Just ordered a 60GB PS3 for 40 bucks.

I say we who ordered through Amazon insist that there should be some form of compensation and that they should heavily consider removing Target from their list of vendors because of this. I have yet to receive any notification beyond the order confirmation, so I cannot say, but if we put enough pressure on Amazon to get compensation, perhaps they can force Target to be the one who pays at risk of their business partnership.

Sure, there seems to be some sort of statement that protects them from legality online, but it would still be bad practice for such a large and well known company to say the customer was wrong and that a mistake on their behalf shouldn't be honored or compensated for.


Also, sure, I went into this knowing that it was likely too good to be true, but a business is a business. Let's all complain, but be civil about it and we'll likely profit from it. Tis' the American way.

Actually, use that which I've bolded. Target, however, does not consider their patrons to be customers, they are considered "guests" by the employees/staff. This is part of the pre-employment indoctrination. So, saying the customer is always right will backfire as target can turn around and say "but you are not customers, you are guests" and use their legal team to spin liability out from themselves.
