I must have gotten my order in just before the bell. Ordered Alias, Angel and Will and Grace. Also received Free Shipping on my order.
No confirmation email as of yet.

Here is my deal.
I ordered the following.
Everwood: Complete First Season
Alias: Season 3
Clerks
American Dreams: Season One - Extended Music Edt
Without a Trace: Complete First Season
When I placed the order, the confirmation screen showed my total as $56.65. I have not recieved an email yet. When I log into my account, it shows this order and they are listed as "BACK ORDERED ITEMS", but no prices are listed.
Is that normal?

For everyone that had already placed an order, I think that it is good that they have corrected the prices. Another plus, this deal never made it to the FW board. Hopefully they didn't get swamped with orders and will honor the orders for the lucky ones that got in on time. Once again, a big thanks to the OP.

Not that a couple of rather big merchants who should have known better haven't tried (and then quickly backed off once the issue was escalated to someone with a clue), but such cases are few and far between. I don't think we've had such a case reported here in at least the last two years.

wolverine - as a guess, I bet their system flakes out if an entire order is "backordered" (which is how it is listing this pre-orders) and thus doesn't given it a real order number. Could be any number of things, just an educated guess having had just a little bit of experience with computer software.

Jah-Wren Ryel: I agree. I could be totally wrong, but I think somewhere along the ordering process I read that an order number would not be assigned until the items shipped. I tried duplicating this but could never find that message again. I did all of this before my lunch so it may have been a hunger-hallucination.

We will send you a confirmation e-mail with all of your order information including your order number and links to any relevant rebates. Your order number will be e-mailed to you when your product ships.

How often have things like this actually worked? I've never tried to get in on a misprice on a website before.
