Gigantic Pricing Error!
" @regularassmilk: It's the older model. Making way for the slim. "Do you honestly think they would drop it that much though? Thats ridiculous.
" @regularassmilk: It's the older model. Making way for the slim. "its like the super old launch models. im not even sure target can sell them anymore, so im praying theyre just liquidating stock.
" @Lukeweizer said:AKA the best models." @regularassmilk: It's the older model. Making way for the slim. "its like the super old launch models. im not even sure target can sell them anymore, so im praying theyre just liquidating stock. "
It's from Target, and they have the same price on THEIR site. Hmmm.

" The description is for a gun thing for the PS3 Move. "This. It's sold by Target, not Amazon, and the description and everything associated with it says it's the gun accessory for the Move. Target will just chalk it up to an error and not honor the sale. I don't know why people keep perpetuating the idea that this will even work.
I wouldn't buy it. It's marked incorrectly as a PS3, the description says.
"The official PlayStation®Move sharp shooter provides the most intuitive and immersive control experience for shooter games. Its authentic design and precision ensure the most engaging gameplay experience. Easily accessible buttons and adjustable shoulder stock allow for hours of comfortable gameplay. Take aim and Move into the firefight. "
and the category says
"Controllers"
" Looking at the Move description, it does look like an error. Would have been an unusual surprise to find a PS3 for anything under $100. "That's what I thought. But the whole description is for the PS3, plus the "newer version of this item" likes to one of the new 160 GB PS3's.
But the clincher is. It shows as marked down from $499. Which the move never was. I have a feeling that it was only supposed to be marked down to 399.99, and just someone missed a 9. Or at least that's what I'm hoping.
" @Lukeweizer said:Same reason retailers drop prices on games to 5 bucks or something. They want them gone." @regularassmilk: It's the older model. Making way for the slim. "Do you honestly think they would drop it that much though? Thats ridiculous. "
" so the next question is, when they don't honor this what do we collectively do? "Fucking, Riot.
I'd like to think that they've got to get rid of some old PS3's, and they're selling them off cheap. However, the fact that the description says "Out of stock", and the description on the Target site is describing the Move. I'd also like to think that by fucking the page up, they've got to give us PS3's for that price. However, I'm fairly certain we won't be getting PS3's for forty bucks. Shame.
Hmm. Tempted to order this just in case... I don't know that to do!
Ordered one. The worst case is that they give my money and the best is that I get a brand new PS3. Can't really lose here. :)
Bleh. I was excited for a second, but it's clearly a labeling error on Target's behalf that has then transferred to Amazon. Not going to bother ordering one, knowing fully well that the last thing I will be getting is a $40 PS3. Be good to dream though.
