ZaltysZ Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Mine is also waiting for shipping. I will either receive a junk or 1/3 of its price will be covered by someone else. :D Wir sehen uns in Walhalla.
Vapour Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Mines been dispatched, I can't believe the price I got it for. Play.com have their price increased as well.
sneakypete Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Still £269.24 at More computers (UK). Ok, not so good as £199 but still £60 cheaper than the original £329.99.
coolts Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Well done you lucky guys who got a cheapie. Spare a thought for the poor amazon-monkey who is probably now licking kindle boxes as punishment for his cockup.

hog_driver111th Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 I totally wanted to buy at this price, but the boss said no (wife)... why oh why did the refridgerator have to break last week? Hopefully they will have another screw-up real soon.

Daniel Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Just thought I'd post that I was just looking at my wishlist on Amazon.co.uk and the Warthog has had a whopping £130 knocked off. I don't know if it's just for Christmas but it is certainly a bargain. :) Thank you! Ordered it for £199 (about 235€) with free shipping to my country! :megalol: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] OS: Windows 10 Pro 64Bit - CPU: Intel Core i7-9700K - MB: Asus ROG Maximus XI Hero - RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB DDR4 3200 - GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX2080ti Controllers: Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog, Thrustmaster Cougar MFDs, Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals Head tracking: FaceTrackNOIR+FreeTrack 3 Points Cap VR headset: VALVE Index
Swaty Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Now is £319.99 This morning was £299.99 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My Pit
WynnTTr Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Wow. Nice guys. I'm happy for you cos you'll get to see what a great piece of hardware this is. I'm slightly jealous of the price but I'm not the sort that has patience when something new and shiny comes along. I figure a few extra dollars is the price to pay for that earlier time actually playing with the thing.

Scarecrow Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Got myself a hogstick before the price went back up :), this is the second time i've seen something like this. The first was RAM from an online pc hardware company, the big one, they tried to give me back my money and cancel the order so I was forced to explain to them that once the money left the bank the deal was done. Good to see Amazon stand behind their mistake.:joystick:
159th_Viper Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Karma! Remember when we corresponded with Amazon prior to release in an attempt to get a reduced price for reasons that now escape me? All our eloquent and well-versed missives were met with contempt and dismissed with vigour. After a further rant all I managed to obtain was a £3 gift voucher :music_whistling: They really should have listened and paid attention the first time.............:P OK - senseless muttering aside, congrats to all that managed to take advantage of the wee 'lapse'.

airea Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Was that really a mistake? I thought it was a one time and limited offer for Christmas or something... Amazon does not ship to my country but I have a friend in Germany and she ordered one for me from 199 pound. The order seems to be honored but she did not receive the product yet. But from the beginning, I thougt it was a limited offer and now I am not comfortable for my order, as it could be a mistaken price on the net. Afterall, when we buy from a mistaken price, it will probably be a poor amazon employee who will take the whole burden for his/her mistake. Not ethical I guess....
Speedfreak Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 Was that really a mistake?. I don't think so. The play.com's offer was also at 199 pounds.
sneakypete Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 I don't think so. The play.com's offer was also at 199 pounds. Agreed, the price had been on a downward trend at both Play and Amazon beforehand. Just Christmas price-wars I reckon! Got mine yesterday and updated firmware ok. This thing is a work of art! :joystick:
Cowboy10uk Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 Damn They did send it :D God bless Amazon, Not sure if it was a mistake or a genuine offer. But Amazon gets all my busness from now on, Since they still sent it and charged me only 199. What a week, Wife gets a better job, I get a bonus a work and now this, I wonder if I can win the lottery as well ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Fighter pilots make movies, Attack pilots make history, Helicopter pilots make heros. :pilotfly: Corsair 570x Crystal Case, Intel 8700K O/clocked to 4.8ghz, 32GB Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200 MHZ Ram, 2 x 1TB M2 drives, 2 x 4TB Hard Drives, Nvidia EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW, Maximus x Hero MB, H150i Cooler, 6 x Corsair LL120 RGB Fans And a bloody awful Pilot :doh:

redboers Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 I also ordered it at £199, i am just waiting for an email from Amazon to say the price was incorrect ROFLMAO

Revvin Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 I don't believe it was a mistake, Amazon have been doing some crazy deals over the last few months so I wouldn't be surpried if it was a limited time offer. I've bought a large number of games in the last few months for really good prices. On a lesser scale they've had Forza 3 Ultimate Edition for £11.75 but has gone up in price in the last day or so to £17.82. Its on a smaller scale but lots of items I have been watching have done similar things to their prices as Amazon has been really competitive.
Vapour Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Still waiting on mine, seems it's stuck in a sorting centre, has been for the last 5 days. I mightn't have it for Xmas which would be a shame. Still at least it's in transit.
