Almost 3 months ago thanks to DVD Talk I was alerted to a misprice of Hannibal on preorder. It was listed as being free. I knew their was a 99.99% chance of not getting it at that price but I ordered like many others anyway. Now 3 months later they finaly send me an email that to go ahead with the order I have to agree to pay $22.49. Needless to say I canceled the order. Oh well at least I got one of the Bond sets at Best Buys missprice way back when. You win some and you lose some.

If I was in amazon.com's position I wouldn't ship the title for Free either. After all they are in the business to make money, not a charity.

Amazon has the best customer service of the web etailers.

Amazon makes good on some misprices... I got the 25 disc CDRW Spools for $1.44 when they were supposed to be $11.44.

they almost always make good if it's in stock, but you never get it if it's a preorder. but hey, it didn't cost you anything to try...

I got 3 of them... Still on the first one. They had plenty of time to change it. It took about 3 months to receive.
