That's an appropriate title for an Amazon misprice.

I'm fairly confident this won't go through for anyone who isn't in Amazon Prime... lots of the shipping dates say 2-4 weeks or 7-12 days now... Very few are actually in stock and ready to ship now. I'm not in Prime, and I can't seem to get the freebie offer by creating a new account, so screw it... Good luck to you all... Entrapment is already sold out, and only one Behind Enemy Lines 2-pack now...

Looks like it's fixed. I'll no longer order from them though as we know they'll just adjust the price and rebill your credit card later.

Hmmmm, I just ordered Badboys 1&2 double dvd for .01, Thats the only one that was still 1 cent. I ordered 10 copies for 10 cents. Do you think I'll be safe in getting these for that price or will I be charged for some odd reason for the full prices? If I will be charged for full prices am I able to canel my order on amazon somewhere?

I don't see how they can charge you full price when it's labeled a completely different price. Now I can see why they would charge you for the B1G1 last december, but when this is labeled for only 1 penny, that should be it. 1 penny.

So what should I do, let me order go through or cancel it?

For those that ordered in bulk, I honestly hope they inflate the price and bring it immediately into shipping soon status

Ordering ridiculous numbers like some of you are doing is such a red flag. There is no way this is going to turn out good. Either the orders will get canceled, or they will bill your cards for the full retail price...

I look forward to seeing how this fiasco turns out.

They started canceling orders for the other .01 items as well. I just got 2 separate emails. I guess I'll be getting 4 more (I ordered 6 items)...

I find it intersting how they can cancel an order that says "shipping soon" but if we wanted to we couldn't.

You people trying to take advantage of an obvious price error and then actually getting upset when your order gets canceled are idiotic. Really.

(Although I don't agree with Amazon attempting to charge people after merchandise has been shipped for whatever price.)

Hmm, cancelled too. I don't really care.

Though I do think they should have honored the price mistake, lol.
