That is very slimy of them to do that. Make your receipt change to the PSP version. No honor anymore in the world is there.

They had the PS3 version up there as well for that price. They pulled it and are hyper-linking to the PSP now.

I preordered it earlier and it still shows up as the PS3 in my orders page on Amazon. Hopefully it stays that way.

Personally, they should have to honor that **** as they screwed up and not the consumer. It may suck but maybe next time they will make sure things are correct before posting them. I wonder if you raise enough hell that they would honor it? I doubt it as companies dont give a **** about the average consumer anymore but I guess it would be worth a shot.

Damn I just got the email. I guess Amazon won't be getting my money at all for this game now since they can't honor the price. Boooooo.

# 46 myghty @ 12/18/09 02:06 AM

Same, just received the same Email... Meh

# 47 Blzer @ 12/18/09 02:32 AM

Well damn. Maybe SCEA will still do it...

# 48 EnigmaNemesis @ 12/18/09 02:35 AM

There is no honor anymore in the consumerist society.

At one time, it was illegal to not honor price mess ups.

Ah well, cant blame us for trying. This game is worth double the price IMO, compared to most games out there. And the play time most of us put into it, it is probably worth 4 times as much.

I have no problem paying full price for this series. And hope there is a collector's not announced yet.

# 49 marbury @ 12/18/09 06:48 AM

bad luck for you guys

i was checking out amazon some minutes ago and there was no price for this game and currently shipping to US only

i think i have to buy it on ebay again

# 50 bowlerguy92 @ 12/18/09 07:00 AM

Sigh, ridiculous amazon.

# 51 ps2king @ 12/18/09 07:42 AM

Got the same email. Had a feeling this was too good to be true.

# 52 cardsfan2222 @ 12/18/09 09:20 AM

Well Amazon has lost my business. I absolutely hate companies who pull stuff like this. At the very least, they should give 10% off or a free upgrade to overnight shipping for people who ordered at this price. It's ridiculous that they have no accountability for things like this. Now I'm back on the fence as to whether or not I'll actually buy this.

# 53 theotherguy619 @ 12/18/09 09:42 AM

If this happened with face-to-face business and not over the internet business, I guarantee they'd honor it. They cancelled the orders because they know nobody can get literally in thier face about it.

Bunch of BS, and I didn't even pre-order.

Exactly. I've been to stores where an item is priced wrong, they almost always honor the price that it is marked, then fix it. I think they should honor the price for people who ordered it. It's wrong to screw over customers like this.

Wanting a company to stand by their advertised price is trying to screw them over now? It would be screwing them over if I hacked into their site and changed the price, then tried to get it at that price. Thinking a company should be accountable for what they put on their site isn't trying to screw them over.

I agree. I will wait to see if their is a Collector's Edition available.

# 57 Jgainsey @ 12/18/09 10:43 AM

I can never understand why people feel obligated to receive a discounted price when the retailer makes an honest mistake like this. I know plenty of stores will honor whatever price they have an item listed for on the shelf, but that's only done as a courtesy to the customer. In no way do they owe you anything whatsoever.

If you guys had been able to get over on them that would've been great. But I don't understand the ill will towards amazon now that they've caught their mistake. I would've done the same thing if I was them. There's no way I'd sell a product I only make 10% profit on in the first place for a 30% loss.

# 58 mnsportsguy40 @ 12/18/09 11:04 AM

Geez, just went to Amazon and the price offer is gone....

# 59 rspencer86 @ 12/18/09 11:27 AM

LOL at the guys pissed at Amazon. It was an honest mistake and the corrected it quickly. Why should they honor that price? It's not like you had to drive 15 miles in to town and waste time/gas only to be turned away, or they changed it two months later possibly costing you the opportunity at other deals.

I'm all for the rights of the consumer, but come on.

# 60 econoodle @ 12/18/09 11:36 AM

i agree with the posters defending amazon.
I knew something was wrong when they posted it.
I ordered it, then they cancelled it and no biggie.

i love amazon. all they do is save me money.

they r fine in my book.
