(Expired) Bestbuy - StarCraft II Wings of Liberty for Windows for $5

Most likely a price error. Bestbuy.com has the StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty-Windows for a killer deal

1. Bestbuy Price : $5.00

Possibly, but they usually honor it if you place the order before they fix it.

 

[linguaUniversal]

I was a little too late. The "Add to Cart button" changed to "coming Soon" after I waited 5 minutes!

 

[whttgr]

but so what you can't really buy it - it just says "comming soon"

 

[Cipher]

You could before, but I confirmed with them that it is an error and any orders placed would be canceled.

 

[jrossing]

This is the *pre-order* price- the cost to reserve a copy, only. You will be expected to pay the full cost of the game when you pick it up from Best Buy when it is released. It's a common way of selling software, though Best Buy did a poor job of making it clear that that's what this was.

 

[zwaldo]

OH my gawds! my eyes got super big when I saw this I was going to buy 20 copies so i could send them to all my friends most addicting game ever!

 

[Valkyrie]

usually price mistakes will always get cancelled

 

[SaveMe]

BB has always cancelled price mistakes on me (the 2 or 3 times I have "gotten" the deal)

It is NOT a pre-order deposit

No, it is NOT a pre-order reservation cost. According to the receipt I printed this morning when I got in on the deal, it says REG PRICE $59.99, You Save $54.99, Total Price $5.00. The YOU SAVE and TOTAL PRICE figures were just mixed up.

They then add shipping and tax. If you SAVE $54.99 off of a $59.99 item, its cost is only $5.00

This is definitely just a mistake. Whether they honor it or not, will depend on their decision alone. Some industries have to honor price mistakes by law, and others don't. Supermarkets will usually give you one of the item that is wrong for free if you get overcharged from the advertised or posted price. If an item is advertised wrong, disclaimers must be prominently displayed ASAP. I still have not seen a disclaimer about the wrong price on the Best Buy site. They just removed the item so more people can't order it but they haven't notified me yet about any cancellation.

They will always cancel your order if it's a price mistake. Its happened to me many times.

"Prices and availability of products and services are subject to change without notice. Errors will be corrected where discovered, and Best Buy reserves the right to revoke any stated offer and to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions including after an order has been submitted and whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card charged. If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your order is cancelled, Best Buy will issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the charge. Individual bank policies will dictate when this amount is credited to your account. If you are not fully satisfied with your purchase, you may return it in accordance with Best Buy's Return Policy."
