It’s Official: $100 Sony Touch was Pricing Mistake

May 18, 2010 by Nathan

I was holding out hope that I'd be getting two shiny new Sony PRS-600s for just $100 each after finding them Saturday morning on Borders.com, but I received an email from Borders that confirms it was indeed a pricing error and that the order has been canceled.

On the bright side, they are sending a $25 gift certificate, and I'm already trying to figure out what to spend it on.

It turns out they were supposed to be $100 off, which brings the price to $199. Still a good price, the lowest ever in fact, but it just doesn't quite have the same appeal as a $100.

Here's the email:

Dear Nathan,

You recently placed Order(s) at Borders.com, which included an order for a Sony Reader Touch Edition.

Unfortunately, the price shown at the time of your order was in error and we are unable to fulfill your order at that price. As a result, your order for the Sony Reader Touch Edition will be canceled.
