This morning my friend told me that last night he heard there was some sort of glitch with Amazon pricing where PS3s were being sold for $40. He bought two and received the confirmation email confirming the item and price. He realizes there's a good possibility his order will be canceled but thought ordering a couple couldn't hurt. Has anyone else heard about this or ordered one of these?

according to Nintendo Age, thousands of people ordered them but its' a glitch and it's actually a Kinnect controller.

Um... but I thought Kinect didn't need controllers?

"hopefully you are like me and are really checking this out to see if this deal is for real. hopefully you will also be reading this review... I was skeptical and i checked a whole lot of sites to see if this was a real deal or not. IT IS NOT! Slickdeals.net says it is a typo - the product you think you are buying (the 60gb older model ps3 console - fat version) is actually a PS3 Move controller - Shooter Grip for $39.99. i googled to find out if this deal was real... slickdeals.net - (their forum) confirmed it for me. it is a big typo. target's website takes you to Move controllers as well for this deal, while amazon has it listed as the 60gb console. some ppl are saying it is an old model from 2006 or a refurb, but other sites confirmed by ppl who bought this thing that it really is a PS3 Move Advanced Shooter Grip controller.

other testimony from slickdeals.net: I called a local Target store and asked for the item description based on the DPCI. They said it's a shooter grip. This is bait and switch indeed. At checkout, it says PlayStation 3 Move Advanced Shooter Grip (PlayStation 3) and makes it clear you are not actually buying a PS3.If you buy through the amazon.com link, it clearly states playstation 3 even in the emailed confirmation. READ THE TEXT ON AMAZON. It says fulfilled by Target. I'm sure it's also a mistake"

So the people that ordered 40$ PS3's are going to be receiving motion controllers? lol

As soon as I read this topic, I rushed to Amazon to try and buy one...

Not even a motion controller. It's a piece of plastic that the controller (not included) fits in. AKA worthless.
