I saw this in my local Best Buy flyer this weekend, but the price was certainly NOT $129, as was seen on their web site earlier this week, according to a report over at the The Inquirer. (Would have been really really nice to have a gf4 4600 for 129 bucks... deal of the year I would have thought... Ed!
BEST BUY has become a US doppelganger for Kodak, after it advertised and sold boards for $129.99 as a result of what it claims is a mistake.
Unknown numbers of customers ordered the VisionTek Geforce 4 TI 4600 from Best Buy over the last few days and now the company has said it was all just a terrible mistake and the real price should have been $399.99 ($400 if you eliminate the daft sales spin).
Here is an excerpt from an email being sent to customers who ordered the video card priced in error.
