for one... heres hoping they honor it or give out gift cards or something. Reselling this thing would pay for a couple textbooks.
Dream on folks. It's been almost a decade since major merchants honored pricing mistakes.
All of those sites have a clause that says: will not honor pricing mistakes, etc.
Not happening.

I bought three. If it pulls through, I'll use the money for the next iPAd with mindblowing display.
It's not there anymore. The link takes you to a blank page.

Why is going to get ugly.
I think every retailer has a blurb about typos and not needing to honor them.
BestBuy had something similar with their hi-def TVs and didn't "honor" the mistaken price. Dell, too had a bad price. The list goes on and on.
FWIW, the link is dead nowI have yet to get an email saying it was canceled.

Same, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
I also ordered one from Target, but did not receive an email and you cant even order anymore from that link. Im being very hopeful
