[quote name='arcane93']Assuming, of course that this is a price mistake. It's always possible that they managed to get a deal on overstocks, or leftover non-returnable warehouse stock from another retailer (say, Borders) that closed down, etc. Admittedly it's a long shot -- odds are high that it was a mistake and these orders will be cancelled. But I wouldn't necessarily just assume that to be the case either. Far as I'm concerned, it didn't hurt to throw an order in, and if they cancel it, then they cancel it. No big deal.[/QUOTE]
Supposing they did get overstock, you seriously think DD of all companies would sell them for $8.99? They could sell them for more than double that and still sell out of every single one. Frankly, giving "deep discounts" like this out of the blue, especially with zero advertising of it is not something DD does. At the very least, if they planned to heavily discount something like this, they'd make it their deal of the day, and again, at maybe $30 or $40, NOT $8.99.
Additionally, if it wasn't a price mistake, then why is the price back up to $74.63? I have no doubt whatsoever that this was a price mistake. Whether they'll honor any of them is still unknown, but I imagine most of us are in for a cancellation. Whether they give some sort of discount to make up for that is also unknown. When they had their recent anime sale and orders were delayed they emailed out $5 discount codes, so it's possible they could do something like that again (though I think that's unlikely too).
