Please don't post Amazon mis-prices on here, we all know by now that they NEVER honour purchases if the price is so clearly wrong.

 

If i order it now will they charge me full price when it goes back on stock?

No, they'll send you an email saying the item was mis-priced and they'll refund the purchase.

Whenever you pre-order an item eligible for our Pre-order Price Guarantee, the price you pay will be the lowest price offered by Amazon between the time you place your order up to and including the release date, (where the item has a stated release date), or the date the item is dispatched or electronically fulfilled (where the item does not have a stated release date).

A Pre-order Price Guarantee message will appear on your order summary during the checkout process. If you use 1-Click ordering, Pre-order Price Guarantee protection will be automatically applied. The order summary in Your Account will reflect the lowest applicable price within 48 hours of any price change.

edit: don't know what the T&Cs say about this specific situation but I imagine they have their asses covered.

Must have been a while ago then, I haven't heard of them doing that any time recently.

They're in stock, any word on being honored?

They've reverted to the origination price.

However

Interesting thing is, while it still has not been dispatched, it HAS NOT been canceled. So I'm going to hold out and see what they do.

Let me know if it works, but wouldn't be the shipping be expensive cause you live in the US?

My orders were cancelled :/ Although it's not really a surprise. It would have been crazy if Amazon had honoured a £200 for £60.11

I only just got an email today telling me that it has been cancelled. 

 

Now I hope you don't get it. :P
