Anything that is gaming related that doesn't fit well anywhere else

My friend hasn't heard anything yet about cancellation or fixing his order. His confirmation still has 2 60GB PS3s for $40 :roll: .

My friend told me about it yesterday, he was going to order one but he didn't have enough money in his account to buy it. Good thing he didn't :lol:

I saw that! I was thinking about ordering one, but i knew it was a glitch that probably would have been canceled, and it was "sold out" as well.

I ordered one through Amazon because it registers as a PS3. Now I don't expect anything to ship and it will get canceled, but who knows I have nothing to lose and may get a cheap PS3.

BTW: Amazon won't ship another item since it was always listed on their site as a console. This was per customer service. (someone else's claim from calling amazon not mine)
