    They may have put a hold on the code releases so they have a chance to cancel orders. If they cancel it you'll get the money back, no worries.

    You'd be wasting your time. There's always a little line in the user agreement that says they reserve the right to cancel orders if there's a pricing error. They'll refund your money. This happens all the time. Please don't curse out the poor support guy.

    I understand that, however normally if the error is on their part it is up to them to honor that price to the people who got it before it changed. And the fact that flipping out causes them to give you your way does cause people to do this. I very rarely ever flip out on people but that in a ton of ways is not cool for them to not honor that price.

    Yea not sorry they aren't required to honor a misprinted price. Lots of companies will but they aren't obligated to. And frankly if $20 is that big of a deal maybe video games aren't a priority lol.

    It's not always up to them to honor it. These kinds of mistake happen all the time in any company. Some honor them, some don't. It's really not that big of a deal. Sure, we all want everything as cheap as possible, but in the end, nobody is entitled. Relax.

    The difference in 24.99 and 59.99 is a pretty big deal people fight on black Friday for those savings! I was gonna have to pay for it anyway it was just nice to find a good deal posted here.
