If this would have happened in a walk in store, one person would have got away with it until the cashier called the manager about the price mistake. You guys that are getting ****y over this .. you're just damn lame. Did you really expect the drive? You're basically asking for them to shell out a $150+ coupon for THOUSANDS of orders. Get some common sense over this.

And for you complete morons that are taking this to heart [legally], you're going to waste more time and money than you did by orgasming when you saw the price mistake. Get a clue, tools.

im w/ you guys on the regular 160GB drives...

i just checked it and its still PENDING.

If by tomorrow morning its still in the Pending status, im going to

give them a call and demand that they ship them asap!!

i'll just give them BS that im a system tech at a where i work, DishNetwork

and tell them they are for a company PC that needs the drives ASAP!!

i bet then they'll take me seriously and ship w/o question!!

wow, this thread took a turn for the worse since i was last here. I think this post needs to take a trip to the cemetary. ;(

Holy crap, I guess so. Both my orders were cancelled, but I still have the original confirmations. People, let me know if anyone actually receives the drives!

bad news, emails are going out this afternoon, all orders are going to be canceled as well. If your card has been charged, like me, it's be or is in the process of being refunded. so far, they aren't going to do anything like give us a discount coupon or anything but they might since i spent forever yelling at this lady's boss.

OK people? let?s talk basic business. Anyone who's been billed will likely end up with a credit or a refund. If not, you're sure to have a legal standing for litigation. uBid knows this, so stop acting like they did this on purpose. This is a headache for them, and no doubt they are waiting for the countless threats of lawsuits, ect. They made a mistake, and considering their long history of foul-ups, so did every last moron who tried to buy these harddrives at these clearly insane prices. Granted, I think uBid should go out of business, but not just for this. They should drop dead for their long history of errors just like this. Their customer service is non-existent. It?s clear the company has no idea of how to conduct itself, so it should do the world a favor and go away.

However, I am seriously amazed all the same. No really, you'd have to be a bonafide idiot to think that these were legitimate prices in the first place. This isn?t like it happened with Newegg. If that were the case, I would almost be able to understand the anger, but I would still take up for Newegg as errors are not common to them. Instead, this happened with a repeat offender. Please.. attempt to recognize the distinction. That?s like going to a sleazy used car dealer, buying a rust-bucket pile of garbage masquerading as a car, and then bitching when you have problems with it. What a stunning display of intelligence that must be. Now, some of Neowin?s members can always be counted on to pull some brainless posts devoid of any intelligence. While I wouldn?t call this thread a new low, it?s clearly gunning for that honor. Really now, how many of you actually thought you?d get away with this?? Perhaps it would be best if some of you take the advice of that word perfect support tech we?ve Box up your PC and get rid of it, ?cuz you?re too stupid to even own one.pid to even own one. Interestingly, most of the people bitching seem to be too young to be out on their own, and as such wouldn?t know the first thing about the real world, much less how business runs in it. Most of you who frequent Neowin claim to know more than your parents about computers. If that?s true, then you knew upfront this was a screw-up on uBid?s end. To claim otherwise not only invalidates whatever expertise you think you have in the area of computers, but also reveals glaring na?vet? on your part. Now a bunch of you are complaining over something you knew wasn't true from the start. What sense does that make? Don?t we have enough whining on Neowin? What a bunch of sore losers and retards. But there is an entertaining angle to all of this: some of you clowns have this asinine uBid should honor it's price ?alliance" or whatever that hell that?s supposed to be. Yea, uBid is so freaked out now that a massive alliance with a staggering grand total of roughly 15 kids or so thinks they should just give away expensive PC equipment just because they say so. Yeah. Right.

To all the people complaining over this: don't worry. You really are victims. That is, victims of your own exaggerated sense of entitlement. Next time you see an error like this on a web store, do yourself (and not coincidentally, the rest of Neowin) a favor: check your reality deficit disorder at the door and try employing some b:hmmm:ogic for a change.

:hmmm:

lmfao leave it to delta to say it like it is.

yea they had a box shipped to them that contained toenail clippings and a few nose hairs along with a note that said "here's what you get for $20"

OMG that would be so funny, they are having them shipped to the business, so we will see, ill just look for them on teh shipping report.

showing Shipped doesn't mean that it actually was sent to them.

Actually that's very much what the term "shipped" is supposed to mean. Means it left the warehouse or at very worst is sitting in the outgoing bay waiting for a truck, packed and everything.

(I worked in a warehouse packing stupid crap like gloves for one year in my first teenage years before becoming an evil network admin.)

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
