Metal Gear Solid 2 - PS2 $9.99 @ Outpost.com. Mistake?

They have it listed twice. One for $9.99 and one for $49.99. If you want to give it a try, here is the link

They also have a listing for Oni @ $9.99 too.

I think the 2nd day air shipping is about the same as ground.

I just pulled the trigger...bought a copy each for two ex college roomates who just bought PS2's.

The worst that could happen is they'll cancel my order...Or, pull an Amazon and charge me full price without contacting me. If it's the latter, I'll just dispute the charge with my CC company.

My guess is that it's the strategy guide, but I took a chance and ordered.

I too got screwed. It was a mistake according to the CS rep. Lucky for them somewhere in the customer agreement they claim they are allowed to get out of the sale. I wonder when people are finaly going to realize that you cant trust any internet companies to stick to their word, even with a recipt.

Just got a response from the ead guy. Looks like they are sticking to there "legal" out. ANyone read thier disclaimer at


http://shop3.outpost.com/help/29535/

The first paragraph is about typos. SInce more than one game went on sale at that price its not a typo, and since the second paragraph deals with outside advertsing, not confirmed purchases, dont they have to at least give us a better excuse?
