Update on the Starcraft 2 Best Buy Price Mistake

 So this morning I checked my email only to find the dreaded cancellation email. The email titled "Best Buy Order Update" said the following message:

Dear DANIEL,

There was a pricing error on the Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty video game; as a result, your order will be cancelled and you will not be charged for this item. We are sorry for this error and apologize for any inconvenience.

 Within a few hours later, I received my refund of $5.49. Well, it was worth a shot. Honestly, I was hoping Best Buy would give me a small gift card or credit for raising my hopes up and making me go through the whole checkout process.I guess I'll just have to wait until Starcraft 2 goes on sale or I have some coupon or promotional code because I don't want to have to pay $60.

Starcraft 2 Best Buy Price Mistake

So at around 3 A.M. today, I was browsing through some online deal forums and stumbled upon a topic titled "Starcraft 2 for only $5 Best Buy?" My eyes widened and jaw dropped the moment I saw this. At the same time I was also very suspicious and doubtful about it, but after clicking on the link, there it was. The page featuring Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty for sale at $5. "What the f...?!?!" was the first thing that came out of my mouth. It stated $59.99 as the regular price, then saying $54.99 was how much you saved, and finally the final price which was $5.00. Of course, I knew it was a price mistake from the beginning, and can assume they meant to put $54.99 as the final price and $5 being how much you saved. But, what the heck, why not give it a try. So I clicked the green button, which stated "ADD TO CART" and went through the payment process leading me to the the completed transaction page. Even though I knew I was in for an email cancellation, deep down inside I prayed they give me the game for that price. I slept like a baby right after that. Today I woke up at around 12:30 P.M. and decided to check my email. Surprisingly, I did not receive the anticipated cancellation email. I then went back onto the Best Buy website and found that the page for Starcraft 2 was completely gone. Strange... well I guess I will have to wait a while to see what happens next. Until then, I'm out to party and get drunk! Just kidding... Happy 4th of July!
