LotR: The Battle for Middle Earth (DVD) $9.99 at Amazon-Dead

I just tried to buy it, and was shut down. Looks like they at least fixed the mistake, but hopefully they will honor the price for the people who ordered it
 
[quote name='dmanko']amazon cancels orders with impunity. All you naysayers obviously have never tried to get in on a big price mistake by them like this before. Now it has hit a few boards and they will NOT honor it.

I am still ordering on the off chance that some random act of god makes this slip through their radar! :)[/quote]
Does Amazon usually cancel the orders right away, or do they wait until they ship?
 
[quote name='tubtub']Whenever I got in on the Amazon mistakes, they usually cancel the orders right away(within a few days).[/quote]
I guess that Ill keep my $20 CD version order with them, because Ive had that order for months and it has not been canceled yet. If I get both Ill just sell one of them to a friend.
 
I just got my "Cancellation Notice" from Amazon.
New price $49.99!
Suffice it to say that I will not be ordering it at that price.
 
Got the dreaded CANCELLATION email just a few minutes ago ...

[quote name='secretvampire']Oh well, at least my order for the $19.99 CD edition is still active! Bummer on this one though...[/quote]
Same here. Its been active for months, so I doubt it will get canceled.
 
I got the cancellation notice from my order direct from target.com So that didn't make a difference.

Don't blame them for cancelling the orders, but it would have been very nice to send a small gift certificate or % off coupon code as a consolation.

I think that if you send them an email asking for repertations they will send you a $15 off code.

I gave them no small end of business and they basically told me to get bent. No coupon, no apologies, just "we made a mistake with the pricing due to human error and computer error". Complete crap.

They should honor it, take that as a sharp reminder on their bottom line to check before they post, and then go on with their day. Fscking idiots.

I guess I'll give it a shot. And is it a code good for anything or do they somehow work it so you have to use it on this game?
