Psyringe: Yeah, it was on sale for 75% off for a short duration, then they changed it to 50%. Possibly the 75% was a mistake on their part. Nice for the customers who acted quick enough (GamersGate won't tray to revoke their purchases, they usually stand by their mistakes).
SimonG: Gamersgate
can't revoke the purchase, simple as that. As the Ferengi Rule of Aquisition says. A contract is a contract is a contract.
That actually depends. There are also laws that allow retailers, particularly online ones, to cancel purchases made when prices had errors. Amazon, for example, put up a $2000 tv on sale for like $100 a few years ago by mistake. A bunch of people placed orders that, naturally, weren't ever fulfilled.
Then again, I believe Amazon cancelled the orders before they were charged. No idea what happens once the customer has been charged, though Amazon did honor an error price with some CDs a few months ago when I got like 25 CDs for $30. They cancelled the orders that hadn't yet been charged, but the ones they had charged me for they sent to me. So it depends, I guess.
