EB games had an error this morning with NFL2k3 listed at 4.99. It's now 14.99.

Not that big a deal but still.

Yeah, Rygar for PS2 was only $4.99. The funny thing is that when some people saw those errors, they thought it was real and ordered the game online.

I remember a pre order error on a site that had Unreal Championship for 29.99 last year. I know that some of the people actually did get the game for 30$ but some were left out in the cold.

the others didnt push hard enough then.

If they have it advertised for a certain price they will legally HAVE to give it to you at that price. even if its a mistake.

so some people could actually get the game for 4.99 if they have it advertized as that and you can prove it.

^^ Exactly. False advertising is completely illegal.

Exactly.

As I remember it the price was that way for over a week and everyone who was on any major board knew about it. A few months later, right before the release, they sent out emails to everyone who ordered it saying that they wouldn't be honoring the 30$ tag. Everyone who complained ended up getting it for 30, other people didn't speak up.
