Yeah good luck with that - they have a get-out clause in the UK that says something like if the price was quite clearly a mis-price (like a 52" TV which would have cost nearly $2000 being sold for $9.99) they can not honour the deal.

Luckily, I'm not in the UK. Where I'm at, BB has been forced by state consumer protection laws to honor advertised prices. If BB makes a stink over it, they'll just end up having to honor it anyway.

Does this works?

For California

AB 1721 (Koretz-D) Prices: overcharges

Prohibits any person, at the time of sale of a commodity, from charging, as defined, an amount greater than the price, or computing an amount greater than a true extension of the price per unit, that is then advertised, posted, marked, displayed, or quoted for that commodity.

http://www.sen.ca.gov/sfa/2003/_03_DL03.HTM

and

12024.2. (a) It is unlawful for any person, at the time of sale of

a commodity, to do any of the following:

(1) Charge an amount greater than the price, or to compute an

amount greater than a true extension of a price per unit, that is

then advertised, posted, marked, displayed, or quoted for that

commodity.

(2) Charge an amount greater than the lowest price posted on the

commodity itself or on a shelf tag that corresponds to the commodity,

notwithstanding any limitation of the time period for which the

posted price is in effect.

(b) A violation of this section is a misdemeanor punishable by a

fine of not less than twenty-five dollars ($25) nor more than one

thousand dollars ($1,000), by imprisonment in the county jail for a

period not exceeding one year, or by both, if the violation is

willful or grossly negligent, or when the overcharge is more than one

dollar ($1).

© A violation of this section is an infraction punishable by a

fine of not more than one hundred dollars ($100) when the overcharge

is one dollar ($1) or less.

(d) As used in subdivisions (b) and ©, "overcharge" means the

amount by which the charge for a commodity exceeds a price that is

advertised, posted, marked, displayed, or quoted to that consumer for

that commodity at the time of sale.

(e) Except as provided in subdivision (f), for purposes of this

section, when more than one price for the same commodity is

advertised, posted, marked, displayed, or quoted, the person offering

the commodity for sale shall charge the lowest of those prices.

(f) Pricing may be subject to a condition of sale, such as

membership in a retailer-sponsored club, the purchase of a minimum

quantity, or the purchase of multiples of the same item, provided

that the condition is conspicuously posted in the same location as

the price.

I dont know, worth a try but I dont think Best Buy will cancle the orders. I remember a good deal from Slickdeals.com for a 1 TB external HD for a good price at Dell.com, I placed an order but Dell cancled the order and everyone posted their cancles on Slickdeals.

I live in Cali also.

ahh I forgot to check Bing's Cashback since it is having a special double cashback offer now.

That doesn't stop them from cancelling the sale. Any shop keeper / retail / online can refuse a sale at any point for any reason.

As stupid as it sounds, my corner shop could refuse me sale of bread.

That depends on how far the sale has gone. As far as I know, if they take payment in the UK (i.e. if you've paid for the bread) then they are under a legal contract to supply it.

That's why most online companies don't take payment until they ship the item.

    • The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months

      By sphbecker · Posted

      Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.
    • The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The tech specs are given below: Specification TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 2TB Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Interface PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Form Factor M.2 2280 M.2 2280 Controller InnoGrit Controller Samsung In-house Controller NAND Flash 3D TLC 3D TLC DRAM Cache None (HMB supported) 2GB LPDDR4 Sequential Read (Max) 5,000 MB/s 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write (Max) 4,500 MB/s 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4K) Up to 600,000 IOPS Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4K) Up to 700,000 IOPS Up to 1,550,000 IOPS TBW (Endurance) 1,300 TBW 1,200 TBW MTBF 3,000,000 hours 1,500,000 hours Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C -40°C to 85°C Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5ms 1,500G / 0.5ms Heatsink Patented Graphene Heat Spreader No Get them at the links below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) TEAMGROUP T-Force G50 2TB SSD (TM8FFE002T0C129): $279.99 (Sold by TeamGroup, Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault

      By sphbecker · Posted

      "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
