I think that those of you that have scored this deal may have gotten lucky...
I went to my local store today, which still had a few that were marked at 49.99. I had the cashier price check it, and it rang up 2.99. However, she was unsure so she called her manager. Her manager told her to call corporate. Corporate said it sounded like a mistake, but the buyer was on lunch. Their hunch was that the game was supposed to be marked 29.99 and it's a pricing mistake. Their reasoning was that they never sell anything below cost, and cost on the game was $25 and some change.
While I wish the girl had just sold them to me, she was very nice and really was just doing her job.
Right now the remaining copies at my store are on hold with my name on them. They're going to call me once corporate calls them. If it is indeed a mistake, I'd expect the other stores to be notified, so get them while you can.
If they do end up selling them to me, I'll make my extra copies available for $10 shipped as others have done.
EDIT---It's confirmed, $2.99 is the price. PM me if you are interested, I'll sell them first come first serve.
